Going to visit Saturday, been there a couple years ago...

I'll try to get some pictures of the "good stuff" inside the building.
Bumper to bumper cars sitting on a dirt floor...:sad11:

Cool, a mopar farm with a barn full of birds!!!!

 

[unknownsnake]

[Demon416]

Wow! Nice discovery.

 

[Dartnut]

I love junk yards.
I would rather go to a junk yard than a car show any day!
Can't wait to see more pics.

 

[burgmopar]

Sorry, a little slow with follow up pictures...

This is one man's collection, several hundred Mopars.

How 'bout learning your A, B, and C's the Mopar way!

What a stache!

 

[stumper]

Looks alot like Peedins Mopar graveyard but they are in NC. Where in VA is this yard located?

 

[swifter]

Ok This kind of thing really gets to me when I see this sort of thing--What does it do ANY good to have something like this when GOOD people could breath new life into many of these vehicles ????? only for the owner to die and someone come along buy the property and crush or salvage all these fine cars--Sorry it just drives me nuts to see this sort of thing--Steve--neat collection though it just drives me nuts--

 

[cudaspaz]

Are the cars for sale?

 

[TrailBeast]

WOW, those things grow really well in that soil.

One of these days I'll scan the photographs of R+R Salvage in Aurora, before they crushed everything.

And I agree with that guy: What's the point of owning a hundred Mopars if you don't do anything with any of them? I call it the Action Figure Syndrome. People feel compelled to "collect them all".

 

[stumper]

They have the "hoarder" syndrom... Have a friend here in town that is like this. He has around 45-50 mopars in a yard. I think his entire net worth is tied up in the cars and they have sat for decades. For years he would not part with any of them, always claiming to restore them and sell them one day. In recent years he has decided to sell most of them - but the prices he puts on the stuff says otherwise. Most of the cars were probably salvageable 10-20 years ago but now most are "one with the earth" under them and he wants tip top dollar for them.
The other place I mentioned earlier, Peedin's Garage here in NC has hundreds and hundreds of old Mopars and all sorts of pulled parts in buildings. The owner died several years ago and a couple of the family members are trying to liquidate but their prices are sky high on the cars and parts. Most of the cars have returned to earth from the knee down and the longer they sit they will waste away even more quickly. There are so many old Mopars at this place that it would take 20 years to get rid of them if they just started giving the cars away for free. There just aren't that many people that are willing to restore cars this bad.

Wow, looks like they are all lined up for a drive-in movie

Yes, this is about a 25 year collection.

What a stache!

Boy, you said a mouthfull! I was impressed at how many '70 b-bodies were there...More here than I've seen at Carlisle!

Looks alot like Peedins Mopar graveyard but they are in NC. Where in VA is this yard located?

Not a yard, but a private collection. Located in Farmville, VA.

Are the cars for sale?

Yes, most of them are for sale. I believe parts cars in the field start at $1000 and up.
