I have asked if i could pass on this info and got a YES. I dont know any exact address yet, but if anyone knows the area or where this might be, it sounds intresting.

I have asked for more info, such as an address and pics. when i get more info, i will pass it on.

Pics would be nice. :D

The cars should be sold on Ebay instead of crushed, that would be a sin! :sad:

I would suggest if someone knows the area to check it out. I would think people in town would know where its at.

When I get more info I will pass it on.

hell, at 400.00 I may be interested in any year as long as its chevy....VA is a long ways, but I got a buddy in TX with a hauler that I know I could talk into making the trek......if there is anyway possible can you get even a partial list of the chevrolets there and post it here for all of us....that would be awesome.

Thanks

CAMAROS, CHEVELLES, ELKYS, and see if there are any Mopars like Cudas, Challengers, Road Runners, SuperBees. Take some pictures.

Put me on the email list!

I need 68 convertible sheet metal and parts.

Also 67 Mustang parts (Sorry, my wife had it before we met)

I need a daily driver too... could be a functioning camaro.

Hey, I also have a soft spot for a 64/65 Plymouth valiant convertible... loved that old slant six (and can verify it would do 120 MPH!)

Anything yet? I can only imagine what some of these cars might look like after all these years, but it's worth keeping them from the crusher!

If he has either a convertable or hardtop 69 chevelle I would be willing to make the trip over to Florida. Let me know because I will have to arrange some leave time with my supervisor.

How about a '70 Mach I 429 Boss, '69 Road Runner Hemi, '70 LS6 conv. matching numbers, '65Z16, '67 Stingray 427? I might give 400.00! ROFLMAO.
Seriously, a frenzy is about to happen. People will be wanting to "hold" the car for them and wire the money.
Visual: Slobbering buzzards sitting all around a junkyard on fence posts.
LOL I will also be interested in many different cars for that price if remotely restorable. I hope he sells them 1st come, 1st serve for that price. Load up a trailer and haul a$$.

UPDATE

I spoke with my wife's uncle ( Marty) today. As stated earlier he works for a auto shop that has owned this property and has been an impound and dumping ground for years. Its is not a retail type junk yard but has collected many many cars over the 30 years. What I am told it is very far off the beaten path.

As for clearing it out, they are not advertising the sale. Do not want to be bombarded with people going out to their place as there is not an office or shop there.

The junk yard wants to sell the cars whole - not just parts. If you are really interested I can forward Marty's e-mail to you.

Send me a PM and I will pass along the E-mail

Yea, I wouldn't mind a 70 LS6 myself. Preferably a convertible but I guess I would settle for a hardtop as long as it's a 4 spd. After all, It's $400.00 - LOL :)
