Another junkyardin' thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**LEEVON** · 02-21-2009, 09:54 PM

Here's the story...I stopped by this guy's place two years ago and looked around a bit. He mentioned that he had another property and that he'd take me there sometime. I've been by a couple times in the last two years but haven't connected. Well he was home today, so I got to poke around both properties. The second property was so far in the hills I started wondering if I was ever coming back and wishing I had a sidearm

Anyhow, he has about 200 vehicles, mostly trucks and some chevelles, novas and such. This is his personal property and vehicles, not a business. Since I know you guys so well, I asked if he would mind being contacted by outside sources. He does not mind, but does not want to mess with parts, he wants to sell whole vehicles. SO, if you really just need to know where it is, then PM me and I'll give you directions. Beyond that you're on your own.

Sorry for the cell phone pics, I wasn't prepared. Enjoy!

big_al_71 · 02-21-2009, 10:56 PM

thirdstreettito · 02-21-2009, 11:07 PM

Nice yard! I need to buy a bunch of car carriers and go out west and fill em all up with trucks. Who wants to fund me?

**Hart_Rod** · 02-22-2009, 12:20 AM

That would be a fun yard to check out...

72BlckButy · 02-22-2009, 12:23 AM

Your second post (2nd pic)... is that a SWB 63-66?

Great pics LEEVON! Did you walk away with anything?

Andy4639 · 02-22-2009, 12:30 AM

Now those are some nice iron. The ones I took the other day were way past repair but these look like drivers. Man I wish stuff was that nice around here.

sweet70beast · 02-22-2009, 12:42 AM

That white 71 or 72 Pontiac Ventura in the last set of pics is somewhat rare. Not too many of them around, They became alittle more common in 73.

yes, that's a 63-66 shorty. I need to get a closer look at it. I didn't leave with anything today but I'm going back tomorrow for a seat. I am swapping him out plus cash to keep the truck complete.

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-22-2009, 01:30 AM

That 64 Chevelle looks like Grandma's

*Puropedo* · 02-22-2009, 01:43 AM

Wow! I wish I had a bad a$$ experience like that! I dont blame that guy for having 200 + trucks/cars in his property. If god permits I will follow his steps, cant never have enough of bad a$$ rides.

jablack · 02-22-2009, 02:01 AM

I'll take a dozen or so myself..

jott_06 · 02-22-2009, 08:15 AM

I'd love to have that much stuff...Maybe title laws are different there, but in Ohio i think you would need a dealers license to have that many vehicles. I'd hate to figure out which title went to which truck when someone wants to buy one of them.

Funny you mentioned that, I asked him about titles. He says he has some in hand and two relatives working in the title offices (one local and one state). Claimed titles are not a problem. Things that make you go hmmmm....

Did he indicate what the prices would be like for a whole truck?

Had to put him here. Look at my post count! (666)

No but judging by the price on a chevelle I'm trying to buy he's got Barrett Jackson syndrome.

Skirkpat · 02-23-2009, 10:31 AM

Anyone that has that many projects is probably not realistic on pricing, the funny thing about those guys is that they hoard those, thinking one day they will be millionaires, and by the time they become valuable they have sat out in the elements so long they are junk. Then they get mad because nobody will " pay" top dollar........cars usually just sit and rot until they die and their kids sell 'em for scrap. Sad, sad, sad

you hit the nail on the head, he admitted it too.

**michael bustamante** · 02-23-2009, 06:23 PM

there was a guy here in albuquerque that had a GREAT yard! full of old collectables and coe`s and such but that guy wanted top dollar!, Hart Rod, you probably know what guy im talking about, He actually moved his entire collection to the east mountains when he sold his property rather than sell his veh. at a decent cost, Great cars though from what I could see from the street. I would have loved to gone thru his yard.
I wish your yard was closer to me to make on offer on that panal

I know where you are talking about. He does have some really cool stuff. He advertises it as "museum" to keep from having to get it zoned as a business,
