Suprisingly, most of the cars were not wrecked, but were missing the drivetrain. Makes you wonder how they ended up there. I guess the engine/ trans went out if they were not wrecked. Back in the early 80's my brothers and I bought several non SS SB 350 powered Chevy Camaros, Chevelles and El Caminos that had nothing wrong other than the factory installed plastic timing gear stripped and the engine jumped time. We installed a new timing set, sometimes a healthier cam, droped the pan to clean the plastic out of the oil pump pick up and had a good running car for cheap!
