The white c50 was cool, and the blue 68 was to nice to be in the junkyard. The red tow truck was rough, but really cool also

The wheels on that Green '67 look like Jackmans. If they are I think they are pretty hard to find.

The doors on the C-50 will work for a pickup. You just have to weld a piece in the corner where the fender cutout is. A lot of times the doors on those trucks are really nice.

I dont remember what the wheels said on the cap, but you're right about the doors. They were real nice. Very good shape

I met two members also during the trip. Sapper4 in north carolina, and clatterville trolley today in missouri today before I left. We are in west virginia right now.

**jabborabbo** · 03-09-2014, 12:05 AM

Do you have contact info for that place????

tommys72 · 03-09-2014, 12:15 AM

Two different places. Which pic are you talking about?

swamp rat · 03-09-2014, 12:18 AM

I agree, the blue one needs a home!

Great looking place

tommys72 · 03-09-2014, 01:37 AM

Yea it was fun for sure. Walking around a junkyard is one of my favorite past times

19673ontree · 03-09-2014, 08:15 AM

I remember junkyards like that here in the 70s and even early 80s that is some good stuff right there that blue 68 is nice !

tommys72 · 03-09-2014, 09:12 AM

Yes sir it is, to nice to be there

hugger6933 · 03-09-2014, 09:36 AM

The red cowl pic in the second set of pics is that a C50 with air that is what I think I am seeing. If so that is a rare one indeed, not too many of those.

Sammy · 03-09-2014, 11:16 AM

What I hate about Speedway salvage is you just never know one day to next if the same vehicle will be there. Sometimes they let it get picked clean to the bone next time they don't. Plus if you stick a fuse in your pocket or tool bag they will charge you if they catch it.
