Junkyarding
 

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:

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

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

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

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.

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

the one on the truck is the one I was thinking about. ;):metal:

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

Will they sell complete cars?

Re: Junkyarding
 

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.

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

Flat Nose Chevy Vans... This Orange one isn't one, is it?
http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/k...k/100_4049.jpg



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.

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

Thats a Ford, but thanks for pointing it out.

Re: Junkyarding
 

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!

Re: Junkyarding
 

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

Re: Junkyarding
 

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.

Re: Junkyarding
 

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