fun9c1 Posted March 9 Posted March 9 20 "junkyard" cars from ebay. I already had about 20, about 10 of which are from ebay, but about 10 of which I built 35-40 years ago that time has not been kind to. So those 10 have alot of sentimental value to me. Planning a junkyard diorama for the ~40 of them. Love these 20 that just showed up. Worth every penny to me. Most are just built models that time has not been kind to either, but someone did an especially fantastic job on the Ford panel truck to purposely make it rusted and weathered. 2

Love the Riv, I had a '68 GS in nice shape in the mid '90s. Went like a bat out of hell. I am not proud to say I also drove an '81 Citation for a couple years around '90 LOL. A yellow hatchback! I should have probably kept that to myself.... Anyway, good stuff there- I'm jealous!

Yard sales and flea markets , while hit or miss, can be a gold mine as well. 1
