A friend took me to an undisclosed location.....I was sworn to secrecy by request of the owners, they do not advertise for a reason.........I am beyond blown away by this place.......I photographed a mere fraction of what is there......most of the C bodies are disc brake cars.

That s tragic like a wreck you cant stop looking at... I love those places... start thinking that's a cool car, wow that hood looks useable, I wonder if this ran or got dragged here? Then reality... worst way you could ever store a car... vandals breaking glass for fun makes it even worse pretty soon there is nothing really savable on the car. That truly is a cemetery, very little looks like it will be useable but the tragedy is captivating.

Actually theres tons of useable stuff, very few cars are picked over because of the secrecy that goes with this place, these cars have all been here 25-40 years. I pulled parts today and everything came apart like butter. Most cars have good glass, trim, interiors, suspension, brakes, rear ends, engines, tranny's, its the body's that are gone and from what I understand thats how 90% of them got here.
 
Was that ever a commercial yard, or was it a farmer's private collection? It seems the stuff was gold to the old farmers who put there old discards in a back field and mowed around them... until the farmer quit keeping them cleared and the plant life took hold. I never really understood why, but you very seldom can buy anything from them.

They farmed and still own a trucking operation, there father started just keeping his old cars, then neighbors and family/friends started giving him their old cars, the brothers just sort of followed in their dads foot steps but because of their trucking company sort of expanded. Slowly area guys bugged them to come in and buy parts, they allowed it for quite awhile until people got greedy and began to steal and destroy things......The brothers closed the little side business down, it became a hobby after that, currently they collect and restore vintage farm tractors.

I got them to sell me the two 73 fury's on a condition.....I can have all I want off them......but the carcass' stay.......I'm not about to argue when they let me in and let us wander the yard all day and actually let us take some parts.

I have to go back in a few weeks to deal with the two fury's and will have a good look at the one on the '71 thats brown with the gator grain top, it's the only 71 2 door I can think of, most are 4 doors here
 
If I didn't know you were in Canada I would swear that you were at Leon's Junkyard in Culpepper, Virginia. LOL!
 
IDK about Canada... these kind of junk yards and private collections are a dying breed. Have stupid environmental cleanup expenses if/when the state EPA goes after them. With EPA, real estate sell offs and scrap values (when high)... tons of these collections get destroyed... if you have the car and a local yard... stock up... its not getting better.
