re: hotrod graveyard
I might know what you're talking about, if its in the north east corner of oklahoma that is, know of a few places like that actually, since Im from the SE kansas, and NE Oklahoma area.

Check with the county and get a plat book. It will have the name of the property owner, grab a phone book and give them a call. Good luck.

re: hotrod graveyard
You have just described lots of places in Oklahome. Tell me the town, I may be able to help. I spent 8 years in Oklahoma and did a lot of junk yard crusing while there. In fact I have a list of some of the places I wanted to remember. Now if I can just find the list!!

I love old junk yard's, there's one up near my wife's folks place here in California. Its off Hwy 41 heading for Yosemite. I had heard a rumor it was closing this year as the owner is well into his 80's...but for now, here's some stuff I found of interest when I was there last summer...
Mercury Commuter wagon, no visible damage, tags expired 1977! ![]() Rambler Wagon, tag's from 68, dented on the passenger side, nothing major, easily fixed... ![]() Chevy Panel, owner of the yard was using this to drive the property!! ![]() My personal favorite.... ![]() Dave Lance Armstrong Foundation http://www.laf.org/ |

re: hotrod graveyard
Yea Dave, I hear that yard is still there but the rumors are still floating around about it. Its been 25 years since I was there at that yard. Its about 40 miles from here. I cant recall if thats the one off highway 49 out of Oakhurst or Raymond Rd. out of Coarsegold. Guess I need to go for a road trip. I was just in the area 2 weeks ago but didnt go by there ... well with the wife in the car and all I couldnt think of a good excuse.
