otherwise these cars will be lost forever.
I collect tags, I have stacks from this yard.
Some B-Bodies in there too. At least they're still around and not crushed. Do they ever sell anything whole? I'd dig that 80 or 81 Diplomat 2-dr you have a picture of. If it's not rusty.
On occasion they do, a '71 Mustang was just sold to a friend of a friend.
Well it doesn't sound like this is a junk yard for parts anymore. At least not for anyone off the street and not without proper vetting and clearance. So that leads me to what is the point now other then letting them return to earth out in the open. Therefore I don't think "collections" is the correct terminology for something like this. If they aren't being used for parts hunting, as in an ongoing business, then I would have to lean to crushing them and recycling the steel in them. This yard, in my opinion, is just a notch or two above being pointless except to a hoarder. The bigger shame here is that something could have been done with them 25 years ago when in better shape yet now pretty much toast.
They were open and sold parts, then people abused it, destroyed things for no reason and stole, theft got to be a huge problem, one morning they went out to start on of the trucks and it wouldn't crank, someone stole the starter overnight!
If you were to crush these cars, millions of dollars in used parts would be lost forever, there are easily 20 '69-73 Disc brake Set ups in here. They still allow people in and sell parts, but not just anyone, and they want to know which cars the parts are coming off.
By the time these cars arrived at the yard, they were all toast, you don't understand what Ontario Rust is like, it's not California rust.......Body filler is a commodity around here.......
My goal is with their permission I will help them part out the cars before anything good is destroyed by the elements.
