Somewhere around Houston...Looks like a bunch of muscle cars too. https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/pts/d/antique-car-hoard-almost/6169683510.html
I went to a similar place in Alabama a few years ago. The guy had listed some AMC Eagle parts cars for sale, but didn't have any pics. I drove out there and there were at least 100 if not 200 cars that look like they had been there for 20-30 years. Trees were growing through the middle of some of them. There wasn't one usable part on the Eagles and there were some muscle cars that were beyond saving. It was a shame.
What has always discusted me about junk yards is all doors, windows, hoods, and trunks are left wide open on many good vehicles. With the price of scrap metal a few years ago I'd think yards like this would be cleaned out.
It's the idiots who need parts for their own cars who leave the doors open. The owners would have nothing to gain from it. There's enough technology available to video the yard. Anyone caught on camera doing dumb stuff should get banned from visiting the yard again. Or, at least, allowed enrty only with employee accompaning, while paying double the price than would behaving customers.
Holy crap. What a waste. Looks like a large portion of the list is late '60s - early '70s Mustangs. I saw at least three 68 Ford XL's with hide-aways on the list, one of my favorites. And a 69 Fairlane wagon. Wish this was closer.
That area has been underwater several times in the last 15 years due to hurricanes and tropical storms. I would expect every single one of those cars to be only good for a handful of parts on a best case basis. Most are worth no more than scrap and I'd doubt the cost of getting a crusher out there would be worth it with the price of scrap metal these days. The time when they could have been saved or used was 20+ years ago.
Who knows? I wouldn't be surprised, if scavengers plundered those wrecks of the handfull of bits left, between storm sessions.
You can't tell much from this one pic, but given that the front windshield is still in tact, and the front bumper, grille, etc look decent, perhaps this one is at least a decent parts car. It still has its sport mirrors. And if that hood is solid, it could have been a nice score. According to the list, it's already sold.
Maybe, Clint Eastwood bought it for restoration and will be his future casket for an automotive arial burial. He'd better hope that a tree doesn't decide to grow into the vehicle and eventually impale him for eternity.
