Event Coverage Walk through the junkyard yesterday

stopped at Goose lake auto parts yesterday and thought I may as well post some shots of the old cars there.

This corvair van is something that I junked back in the eighties. I bought it at the mpls police impound auction for 40 bucks

 

This wagon was an Nhra record holder. Was called 2 quarts a day and was owned and driven by Lee Sprague

 

When I first started going to goose lake back in the 70’s this Mopar had a wonderful glittery blue metal flake paint job. It almost all gone now. I busted a hunk off to you could see it

 

Wheel cover storage

 

This is all that’s left of a Safari wagon that had been there for decades

 

Those Kaiser(?) front fenders beside the big Mopar would be great on a shoe box...

 

well.... one would hahaha.....

 

Frazer vagabond... pretty close to the same thing though

 

I keep looking at the Imperial and all the trim and bumpers... so much could be used on a trad Custom.

 

The pics that I posted are bout all the really old cars left there, but there are piles of them from the 70's and 80's and also school busses full of parts from 50's and 60's cars also racks of steel wheels and bumpers that were removed from cars back in the 70's and 80's....

 

What a great way to clear your head, nothing but visual beauty and solitude.
Best time to go to a yard is early spring or late fall.(around here)
A bunch of friends are planning a weekend camping trip this fall to a Northern yard, now private, closed in the early 70's....
A good time to go, no Hornets, Wasps, Ticks, Deer or Horse flies.
Ya know,.. Satan's Air Force.
What could go wrong?

Great Post Mark.
