I am from Va and I too have found these "stashes." I am headed back the end of this month and there is a JY there that I will be checking. Actually, a couple. One is about 50 acres and the other about only 23. I know the one guy has been rear ended by a dumptruck and has been in such pain and the medical bills are going up, so he's a crushin. I know musclecars aren't the focus here, but he crushed some nice GTOs and 67-68 mustang fastbacks, chevelles and camaros. He's a mopar guy, you blame him? LOL!! Anyhow, he never crushed the mopars so we'll see what he's still got....
Hey nice find! Im here in Va, if you need any assistance gettin those out on time let me know. Maybe I could drive up and give you a hand, its cold and nothing else to do. Like a easter egg hunt for grown men!
KK, thanks for the offer. I don't have any scheduled times to go I just work when I have the time. If I can manage to plan ahead a bit I'll give you a yell and your welcome to come on over.
We got a new gate functional and burned up some of the brush and looks like next week we can start pulling out a few cars!
Great find. And good for you taking on such a big project. I hope it pays dividends for you. I'm curious though...where are YOU going to store all that stuff? Man if you had a big factory and you could bust them all down into parts (except the good builders) it would be a goldmine. Good luck, we're all watching Pete Oh, yeah. Good luck with that 4 sp nailhead Doc. I'll let you know what they go like soon
I got ya trouser snake right here.........sorry I couldn't resist,thought for a minute I was 13 again.
Both have the 261 6 cylinders but the buss's weren't part of the deal (yet). The owner wants to look through them before she will deal.
How cool man... good for you guys. I can see one of the buses is pretty long, but is the other one that's close to the building a shorter one by any chance or is it long too ? Id just grab all sorts of trim pieces and start throwing stuff on ebay like crazy. Good luck!
man I see so much great stuff. I really want that 53/4 chevy there in the middle of the last photo but I dont have room or any extra $ now well and its 1100 miles east of me. Congrats man and if you can get these somewhere you'll make a killing over time. Don't ebay everything try the HAMB first, please but ebay will bring you tons of $. Hope your timeline isnt up just yet, was it the city or the owner who wanted them out by Feb?
There's nothing better than biting off more than you can chew. Hope you do well out of the deal. Doc, what's the Nailhead going into?
Hope your timeline isnt up just yet, was it the city or the owner who wanted them out by Feb?[/quote] The owner wanted them gone by Feb.09. It's here and I'm negotiating for an extension. If I don't get it I'm gonna have to crush stuff to get my $ back or lose it and the cars back to the owner.
you shouldve had a day set up where the last week if you hadnt moved them, you just open the yard and something like $300-$400 any car thats yours. Buyer must bring the trailer and move the vehicle off the lot. That way atleast you get some of the it back and thats more than the (summer 08) scrap price, now a days scrap is nothing though. Hope you get the extension, losing them afte all that work would suck big time. Let us know
Got a bit of an extension until April 29. I just don't have the time I had hoped to take these cars apart. Bring your trailers and $500.00 take your pick.
Here's a list of what I've uncovered so far: 50 chevy truck 63 ford 500 4dr 64 ford custom 4dr 60 chevy 4dr 56 buick 4dr 54 chevy truck 61 chevy 2dr 49 chevy 4dr 54 chevy 2dr 52 chevy 2dr 62 galaxy 4dr 50 chevy 4dr 55 buick 4dr 62 olds 88 4dr 60 corvair 4dr 57 chevy 4dr 50 chevy truck 60 corvair 2dr 49 chevy 2dr 51 desoto 4dr hook up that trailer and 'come on down'.
That Desoto have a Hemi? I won't be able to buy a car but if you're willing to part the Desoto, I could use some Hemi parts. Thanks. Mark
