Massive Oregon Car Collection

[Fabrux]

One of my favourite YouTubers, Jeff Bradshaw over at Elderly Iron, has uploaded a video of a massive car collection he's been tasked with liquidating. Over 390 cars spanning decades, the mind boggles!

I saw that. There's a few in there I wouldn't mind having.

Car collection? It's a junk yard. An interesting junk yard. But, still a junk yard. Don't get me wrong I love junk yards, and can have a lot of fun in one. It would be fun to explore this one. But, when I think of car collection. I think of something else.

I kind of agree.

Every junkyard in the country looked like this not too many years ago.

Granted, a lot of these old cars have been crushed over the years, but there are still yards like this around.

If they have been sitting for 10 years, as he says they have, chances are the bottoms are rusted so badly they may not be worth saving except for parts.  I never could understand why people keep cars like that, just lying in a field or barn, open to the elements, rotting away.  'Yup, I'm gonna restore that one day'...yup, never

Yeah - I didn’t watch the whole video - did he say where in Oregon? West parts see a lot of metal rotting moisture...

The whole “I’m gonna get to it someday” thing is weird - especially at this scale. I guess I have the same problem in plastic - at least mine won’t rot and, if offered, I’d probably sell anything.

You guys don't visit the HAMB very often or live on the east coast many of the cars in that collection are very much restoreable  

I see at least 100 cars that could be restored  or hotrodded  in the first 3 min of the video

all it takes is a little ambition

They don't have to be 100 point Peeble beach restorations !!

Jeff lives in Selma, which is south west Oregon. I imagine the collection is near there somewhere. 

As someone from the east coast all of those vehicles are restorable treasures! Also I imagine all the 20s-40s Ford stuff will find it's way to many hot rod builds.
