Carmine
Old Man with a Hat
Just some random pics I snapped the other day. Trivia: This automotive recycling centre (at 18 1/2 Mile & Van Dyke in Sterling Heights MI) is "built on top of" the old Warhoops Junkyard. This is where GM sent its show cars and other interesting artifacts to be scrapped in the 50s/60s. Many of them weren't scrapped, but were hidden in trailers. Decades later, collector Joe Bortz purchased many of them and had them restored.
This Magnum is the reason I went. It's picked pretty clean unless you need what still remains?
If you hate a-holes in boomcars, it may satisfy you to think how much time and money were wasted on this. Unfortunately a Mopar was harmed.
Sure the lights are probably useless, but he did add nifty LEDs. Bra is keeping that paint nice for the shredder. Note the 3800 V6 emblem from a Pontiac.
Sorry, but that's a 2.7L. On the plus side (get it?) that amplifier power wire is a thick as a baby's arm.
This car had two (2!) USB ports and dual cigarette lighters. Mad electrical skillz.
Adds new meaning to door-mounted speakers.
Deck speakers
Trunk speakers
Neon license plate? I thought those died out in the mid 90s!? Back up sensors never came on an Intrepid, so I'm doubtful these served any purpose beyond convincing the sexy ladies that the owner was safety-conscious.
Only a poser paints the front struts and omits the rear. Sponsored by McDonalds.
There was an ACR Neon. Pretty cool find for somebody.
That hope faded like this bumper sticker. Bernie must have chosen an earth-friendly, cannabis-based ink for the campaign.
Euro readers... Did these Sprinter vans rust this badly in Europe? The hood was flapping in the breeze.
Even the emblems seemed embarrassed to remain attached. This was a 2006.
That's it for the tour. I did score a mint coolant overflow tank from a '78 Dodge truck that will migrate to my '73 as soon as I find the time; which means never.
