About two years ago I lived in an apartment next to a large salvage yard. Well in the back yard was a trailer with an OLD GTO shoved into it.



Past it was a trail. Well one day I decided to find where it lead. Of course as I got down it I found "No Trespassing" and "Keep Out" signs. Which of course ment something good was around the corner so I kept going. Parked in the middle of the trail was an International Harvester dump trunk. I figure it was there to block it from vehicles.



Soon I came upon the first car



The the trail opened into a clearing full of cars. It was the yard owners private stash of parts cars. Lots if Impalas and 2nd gen firebirds, GTO's, and misc GM cars.













They say lichens are a sign of a healthy eco system. Apparently moss grows on the north side of a firebird as well



And my favorite. A 68 camaro. Is in rough shape. But I bet someone could make her sexy again



I peaked under the tarp and shes in restorable condition. Obviously someone thought they would return for her.

Anyway I was organizing my pics and I found these and I thought you guys would like them. Sad in a way. But a cool find. I went out there a lot to just sit and read or smoke a cig and drink a beer. It was a cool secret garden for an x gm guy.

Most likely the person that owns them won't let them go..my experience with finds like that are, the owner wants to watch the cars rot and not be restored...


I've located a '65 fastback that's been in a garage, disassembled for 20+ years. The owner claims he will sell it, but, won't give me tha time of day to look at it.

theres a place here about 30 minutes outside of town like that. i went with a friend to get a throttle cable for a 89 coupe. the guy that had it...... gravel driveway about 200 yards long into the woods, 3 old school buses, full of mustang parts, wheels etc. fox cars everywhere, on both sides of the driveway. then he had about 10-15 acre meadow, full of mustangs and other ford cars. was awesome. have to know the guy to get anything, he wont deal with people just walking up.

Lol, actually I looked at my original pics and I had it labeled as a 69 there. Eitherway I doubt I knew for sure. 67's are the only year I can identify for sure

Oh alot of these rides were hacked to ****. One rear end was removed from an impala by cutting the trunk floor out and then just hacking the axels off to get at the pumpkin. Most of the good parts were gone. But I bet the sheet metal could bring some in. I've thought of talking to the owner. They are still my landlord so I see them once a month.

Just don't want to admit to tresspassing on to the back of the lot. Lol. The GTO is in very nice shape for a car left to sit. Wish I had the time, money and know how....
