These are for sale but will take work to get them out. They have been sitting for years. I hope I'm not breaking the rules again.
We're only allowed to say positive things? You mean all those cars are really wonderful and would make great restoration candidates? Coulda fooled me! You've been given bad advice.
I meant they're at least parts cars. The Comet wagon needs to be saved. It needs floors and windshield but the rest of the car is really good.
I just have to shake my head when I see this kind of abuse of what likely was good machinery 40-50 years ago. It really shows someone has an OCD hoarding habit. All those cars, including the Comet, are just only good for scrap. If there were any salvageable parts, the time and hassle to rescue them greatly outweighs their value, unfortunately. Now if the owner had parked them in an open field, placed (and replaced) tarps over ones with missing glass, and generally kept them up and was willing to sell them, that's another thing.
The salvageable parts on these cars are the parts you can take off by just walking up to the car with your screwdrivers and wrenches. That means easily gotten-at trim and so forth. It would not be worth trying to pull these cars out of where they're currently sitting both because they'd likely fall apart the moment you tried to move them and because any parts you have to move the car to get at are not likely to be worth getting at, especially on those cars that have sunk into the ground. I see a part here and there, such as the front bumper, perhaps grille, and headlight trim on this car: and the rear bumper and tailgate key escutcheon on this one: Several look like they have usable glass, but getting glass out is not trivial.
It's not every day you come across an old salvage yard like this. There are many treasures amongst the trees. Thanks for sharing.
They're not salvage yards, they're junk yards and they are all over the place stuck in forgotten backwoods locations around here. AR, KY, TN, MS, and AL are full of them. God knows why they all ended up where they are, but the old geezers who own them will seldom let you on the property. Once they die, the relatives move in and start offering all these "project cars" on CL thinking they are going to make a fortune because they watch too much TV. They pop up all the time around here.
Too bad. I've been looking for a Vega wagon that hasn't been tubbed and rodded. Given how fast Vegas rust even when not buried in mud past the rockers, I suspect the one in this yard at best has no floor.
There's one about 12 miles from me at a farm. The folks there would be willing to sell stuff though, I believe. Easy to see from the road in winter.
