thought i recognised a few of those old treasures....there was a time when a few would have been worth dragging out...the blue 56 chevy doors still leaning against the tree ?
isnt that the back half of one of my old 55's ?from Jimmy maybe?..the 56 doors i was talking about were dark blue if i remember correctly.....was about 1982 when i started to drag them out and left them there...since that 55 i had , i have gone through about 10 cars ...from a 41 willys to a dragster.....i said i was going to retire and give it all up and just keep the gasser but i went stir crazy , so bought a project...then another,,,then another......and so on........someday,when hell freezes over,i'll be satisfied with one toy...so when do i get to see this rod of yours?

Amazing this stuff has been left there for what ?, gotta be 30 years anyway.
Some has to be visible from the air,, being close to the airport it,s strange that nobody has reported this to the MOE, then the poor present landowner would be forced to clean it up. Strange with today's "greenies" running around bitching about people's yards.
The pictures with the snow on them are a different lott. not O'keef, these are the second place......these are odd notice how most of them are upside down and no frames.....

30-S6 asked an older guy today about the wrecking yard, he tells me it is at least 30 years that stuff has been there, told me at one time at it's peak in business the yard had upwards of 1000 vehichles in there and in those days back then,,yup, a number of them were parked back into the trees.

I first saw O'keef's in the late 80's the cars were all over in amongst the trees. the trees were growing up through them. not small ones either. probably 4"-6"in diameter. like you said in an earlier post. that they were forced to clean up. and this is what's left. I only went back about 100 yards or so but who knows whats still back there?

Thanks, from these pics yup, i can see them back in the trees. Not a heck of a lot of value left there in my opinion, possibly a few emblems maybe. Yeah, you gotta walk back in farther , maybe the older ones are back farther!! LOl. These appear to be mostly 50's cars.
