    I left early this morning to check out this junk yard here in Southern, WV. Someone told me a while back there were some old cars there. Well, there was well over 300 50's and older ones there. I took a bunch of pics. I put them up on a separate page instead of posting all of them here to make it more "board friendly". All of the ones I resized are posted on http://s760.photobucket.com/albums/**250/chieftain52/Junkyard/

    Thought I'd share the pics I took...

    I'm going back in the next week or so to get a few things for my cars.

    Nice find! Looks like there are several that could be brought back pretty easily!

    Can you tell me if the cab behind this truck is a 40-46 Chevy cab?

    Dave, great find, man! All the old car boneyards I haunted when young are now gone with the wind. SO, it is great to know a few still survive!!! Thanks for the pix, buddy.

    I am planning to go back next week, when I do, I'll get a phone number for those who want to call the guy. He will sell whole cars or just parts. Some cars he wants to sell whole and not part out.

    His prices aren't necessarily "cheap" but they are reasonable.

    I believe it was a 47-53. I don't recall seeing any of the 40-46 trucks there. I'm not saying there aren't any though, because I most likely didn't see everything.

    283John, yeah! And I always thought the back was inspired by the '50s horror flick, "The Deadly Mantis" ! LOL
     
  24. Denise needs to jump on that Olds wagon. It's just what she needs to haul her go cart to shows.
    That twin carb Buick manifold should be saved. It was a actory option in only '41 and neat impossible to find.

    I actually asked him about that intake, he told me he had a Convertible that his dad bought new (or grandfather). He wanted to look and see if he had any other intakes around before he would let that one go...

    They had the 3 GM early 50's wagons, Olds Pontiac & Chev all with the same body, just different dash and front ends. I love those early 50's Olds wagons. Brian

    Maybe I'm spoiled by what's available here, but I wasn't impressed by much in the pics. Some of the tri five stuff looked ok, but otherwise.....

    Great pictures, WV is very hard on vehicles in the open, still allot of "Savable" tin. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
