Salvage Yard Liquidation Update

After we did a story on a wrecking yard in Tennessee that was liquidating a large number of cars, reader Hurley C made the hour drive from his home to have a look. He took lots of photos while he was exploring the place and thought some of you might want to see what’s left. As noted before, most of these cars are parts cars, but there are a few cars that would be worth restoring. Just don’t plan on buying the Corvair Rampside, Hurley already purchased it!

The craigslist ad has been flagged for removal, but Hurley was there just on Saturday, so chances are most of the cars in his photos are still available. Getting a hold of the seller to buy something will take a bit more work with the ad down now. You can have a look at Jeff B’s original story about this yard here. Hopefully Hurley can provide us with the yard’s contact info in the comment section. Our thanks to him for sending us so many photos! And be sure to wish him luck with his Rampside!

        What is the address to the junkyard in Tennessee. Or a phone number will do. Hit me up 504-905-1151.

    Wow there are a lot of nice project trucks in those pics but my fav. has got to be that green El Camino. I would love to find something like that to play with.

      Brian, I’ve got a red and white 77 El Camino Classic for sale if you’re interested, it’s got the white swivel bucket seat interior and it’s currently my daily driver, problem is it’s in Australia and yes it’s still LHD.
      Not too expensive but the shipping would be the killer.

        Damn I love El Camino’s but you just can’t find any in good shape in Ontario Canada. They all have rotten frames or 50 pounds of bondo on them and the owners want $10,000 for them.

        I’ve never shipped a car but I bet it would cost more then the car from Australia. Thanks

        We pay between 3 and 5 grand for shipping but the cars are worth more here, buyers can’t get enough of them.

    In these situations, I always wonder how many offers for cars or parts were turned down over the years….. and now, just a bunch of rusted garbage.

    Hurley,

    Any pics of the car to the left of the Corvair? Looks like a 69 Toyota Corona in yellow like I owned back in college.

    I’d love to see more of the Autocar Camper! I wonder what they’re asking, and if it runs…

    Most look to have solid bodies , just surface rust, but, with no details, probably need more work than their worth . some would have liked back in the day.. the 68 Country Sedan, and the 62 Catalina 4 dr for ex. Sunbaked old cars if only, if only!

    The light blue 2 door 54 chevy looks to be a very rare business sedan . The rear side window looks like it has a rubber gasket all the way around meaning the window doesn’t roll down and the car would have come with no back seat . If it is a real business sedan it could be one of very few left .
