Georgia Junkyard Tour

That was fabulous! Thanks for posting! Not many of those yards around anymore due to environmental laws.
 
This could have been taken in Tabernacle, NJ. The last time I was there I tried to buy a 1938 Ford Truck windshield wiper motor with a bent shaft and frozen motor. The going rate for these in semi working order is $5 around here, but they wanted $45. Needless to say I left and haven't been back. When the grad father owned the yard you could get deals. The son and son in law took over after his death, and now the grand son(s). have taken over. I hear that they now have a sign to negotiate for the part before you take it off. I guess there was a pile of junk building up from disgusted buyers who didn't agree on the golden prices that were being handed out. These junk yards could do a thriving business if the owners didn't think that all their parts were gold and the old car owners were lighting their cigars with $100 dollar bills.
 
I have been there. Most stuff so rusty now thats its totally useless.Pine forests are the worst environment for old cars.
 
too many people think their cars are worth their weight in gold or "I'm gonna fix them some day". then the cars end up rotting away. what a waste!
 
I think it's great. Nothing there is worth dragging away and people get the experience. I don't personally think every old car needs to be saved or parted out. This is history and it wouldn't be the same if the carcasses were all scavenged of any usable trim or tin.
 
Old Car City is owned by my cousin Dean. It is operated as a museum and is a very interesting place to visit. I don't think that he sells any parts any more.

I grew up in east Texas, and pine needles are the worst. Seem to rot a car from the inside out. But it was neat to see them.
 
Been there years ago when the original owner was there, I wonder if the small(15") cast iron fireplug he used for a front door stop is still there ? jiml...
