Finally! Bruce Cliche's salvage yard is for sale!

All of this translates to "We greatly over-estimated the demand for our stuff, and more to the point the prices people were willing to pay for it, and as a result we keep telling people here's what we want, take it or leave it, and they leave it. So we need someone to just buy it all so we don't have to deal with all these cheap skates."
 
RIP Bruce

Too bad it's not closer...

I hope they can sell for a decent price
I hope some of the better cars/parts go to good homes too
 
The value is in the rare and muscle car parts. The few cars that have good parts, that are Mopars might be worth 20-30 thousand. The loose parts are where it's at.
 
Who's gonna fork out a million plus for all that? It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars just to move all that stuff....and you still need a place to move it all to. This thread is 2 years old already & he should have started selling stuff individually back then & just take what he could get.
 
He wanted to sell the house and land along with the parts. He had a legal action with the EPA awhile back about the ground contamination. Nobody wanted to deal with that crap.
 
I see the same thing happening to Jerry at J and J down in Starke, FL. I remember the first time I went in his yard and just saw one gorgeous Mopar after another. He was King of the World then. The last time I went, all those gorgeous cars have rotted down to hulk status. Someday someone's going to inherit that stuff and think they are sitting on a million bucks and find out the market passed them by a long time ago.

That's the problem. The hulks sitting around rotting have good parts on them for sure, but, they no longer have full value as intact Mopar muscle cars. They think they are still at those values. The zillions of loose parts are of more value, and are more portable but the vast majority are not rare or significant enough to have any big value. The really good parts are mixed in there somewhere but you cant get them, without also getting the rest of the worthless junk. The family knows this, but they don't want to get stuck with the junk either and have to clean up that giant mess. They want someone else to do it for them. They want it all to go, we want to just buy the good stuff. Never going to come to terms that way. They will end up calling in a car crusher outfit and get rid of it all so they can sell the house and land. Everyone gets screwed then.
