Speaks for itself really.... There's some stuff in there that is becoming very collectable these days.... ie: 67 fastbacks, converts etc. What sort of freight costs would there be in bringing 2000 cars home? :voldar02:

theres a few fastbacks in there... yellow one in the 2nd picture, and 2 more next to it.
They're not much over there... pretty much on par with XD/XE here

Some pretty reasonable looking shells there. I guess it just shows how many of them there are in the states for there to be a yard this big.

rapid xr8- thats the part that brought a tear to my eye, seeing a few 67/8 fastbacks in there, that would be restorable.

It is a sad sight to see ,one can only hope that they love their Muustangs as much as we love our Falcons and if some are bought back to life then it's not all bad

It's a hell of a lot better than the alternative, which is having the cars get crushed before anybody has had a chance to pull any parts off them.

About 6 years ago I was touring the states & came across a wrecker in Grants New Mexico that had a 73 fastback mustang with 351 clevland mtr for $1,500US a 73 Plymouth Roadrunner with 440 B/Block Manual for about the same or a little dearer but I was real keen on the 70 Buick GSX for $6,500US but I didn't have the time & could not afford to buy it & ship to Australia. All 3 of these cars are much more valuable today plus a pic of some more older cars laying about. You have to look but there are still wreckers over there with some older good cars to restore only prob is there are many others looking for them at reasonable prices.

Keep your Mustangs... give me a few days with my tools and I'd rather go nuts on these:
http://www.coloradomustang.com/yard0...4/DCP_3899.JPG And it's much better than places like this exist rather than scrapping the older cars. It's sad that so many old cars end up this way, but it helps keep the others on the road, not to mention that it's such damn good fun going to pick-a-parts and loading up with goodies.
