Mariposa car crushing? Any Hambers up there?

[RatBone]

My buddies uncle lives up there and told us that a guy with lots of acres below Yosemite died and he had a 3 generations old junk yard with 1000's of cars from T's to the 60's. Anyway he said the only known relative of this guy is a sister from the midwest who is crushing everything. He said he saw truck after truck with crushed cars going through town. Has anyone heard of this? I guess she has no clue what the stuff is worth. There is also about 30 sheds of car related toys. He said they had a crusher on site, I dont know if any are left but what a shame.

Im trying to get a hold of his uncle to get a name or contact info if I hear anything more I'll post it here.

Has anyone else heard of this?

thats crazy there are a bunch of car guys there ??

I have it on good authority that this is true. A friend of mine that I worked with and who grew up there knew the old timer, and has confirmed for me this morning that this is not a rumor. So get up there and save stuff if you can, for the sake of all of us.

I hope she...she deserves to...I can't think of a single nice thing to say, so I won't say anything.

This is for real. The old guy died.
The county wants all those cars and parts destroyed.
You have to see this place to believe it.
It is located on Hwy 49.

GOOD NEWS!!!!! I just got off the phone with Windy she is the daughter of the past owner of AG Persons Auto Wrecking She said yes she has been crushing cars but just “junk 70’s cars” It sounds like she is trying to do what’s right and sell the good stuff….... She said there are cars and parts form the late 20’s on up she dose not know much about the details of what’s out there so make an appointment and go see……….

Cool!! Thanks evil1, for working to preserve our hobby!! I owe you a beer/soda when I meet you! Let us know, my bro-in-law has been looking for a good 50's car project (We have corrupted him.... muhahahaha!!), and I always keep an eye for my Dad, nice to find him a '56 Bel Air 2 door project (like he had when he was a kid) for when he retires!

She deserves to be in one of those junk '70s cars when it gets crushed. As do the county bureaucrats pushing for this.

I wonder what those junk 70 were?

[BIGREDTODD]

the place is on 49 below oakhurst, CA. if i am thinking of the same place. worked as a kid at a campground up by bass lake. the place truly is unbelievable. really not a bad drive either, if you bring a trailer, you'll be leaving with a car.

[RatBone]

That is great news! I just pictured 33 and 36 3 windows being lined up and crushed.

I know a couple that live ther on 3/4 acres, I,ll give em a call, they are car buffs.
