From an article:

Guess how many cars? 20.000 :shock: :shock: :shock: (according to Mustangforum.com )

Guarded by the owner with a shut gun. :s008: He is more or less constantly filled with alcohol. :s018:

The junkyard is located in Rhode Island.

The owner has bought and bought cars but never sold anything..... :s022:

The collection is so big that it is possible to see it using Google Maps on the internet.... :s005:

Too bad he isn't located out west. They would be in much better shape for salvage. :|

Is this a joke?? :shock:

And that they are seen even on google maps, that is increadible.. I remember the collecition/junkyard that was up for sale on E-bay a couple of months ago... How many places like these is really existing? I dont know if we should feel sad for those cars getting in more bad shape for every year, or happy that there still exist lot's of objects to restore(?)
It should be great to walk around just for fun! :D

Haha! Christer, have you seen page 10 or 11? There are an ol' yellow -68 Volvo 142 :lol: And a blue 145 :thumbsup: :biggrin:

I would have looked for an -57 Bel Air.. otherwise there was some nice objects for an Hot Rod... And that De Soto could need an rescue.. and that Cuda also... =)

Thanks for posting Chris :D
