Not sure if this was posted once before. It'll definately strain your eyes trying to identify everything.

Grab a coffee.

that is an incredible collection of projects. it boggles my mind, I'd be like a kid in a candy store.

What to work on or buy first? Chargers, Cudas? big Impala's (427?), one of them big ol Pontiac Convertibles maybe......

wow.

[cheapthrillz]

wow..... holy mother load! I just tried to look at it and it slowed my computer down to a screeching hault! I am afraid to look at it again!

[vp23271]

I wonder if Jimmy Hoffa is hidden in there somewhere? :candle:

[brownz]

i dont understand how someone could collect all those cars and parts. and were they gto the money to but all that stuff??????????

[Young Gun]

first of all, thats just being selfish...

second of all, If I had the money and the talen, I would definately go though and part of all that I could, you could definately get your money back on that stuff, it would just require a lot of time, if I had the talen to re-chrome that stuff, or re-coat all of those headers, I imagine there would be a nice chunk of change in it, plus you get use of the land as lone as you want, so you dont have to worry about moving anything...

but most importantly, that guy is a selfish jerk for aquiring so much stuff he will never use, at least he protected it from getting scrapped I guess...

These cars might be worth some coin now, but I bet when he started compiling his junk yard they were all cheap and unwanted cars. It's not until his later years that the value of his junk yard was transformed into a collectors paradise!

I wonder if the guy had some type of obsessive compulsive disorder? He sure did compile a lot of stuff!

[The Rook]

If I use "Buy it Now" do you think he would throw in free shipping to Michigan????

[CHRIS67]

Holy cr@p! Lots of history there guys, lots of history.

[Young Gun]

If I use "Buy it Now" do you think he would throw in free shipping to Michigan????

you get the land!!!

BIN and bring a few semi rigs to load up!!!!

[shmoov69]

You guys can have what you want, but this is the only thing that I want! Save these for me!!!!

[Takid455]

this was up for auction a few years ago. what ticks me off is that I was in that town last fall and forgot about it. dammit. may have to do a long weekend in VT soon

[budweasel]

I wonder if the "yard hand" comes with it. Did anyone notice the creepy hand hiding in some of the pictures?

[muthstryker]

Lets make it a group purchase, and we all agree to go in and clean it up :D then we can use the land and make a track. perfect idea..

[Samckitt]

Wow, lots of stuff there. I thought salvage yards sold things over time, looks like this guy just collected things.

+1 i agree 100% with you.

Haha as crazy as that sounds it just might work. Lets do it.
:rolleyes:

[Jim Nilsen]

Some of that stuff people probably paid to have it picked up and some was bought for scrap metal weight alone .

The land is most likely on the edge of an EPA hazardous waste site and would cost you more than it's worth to clean it up the way they would require once it is sold.

hey watch me make a convertable top out of a bedliner, looks like a Red Green sanctuary :Alchy:

[justanova]

I wonder if Jimmy Hoffa is hidden in there somewhere? :candle:


thats funny, my buddy and I said the same thing when we scrolled past that brick house.

[barno68]

What, no Superbird!

[Nicks67GTO]

Looks like an overwhelming amount of crap to me. Im sure you could get your money out of it but the time it would take may not be worth it......

[Tony_SS]

I wonder if the "yard hand" comes with it. Did anyone notice the creepy hand hiding in some of the pictures?

...find the creepy yard hand!

[qwik1320]

Wow, I would love to buy that. That poor guy must be huge, did you see all the carbs in his fridge?

[TonyL]

Funny. i see my childhood there. My dad owned a wrecking yard till I was 17. I grew up playing in buildings full of parts just like the one pictured above. I'd buy all that stuff If I had the money. Just to have a wrecking yard again.

[West Texas Z]

I would have a blast there!! So many cool cars and parts. Amazing.

The only bad thing is that it slowed down my computer like a slug! Soooo many pictures.

[shmoov69]

Wow, I would love to buy that. That poor guy must be huge, did you see all the carbs in his fridge?

Har har har!!!:slap:

[danbob67]

all I can say is wow. there is a guy around here with a evergrowing back yard must be kin to this guy he will buy a car start working on it then put it out in the weather. hes got school buses and box truck boxes full of parts to.

[brn agn]

Maybe he is selling because it is haunted by "the hand". Here it is in a couple of other pics:

[shortrack]

incredible.......!!!!!
so many thoughts.......earlier post said how at one time this stuff wasnt worth much and he saved it from the crusher......absolutly right!!......its far from "crap"......original crossram , 2x4 set ups, rallye dashes......could really make a guys day (and project) by finding some of those parts.......Id like to see someone buy it up organize it all and sell every part to an appriciative buyer.......doug

[megaladon6]

i wonder what it'll do to muscler car prices?
i'll take the lincoln v12.

[Young Gun]

if we get all the members to pitch in maybe we can start a protouring.com wreck yard...we can just come pick and pull whatever we need lol

[dropit69]

i am really suprised this hasnt sold its been on ebay a few times..someone email this to Jay Leno..lol

[GBodyGMachine]

Just insane

[moreHP]

:jawdrop: Damn! It would take years just to sort out and ID all that stuff!!

[danbob67]

anybody want to float me a small loan maybe 1.6 mill

[67z28]

That is just awesome! And to think they didn't even show many of the cars on the property. ( 20 Camaros :worship: )

[69LT1Nova]

Look, I found me a pot of gold!!

https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif

Oh wait, that's just a pot of pocket change... :jump:

Dang, if I had the money, I'd be in a quandry about buying all that stuff. I know I'd get my money back, and then some, but I'd be way too afraid of not knowing some of the really rare stuff is worth and selling it for cheap. Plus I think it would take me 5 or 10 years just to wade through everything and sort it out...

I agree with what has already been said. That guy must of had a screw loose to collect all of this stuff and hoarde it. Selfish. And for God's sake, put those cars in a garage!!! Just rusting out in a field... ahhhh!!! :seizure:

[Jim Nilsen]

Did anyone else notice Thing in any of those pics :hmm:

Or is it Jimmy ?


look a bit closer and you will see a hand out of nowhere waving around.

[DB Z28]

Its thing From the adams family

[wantahertzdonut]

You'd easily have a lifetime of work either restoring cars or selling parts, but is it really worth $1.6M? He's had it for sale a number of times for $2M with obviously no luck. It would seem like it would take 10 years to come even close to moving all that inventory, and I'd guess anyone with the funds to buy it would not have the interest.

[Four40cuda]

Does he take Paypal?

[Whistler]

It looks like a bunch of scrap to me. Some of those bodies would be cool with modern mechanicals, but old rusting axle housings, intakes, cxarbs, etc... https://static1.pt-content.com/images/pt/2008/04/doublepuke-1.gif (http://smiliesftw.com)
