Yeah man, it sure does. It's getting hard enough to find G-bodies in general, but a yard full of wagons? :p I'm salivating.

Wow!! That's unbelievable...seeing a variety of every type of G-body wagon made in one yard. I'm beside myself. It is rather sad seeing them in their current state. Kind of bitter sweet.

Btw, I'm digging the cool old step van behind the Cutlass Cruiser. Looking at it closer, it appears to be a milk truck.... better yet.

Thanks for posting the pics.

alot of body parts are rusted out sitting in dirt. Most of the interior are good shape. If anyone is looking for anything let me know.

Based on the plates, often still on the cars, many have been there since the 90's, one 79' Grand Prix had 88' tags on it, a few g-bodies I noticed with early 00's as well.

What amazes me is that they still keep old iron (intact) and not crushing them like most boneyards do these days.

He's never scrapped/crushed a car and open since 68' is how the story goes. A towing business seems to be his primary thing, based on the cars there and lack of wrecks it seems many are probably just towed away "older" cars and/or mechanical issues led them there. Lots of out of state plates (saw a Kentucky, a South Dakota, lots of Minnesota), he's off the interstate so maybe that's why, cars passing through that died maybe nearby. The one Century wagon had an engine fire, the rest were probably just retired. One Malibu wagon (83?) had a for sale sign in it, so someone tried to sell it at least. Price on it wasn't clear but it looked almost like $150.
