Carnage- check out this car graveyard!!

Yo, guys! Let's go to the top of the page and RATE Utah Dodge's thread! I just gave it 5 Blue Stars. Awesome tour of the gorge and its treasures!

 

Stay off my land.

 

I'd be all over that place if I lived out there. Like someone else said, probably lots of critters living in there though.

 

let me guess...
you are going to fix them up someday and they are not for sale.

clamshell burb sitting there, thats not right.

 

cash for klunker money went where?

 

the state needs to clean that mess up,

 

Unbelievable what they use to do with old cars in the day, it was a way of shoring up a bank in a river. That is some beautiful country and cool tin photo's, I wonder how much can be saved out of that pile.
I pulled a '37 Ford from a river bank everything was shot expect the main body. Sure would love to see pictures of the Hemi being pulled out of the gorge.

cool pix,thanx for posting

 

Is it just me, or does that body on top of the pile look like its been staged to be plucked out of there? Theres no way it bounced down a cliff wall and then landed like that.

Man! Thank You So Much for posting those photos! I would love to know where that is exactly and take a hike down there. GPS coords would be rippin!

 

I used to see stuff like this all the time in the Deadwood/Lead area of South Dakota. Usually it was a combination of old car wrecks and a dump site. You saw plenty of stuff you'd like to "take a part out of" . . . except you needed a damn helicopter to even consider it. I never really saw anything that was really worth much . . just piles of beat up sheet metal that nobody could get to. All of it ended up going to the car crushers . . . probably where most of it deserved to go. Still . . . was fun to walk down through and ponder if only each car could tell it's story . . .

man i could dig through all that for hours theres probly some real treasures buried in there. old dumps are the best place to look for cool old shit, and yard art. i would have grabed that tricycle

 

Far out ,Beautiful country. Thanks for sharing.

 

There used to be a place like that near here in Little River Canyon.People would steal cars back in the 60s and run them off the cliff.It was covered in junk and cars for many years.The state somehow got funding and got army helicopters to help get the cars out a few years ago.From the videos on the news it looks like some old cars dating back to the 40s were down there.I am sure there was some valuable stuff down there as I remember hearing kids talk when I was in high school about people having their GTOs,Impalas and other muscle cars stolen and then dumped over the side.

 

There is still some good parts if you are looking for trinkets and patch panels i have been 5 or more times and everytime i find something new. the posse and i have pulled out a complete 48 ford front end,half of a duece 5 window model a doors and garnish moldings a 35&36 dash, 34 chevy truck cab and all sorts of other shit and i think i even am the one that showed it to Utahdodge ,ive heard from some old timers that there is even a stanley steamer in the bottom but who knows and becareful if you go ther its steep and deep

 

yes milkweed, you are the one who turned me on to this place. You were not kidding about the hike. I would have loved to have seen you getting stuff out. Must have been quite a chore. Back to the top for the evening crew.

 

yep
crane attached to two big d8 cats with a padded magnet

get er done

 

or you could build a raft and float stuff to a easier pick up area. lol

 

I think you may have found a pot of gold, or at least a treasure hunt. Very sad to see.

 

Thanks for the photos, what an amazing pile of metal!

 

cool pics, i see an ole coke sign that would be worth grabbing and the vw on spider legs is goner piss off my mate as hes been planning exactly that with an australian old holden body. looks like a great day out. thanks.

 

I may be seeing things but is there a 36 ford in there amongst the wreckage? anyone see that?..has bullet holes.

 

Pic #67 shows a car upside down in the middle of the picture, still has some paint on the rear fender and you can see the tailight. Is that the remains of a Woody? Kinda reminds me of a Chrysler Town and Country.
Great pics by the way. Love this kinda stuff. I found a stash that I'm building a shop for to bring home. Some look like this, others the body looks just fine.

 

oh my.

road trip time..

 

When are we going?

 

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Looks like they stopped filling it at just about the right time. It's all 50's era and earlier.

 

I agree - roadtrip.. but this license plate is over the top ! thanks for posting,

tHE NEWEST PLATE I HAVE FOUND IN THERE WAS 1963 SO IM WILLING TO BET SOMETIME IN THE SIXTIES IS WHEN THEY QUIT DUMPING THERE IS A CONCRETE PAD AT THE TOP OF THE CLIFF WHERE THEY USE TO PUSH THE STUFF OFF

 

"a time and place for everything"......hmmmm, time was apparently right, but boy did they get the place wrong!
