Just bought 18 cars from a junkyard!

You don't have to extract any of the cars. For a $200 per car flat fee, they're hauling them all out, and will load 'em onto your trailer, which is OK considering the work involved!

 

Hello
i have been there and bought the 48 Ford conv. It's a rusted out piece of junk, but i am thinking about a chopped custom. Will pick up the car in the next few days. Some cars were really too far gone....but some were really interesting, as the 71 yellow Duster near my Ford. Here are some pics.

 

Good job!

 

There is a yard like this in Belgium with a lot of American cars, but the condition of the cars is a lot worse than this

 

Chryslers were build in Rotterdam in Holland / The Netherlands too.
In this factory they also build Kaiser Frazers in the late 40's and 50's and later it was used to build Nekaf Jeeps until the early sixties.

(Nekaf = Nederlandse Kaiser Fabriek or in English "Dutch Kaiser Factory")

 

nice save!

 

That's the way we do 'em, buy a bunch and clean a place out. Fury would have been a good piece. And around here a convertible is only a rusted out piece of junk if it actually is broken completely in half in the middle, anything better than that is restorable. I imagine that Ford would look tons better cleaned up, put on some roller tires and the fenders roughed out a little.

 

Good to see 500 saved. Its great for people to save but when you have so many, if the guy would have just sold off a couple now and then He would have been better off and got more money. I dig the Topolinos

 

It was impossible to move a car without moving dozens other cars. They were crammed in a place with trees and was impossible to take out a car. Only with an helicopter....
Now that everything has been sold, cars can be moved.

 

I'll double your money on the Fiat if you include shipping! (hehehe)

Great score!

 

Congrats... Awsome score

 

Deuce was a V8 too!
Cool old yard and congrats on your saves!!!

 

wow! interesting mix for Europe! great score.

 

Some of the stuff is unbelievable! Ferrari 250 GTE bits, a Tatra and a Mercedes 190 SL?!?! It's just incredible seeing stuff like that in a junkyard! And that VW Beutler Bus is both replusive and alluring at the same time!

 

The Ford convertible is restorable because EVERYTHING is available. I was bidding on it too, but you obviously wanted it more. Build it stock like the one in Back to the Future. They're really nice cars and worth big money restored.
We bought that Duster behind it.

There were three Porsche 356 in solid restorable condition too. About a dozen split screen bugs and loads of Mercedes 170's too. The Ferrari 250 only went for about $3000 which was cheap I thought, even though it wasn't anywhere near complete.

Really nice Duster, curoius yellow if I am not wrong. Was a 340? Definetely restorable.
As for the 48 Ford, I already started buying parts for her.....

 

That's great news. Good for you.

 

Might be able to turn that old Fiat into $200.00 cash! Delivered that is! Let me know where to send the check! Oh and wait till the beginning of next month to deposit it please.

 

Believe I would have had to take the Plymouth Fury and early Fords. I like the 68 Cougars! That's what I'm working on right now, it was my first car.

 

See just tell the do gooders you are being green and saving all the awesome iron from going into a land fill .

 

Good save and I'm glad you have things to do now.
Sitting around watching daytime TV isnt what its cracked up to be.

 

Never had a TV. Wouldn't know what to do with it.

 

Here's some more pictures of the 67 Camaro we bought.

Looked very restorable anyway.

 

Save them while you can, great score!

 

What exactly is your definition of "big"??

 

Maybe HAMB is the worlds largest recycler?! Great purchase and effort. 5 '67 Cougars in one yard is amazing is the U.S. let alone in your part of the world. tnrotter

 

That Fury is a '58, very desirable. I would think someone bought it to restore it? Also, any pics of this $3K Ferrari? I'd love to see what it looked like if that's all it sold for.

Amazing pics, thanks for sharing.

 

Tomorrow morning will be there to pick up my 48 Ford conv. Already found most parts for her here on the HAMB.
