I had a friend with a yard just like that. I used to go up there for parts, and spend the better part of the day just looking, and hanging out.

Holy hell! Where is this?! I have a 4x5 camera desperate to immortalize some of these beautiful piles of iron oxide in larger-than-life format.

Sweet? I mainly think sad. There's a lot of cars that could have graced our roads, which have instead been allowed to disintegrate in a field. Hoarders suck.

+1 $699 and up and $20 to even go in and look at them? Most of them look too far gone now anyway, but they will all end up going to the crusher rather then being put to any further use..

I'm not sure they're a hoarder as much as the by-product of 50+ years of junkyard operations that saved the shells instead of crushing them.

I'm thinking it was an altruistic car saving, not a malevelnt car hoarding.

Awesome, thanks for sharing these. I agree there aren't too many there that I would be willing to save without an extensive amount of work. The tbird at the end looks pretty solid but the moisture from the ground has probably done some damage underneath.

Either way, really cool.

that many mostly complete cars tells me that they think every part off every car is worth a small fortune, and every complete car is worth a large fortune.

that many cars just sitting in a field rotting away just seems silly to me.

Interesting, but all I can think of is how much less iron ore would be needed to make new steel if all of this waste was re-put into the stream.

The cost to restore any of them will be far, far more than they would be worth.

Maybe one or two would make some sense. But the rest need to be recycled. Turn that into a new Volt or something.

Put me in the "sad" camp. There comes a point when something has become useless garbage littering a landscape. I'm pretty sure the field would look better without all that trash in it.
