"You should check out the JYs in LA some time lol. "

Only if you really like to be depressed .

I came to California in the Summer of 1969 and was amazed by the acres of rust free vintage cars piles up every where, especially in the Desert East of Los Angeles ~ growing up in rust country and loving old cars this was a real eye opener ~ most of them simply needed $300 worth of work and at that time were difficult to sell so off to the scrapper they went .

For decades I'd buy a $25 vehicle and drive it whilst I tinkered it back to proper health, then I'd get an offer to sell it for maybe $50 profit and off it went, I'd begin anew .

In this manner I was able to own and enjoy a bewildering variety of vintage cars that were at that time just interesting to most at the very best .

Remember : Tom Mix's convertible was left at a service station for a simple valve job and pushed down a gully for many years before being re discovered and thankfully saved .

When I ran a junkyard I made decent $ and sold a load of old cars, I never had unsold parts stacked up like modern yards do ~ I _SOLD_PARTS_ as that's what a profitable business does : SELLS .
