largest mustang junkyard nobody knows of is crushing everything
Hey guys this is Bullitt, but i recently read this thread on another forum about a giant mustang junkyard.
if you do one thing today look at the pics, they will blow your mind, Special thanks to Bkl89 for the info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heres the pics I took. bkl89 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting 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. Google Maps If you want to see the yard the address is: 60 weaver hill road West Greenwich, RI 02817 According to google maps location is called "brant trail"

WOW that google maps view is CRAZY! The link in the post didn't work, but I just plugged the address in, switched to satellite view, and followed brant trail away from the main highway...eventually you hit the yard, and MAN! Damn shame all that classic iron is being shredded...Some of it probably is too far gone to keep, but I've seen people start with less than that and build beautiful cars.

Years ago when I was building my '69, I spent years walking around salvage yards just like that. A piece of chrome here, a letter there. When your 18 and broke, salvage yards are your only hope. Most of the yards gave me the pieces for free. It's a shame those days are coming to an end for the younger generations. You can learn an awful lot hanging out a salvage yards.
Now that I'm older and have to buy all my mods, I wish I was 18 again.

Over on MustangForums.com a member somehow stumbled upon a 200 plus acre Mustang Junkyard in the middle of nowhere in Rhode Island. The junkyard which was started in the 60's is populated with heavy tree cover and brush and is said to house some 20,000 antique and classic cars all throughout the woods. According to the forum member the cars were driven into the field and left to rust by the owner of the junkyard who is now in his 70's, going blind and has a drinking problem. Recently the state was made aware of this junkyard and ordered the owner to clean it up or all the cars will be crushed. There are said to be hundreds of 64-71 Mustangs including convertibles, Mach 1's, Boss', K-codes, fastbacks and maybe even Shelby's.
From the photos you can clearly see most of the Mustangs have heavy rust and body damage so restoring these will definately be challenging. If you have time I would look through a few of the junkyard photos below and after jump along with the arial satellite views showing all the cars scattered throughout the 200 acre woods. Multi-page thread on this place |
