Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Prefect .

 

Flynn's Wrecking Yard, Cooma NSW.
Biggest wrecking yard in the Southern Hemisphere. Apparently.

 

Are they on the National Trust List yet ?

 

The yard is for sale and they do have a Facebook Page.

 

Covington County Alabama

 

Found an old photo of Flynn's

God knows who would buy it, most of the cars are basket cases. Seems the old boy had a penchant for taking the wheels off everything and leaving them sitting on their belly in the dirt.

 

54 Buick.

 

Once those blackberry vines wake up that Buick might as well be wrapped in barbed wire.

 

You ain’t whistling Dixie there brother, I fought through them last year to get the rear end gear and pinion out of this ‘50 Chevrolet. Bled like a stuck hog! Luckily the berries were ripe!

 

Fruithurst Alabama

 

Last Weekend, somewhere..

 

I pulled the "Nashacado" out of vines like that which were so thick I could barely see the car, just them big 'ol taillights. I used my Kleins to cut what I could, and yanked it out with my pickup (Ford). After a bit of TLC, it ran and drove. That was 25 years ago. It still lives and is a family cruizer for a friend that I gave it to.....

Same! I like it!!!

 

Morgan County Alabama.

 

those are more modern rims, i wonder what its story is.

knowing fords, it'll drive right out of there, id love to do an "in the woods" revival like this video someday.

 

Not sure this is sitting and rotting, but it just came in to the shop where my buddies son works. Been sitting since 1971.

 

As someone quite famous on this site would say "I'd drive that".

 

Needs a Hemi. He he.

 

What make is the blue "Ute" in the first picture ?

 

There are still a lot of good parts left on this 1932 Ford truck

 

Finding one Henry J / Allstate today is uncommon, but finding three in one place is like striking gold.

 

Years ago Art Ruggerio had a Sunoco gas station with a similar Doge wrecker that we used to pick up a Willys sedan. At 50 miles an hour on the highway the engine was flat out screaming, but the wrecker had enough gearing on the low end.to pull a house down.

 

I am thinking about 1940 Dodge Ute.
