    This should be my last list I dont want to take up to much space. I am going back in a few weeks to talk with the old man about the price on all of the cars. He does have titles for most of the cars. We just have to sort through them and match them up with the cars. I any of you like a certain car let me know I will try and take more pics of it. I know he doesnt want much for most of them. One of the ones I am picking up is a 60 pontiac catalina 2 door for only 500.00.

    Just a quick list of some of the cars I was able to get pics of.

    6 Chevy pick ups 5 were 3 windows 1 5 window,
    1 thunderbird
    1 Dodge 4 door
    2 cadi 1 2 door 1 4 door
    3 50 ford shoeboxs all 3 2 door and custom coupes
    1 chevy one ton
    1 dodge 4 door
    1 buick 4 door
    1 ford custom wagon
    1 stude pick up
    a couple of old gas pumps
    1 pontiac catalina
    1 chevy 4 door

    There was a lot more cars I could not see because of the brush bing so high and the snakes are really bad in this area, I and killed one cotton mouth by the time I was getting into the search so i called it off for a couple of weeks until the temp drops a little and I can go back with my machette to cut my way back.

    I dont know if they want to part out any of the cars. But I don't know for certain. There are 3 fuel pumps that I saw and have pics of, but there may be more, I also want them but I dont need all 3. I also have a few more pics of the T-bird. There are alot of cars I didnt take pics of because I didnt think they would go well here. Like a 340 Duster, challenger, 73 Charger, I think its a 66 Impala S/W 327 car, and I think 62 impala 4 door. Plus I was not able to take pics of his original 57 t-bird with continental pakage, and 65 mustang 289 hi-po with hurst 4 spd.

  16. DIBS ON THE 57 CADDY !:D

    naw, seriously......
    Jonney, I'd pay stupid money for the rocker and quarter panel mouldings on that Caddy if they're nice :cool:
    Might have to just buy the whole thing if it's priced fair.
    Keep that in mind next trip out there :)

    I would love to go walk a old tin lot like that. I live in Smithfield NC. I'm 28 and want to start some kind of traditional project soon. I would like to check some yards out if you guys would take me or tell me where.

    I have heard out that yard. I have the guys number around here some where. I called him about a 67 Coronet 500 he has, but he wanted way to much for a car that was just a shell and serverly rusted. I am still not very good on explaining where everything is out here, thats pretty bad since I have lived here for two years now, both times I follow the grand daughter out to thier house to look at the cars. I will get some better all around pics of the caddy, like I said before I really dont think they want to sell parts off of the cars, but I will ask then once I get in touch with them again. There was piles of parts, wheels, hub caps, baby moons all over the place. I will take more pics next time. as for the gas pumps I wanted one, and I found 3 but didnt look very hard around where they were there is probaly more. Any more questions or want better pics let me know I will probaly go back out in a couple weeks.
