Came across this posted on Moparts. It's a yard in Rhode Island. Wow! Everything is rusting away  https://s214.photobucket.com/albums/cc114/bkl89/
  
This guy has collected HUNDREDS of acres of cars! NOBODY knows about this place. Its in the middle of nowhere in RI. The owner is working on CRUSHING all these vintage cars! He has been instructed by the state to get rid of all the cars. It will take years to crush all these cars and the owner is 70 years old. I have no idea what will become of the largest junkyard I have ever seen. Nobody knows of this place. Thousands of these classics will go to waste. Here is mostly mustang pictures I took . There us Hundreds of 64-71 Mutangs. Boss, mach 1, many many convertibles, K codes, fastbacks.. Maybe shelbys? The owner is crazy. He's always drunk is very hard to deal with. He's in another world. He said he personally DROVE nearly all the cars in a field in the 60's-70 and left them there for dead. Many are rusted beyond repair. But there still many parts cars. It will take about two weeks of walking 5 hours a day to see all the cars here. Plus many of them are so buried in overgrown trees and prickers there is no way to see them. I seen a dozen complete 392 hemi cars. This guy refuses to advertise, so nobody knows about it. Believe it or not the guy is still buying cars and driving them in the woods. The last time i was there the owner bought a running 60's mustang and drove it in the woods to be left for dead.

Thanks for sharing that. It is a shame when a collection like that is destroyed. Think of what that could do for the economy if that was marketed properly.

Thanks to the internet more and more of these yards are getting exposure. I don't think there is any shortage of scrap metal for the next 20 years in North America.

Looks like 2 69 TA's and a third white firebird behind it, then who knows how many H.O. or SD cars ?

 Should get Todd to try to post the pictures for all even though they wouldn't be Canadian Pontiacs

Eeluddy....I don't know if you seen carsinbarns? You have to hit the Chevy button and on the first page includes a 74 SD,69 and a 71 455 HO to name a few. A member put the link in the lounge under A Random Post for me.
