I know of a Junkyard in York, PA that bought a old abandoned junk yard about 6 years ago and now township wants the old junkyard gone and cleaned up. All these cars/trucks will be crushed starting the 1st week of March. I walked the yard myself twice. Most of the cars are from mid 1940's thru 1979. From what I have seen the cars are complete. All makes and models are in the junkyard. He built a garage and has 1 or 2 guys working there dis***embling cars and trucks what ever you want. They have the heavy equipment there to pick up and put the cars/trucks you want on your trailer or rollback. I talked to him a few weeks ago and he is now trying to sell the cars just as s**** weight to try and save as many as he can. The prices were pretty high back a few years ago but now time has run out on him. The name of the junk yard is Baughmans Auto Parts. Phone# is (717) 846-3944 Mon-Sat. I imagine it will take about 2 months to crush everything once the crushing starts. He will save any cars you want if you come and spray paint your initials on them and put down payment on cars you want as he has told me. I plan on getting a few but can't save them all. Hope a lot of people come to the rescue of these old cars. You can google earth map the address and look at the cars thru sattelite imagery and see them in the woods. Wizard
Dont waste your time. Its not organized at all and unfortunately its in the woods so tree acid has eaten everything up badly. The yard had a contract with the city for years, collecting abandoned cars. Its a shame, about 15 year or more back im sure you could have found some good bits still.. The owners of the yard seemed miffed that the word had gotten out about this property. Apparently, they get a slew of calls and no one bites and actually comes out. They are crushing the entire yard. If you want, i've got some pics i can post.. -TJ
Just heard last night already about 70% crushed out. Window of opportunity seems ready to close very soon.
