One of the things I do for fun is going to the junkyard. i didn't know where to put this, so i figured i would put it here. I visited three yards the other day and this is some of what I found in them:

JimmyFloyd · 06-23-2010, 02:24 PM

And this was anotherr yard near there:

Schwinn68 · 06-23-2010, 02:29 PM

sweet pics! I'd love to have that 69-70 grill. I need to look around here at the old yards to see if I could find anything

JimmyFloyd · 06-23-2010, 02:29 PM

And this was another about 20 minutes from the other two:

Lancia Appia Vignale - Look it up!

This yard just recently crushed almost all of their vintage stuff. The area in the first pictures used to be all old stuff. There was a 66 Impala SS, Cosworth Vega, 64, 65, 65, 69 442's, couple other olds, 67 GS400, old 5 window, and a bunch of 67-72 trucks and a suburban. I have pictures somewhere. Most were beat and rusty, a few could be restored, or a couple could be made into one

The one on the pile was trash. the one on the truck wasn't bad. The 67/68 one was ok, but had a rot spot on the top left, and two holes near the bottom of the face. Most of the sheet metal wasn't good.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-23-2010, 02:32 PM

Nice pics! Looks like there are a lot of good parts still there!

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-23-2010, 02:35 PM

How bad was that 71-2 chevelle in the last yard?

the one on the truck is the one I was thinking about.

JimmyFloyd · 06-23-2010, 02:55 PM

If I recall it was a Drag car, and has a cage in it. I have older pictures of it somewhere I can see if I can dig up

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-23-2010, 03:41 PM

Will they sell complete cars?

JimmyFloyd · 06-23-2010, 03:47 PM

The first and last might, but not 100% sure. I know I have seen a whole 86 442 get sold out of the first, and was told with the old stuff in the second they might sell some of them.

JimmyFloyd · 06-24-2010, 02:55 PM

Went to my local yard today and swung up in their Big Truck Section. Got a ton of pictures. This yard I can go pull parts each week if someone sees something they have to have. I can see it from where I work :-D

There are more uploading. I will update this as they finish...

JimmyFloyd · 06-24-2010, 03:14 PM

Few more:

**ScottH** · 06-24-2010, 04:24 PM

Wow lots of cool pics, thanks for sharing.

BTW if u come across any early "flat nose" chevy vans, please keep me in mind.

Thanks.

Scott

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-24-2010, 04:25 PM

Do you know what the deal is with that Fedex Sprinter? Is it being scrapped too?

JimmyFloyd · 06-24-2010, 04:53 PM

Flat Nose Chevy Vans... This Orange one isn't one, is it?

And yes, the Sprinter is there to pull parts off of. Might be able to get the whole thing, but I doubt it. may have been more than one there as well, can't remember.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-24-2010, 04:57 PM

Do you know if that sprinter said FedEx Express or Fedx Ground on it? Purple and orange or purple and green?

JimmyFloyd · 06-24-2010, 05:02 PM

Haha. Didn't get a picture directly of it, but how's this:

**LEEVON** · 06-24-2010, 08:45 PM

Nice, looks like your yard grows some ditch weed too!

**ScottH** · 06-25-2010, 10:14 AM

Thats a Ford, but thanks for pointing it out.

Frizzle Fry · 06-25-2010, 12:46 PM

Good stuff! I used to go to a yard down the road from my house as a kid. Loved walkin around and imagining all the possibilities. Those Lancia Appia Vignale's are cool!

**michael bustamante** · 06-25-2010, 01:56 PM

that poor 54 under that pile!!!. I love junk yarding, Did you happen to pull any of those cablights on teh c-50`s? I need one of the firefighter hat style ones

JimmyFloyd · 06-25-2010, 03:57 PM

Not yet, but I plan to pull all the good ones. The yellow bucket has a later syle tear drop ones put over the round holes in the roof.

and yes, the 54 made me sad too.

JimmyFloyd · 06-25-2010, 04:23 PM

Ok, here are some of the pictures from the General population at my local yard:

Doors and fenders are gone, hood is there. V8 3 spd on the tree.

454 with auto trans $800

Very Clean Cab for the year

Yes, this went in complete. Pretty sure this is where the 454 came from.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-25-2010, 04:40 PM

Nice pics!
