All those 'tangs remind me of a yard in VA.

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.

Some people may see these pictures and see this and think this mess is illegal, well it may be, but the state is aware of it and they have ordered him to clean it up. He is cleaning it, just very slowly. He is 70 years old and when he dies or goes fully blind (he is almost blind) The junkyard will be taken over by the state and over 20,000 classic cars will be destroyed. I do not have the owners phone number. He will sell parts or cars, but is hard to deal with and if you go there he will usually walk you to the car you need parts for if he's not too drunk. He will not let you wander around the yard by yourself to look at whatever you want.

I know I will get endless emails about this so I will give you all the info I have right here.

If you want to see this massive junkyard from a map view I found it on google maps. You can see the cars scattered in the woods.
According to google maps location is called "brant trail". Scroll over from that location and follow the trail of junk in the woods.

Heres a direct link.

If you want to see the yard the address is:

60 weaver hill road
West Greenwich, RI
02817

 

Unreal! what a shame to see all the old iron going to waste.

 

i came--i saw--i wanna cry!! i think i can save the hillman and anglia/consul--not sure which.

 

I'll gladly take the earlier 80's Tbird, and the 69 Tbird behind it, and...

 

And so many more.....

 

I would like to walk around this place--but the cars look real rusted and I have been to R.I. and the rust never sleeps there. The thing is-alot of places like this will be gone with all the epa rules and neighbors and zoning,etc.
I think most of it will be too far gone to save. Never know.
I have seen some junkyards that are amazing and this place was in 1970--haha!!! Bill

 

when i was a youngon of 18 we had a bone yard owner like that i learnd fast that a 12 pack would grant me accsess and good prices bring him some beer and drink it with him you may get free range off the place

 

An amazing find, were do you start??? Is he selling any of the cars??

 

The Man Is Odd But He Know Where Things Are. I Delt With Him A Couple Of Times. You Could Get Lost Up There. He May Not Advertise But He Seams To Alaways Have People Wondering Around Looking For Thinngs.

 

Whenever I see this kind of thing it makes me sick to know that the crusher is going to get the stuff. It has always amazed me that there are historical preservation laws to save all the old firetraps and rodent palaces but not so much as a finger has ever been lifted to protect or preserve the products of the industry that has practically made this country. Everything that has been done is the work of the private sector in spite of these idiots going around and demanding that this stuff be destroyed. If that stuff has been there as long as it has then I doub't it's hurting anything. I think we'd all be better if we sent the state officials to the crusher instead. Ok, OK, rant over.


Later Folks...

 

Hi Unc. Long time no see. It's me John Boy your nephew.


I could live the rest of my days cleaning that place and loving it. I sure would be pulling those cars out and selling separate at bargain prices. Lots of little stuff a person looks for and then tell them you want buy the whats left for a $100. and then you have your parts and some.
Man what a waste. It will take a few years to clean up. If the government contracts it to someone who does not care about these old tin. Thye will just come with a a front loader and load it all onto semis to the nearest crusher.

 

Or rent a portable crusher like they did outside of Duluth, MN about 9 years ago. Had a complete yard crushed and gone in 2 weeks. The father died, and the kid came up from the twin cities, and wanted it all gone, so he could sell the property. A coworker drives by it everyday, so he told me. I went there that night with my 78 Bronco (RIP) and loaded up a 392 IH v8, FE C6 from a Galaxie, C4 from whatever, C6 from a 79 Lincoln, and couldn't fit any more.(total $100) What I ended up leaving behind, in the pile of engines....a 455 Olds Rocket, 401 Nailhead, and who knows what else. Unfortunately by the time I got word of this place, most of the trucks themselves were crushed, including an original Ford Centurian.
