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.
If you want to see the yard the address is:
60 weaver hill road
West Greenwich, RI
02817
According to google maps location is called "brant trail"
I certainly didn't see 20,000 cars in the aerial view, I didn't look at the Photobucket link (Photobucket takes like 5 minutes to load here at work for some reason so I don't click on them).

Pan around and follow the road and the forest throughout it all.
If someone finds his house, tell me where, I want to see it, lol.

Saying something is in the middle of nowhere in Rhode Island is an oxymoron. Hell, I think west border is in earshot of the east border. It's right off the Interstate!
You want "middle of nowhere", come out west.

Wow, that's amazing. The government should take it when he dies or whatever and open it up to the public, I bet with some advertising that place would get a LOT cleaner. Hell charge an admission fee and do an all you can take rule and a lot of that stuff will start to clear out.

Thats a lot of cars. The guy who wrote this story should get in contact with his local government and tell someone how much collector cars and parts are in this place. I'm sure the gov't could make more money selling this stuff, even for a low or flat rate, than by crushing them all.

I have been looking for a new project. Would like to find an old GTO or Firebird to restore. I am getting a big surprise with how much these cars are getting. 66 GTO all rusted out with heavy frame rust is going for 0ver 2000. If this guy was smart he would start auctioning them off.
Hmmm..I think some of us near this area should pay the old coot a visit. Bring some cash and haggle ha. Not to far from me.
Reality is, yes you could part out alot of these vehicles but I for one could not afford a "complete" restoration which I'd say almost all of these cars need. For someone who knows the restoration business, etc. this is a gold mine but your gonna need alot of $$ to get some of these back to at least "presentable" condition.

This sounds like the exact story that has been posted before. Only I thought that one was somewhere in the south?
I saw a guy somewhere in the South on the show Hoarders with a similar situation, though he didn't seem to have a drinking problem. He was saving everything to sell parts and scrap metal for his grandchildren, but then the neighbors pushed the state to force him to clean it up.
There is one down here in missouri also but the guy from what I've heard is pretty cool. Its not near as big as this and its all pretty much MoPar. I figured I'd pass the word along and maybe someone can get something they wanted or need. I haven't even had time to make it through the entire photobucket pics.
You have to understand no one even really knows about this place. I got this from a local forum and that guy found it on another forum. Trying to get the word out since the guy refuses to advertise. The state could care less about the cars, they just want it cleaned up. If I wasn't so far away I'd go up there. You could pick a lot of things up for super cheap. I'd love to take about 15 or so trailers up there lol.
