Be prepared for coolness and some car murder mystery, because I don’t recognize some of these. Also, these cars are the ones that caught my eye for one reason or another.

I headed to the junkyard yesterday before it closed. My push mower needed a new part. Unfortunately I somehow missed a second piece, so I need to return Saturday or something.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

For some reason, there were two trikes, and a extra front.

Kinja'd!!!

It said it was made in China. Doesn’t matter, it’s amazing and I want one.

Imthis guy had a 19 hp engine, close to the my 20some Hp of my craftsman.

Kinja'd!!!

I really like how this truck looked.

Kinja'd!!!

Camaros.

Kinja'd!!!

I still like this Meyers Max. The floor is rotted out, but that can be fixed, right?

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Cool trailer is cool.

Kinja'd!!!

A primered Nova with no engine.

Kinja'd!!!

A ‘54 Plymouth I believe.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Back of Nova

Kinja'd!!!

Car murder mystery time.

Kinja'd!!!

What is this car? It looks familiar.

Kinja'd!!!

This car looked fancy, well it did look fancy.

Kinja'd!!!

This car looked familiar as well, but I couldn’t figure out why.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

How can anyone resist a purple Metro? Or a pink truck?

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

I cheated on this one, found it while Pokemon hunting in town.

This junkyard is in Michigan as well, right across the street from the one I visited last Saturday. I have a feeling that they might know me by a first name basis soon.

That red one’s a Porch-ah, fo sho.

That yellow one...MGB? Wheels are right.

Yellow one looks like a Spitfire.

Fancy one looks like a Series one XJ.

I don’t remember if the Manx uses partly its own floor or whether it uses the pan straight from the VW for structural reasons. I think it’s the latter, in which case it’s a worthwhile fix with parts readily available. The parts are fairly cheap, a working Manx is not -at all.

Is it a Porsche ? Sad state it’s in then, :/.

Pretty sure that’s a 924.

That's a fun word to say, spitfire. Sorry, off topic.

If anything, one could re-weld a new place to rest their feet. I think that could be done. I asked how much full cars would cost, but I was told only the owner could say a price...if its sellable to begin with.

I think some people here might not be happy seeing what’s crushed under that old Chrysler Corp sedan in that container of sorts...because it looks to me like a Ford Contour SVT...the bumper certainly matches.

The yellow one...something about it makes me want to say it was a Triumph Spitfire, MkIV or 1500, the last two iterations of it.

I think the yellow car is a 240Z (or another Z car). What makes me think that is the rear hatch that is fairly visible in your pictures. It’s long and flat and square, like a 240z

Kinja'd!!!

and the headlight buckets make it an even stronger case.

The red car is a Porsche 924, the grey one looks to be a Jag of some sort.

Also, those poor trikes, someone should save them they look decent actually. They both look to be ATC 185's or 200's, someone just slapped a first gen 250R decal on the tank.

Someone should save it, but I'm tapped out currently. Or, I will be once the new kid arrived.
