Rotting 3rd Gen Novas

It's been a while since I posted these photos. Look at all these 3rd Generation Novas that are rotting away in a junkyard. This isn't all of them, this is just the ones I have pictures of. This doesn't include the Pontiac Venturas or Olds Omegas either!

Is this a operating business still?If so maybe you could post a number or something for the members that could use some parts.Hard to find places like this that every car hasnt been cherry picked by people just trying to over inflate the prices..

:( :( :( tissue please ......sigh

Yes this is a business still in operation. These pictures were taken about 5 years ago so a LOT of the parts shown in these photos are gone.

The hood from this car will be mounted on my 74 race car next week. It's being painted right now. I doubt they'd ship to you. You basically need to stop in person and look for a part and then pay. One of the few that still let you wander in the yard and pull your own parts.

5th pic from the top that looks like a 67 sitting on its side:mad: :mad: :mad:

Would love just one for small parts and reference. Called all the yards around here and they just laughed. They didn't last long in our area (WI).

Yep, it is. Just in front of that is this 64 .

http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o166/StarRacing/MVC-008S.jpg

There are a few 2nd generation Novas there also and a bunch of 1st and 4th generation Novas.

This one is a 66 I believe. You can see a 4th gen behind it.

I'm still trying to track down a guy with supposedly ten 68-72 Nova parts cars. Don't know if it's real yet. It is supposed to be but until I see it in person...

Darn! half of those could be saved!!!!!!!!!!

Where is this place?

Two more that I missed:
Here's a 70:

I'm not having any luck finding parts cars down here right now. :(

Just imagine Allen how much your neighbor would appreciate you coming home with a semi full of parts!!

I got a line on a 74 trunk car this week . Should be checking it out within the next few days. Minus motor and trans.

Let you know what happens.

Rub it in..... :D


I'm about due for another one... just not coming across any.

Just imagine Allen how much your neighbor would appreciate you coming home with a semi full of parts!!

He can kiss my @****.......

Oh, speaking of neighbor stories..... I just lost out big time in the neighbor lottery. It's quite ironic too.

Some of you read the story about my across-the-street crazy neighbor calling me into the street on two different occasions with some yelling and screaming at me that I'm bringing down the property values (No parts cars are ever kept outside. They go from a trailer to my garage.) and that he can't stand to see what I occasionally bring home.

Well, recently the house beside me went up for sale. Guess who bought it.... Crazy Neighbor's son!! How's that for ironic. I can't imagine that he'd advise his son to buy a house next to one that he accused of being a junkyard and driving down property values.

Now I'm nearly surrounded. :(

I'm surprised to see this stuff is still around. There are abandoned car laws here in WI that don't allow that (mainly towns and cities). The DNR has shut down all the country junkyards. I had a 61 chevy parts car parked behind a building and within a week the police were telling me to junk it or face fines. You don't realize how valuable parts cars are until you're restoring one and have to hunt and pay for every little part, or forget how something goes together or what the correct fastener was, or what part went there, and on and on and on.

I was thinking, maybe I could buy a bunch of those tarp garages and hide 'em , hmmmmmmm.

Is this stuff allowed to be posted it's enough to make a grown man cry:(

No the story of cops saying junk it or face fines is enough to make anyone cry. Thats just sickning.

I can't find anything for older parts cars really up here in Canada. The one local place with tons of cars charges as much as new parts are for used ones. The owner aint got a clue. It's really a shame. There's quite a bit of stuff there I would buy if it wasn't like getting insulted everytime you ask for a price.

Here two more that I forgot to post:

Here's a 69:

Man, there has to be a couple of bumpers and a hood in there for me?

Need more cars to cry about? How about some 1st generations?

I believe this is a 63:

This hood is still pretty good. I looked at it a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely no rot behind where the hood lip molding goes.

This guy is an idiot, everyone knows you stack the 72's on top!!! DUH!!! :D :D :D

If you're taking orders, I could use that beige '61 flat top behind the green nova (restoring a beige 2 dr. flat top Impala, AZ car).

I was just thinking what else is there, you're just showing the novas!!!

Reminds me of some guys back in the early 80's who were scrounging old small town dealerships for NOS 55-57 chevy stuff. They hit the motherload in our area before we even had a clue this stuff was available. The shame was they left all the nova, impala and who knows what else NOS. To them it was worthless. By the time they wised up and went back the party was over, all the stuff was junked or bought up.

I'd pay money just to walk that junkyard for a day. It's a vintage car show!

All the salvage yards around here have nothing older than 85 or 86. All the old stuff has been picked apart and crushed. Yards like that are very rare. The laws that are in place now does not allow the start of a new salvage yard, all you can do is buy one already in operation. But you still wont have cars like that.

I sent you a PM


Better bring a lunch because it'll take you ALL day!! That's just to go throught he Chevys. Then start on the other makes..Ford, Dodge etc....

You wouldn't believe how many Impalas there are there! There are so many they are double stacked. Novas are usually single stacked!

Are there any Late Model Cars in that yard?

Are there any Late Model Cars in that yard?
Yep, they have everything. Last time I was there, I saw a complete 1965 Malibu SS sitting the the parking lot. It was very rough but complete.

http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o166/StarRacing/MVC-020S.jpg

This guy is an idiot, everyone knows you stack the 72's on top!!! DUH!!! :D :D :D

I believe most of the engine compartment stuff is still in the 72 on the bottom because you can't get the hood open far enough. The 73 on top still has some smog stuff I believe.

Looks like a Interesting place.

Quit it Ron, you're killin' me!

Quit it Ron, you're killin' me!

No kidding I haven't seen that many old cars in a yard since the 70's when my Dad use to hunt for 56 f*rd parts.:eek: I'd be lucky to find a 4th gen up here.

Quit it Ron, you're killin' me!

The '67 Impala? Looks like it used to have big block emblems?

I wish there was yards like that around here ...

Yep, you can still make out the cross flags. Big block car.

So will you let me know where this is?? Not FLAP or WH, at least where the 1st gens are??

I already asked him, and I will never tell!!;)

FLAP was a great guess. They have several Novas there. That also is a HUGE yard. WH I don't think has many older cars anymore. Check your PM

I knew it wasn't FLAP, I know most every Nova there. And have taken more then a few home with me. WindyHill isn't even worth going to anymore.

Christys, thats the one I PM'd you about, just remembered their name. But they only have the one '62 4door. And it's a pile.

Don't know the name of the other I mentioned, but they only have 2 1st gens and 1 or 2 3rd's and they are all crap.

I did find a 70 venturaII and a 74 SS sitting pretty much side by side yesterday, soon enough they will be sitting in my shop for a chop!!!

I think we need to hold a StevesNovaSite Meet in your town and visit that yard. I would be up for it. Would be awesome to be able to walk through that place and look at all the oldies.

That is at least a couple of million in scrap at present scrap prices

Yep, lots of engine items, brackets, pulleys, exhaust manifolds bolts. I saw a pile of 9 inch 3rd members the last time I was there. They have buses full of intakes, distributors, alternators, starters, carbs, etc....

Greetings,

Looks like the EPA hasn't made it there yet! They've been striking a lot of the junkyards around here the last few years, making it almost impossible to find anything for older cars.

I need a good hood too! Just not worth a trip with the trailer just for the hood though. That yard was a once in a lifetime experiance for me. Kind of miss it too.

How about the car sitting up to the top of the rockers in the water? That car made me nervose to breath in! :eek:

greetings,
believe it or not, we dont have anything like that here in oklahoma (at least anything that ive found) either. for a split second i considered flying up there but the wife would kill me if i did. man, thats impressive though. makes me day dream...
tell me again how recent those photos are?

They are about 5 years old.

i could fall in love with a place like that

I would start takin the chrome windo trim off of all of them, you could probably make about $500 or more off of just that.

The bright trim around the door and quarter windows have been hit hard already. I don't think there's any left of that stuff.

Sadist... :mad:


;)

so where exactly are these tresure troves?:confused:

they look amazing:D

This thread makes me sad. :( All of those great cars.

If anyone lives near a scrap yard that has these things mixed up inside and can find a '73 Hatchback (I assume the '74 would work too) rotting away, I need the little "boot" bases that hold the Hatchback bars in place (not sure what the actual name is for them). I posted a thread about it in the classifieds, but I figure it wouldn't hurt to mention it again in these parts.

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/8770/001wq1xu2.jpg

Mine are cracked, split, and well...old. :p I'm looking to replace both the left and right bases, so please if anyone can find me a pair, I'd gladly buy them off of you if you can pick them up for me (or if anyone knows of a dealer that sells reproductions).

You lucky dogs, the only junk yard around here that has anything old is a closed yard so I can't go walk around, and none of the crapy junk yards around here are open on the WEEKENDS :mad: :mad: :mad: so I never get a chance to go walk through any of the other junk yards unless I want to take a day off work!

when i saw this i just thought id share some pictures i took late last summer. not half as many cars but still some valuable stuff left. only a handful of novas though. this one is located in the northeast. sorry these are huge.

we went here just to take the tour. wasnt looking for anything in particular. we plan on making a return trip though. i grabbed a non faded side fender directional light since one of them on my car is faded from the sun. that was it. lots of good hoods, fenders, trunks and some doors for many older cars as you can see. this place is planning on weeding out the old cars for scrap.

I saw the one Nova had the bright trim on the door and rear window.

Looks like a good home for snakes out there with those cars! :eek:

I don't mind the snakes so much but all the wood ticks. Yuk! Once you find one, you constantly feel like something's crawling on ya.

Evidence is one thing, but when you open the trunk of a car in the yard and see a live Racoon, that gets your attention. Lots of mice too!

Hey guys maybe the locations should not be posted. China is very hungry for steel !

Is that a Blue GTO Judge in the lower corner?

Evidence is one thing, but when you open the trunk of a car in the yard and see a live Racoon, that gets your attention. Lots of mice too!

ALWAYS hit the car a couple times BEFORE you open the trunk, doors, ect...if there is evidence that it hasn't been touched in a long time! That will get the critters attention and if you hear a scuffling, wait a minute. Give them a chance to get out before you go in after some "treasure".;) I ALWAYS wear my steel toe work boots too. You never know what stuff you are kicking through in some of those yards!:eek:

havent run into any animals yet but bees can be a pain looking in these cars in the summer.

Anybody else have any good rotting photos?

(who found evidence of a snake in a Nova)

I found some snake skin in the back floor board and under the back seat.That was when I got the car in 04.

I wish I could find a single 73-74 in my area that I could buy parts off of.

The only guy that has one in a wrecker near me charges the price of new parts. Old rotten pressure line? $40-$50 they don't know for sure how much. Once you have it off they'll tell you. Rear trunk? I needed one of those. Anywhere between $60 and $150 and oh ya, we can't give you a firm price until it's off and ready to go.

In Richmond Va area. I'd probably get it if I were at home.

http://richmond.craigslist.org/pts/494109428.html

Some of those dont look half bad!

Try this website classicindustries.com if your looking for parts for your Novas.

The worst part about these pics is that all of those "junked" cars are all in better shape than what most of us started with on our projects.:(:(

Well the good news is it's not a $1 so your not missing anything.He did this to attract attention he wants something like $1000 for it:eek:

:( ..... Most of those cars look like they have a usable bench seat. WHY can't there be anything like that around here?!? Grrrr...... :mad:

Anybody else have any good rotting photos?

This one is a rusty 1962 Chevy II that's been sitting in my folk's neighbors field since about 1988. The owner is the son of the neighbor, and said he tried selling it once, but couldn't find anyone that wanted to buy it. It still has the inline 6 with the 3 speed manual, a hole in the windshield, rear window looks like it's been smashed out now (used to be there last time I got up close to car), pop riveted sheet metal floor boards, interior is virtually non existent.

This one is a friend of mine's 1969 Camaro. I met him back in 1989 when we were kids in the 5th grade. His dad was driving it then, and passed it down to his son in hopes he'd get out and restore it and learn something about cars. Problem is this guy is a country boy and would rather have his truck before the Camaro, and has always talked of "restoring it one day", but yet he still lives at home with mom and dad and only works when he wants to, and in my opinion has little work ethic, so the Camaro sits. Meanwhile he's turned down plenty of offers to sell it, but said he might consider selling for $5000 or he'd trade for a 1958 Impala. The Camaro hasn't ran in over 10 years, the engine and trans need rebuilt. If he'd take $2000 for it I'd be putting in a rebuilt engine and trans about now and would at the least have it running.

I'd give him $5000 for that, and if I didn't I know atleast 5 people who would. Too bad you're so far away.

You'd give $5k for it eh? Even though it's a northern rust belt car?

Your damn right we'd give 5k for that !! Body doesn't look bad and it looks whole. I would buy it if it were closer ... and I know more than 5 people who would too..

Well he's in Indiana, and last I remember the car needed rockers and quarters I think, not sure about the underbody...and the front header panel was introduced to either a pole or a tree. I know it definitley needs an engine, a transmission and an interior. It's just a standard plain jane Camaro. I believe it's an original V8/manual trans car, not sure though. It still has it's 4 wheel drums and I'm pretty sure an 8.2 rear axle.

Maybe one of you can offer him a running 58 Impala so he won't be so reluctant to let someone (who actually will restore it) fix it up....? :D

Heck I might offer $5K for that if wasn't so far!We see guys selling the VIN #'s for $3K on ebay imagine what a whole car would get!:D

Where at in INdiana is the car, I might be interested in it.

strip those cares for original parts :)

I have just been to a place rather close to me that still has a lot of Nova's and Ventura's that are still almost whole! I was in heaven this past weekend! Got some good glass, a trunk lid and 2 drivers doors that were virtually rust free, and some good rear stainless trim. The doors had everything on them/ in them to boot! Might eventually pull a shell out of there because the 70 I'm working on now was worse then the one in the yard and I live in the rust belt. But opinions on what's good varies.

where is this? I could use some parts.

Where is this junk yard at?
Im in Minneapolis.

I just bought a '72, so this information would be great!

I know it has been a few months since the post about the 69 camaro but was wondering if the guy still has it and if you can give me more info on it.
Thanks,Bill

Yeah he still has it, it's a plain jane model, 4 wheel drum brakes, needs the 350 rebuilt in it and the TH350 auto needs redone too, believe it's an 8.2 rear, I think it was a 4 speed car originally, it's not an SS or a Z28 or anything like that, originally Le Mans blue I think, last I checked he has turned down every offer on it. Been sitting 10 + years and 7 + before that. Trust me I'd buy it if he'd sell it to me as I am a friend.

any of those cars have the low back 1970 nova bucket seats? i can't find those anywhere for under $600 in horrible condition. It is just crazy prices for nova parts out here.
