Heres the pics I took.
This guy has collected HUNDREDS of acres of cars! NOBODY knows about this place. Its in the middle of nowhere in RI. The owner is working on CRUSHING all these vintage cars! He has been instructed by the state to get rid of all the cars. It will take years to crush all these cars and the owner is 70 years old. I have no idea what will become of the largest junkyard I have ever seen. Nobody knows of this place. Thousands of these classics will go to waste. Here is mostly mustang pictures I took . There us Hundreds of 64-71 Mutangs. Boss, mach 1, many many convertibles, K codes, fastbacks… Maybe shelbys? The owner is crazy. He’s always drunk is very hard to deal with. He’s in another world. He said he personally DROVE nearly all the cars in a field in the 60’s-70 and left them there for dead. Many are rusted beyond repair. But there still many parts cars. It will take about two weeks of walking 5 hours a day to see all the cars here. Plus many of them are so buried in overgrown trees and prickers there is no way to see them. I seen a dozen complete 392 hemi cars. This guy refuses to advertise, so nobody knows about it. Believe it or not the guy is still buying cars and driving them in the woods. The last time i was there the owner bought a running 60’s mustang and drove it in the woods to be left for dead.
Some people may see these pictures and see this and think this mess is illegal, well it may be, but the state is aware of it and they have ordered him to clean it up. He is cleaning it, just very slowly. He is 70 years old and when he dies or goes fully blind (he is almost blind) The junkyard will be taken over by the state and over 20,000 classic cars will be destroyed. I do not have the owners phone number. He will sell parts or cars, but is hard to deal with and if you go there he will usually walk you to the car you need parts for if he’s not too drunk. He will not let you wander around the yard by yourself to look at whatever you want.
I know I will get endless emails about this so I will give you all the info I have right here.
If you want to see this massive junkyard from a map view I found it on google maps. You can see the cars scattered in the woods.
According to google maps location is called “brant trail”. Scroll over from that location and follow the trail of junk in the woods.Heres a direct link.

that guy better have one sick mustang with all those to take parts from. ugh what a waste. thats a car restorer’s dream tho just for all the molding on all the cars along with glass etc
This isn’t the one that was on ebay for a LONG ass time was it?
wow
id like to buy it as a whole. that would be awesomeeee.
He originally posted on Camaros.net. I posted it a while back on my site too. Looks like the guy liked (or hated) Mustangs.
The cars look only good for parts. Rotted to shit.
Would be kinda fun to go and check it out.
no, i know the one you speak of. that was the guy that had busloads (literally) of parts, all sorted out by make
there have actually been a few junkyards on ebay, this is probably the shittiest junkyard ive seen, no order, no reason, dude just seams to like having perfectly good cars go to waste
kinda like a serial killer that shows his love for women by stuffing them in the closet and letting them die
edit: the one ebay junkyard had an asking price of 1.5 million and actually had a number of complete cars inside in spectacular unrestored condition … parked inside buildings and cargo containers, intakes hanging on walls, all sorts of primo stuff …that one was truly a collectors dream
ughh i would love to make a cheap rat rod project
This is beyond insane, considering the fact that no one has ever found it in that long amount of time!
There obviously has to be something wrong with the guy, who would let all that shit go to waste?
Big pile of junk if you ask me.
I have no idea what would drive someone to do that, what a waste. At least it’s been found and now the owner can’t do that anymore.
They have said that the land owner has some “issues”. And has chased people off the property with a gun. But he drove every car back there to let it die.
so thats where all the mustangs went
I bet someone who knew what they were looking for could make a killing off that place. The truth is though that looking at the pictures, 90% of that stuff is rotted junk now. Yes it is said, but I don’t even think 10% of those car could be restored.
To make it at all profitable you would need some serious man power and motivation as well as a plan.
Step 1: gather all tires and remove them from the property. -$$$$$
Step 2: gather all sheet metal and non important parts laying on the ground and scrap them. Might brake even on man power vs scrap so lets call this =$$$$$
Step 3: doze an area, a large are where all the car bodies can be placed. Possibly gather up rail road ties to put them on. -$$$$$
Step 4: get rid of all the 1980+ body cars for scrap. +$$$$$
Step 5: sell all old car bodies complete on ebay. +$$$$$
In the end you might bake even on this investment. Not to mention the years of hard work. At least you would keep about 25 people employed every summer.
God I love stories like these!!!
Group buy of the junkyard anyone???
On a side note:
I hate that the state can tell you to get ride of your cars. Eat my ass
that is sooo cool i really would like to just walk around and see what he has to ofer…i bet u he dnt pay attention to it so you probally can go in the back too ahaha
:picard:
kinda reminds me of the sandlot , i bet he had a big killer dog to keep everyone out
