I don't know but I should take a run down there and just check the place out again, it's been about 5 years. The school was not accessible but there was an at least a half an acre of all kinds of cars, farm equipment and boats behind the school. Here's the link to the location which is basically photos of cars.

It's a Renault, what do you think?

Exactly. They rusted on the showroom floor.

Ah man.. the thread got retired just like the cars.. left out in a field to rust and rot.

I got into the junkyard today and was there almost 2 hours before I got caught. Cops were called, but I was let off with a warning because the cops that came were familiar with me. To quote the one that drove up and got out of the car: "Well well....Christopher Moron, professional dipshit..." lol.

And however named that Datsun Z before was correct, there are around 7 in there...Nice 160mph speedometers in'em.

was this a regular junk yard? or some abandoned property?

regular junkyard. Looked abandoned, never once in over a decade saw the front doors open or trucks moving things. Just my luck that the owner pops by today...

And Chrysler is now importing FIATs. They needed a car to make Chryslers look reliable. Renault is one of the few makes that would have been a better choice.

Renault is in bed with Nissan.

The Renault Dauphine was actually pretty reliable...it wasn't until the 1970s when Renault took a dive in quality.

And while Chrysler is importing some cars from its parent company, the inverse is also happening. Chrylsers are being exported to show up under several European nameplates. The 200 and 300 is sold under the Lancia name.

Posted by bandi I see Beetles.

There were a lot. You might see some more. I am really considering driving down there and seeing what all is still there. Maybe this weekend...hmmm.

Found an open side door. Property was sectioned and being leased. Made a call to meet with owner to "view" property. Made an offer on Wagon, and DROVE her home.

I. Hate. You.

Damn, that Willys just needed a bath. She's a beauty!!

A few, I only photographed one that had an ID badge on it, never got back to the white one you saw before I was caught.









In the mean time, any guesses for THIS hunk of Iron?

'27 T-Roadster pickup.

Man, that’s not a junk yard, it’s an outdoor classic car parking lot. (Occasional station wagon & junk year Camaro thrown in.) How unfortunate!

You should go back & tell this guy you want 20% for everything you sell on ebay for him!
