old junkyard colchester ct redux

to the folks that followed the previous thread,i am sorry to report that someone requested that it be closed...probably will be deleted by looks of things...if you happen to find this thread, i will continue to answer what i can either in open forum or with a PM...we need to get this iron back into the restoration loop...to all...have a most joyous holiday...thanks..TONY and Co.

 

Thanks....you too...just doin' my part to keep this subject alive

 

Hey Bert,
Good to see you opened a new thread I just noticed the other was closed. Do you know if you have any 50 Buick's in the yard? Merry Christmas Bud!
Chuck

 

very few if any 50's vintage buicks...there was a 59 or 60 that went this spring...may be some later 60's stuff...really never paid a lot of attention to the buicks...i am more truck and MEL or FOMOCO...i will pay closer attention...happy holiday...

 

Any Model A or T stuff?

 

any 55-56 olds stuff?............john

 

we just bo't out a wharehouse of NORS parts...mostly foreign...BUT!!! there is a 55/57 lincoln MKII engine on a stand...looks like it was for a rod of some sort..has PS pump,alt,fan,haystack 4bbl.finned alum LINCLON valve covers,correct side dump exhaust manifolds..it is a 368 CI engine by the casting numbers....very complete.....it is available to purchase...i will have it in my personal garage by weeksend.. have a good new year....

 

Is that a Tote Gote in your avatar? It kind of looks like one.

 

Just got back from taking a tour with Tony. Anyone it the area looking for old parts should get in touch with him. I saw quite a bit of unique stuff that needs to be saved and he really seems like a good guy. It was like going back in time. Thanks again Tony, Jeff

 

same here, very cool place to see. lots of great stuff there thanks again burt.....................john

 

on sun past i met with some folks from this thread and let them have a look at the kingdom...met some very decent people who share the same ideal's as myself...look don't touch,do no harm, leave as found..to the few who decided to sneek away while i was assisting others with specific items,you really pissed me off...you went into area's off limits,moved and disrupted things (easy to see..you left fresh footprints in the snow)...just had no regard in my opinion...but i guess the final slap was when you walked by me and your pockets were heavy with items...certainly not gloves or a hat...you taught me a valuable lesson...if i don't know,i don't trust you...you pretty much have put a damper on further tours...the gentlemen who have given me there wish list are welcome back at any time...those who just came to look...lots of luck...you know of who i speak...the next tour will be considerably smaller and very supervised..it's a shame that a few have to ruin it for the true lovers of vintage iron...i will still answer questions as best i can...i want the true auto affecinatos to get there projects done with whatever i can do to help..to the less than honorable, i guess i already said it...thanks...hope your off to a great start in the new year...stay tuned for the next tour...maybe 3 or 4 weeks out...depending on weather...

 

we were there for one of the first tours and it was a lot of fun so THANKs MUCH Bert!!!! Even if you're just looking for parts it's definately worth talking with Bert to go see what's there. There is a lot of unique and interesting trucks, cars, even a tractor or two in the yard so there's something in there for everyone. We only came away with some knick knacks and parts but thats what we were gaming for and we didn't leave empty handed so thats always good, right??!!. Best of luck to all who venture in with Bert and i hope some of the cars will find some new homes!

 

bert sounds like good people its to bad some one took stuff they shouldnt always a rotten apple in the barrel , id like to make it down for a walk about some time , schedules to busy now , id like to say thanks for helping the hobby out bert

 

wow stealing right in front of the guy! i think you should post who it is ,what a scumbag, the guy comes on and offers to open the place up to people, all he ask's is you abide by some rules, but no--- you only thinking of you cant follow the rules which could f..k it up for everyone else on here who is looking for projects,parts this is why places like this become off limits yards like this are getting fewer and fewer -show the guy some respect for his yard and time !

 

Man thats SUCKS Hope they werent' hambers

 

how do you get a hole of bert i will be down in montiville in march or sooner thought i new all the yards around there use to hang out at mike marvin garage back in the 70s and tony scowinsky please let me know how to get a hold of bert thank you

 

Man,
that really sucks that someone would steal. I agree... the person should be named.
A mans word is one of the most valuable things in life... if not everything.

If you decide to do another tour, (can't blame you if you didn't after this) I would like to be included. I am local.

 

i am not sure of his hamber handle...just know what they originally asked to see..won't post anything about these folks...but,i will know better next time...if they shows for a tour,they'll be tossed... i hope there is other hambers around at that time...they can give a heads up to all the honorable folks...i just won't accuse in an open forum...slander, liable etc.....should have made them empty there pockets...oh well...while i'm here,i'd like to enlist help in I.D.ing a lincoln engine...i know it's a MKII.not sure where to find engine numbers..contact me for details and pics...thanks again to ALL the honorable folks who took the tour...

 

that sucks. i hope that you have better luck in your future tours. As we continue working on and dismantling our plymouth; i'm sure we'll be in touch about more parts Thanks again Bert!

 

Hey Bert, Sorry to hear about these undesirables pulling that shit. If its cool with you, when you do your next tour Spgill2000 and myself would like to walk with you thru the yard and would greatly appreciate the history lesson you can give us!

Hey Bert, thanks for the tour this sunday. It was great to see the yard, and did you ever find anyone in the yard after we left? my buddy and i where the ones who where last to leave the yard.

 

hooray for melting snow...now on to the MUD!

 

weekend after easter we are looking at a LIMITED tour....don't know if it is sat or sun....by invite only....don't just show up....you must confirm with me....be on a list....first come,first served......if you are not on the list and just show up,you wasted a trip....there is is high probability that Tony will be there so in can introduce the select few to him...

 

This is starting to smell like spam.

 

Not spam......after being ripped off and bullshitted by a few unsavory characters. Tony and company will only allow people in the yard that come recommended. There are very few yards like this left in the North East and well worth the visit...

 

Hey Bert!
Myself and and Spgill here on the board would love to come if you will have us?
Chuck

 

I heard Elton John was invited......no....wait....that was to the next Royal Wedding......my bad

 

Hey guys, this is his property and his cars. He has evey right to invite or no invite anyone he wants onto his property.

East Coast is too far for me, I missed the first thread but this sounds like a very interesting place to spend the day.

 

good luck to everyone, its fun to tour! Bert; we might be looking for a few knick knacks for our current project. I'll be keeping in touch if we need to come take a look at those two plymouths if its OK with you.

 

You should read the entire thread before posting.....
