I have mentioned this yard has some cool stuff. Today, I wasn't in such a rush so I took some pics of what I have been talking about.
First, every yard you're in you see some bizarre fixes. I liked this one on what once once an expensive Town & Country minivan. This is the driver's door.
Hot rodders like Buick's old giant finned aluminum brake drums. This early '60's Electra had the full set up.
In the early '90's, one of the few interesting sedans being built was the Pontiac Bonneville SSEi. They had the supercharged 3.8 ltr V6. I swear this one could've been driven out of there. Beyond the crap repaint, it was complete down to it's 16" snowflakes wheels and rust free.
Any young hot rodder who had a car in the '70's or '80's probably had these on their car. Gabriel HiJackers air shocks allowed for super wide back tires, cool stink bug stance, and really shitty ride.
A '64 Buick Riviera still had a complete 401 nail head in it.
It's finned aluminum drums looked pretty bad, like it was dragged with no tires on it.
There were two '61 Pontiac Tempests in the yard. One coupe, one wagon. Both still had the half of a 389 four banger and transaxles.
Here's that four cylinder that looks like someone took a chop saw to a 389.
This is the transaxle on those Pontiacs. Both an automatics. Interestingly, these cars also had independent rear suspension too. I like the torque converter sitting out the back.
Another Pontiac in the lot had this OHC Sprint six cylinder. It was pretty much complete. This one is the lower horsepower 1 bbl version.I think the car was a '67 Tempest.
The cool cast aluminum valve cover on that Poncho sixer.
A giant '58 Buick sedan had this totally complete nail head.
I really liked the dashboard of pre War American cars like this one on what I believe was a '41 Chrysler sedan. Very art deco. Even like the dash mounted radio speaker.
Check out the cool font on the speedometer on that Chrysler.
An '80 Chevy pickup truck had this engine in it. Very curious. I am not an expert on BOP V8's but it looked like a Pontiac or an Olds. At first I thought it was an Olds 350 diesel until I saw it had spark plugs. The emissions decal on the radiator support said it was a 5.7 ltr. I took a pic of the the truck's VIN number for those who want to investigate.

Just an OHC six without.
