GMB yard crawl in SW Michigan

Found a yard on my route down here. Going to talk to the owner about having some of us walk the yard/buy stuff some weekend soon. Lots of 60's & 70's stuff I can see from the road, possibly older (40's?) according to his friend that told me about it - Studes and everything.

I guess he's the second generation that owned/ran it, and the other guy (who told me about it) said some guys are trying to get him to crush out soon, as a lot of it is supposedly very rough.

Will go there tomorrow and post some pics if he'll let me walk the yard. Just wanted to post here so I can see how much interest there is. If I get enough interest I'll try to set something up.

 

I don't think it'll be hard to get people interested!

 

Where (roughly) is this yard? Helps for us east siders for planning, ya know!

I'll come up for it.

Not sure - it is "by Mattawan" though. Marquis does sound familiar... And here I thought I could contribute something cool to the H.A.M.B...

 

hey man, youre still contributing. one thing I have learned, people here are ALWAYS up for a crawl. set a time, and they will show up!

 

Roadstar and I stopped back there the weekend before Halloween to pick up that rear he brought there. The guy couldn't have been nicer. Had a group of friends hanging out around a campfire and invited us to join them, even offering beers and munchies. Made us feel right at home. He even asked me if I had my "bikini" with me! What a memory. He also invited us to come back the next weekend for his Halloween party.

Yep, you can count on me and Roadster making the trip again in the spring. Remember guys.....all the '57 rears belong to Rudy!

 

Jsut something about that number 57

 

actually I had something more important going on that day

 

Until I read this, I was thinking the post title was "SE Michigan." I'd be up for it, if it looks to be worthwhile.

 

Well I didn't go last year cause of I was building the garage. This spring I really want to go! April / May time frame!?!

 

I'd be down, depending on the timimg...

Also, it wouldn't bother me any to carpool with someone!

I, for one, find the idea simply smashing!

 

Pouring rain today and it's like 35 degrees out, so I didn't go today. Will have to wait 'til next week (going out to Vegas for work/convention for the weekend) and I will post more info.

 

Count me in! Hell, I've taken vacation days, and spent the whole day in a junk yard, never thought about doing it with a group!

 

Ditto....If I am back on that side of the state when it goes down, I would carpool with you, Steve (if interested)...Just depends on when it is.
