Junk yard/barn/field pic thread?

Posted some of these before but can't remember which ones. A buddy pulled this 32 roadster out of this mess before Christmas.

 

All these cars are for sale. Have to find the number though. In a wrecking yard near Waxahachie, TX.

 

there was a website: barnfinds, something like that - had all kinds of stuff - categorized by mfr. Most of it was non-HAMB (RR, GTX, Mach 1, AMX, etc) but still had a great pic of vintage tin from time to time. I used to have a link to it, but cannot locate it now.

The owner sold the land to a contractor to build acres of housing. All the cars were left there. Mostly 60 and 70's stuff. Not many maybe 11 or 12. The old rod pictured was the only cool car there. The one piece of land that wasn't getting bulldozed was across the road. That is who we talked to. He said that the owner give the cars to him minus the old one to scrap. I'm thinking he just didn't want us fooling with it so he could get it for scrap. I'm hoping someone dragged it out of there but if I had to guess I'd say it was scrapped. This car was watched for over two years while we tried to figure out who own it so a club member could buy it. It never came to be. The woods kept getting smaller and smaller untill they got to the car and within a week it was all gone. Da Injun from here may have more to add.

 

not as good as the other stuff.

 

Speed, hauled it for a friend,painted in the 60's,was that coral ford color which it will return to , I will be doing most of the work on it hopefully, oh yea' it's a y-block,will be left stock but told him it needs merc wagon tailights!

 

I was just thinking "Finds" needs to be a weekly thread, or at least a tag like "Technical" is. Here's my contribution, West Texas material...

here are some from A yard I was raiding in Conn

 

how could anyone lose interest in something like that, wow.
think its still setten there ?

 

This place was in Conn. I hit this place hard! every free day I had( missed days at work too) and every weekend, for 4 months!! there had to be 500 hundred cars there. The best thing I found in there was A real 4 1/8 stroke flathead v8 ford, LZ carb, Jahns piston, johnson lifters, recut cam, chopped flywheel. one day it will run again. Jared

 

Here's just a fraction of the goodies in the local JY...which is where I got my Meteor. The last pic is an F6 at my uncle's that he said I could have. Maybe too new for the gang here, perhaps.

 

Nope, its gone, a buddie checked on it before winter. The owner never lost interest, he just got old before he could finish them. JJibs

...this 53 Ford truck has been sittin here for at least 25 years, the top is rusted out.
about the only thing good on it is the grille.

 

This 1936 Ford Tudor was already sitting here when my parents bought their house in 1962. I remember as a kid that the passenger door would still open and close. Yes, I was responsible for putting some of the bullet holes in it back then.

 

'41 Plymouth. I bought it last year January and sold it this January, almost to the day.
Had been setting next to a garage for quite some time.

 

Here's my 57 Fairlane Late 50's Thru 1969 show car "Golddigger".Was blasted in 1983 and sat in a trailer 'til 2007 when I bought it.Currently being restored.

 

I know a couple of the cars in your photos. The one '48 chevy is on the Old Frazee Farm in Lone Pine and the Olds 88 is in Deemston. Frazee also has a '47 chevy that my dad sold him probably 20 years ago.
