If I remember correctly, the only 2 dr Comet I saw was the one posted above, I believe it was a '61. It needed a driver side door and a passenger side ender, but it seems like the rest of the body was dent and rust free. I will leave that project to you, Chevloray. HAHA. THere were a few other Comets there, such as the 1960 model which had a "cat eye" tail light, similar to the 59 Chevy, but smaller. Did anyone know (or care) that the '60 Comet was originally an Edsel, but when Edsel went under, the Comet was doing well, so they made it a Mercury? FYI

Some really sweet iron there, and even the 4-doors are cool. I have three kids, my days of single man cruizing a 2dr or worse yet my 70 Camaro that only seats 2 and 2 midgets in the back are gone. That 59 wagon would be wicked! Are those square backed cars Rambler americans or 64-5 Chevelles? I am embarassed to ask since I should know but a pict and so much stuff missing I can't be sure?? No 67 chevelles there huh?? I'd drive for one if there is?!

Re: Everyone loves the "My trip to the salvage yard" stories.
 

Those are ramblers. There were hardly any Chevelles of any yr., even 4 drs! No 67's, just the one wrecked 66.
and a rusted out 71 or 72 2 dr, and no El Caminos at all!

Save 'em all!!!

I forgot to mention, but I have more pics showing cars like the ones in the third pic above that are buried up to the door handles. In the picture, you can see in the background that there is a plowed field with a hill behind them. My theory is that when it rains, a lot of this dirt gets washed down the hill. There are about 10 cars that are serving as erosion control. It looks like Mike's cars are doing his neighbor a favor. Obviously the field needs to be terraced to control this better. The "erosion control" cars will not last very long like this... I will post a few more as time allows... Have you fellas had enough yet?

Re: Everyone loves the "My trip to the salvage yard" stories.
 

i have seen quite a few vehicles sunk down to the frame or to where i have to kick away some dirt to open the doors, but to the door handles? that is really tough on cars. but i bet some of those burried parts are still plenty salvagale

Re: Everyone loves the "My trip to the salvage yard" stories.
 

Keep the pics coming! It would be cool just to walk around there one day and take pics. I would probably take a few souveniors to.
