    Old guy that owns the place is hard to deal with. He mostley parts things out its rare that he will sell a whole car, he has a 59 el camino that I have offerd twice what its worth and he wont budge. he wont even part it out.

    Thanks for posting. That´s some cherry-looking iron right there. The´61 Bel Air would make a real nice drag car...Wouldn´t even paint it. Just hang the bumpers back on. Chrome steelies, bias-ply´s, nose-high...something shiny and loud poking through the hood...

    Does he say why? I mean, he's in the business of parting them out, so why not sell the entire thing? Maybe he thinks he can get paid more for individual parts? There definately seems like some legitmate starts to good projects there.

    Shoe box fans would cry if they seen the cars hes got. some that are in buildable shape and lots that are cut up but have good tin and trim. He has titles for these things too. I was told he wont sell them because of alot of the titles arent in his name or somthing. The thing that dont make sense is the cars he wont part out or sell complete. there just sitting there rotting. He has some realy nice rides set aside for himself.

    I'm still beside myself when i see photo's of non rust belt junk yards......
    I look and i see car's that, around here, would normally be in some guys garage being rebuilt, not in a yard...
    The yards around here for the most part have half eaten car's with little to no workable sheet metal left...that is, if those yards are even still around..many have gotten cleared out.

    Thanks for the pics.

    There are a lot of ruted out cars out there too. It snows bad out there in the winter He is good about keeping hoods down and doors shut on all the cars he can. Last I spoke to him he said the county is trying to shut him down. Its a shame, he has been there a realy long time.

    If the county is trying to shut him down then he should say the titaling is the buyer's problem. They fall off the dmv radar after10/20 years anyway. They run the numbers and if its not reported stolen then they issue title. that way the fine is lessened for him and other folks do the hauling.
    WIN WIN.
