This car was saved from the scrap yard for $300, the floors are gone but it is intact and mostly complete.

1979 Chevy Corvette



1979 Corvette, 350 automatic, AC,etc. It cranks, but won't start. The asking price is $1,500.

1966 K- code Ford Mustang Convertible


1965 Chevy Truck


Mid 60s Chevy truck found in downtown Tyler, Texas. Also there was this coke machine sitting on the other side of it. It has been there for a some time. It belongs to an old bail bondsman, and I think it might be for sale too.

Jeep and Mercedes- Benz

 Found these along with other neat things near an old American Civil War prisoner of war camp, Camp Ford in Tyler, Texas.

1965 Ford Thunderbird



This T-Bird has an interesting but sad story. It was sent to a shop to have the glass redone along with other work too, but the shop discovered rust in areas that demanded repair before they installed the glass. They rebuilt the 390FE and C6 automatic transmission, and it was on the way to becoming a really nice car. The owner went bankrupt and could not afford the repairs, so this car was parked in the shop awaiting for the funds to be exchanged to release the car. After 4-5 years of sitting in the shop, and no sign of getting paid, they pulled all of the parts that they had put into it except for the 390 and C6. They then parked it behind the shop where it sat since. The keys were still in it at the time of looking at it back in November 2010. The 390 had a Holley EFI system put on it too.

1969 Ford Mustang







Junkyard Cars: Torino, Mustang, Datsun, International, GMC, Ford F-100

1975 Ford Torino found in East Texas's Piney Woods on October 29, 2012. Looks like it has sat since 1999.

1967 Datsun 1600 Fairlady, also found on the same day. It looks like it has been here a while as it is sinking into the dirt.
This Datsun looked pretty complete and straight.
1950s International Harvester 110, it has sat so long that the ground underneath it is washing away.

Mid 60's GMC and late 60s/ early 70s Ford F-100
The Datsun 1600 rear end, it looks restorable.
 1969 Ford Mustang Coupe, 302 with a C4 automatic transmission. The entire car was $600, but I removed a few parts for my 1970 Mustang.
