Found this stash a while back. Story goes that a mechanic in a small town had a junk yard and was told to get rid of the cars so he hauled them out to a ravine and dumped them. There are a lot of 40's and 50's cars of all kinds and some unusual finds. Looks to be about 50 or more cars all together. You just never know....... 31acoupe
Will we ever run out of rusty hulks to restore? Maybe not, but is there going to be any gasoline to fuel them? Thanks for sharing. JT P.S. wish I took this picture, but I didn't, just love the thought of a "barn find"
20+ years ago a friend walked to my house. he had found an old car grave yard that he didn't want to share the location, till he got stuck and needed a friend with four wheel drive to pull him out. couldn't believe he drove his old 2 wheel drive datsun down into a canyon with plywood side boards and had a load of old steel piled 3 feet over the cab and got stuck. when I got there I had to load my truck for traction. the cars had all been removed during the scrap metal drives in WWll but this place is still loaded with fenders, hoods, lights, horns, windshield frames ect. back in the day late 30's back. people in town used to get rid of old cars by driving,pushing them off this cliff just outside of Boise Id. ol boy in a bar told him there was over 1000 cars there before the big war. I still want to go back with a metal detector (there is stuff everywhere) see if there are any buried treasures left
You should build a car/truck, all from that stuff, and document it here on the H.A.M.B. You have 1 year, starting... NOW! I'm thinking the truck cab in the background with the bullet grill as a starting point. Thanks, Kurt
To those that asked for bigger better pictures, all I have is a little cheap digital. I will try to borrow a wide angle from one of my rich kids to take some more pictures, if they are foolish enough to let me use it. 31acoupe
