This 69 Fury I was interesting. It was a government car used by the DMV drivers license office. It has a top grafted on the roof. So a camera man could film a video for driver students. 383 2bbl V8. Wish I had taken more pics of it

I don't understand folks who let their yards become overgrown like this, how do you find your vehicles? Great pix.

I completely agree but having known quite a few guys over the years that owned yards here what I witnessed. They start these when they are younger or inherit them from a Father/family member. All pre-internet. The yards where kept clean or at least manageable. The internet allowed people to find stuff without having to source the local yards & drag a box of tools out to a car a hundred yards away. A lot of these guys just proved to not be internet savy & pulling parts & quoting shipping is a pain. It would take a staff on a yard the size of this one. So with no one trying to sell parts on the net & the locals buying off E bay & other sites it's not long before this place was forgotten about. This one now largely serves as storage for its owners & a parts source for their friends & the handful who find out about it & are willing to come pull their own parts

A good local yard here was somewhat over grown but packed full of stuff. The brothers died and the grandson of one took it over. He crushed all the old stuff and started bringing in ricers....He was done within 6 months.
I guess that was about 15 years ago now
