Last Cars Reviews Blog: Ever Found “Your” Car in the Junkyard?

For those of us who own and work on cars built in the last couple of decades, the question may not seem so meaningful. But when your pride and joy falls a little further back, it’s a rare occurrence to find your car still rusting peacefully at the local junkyard. This weekend, Jen and I were both completely blown away by the inventory at All American Classics, but when I stumbled upon not one but four 1966 Impalas, including this yellow 327 Super Sport, I totally lost it. What amazed me even more was the incredible amount of good useable parts that remained on these cars–I wanted to take everything, and I guess now I understand a little better why the shelves in our garage are lined with enough Ford Escort parts to build a whole ‘nother one of Jen’s cars. Luckily, I’d left my credit card at home–but I still left with a trunk full of really cool stuff and I’m sure it won’t be long before I find myself going back for more.

How about you–ever found your rare or classic car at the junkyard?
