Hey Phil, Awesome spot I love the rusty stuff. Thank god they knew enough to keep out of the states. Paul
Why not? I don't understand that. Then it's too late somone cries save these cars before they go to the crusher! If people share this kind of info some of them might get saved from such a faith well before it's too late.
because a bunch of people on the world wide web can see it and read it. they go there; many act respectful, others act like jackasses. stuff gets stolen and then it all reverts back to the one guy who found it and had the owner's trust in him/her. yes we are all car lovers here and we are all interested in rescuing the vintage tin but at the same time; you are posting it for the world to see and thats were things go ugly thanks to untrustworthy idiots.
Not necessarily back roads, but may be something here on the west side of the tracks, maybe sneak in from the cemetary. Switch to birdseye view from the road map, north of the pin. Just north of the Fucillo scourge on RT 11 in Adams, NY Never been in it, has anybody been onthe grounds there???? http://www.bing.com/maps/?showupgra...lMjUuNDczMzQ3MDQyMjQ0MyU3ZS0xMDkuMTM4NzYzNDI3
I started this post to show that there is still some stuff out there. I know when some guys post pictures of old junk yards I enjoy looking at them. I'm not disclosing the location because the old man would realy not appreciate it and I will respect that. If not I will never set foot in his yard. Would want that to happen.
Anyone know what became of Fryer Bros. Auto Salvage near Middletown,NY? I used to go there when I was a kid(mid-late 70's). Lots of vintage tin and the Fryers were the type of guys stories are written about(goats and cows tied to junk cars to keep the grass/weeds down...They lived in a tar paper shack with a dug well and no running water...Acres of cars throughout the woods and fields). If they liked you you could buy stuff for cheap...If not you were paying top $. Those two guys were old in the 70's...gotta be long gone now.
Fair enough. We all love to see stuff like this. Maybe it would have been better to say "look what I found" , rather than "some of the stuff is for sale".
Yes, you’re referring to Dubin's, I have been there many times, and it’s been picked over pretty good. There is no real old stuff like pictured in this thread. And the prices vary like the temperature!
15 years ago they had some old stuff, but not much and pretty rotty then. What I wish I'd at least taken pictures of, though, was in the section they were working out of - a full on custom 55-56 Ford hardtop. It was pretty radical, the nose and tail all redone, panel paint (blue on white), side pipes or scoops, all kinds of mods, looked like someone had taken it apart to redo it further and quit and it ended up in the junkyard. Scrap is way way up, I had someone in Central Square tell me if he went to the right place he could get 280 a ton, last week.
Yes, I used to go there, right up until the one remaining brother sold the whole works to Brim Recyclers in 1991, who crushed everything. Pop Fryer was a strange dude, but if you got to know him a little, and bought a couple trinkets off him (at ridiculously high prices), he'd let you wander the yard. He shot 2 people in '89 who were trespassing late at night, if I remember correctly. Then, he ended up in the hospital after a couple other trespassers beat the shit out of him a little while after that. I was so intensely sad when I heard everything was being crushed. He died in 1994 at the age of 80. I was surprised, he looked about 110 back in the late 80s!
