2000 cars pushed off a cliff in '64.

This happened in 1964. Kinda makes you wonder what gems are buried in that pile!

In a way it's sad. In another way it's art

 

Fucking leftist tree huggers. This is coming from a guy who lives in a straw bale house and build hotrods, the original form of recycling.

 

My grandparents Ford customline is probably in there.....hmmm. Looks like I'm going home.

 

I always get somewhat amused when NON car people write newspaper articles... "muffler pipes"???

We could have saved them a ton of money! They could have just posted an ad on one of the other sites for "FREE RAT RODS. Your choice, you pick up..."

 

I really doubt that any thing that got crushed by falling debris, dumped over a cliff, and had tons of other junk dumped on top of it would really be worth trying to put back together...even for a "Rat Rod"...

 

I lived in Anchorage in the 1990's and this site was well known. The Alaskan winter was hard on this stuff. What really wasn't said was that this was also a snow dump site. All the snow collected from the streets was dumped over the cliff, with the snow came everything else that is scooped up from the street. Anchorage uses a 20/70 salt/sand solution for the roads all winter. Some areas use a Urea Snow melt solution. So once these cars were dumped, they were subjected to a corrosive bath several times a year. Was just allot of twisted rusty metal when I saw it.

 

they need to just call my local scrap guy hey would have that place cleaned up real quick.
