There is one there but they open and close it allot. My Dad and Brother went there awhile back then they closed it to the public again. Lots of goodies there!

Wow. If all those pic's are from the same place there is a goldmine sitting there. No wonder that was posted on a Lincoln forum, they were admiring all the great GM convert's!

There were a ton of convertibles in those pics!

Really neat shots, thanks for the pics.

My wife swears if I were single, and had fifty acres and a tow truck, this would be how I'd live :).

Cheers!

Tom your wife is right because if I was single I would have opened a junk yard 40 years ago. I would have went broke because I wouldn't have crushed anything and I would hold on to to much stuff. I love junk yards and would love to take stuff apart it is the putting back together that I have the problem with.:D Roy

Looking at the countryside.....I don't believe this is one junk yard. It has to be several different ones.

I'm with you Roy..........I should have bought 80 acres 25 years ago and started collecting cars!! Junk yards are GOLD MINES!!!

Well...actually better than gold mines!!!

Roy,
I have the exact same problem. I buy but hardly ever sell.The main difference is you guys lack imagination. My "junkyard" is 16 cars, 6 cushmans, and 2000 sq ft of parts (or junk depending on your gender) on less than an acre and I don't have a quarter of what Phil has.:eek: :rolleyes: :p

those are some awesome pictures. Last summer I went to a junkyard here in ct that still had a granddaddy licence. The sad part is the original owner died and his sons and nephew are fighting over it. One wants to crush everything and the other doesn't. Any how I did find one 58 "w" head in a belair and that was about it every thing was pretty well rotted out. Shame. Does any one on here know of a junkyard in N.E. penn. near wilkes barre? You can see it from I 81. THis place is enormous. Vin

I would love to come across that place.I was in Pa. last summer in Myersville ,Pa.There is a junk yard there with over 3500 cars ,nothing newer than a 1975.Problem was the guy is so expensive on parts ,I'd never buy from him.Example:He will not sell a piece of molding off of a fender unless you buy the fender.Consequently he's sitting on a ton of stuff with no customers.Wish he would wake up and get reasonable.

Roy: In the late 60's I wanted to own the local junkyard in the area but couldn't make it work. I've always wanted to own one also!!

It's to bad the younger generation sometimes don't care. There was an old Auto Wrecker in Clinton B.C. where everything was crushed when the original owner died. The son just wanted it all gone so he could sell the property. There was over 250 cars from the 50's & 60's.
