A Once In A Lifetime Offer: Buy An Entire Salvage Yard Full Of Projects, Plus Property And Buildings, For A Million Dollars!


A Once In A Lifetime Offer: Buy An Entire Salvage Yard Full Of Projects, Plus Property And Buildings, For A Million Dollars!

We have to thank BangShifter Channing Ivey for sending us a link to the fastest way we’d spend a winning lottery ticket ever. There is a place in Tappen, British Columbia, Canada where if you have roughly $1.08 million dollars, you can buy an entire auto salvage yard, complete with a recently renovated home, the property, and the cars that are on the property. And we aren’t talking junk here. While there are some hulks, as can be expected, there is also a lot of useful sheetmetal on the land.

Tappen is east of Kamloops and north of Kelowna in the southern end of the province, and judging from the pictures we can see that it’s a pretty place to live. But let’s be real…we are after the cars…and the restoration shop…and the building that can be converted into a dedicated wrenching spot…and the house. If you are a rich recluse who wants to spend their time fixing up a fleet of what appears to be well-deserving machines, congratulations. We’ve found your property.

The mix of vehicles on site is broad and reaching. There are trucks. There are rows of the major musclecars. There is a row of Tri-Five wagons. As you can see in the picture above, there is what appears to be a T-top American Motors Javelin…which the author cannot recollect ever seeing or even knowing anything about before now! The seller is valuing the vehicles between $350 and $35,000 in Canadian dollars apiece, and he’s not even 100% sure of what is parked in the lot. He purchased this parcel of land after his wife got annoyed with all of the old sleds parked at their farm just up the road.

We sincerely hope a bonafide gearhead jumps on this deal. There is too much good here to pass up.
