    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 ***les 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.
