I'm a sucker for these posts. Here's one from autoshopcrusader from the 'Ol Skool forum today, reproduced in all it's glory. Call me a softie - the pictures and story moved me.

Here's more of the dude's pictures:

"ok, well the other day i find myself in my local junkyard and the man has gone crazy. he is crushing, not just the 83 civic and the like, but iron...good old california rust free iron!. the guy would rather get 50 bucks a piece for a crushed car now, than get a computer or a cell phone and be able to sell it.. here are some pictures, pm me imediately if you are interested in any of this, the guy is willing to sell allot of this pretty cheap too. im out in mammoth lakes CA, 93546.





nice 5 window dodge with 6 cyl and trans!





not much is left of this elco, just allot of good sheetmetel



all thats left of that chev is the deck lid and what you see



need a hood?








this is on a dually chassis but the body is great to put on anything else



this is all there, please someone get this i would cry if it was crushed





the stude is also on a dually chassis





perfect ford gauges out of a c.o.e. this truck also has the y-block in it (looks new)



need a camaro front clip?





there are two of these out there

and now the sad part,
this was full of cars, you could barely walk through here when it was full





the fate of most the cars you just saw if action isn't taken



the demonic machine itself

i hope these pictures wake some people up and we can save some of these cars!"

that Green truck is very straight, someone needs to grab that, easy project there..... Damn I drove through there 5 years ago and didn't see a thing !!

Is that old red Jimmy a Napco 4wd? Or is it a homegrown hillbilly hillclimber. Maybe just has no engine.

...it is indeed a sad day...wish I was closer.

[Abomination]

Hell, I wish was closer, too. I've been looking for a cheap 40s Ford cab!

[brown n down]

that is horrible, that stude cab looks like it would be a sweet starting point

[Horsepower67]

Only 50.00 a car? That just adds insult to injury.
Then again, maybe it won't take much more than that to drag some steel away.

Seeing as how my part of the world is a tad on the frozen, white scale of things at the moment, where are these pictures taken? It looks like it could be the the moon (dark side).

[B-Man]

All the good stuff is always too far away. Those look brand new compared to the stuff down here.

[Silhouettes 57]

A few years ago near King City, California a guy had about 100 old cars sitting way out in the country way out of sight. The county flew over and spotted them then notified him that the cars all needed to be crushed because they were an eye sore and a blite on the county. The word got out and car guys were coming from all over and buying full and complete cars for $100 buck each. California??? my home state!

[Abomination]

It says in the original post - mammoth lakes CA, 93546.

I'm just the messenger, here.
