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?!


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!

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

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

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.
