I can't believe this stuff is showing up at a Milwaukee junkyard. Its been 10 years since I moved away, and I thought this stuff was already gone long ago...

Same here, been 11 years since I moved from Milwaukee and I never saw anything that nice in the yards.

sorry i didnt get the wheel(1 wheel was on the car).the guy who dropped the car off got the wheel.i have no reason to screw around with you or anybody else on here for that matter.i do get parts off some of the cars and some i just dont have time to get antything other than a picture(i work there 70hrs a week and most of the time i really dont care to be there any longer).you have never asked me about any parts on the cars so you have know idea what i took or what i didnt.some of these pictures are 5 years old.only 1 person from here asked me about parts.the parts he wanted i didnt have.not all of the cars were from the salvage yard.alot of them were my own cars i bought for parts.i do take the bucket seats,consoles,power options,12 bolts,disc brakes,tachs, gauges,trim ect.i dont advertise everything i have.most of it goes in my shop and just sits but some does get sold.so i guess next time you think somebody is screwing around with you or think hes a goof you may have bought parts from that goof and he is a pretty decent fair guy!!

let's not get excited, it's just a photo gallery and comments should be light. It's a real hassle taking photos and posting them, especially older non digital stuff that has to be scanned. I for one would not bite the hand that feeds me entertainment.
Thanks for posting !

Jrn101, I like your pics alot too. It's hard to save em all. I live in a subdivision and have to be careful what I bring home and have to be quick about stripping them... The pics are awesome though. Lots of the ones I see and get a pic of are destined for the crusher too. All the ones I submitted last week are about 15 minutes from a recycling center.... It's just a matter of time... I was talking to some guys in the area last week at a body shop and they were telling me that the thieves in the area are pulling wire from the center pivots in the fields and taking them to scrap as well as pulling it all out of grain bins. It is costing farmers thousands to replace it. At the junkyard last week the owner was telling me that thieves sneak in at night and steal his catalytic converters.... I can't stand a thief. As time goes on however, anything that isn't running or being watched closely will be hauled in for scrap... It's best to photograph the ones that can't be saved. Keep posting them, sometimes it's better than a sad country song... "dog died, wife left with best friend.... car got crushed... Sure miss the car and dog"....

Here's one I saved from the crusher. Drove it for a year and sold it as a parts car, to a guy with a 442 ragtop.
This car was really rusty, but had lots of goodies.

Can I come work for you? It's a heck of a lot easier taking them apart and not putting them back together. Plus I need a carreer change anyway. I'd rather crawl through cars then some of the crap people have stuffed up in their attics! Be kind to an HVAC technician this year and all other years hereafter. This is why we are a dying breed. We get sucked into car stuff! Love all the car pics even if they are in a junkyard. Means more parts for me! Scrap more 4 doors. Umm I misspelled it for a reason. (carreer)

Here's a fairly rare 65 Studebaker Daytona "Sport Sedan" I bought as a parts car. It was pretty rotted but still had some good parts. It originally came with a Chevy 283 automatic, twin traction Dana 44 rear end, transistorized ignition, bucket seats etc. It was built at the Hamilton, Ontario plant.
