it sucks when a yard like this crushes all these old parts.. about 10 years ago we had a local yard here decide to close up and they crushed everything.. they had a '65 GTO body, some 61-65 Impala 2dr hardtops and a lot of early 50's cars.. but they couldn't find anyone to take thier inventory and had to get rid of it... it's a sad day when stuff like that happens... wished i was close enough to grab some stuff myself... :cry:

I dont wanna see it go. I am going to go get that 41' Dodge pickup rat rod there. :D If I see all that stuff gets crushed I will be like a tree hugger, except with old cars and trucks.

I'd like to see a flat head in a luv. It would be really cool to see with some old school speed parts too, like OHV conversion heads, headers, super charger. If you look around you can find some crazy stuff to do with a flathead V8 block these days.
