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.
Those are just sad to view. There are what use to be some very nice cars (body lines) and a few cadillacs and the mopars I would love to have, but they are so rusted you're right they would make nice parts cars.

IF this makes national press, someone hopefully will step up and auction these cars off. What a shame.
i wonder how many nine inch rear ends there are out there, or bucket seats. i wish i lived closer....
this is a big deal
in all seriousness, look at all the window trim that can be saved. gas caps, if anyone is anal about their restoration, they could even find OEM window glass, instead of new order glass.

I wish this guy would let me wander through the yard. I'm in a photography class and this is exactly what I'm looking for for the project I'm working on. It's so sad to see these cars like this, but it would make for some great photographs and salvaging. Do you have any other contact info?
bkl89, do you mind if i share your post with others on another forum?
PLEASE share this post with anyone forum! I am posting this because I am DISGUSTED by the WASTE of collector cars right down my road. I want people to know about the cars here going to be crushed and rusting into the ground. Maybe this post will save 1 car, if so it will be worth my time I spent taking pictures. I have purchased three cars from this guy and he will sell cars. He got three cars out buried in the woods for me, and even had his guys cut trees down to get them out. He got the cars out without a single scratch. Thanks
