Here is a good way to waste an hour or so looking at old cars.

Saw that picture and the first thing that came to mind was "SHOW ME".
 
Sunbeam Tiger, the first Shelby, and it's a Mopar.
 
Thanks for sharing that. The ford unibody pickup maybe......otherwise I need to go get a tetanus shot now.
 
Bunch of Studebakers,that '62 Dodge C 850 looks sad.
That '42 Hudson looks decent.The two '41 Plymouths might be a good start on one.
Spotted a '68 Plymouth behind the '69 Ford XL.
 
That 63 Plymouth wagon is a rare one. If all the wagon parts are there and intact, you'd be the only one on cruise night. On the planet, anywhere. I'd take the 57 Dodge as a retirement project - put it on a ProMod chassis, a 6.4 and A/C .
 
too bad a lot of those cars just sat and rotted away. A few that might have been worth saving many years ago.
 
white Torino GT at the bottom of page three...a fortune in trim, glass, lenses, bumpers etc..I have often wished someone would start a gigantic warehouse of these parts for all cars. They could go around and buy up old places like this for a song and strip them and crush the rest. Just buy it up. Bring in a crew and a crusher. Strip and crush till you get them all and go to the next pile..inventory and sell the parts..places that repair trim would love to be able to just get their hands on a pristine piece.

The entire junkyard is for sale. In other portions of the site I was on shows the entire shop area full of boxed up radios,horns,steering wheels and tons of other parts including a hord of NOS stuff in boxes.
 
I am surprised that those Datsun Z cars are still there.
 
that '48 Dodge B1 truck looks pretty decent, looks like some kind of roof over it.'50 Desoto looks good too. Several solid projects , but some look like they were just dragged out of the mud.

Not much left on that one. Few small parts maybe...

I wish that I could make it happen!

The Porsche car fans have two, large organized outfits to get salvage parts. One on each coast, but Porsche folks are willing (and able) to pay the whatever is the asking price (typically, not bad IMO).

Here is the one on the east coast:

I don't remember the name of the one on the west coast.
