It doesn't seem far from where you live. I wish there were yards like this where I live, they're all just about gone now. Any yard around me today is just a scrap yard, and vehicles are stripped of parts then crushed and sent off to be melted or put on a ship to China. Actually, there is one junk yard left that I know of, in Morrisville, PA: http://www.junkyardbarbie.com/ Looks like I can get in for free with my fire dept ID, but no cameras are allowed. Maybe if I tell her I'm writing a story for C&G she'll let me take pictures
August 29, 201213 yr Never been. Didn't even know it existed. Might have to go someday. Not really just around the corner, but not too far. Saw a few worth saving in those pics!
August 29, 201213 yr That Shelby's really nice. holy hell, I was expecting a Mustang. I would try to save that early 70's Z28. She's too pretty for the salvage yard.
August 29, 201213 yr Author It would be a neat place to do a story on. You've gotten me interested in doing a story. Any suggestions on the type of questions I could ask? I've got the first one down - Why'd you start this business? - but beyond that I've already gotten writer's block
August 29, 201213 yr It would be a neat place to do a story on. You've gotten me interested in doing a story. Any suggestions on the type of questions I could ask? I've got the first one down - Why'd you start this business? - but beyond that I've already gotten writer's block Always at least consider the who, what, when, where, how & why questions. How has the business changed, what period/circumstances did you prefer & why? Best singular deal / rarest vehicle thru the yard? How has Gov't regulation impeded on biz? What's your vision/plan for the future / how long to you intend to continue the business? Will you consider willing your business to balthazar of Central Jersey??
