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

found in Maricopa Arizona. in a yard just over the tracks.

 

I snapped these pics at a "I buy cars, running or not" yard on the western most edge of Chickasha, OK.



gotta wonder how the hell a late 1950s ROLLS ROYCE!!! got to this condition!!!



this '63 Valiant Signet ragtop looked pretty decent body-wise but got no clue as to the floor condition. it's a /6. hell, the small bolt pattern Cragars oughta be worth a buck or two to a Dart/Valiant guy.

 

Found these today...did a story thread on the Merc.

 

Here's a well hidden old wrecking yard I found, tons of cars

I would be interested in knowing where this is and if any of the cars are for sale. Have more pics?

 

My girlfriend snapped these when we made a visit to Desert Valley Auto Parts in Casa Grande, Az (They have 2 locations)...

She's got a good eye for a good pic

 

There was a place called Jake's Antiques, located in Chepachet RI, the next town from where I live now. I had been diving by this place for 30 or more years, and everyone I know would stop and try to buy the vehicles in back of the place. Old Jake would never sell any.

Well Jake died, and the place shut down about 10 years ago. I stopped by and took a walk around the place after it had closed down, and snapped a bunch of pics,....and 2 weeks later, the cars were gone. The building, full of antiques, still sits there,...probably in probate court, or something. I always wondered if any cars were "inside" the place.

 

I know I have posted this one here before, but just made the deal to save this one yesterday. Need to inventory what is there and start hunting for parts.

 

thank you so much for sharing these pick!!!!!! I used to go there a lot looking at everything and be a pest! lol But I never took any pics. what a thrill to see that place again. I want that yellow 38 ford coupe so much! anybody know where it all went? thanks again, Jared

 

Thank you so much for sharing these pics!!!!!!!! I loved that place!!

So what's the story on those? Some interesting stuff there.

 

...where are the Lambrecht auction pics?

 

The owner pass away couple months ago ,was impossible to buy anything from him. they will be auction off soon.

I'm sure the moist dirt floors were not kind to the floors of these cars.
A shame but nowhere near as bad as to what happened to all the Lambrecht cars.

 

^^^ lets just stack this worthless wood, chairs and sheet metal on top of my cars...sometimes people can really be stupid.

 

Only sometimes?!?

 

Kindly forgive me if these should not be posted - they're from a current Craigslist ad for a junkyard in Illinois:

 

That's a 50/51 Dodge Diplomat Hardtop. They aren't terribly valuable, but they are rarely seen.

 

Stumbled across last week.

 

Just some things I found this weekend.

Wow so all of these were going to go to scrap? Scrappers must not see any value in anything.

 

Now that's depressing...

 

Yes it is! I may have to knock on the door to see if they ever plan to do anything with it.

They're going to fix it up ..........k

 

This wasn't in bad shape until they pushed it into the pile with the loader and crushed the passenger side in.
