Went to a Junkyard

Re: Went to a Junkyard

Looks like an interesting place. I sure do miss Junkyards like that. They're sure not as many around as there used to be.

Re: Went to a Junkyard

could use some parts off that 60...

i love walking around junkyards, imagining what happened to some of the vehicles.

Re: Went to a Junkyard

Great pictures, thanks.

Re: Went to a Junkyard

neat photo(s) ....

what else did they have at the yard .... ????

Re: Went to a Junkyard

Where is it and what is the name of it....I see you are in ohio....im on the border of pa and ohio. Looks like some stuff I could use in those pics.....

Re: Went to a Junkyard

I could spend my whole day in a place like that.

Re: Went to a Junkyard

I love visiting places like that. Found a couple up in Northern Maine when I was stationed up at Loring AFB (back when it used to exist) and also found some in Merced CA years ago. Haven't been back to either location.

Re: Went to a Junkyard

I have no clue the name of the junkyard. its about 20min south of columbus.

ive been there 3-4 times and love going there to wander around. never bought anything yet. but the guys there dont seem to liek selling anything either

Re: Went to a Junkyard

If you ever go again, could you snap more photos of this truck, any more info on it would be great as well. Thanks for the pics, very cool indeed.

Re: Went to a Junkyard

Please post name of the yard, I need the fenders off the Red C50.
Ill drive from Florida to get those fenders

Re: Went to a Junkyard

I almost asked you about the cars!

Interesting collection.

That yard sure has been collecting cars for a long, long time.

I could use the '67 Impala (next to the blue '71) and that '57 4-Dr HT.

Very cool. I recently went to a well organized (by makes and years) yard in Vancouver Washington. While walking the hour and half to complete the tour I wondered how hard it would be to decide which relic to resurrect. Trying to focus on trucks was not easy, the cars were so cool and have so much potential. I don't have pics or a name but the place amazing! :chevy:

Re: Went to a Junkyard

some nice assortment of vintage tin in that yard ....

some can be saved but most is just scrap and used as part(s) cars ( if they were not robbed of their parts yet )

and i love seeing photo(s) like these, its like they froze in time in not moving in years

Re: Went to a Junkyard

There's a place about 20 miles from me that looks like that. Except the owner's a third generation Mopar fan, so 90% of what he's got is Mopar. But, it takes you all day to see everything he has. From the early 30's and up. I'm guessing C10 - C90 Bill know's who I'm talking about.

I could be wrong, that happened once before, but that looks to be a late 60's dodge D500 or D600. There is one at the local yard here I have been eyeballing for a while. Used to be a firetruck but the box is long gone so it is just a chassis cab now. One day funds might allow me to purchase and make it the ultimate towing/sand dune rig with a huge flatbed and a cummins.........

No. Newton's in Cloverdale

Re: Went to a Junkyard

OK, I've been there once or twice, but it's been a good while now.

Have you ever been to Whitlow's on the mountain?

Re: Went to a Junkyard

Never been there. They got old stuff there?
Google earth looks like there's lots of stuff there.

Re: Went to a Junkyard

Def not my favorite vehicle there but what is this car? It looks like a Mazda or datsun but i haven't seen one like it before.
