    Three AMCs, one's a Pacer wagon, the other's a Pacer for parts.

    Doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason to any of these cars or this yard. I get this is a field of just cars collected over the years but other than that Pontiac wagon posted earlier I don’t see one car so far that even would be of any value compared to what you have to sink in to it right from the get go to fix it up to runner status.

    Very few of the cars are restorable but if you need a parts car most were going for less than scrap value

    Make sure your tetanus shots are up to date! And agreed with yellerspirit, most of those cars are too far gone to be restored without massive amounts of work.

    You sound like the guy on EBay that lists 15 “minor” fixes that need to be done to the car all for under $200. Lol

    This right here is exactly why those cars are too far gone. I guarantee a significant amount would fold up just like this the instant you tried to get it out of the yard.

    I don't think anybody is buying these cars to restore. I don't know about the rest of the country, but around here, yards like this with plenty of cars from the 50's, 60's, and 70's are all gone. They just don't exist anymore. Nowadays you get excited if you see an '85 Buick in the high turnover junkyards that do exist. If you come across a chance to get a parts car for something like this that you are working on you grab it.

    William. You’re slipping. On of the pictures I saw on the website that was posted here was a ‘69 or ‘70 Marquis 2 door. Only a side view, and obviously no antenna so I could not tell for absolute sure what year, but when I saw that I for sure thought you and Anthony would be on your way with a trailer. Lol
