ra7c7er Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Really cool. It's hard to find junk yards like that now-a-days.
whale392 Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 The 85-86 Mustang, the 68-69 Dodge truck, and the 61 Plymouth Fury are very interesting to me (too bad they are beyond saving!).
my name is nobody Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 pretty cool. there is an old wrecking yard just north of my place. the guy who owns it had the wrecking business in this region for about forty years. you should see some of the cars out in that yard. of course, the old cars here dont have near the rust of the ones in your photographs.
Rob Hall Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Interesting...rust never sleeps. That gray Mustang LX reminds me of the '86 I had in college (except mine was shiny w/o red trim).
jeffb Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 this yard is in rustigain? keep an eye open for a val/dart wagon..
Joe Handley Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Huh, I wonder which rail road used the Chevy High Rail............
Chuck Most Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 Not sure- that truck sat out in front of a locksmith shop on M-57 for YEARS. Wondered where it went, then stumbled across it that day at the yard.
Joe Handley Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Looks like it may have been bought from the road or leasing company that originally owned it then repainted and had the piss beat out of it
promo55 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I think that Chevy Hi Rail was used by Burlington-Northern railroad. That is their colors and it looked like their emblem that had been on the doors. The truck is a 1980 model. Neat stuff. I love junkyards and consider them amusement parks for adults!
Casey Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Light blue must've been a popular color for Studebaker Champs.
Chuck Most Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 Seems that way, same story for the Larks.Seems that way, same story for the Larks.
Casey Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 i wonder whatever happened to (if they still exist) SJS Details' Champ pickup molds? That would be one body I'd like to see again.
horsepower Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Boy, you can be sure that this yard isn't in our lovely state of California, even if it wasn't a yard, & was on private property, the EPA would be all over it, & the CHP would show up & want to see paperwork for each & every car there. They spot these private stash deals from the air, & send in an officer to investigate, gotta love it, aint beaurocracy sweet?
Rick Schmidt Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Dang I wanna move someplace where Ford Unibodys are so plentiful ya just toss em away
imatt88 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Del, For real? Why would they bother? The vehicles aren't hurting anything...
imatt88 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Oh yeah, now for the reason I originally came here..... I LOVE JUNKYARDS!!
Mr. Moparman Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Why do I get the feeling that this is where LEE1 was found.....
rmvw guy Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 These are definately "In The Weeds", and some good samples for future builds. Thanks for sharing.
Dr. Cranky Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Chuck, you most definitely have an "eye" for RUST. BLESS YOU! Keep 'em coming!
mikemodeler Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Chuck- i have seen some of your posts of your personal collection of old 1:1 vehicles and I am confused. Is that a junkyard or your backyard? Nice pictures and a shame that some great pieces of car history have been left to rot in the countryside.
