Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

that is Steve Jorgensons yard, Everything is for sale, he knows what its worth, but hes very good to deal with.. he has some very cool stuff. His Chevy Collection is very impressive.

 

i like how he has everything laid out in neat rows. thats impressive right there.

 

Around Wichita and El Dorado Kansas, we had 6 really, really good yards! All GONE!! That's progress??

 

you still have Easy Jack's

 

His Dad has a yard full of Chevy convertables about a mile south of Steve.

70 Impala convertible maybe OT but still rotting

 

WOW!! Even the dash has Body Rot!!

 

For those coming to the roundup - there is a place called John's down near Seguin. That is about an hour sout of Austin. I plan on going there next fall when the snakes and heat are more reasonable. Here is a link to some recent photos on my local clubs site. Lots of OT - but plenty of early iron, too:

My dad says some local powerlines were the "free junkyard", back when people had to pay to bring a vehicle to a scrap yard, and before local dumping laws. I still find alot of old "junk" cars on powerlines near these taconite mines.

 

John's sounds like a destination, a day might not be enough?

 

John's is decent, been there many times. In VA you have Leon's though which is far better! Unless that is John takes you to his house a few miles away from the yard where all the better stuff is, then it's comparable to Leon's.

 

I'll play. This old race car been sitting and rotting for decades. Has a lot of local history. The owner will sell but it was always way stupid money. He's cleaning out the yard now and he's tryng hard to get me to buy it, almost priced to where I might go get it, last thing I need but...

early 60's

today

 

been rusting since the late 70's I'd guess, if not longer.

 

Aw man that'll buff out lol!

Might want to save that radio delete before the rest of the car crumbles away...

 

I know where there is a ranchero that could be a perfect addition to this thread. I am going to go ask about it tomorrow

 

ill bring my old tshirt to help

Man, I am having trouble seeing the photos....could you possibly make them a little BIGGER?

 

Such a great post...Two Model AA's were pulled out of the woods in upstate NY. The owner kept one to restore and he was going to strip the other one before I saved it! I have seen too many awesome cars rot away over the years. When I was 16 I asked to buy a '50s Olds and the owner wanted too much money for it, so he let it rot rather than sell it....Maybe I should change my name to Rot.Rod...

 

My buddy sent me these, they were taken a couple of days ago somewhere in Missouri.

'36 Ford



'61 Impala



'57 Chevy

 

I think somethings living under that 57 chevy

 

Salt Lake city used to have a wrecking yard near the lake called King's...or something like that. It was moved before the lake filled up in the mid 80s, but had all sorts of stuff back to the 20s. I remember a 38 ish Lincoln Zephyr, complete with the original v12. Have photos from the 70s somewhere, will post them when I dig them up.

 

6396----supply and demand...

 

Looked at this little Nash Rambler last weekend. Central Texas and other than sun patina the car isn't all that bad for rust. Have contact info

 

Same yard.

 

Man i wish I could find Ramblers like those near me, I could really use some parts.

 

I like those old Nashes. And the Metropolitans.

 

i know where a 67 four door is sitting its half decent looking hasnt been moved in atleast 2 years
