Turkish Delights (scrapyard-ish content) Holiday snaps.
Just a bunch of holiday pics I took last month in Turkey.
We had two weeks there, and did all sorts of activities, one day was a safari and I spotted a yard with a load of wrecks in it. At the end of another days trip the guide did a detour for me, and we managed to pay the 75p entry fee to go walk about the yard. Saw a few Chevy C10 trucks from the 60-66 model year. I also took a load of random pics of "stuff" Interestingly, the tour company was called........    MOT ?? Nope....... perfectly functional transport.                          Can you say patina? RatRod?         And one for my mate Martin who would love a GMC grille on his truck.      So thats the lot.

Re: Turkish Delights (scrapyard-ish content) Holiday snaps.
Just a quick reply to some comments.
The guy who owns the yard buys up, restores and sells the stuff you see. He apparently collects whatever he can finf accross Turkey and seeing three 60-66 Chevy C10's and a GMC of the same vintage was a huge kick for me as I have a 66 too. I did try to buy one number plate off the pink one for my collection but it was a distinct NO. I had also hoped to find a couple of dash blanking plates inside them but no luck. Fortunately A friend found both I needed in a yard in Florida USA two weeks later. Seems he is quite pricey according to our tour guide but remember that is vs Turkish incone. There is a large ex-military airport about 30 minutes away at Dalaman that is now civilian. So it may have some bearing on the content of the yard. As is always the case, language and culture are the main barriers but I suspect everything is for sale.

Re: Turkish Delights (scrapyard-ish content) Holiday snaps.
Very interesting Rian! I honestly had no clue that 60-66 trucks made it around the world like that other than imported...I guess I am that naive!
Thank you for sharing!
