Million Dollar Junkyard for Sale, closed in 1979, full of rusty gold

Alabama junkyard full of classics finally for sale after closing in 1979. But it's the cars only!


Million Dollar Junkyard full of classic cars for sale in Alabama! This small town family junkyard closed in 1979 in north Alabama. Hundreds of classic cars from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s were collected by the Brooks family as a hobby/family junkyard. Initially, the junkyard was a joint venture by two brothers. The family has decided to sell off the cars. It was not an easy decision. For years they were unable to call the recycler to scrap out the place because the cars have too many memories. The day they never thought would come is here. All the cars and trucks, muscle cars, rare wagons, and convertibles must go! 


Frank Brooks is selling the hundreds of classic cars in the family junkyard.



DETAILS: CARS ONLY, NOT LAND
If you decide to buy or make an offer, there is one catch. The $1M buys just the cars. You will have six months to move them out. After six months a rental fee will be charged to the buyer if all cars not removed. Also, seller says that you may not run a business out of the property. Using the property as a car lot to sell off the vintage vehicles is not an option. 
Buy them all, move them and do what you want. The seller knows it will be an involved process. Trees will have to be cut down to avoid damaging the cars during removal. Final negotiations will be worked out with Frank who is featured in the video. Send me an email with your contact info.

I will pass along your contact info to Frank if you email me at: junkyardbull@gmail.com
To help me, put as subject line in email: Million Dollar Junkyard


Drop a comment if you see something interesting or have a fact about what you see out there. I barely scratched the surface.

Thanks for watching!

FOR SALE: 1936 Packard Eight Sedan

1936 Packard Eight sedan grille and swan hood ornament

Can't hide money? We're helping out a seasoned hot rod buddy from Tennessee sell his 1936 Packard Eight Sedan. We hauled the 4,800-lb beast back to Alabama last week. She's solid, has original paint, and loads of new chrome. Handles, bumpers, headlights, tail lights, hood ornament/radiator cap, and running board trim all rechromed or replaced. Has all new tinted glass and window felt. It rolls on 17-inch wire wheels. Notice it has six wheels. Two spares are tucked into the sides of the sweeping front fenders. Our buddy, John, spent loads of money on it since he purchased and is ready to send it to a new owner.

Look at that!
All original. Black fenders and deep Packard Blue paint on the body is a sight to behold. The interior even has the original upholstery as well and is in great condition. Factory Motorola radio mounted under dash. Packard labeled these the 14th Series and this is a 1401 Club Sedan.

And... you get to work on it too
The 320 cubic-inch eight cylinder engine gets warm very quick. Previous owner replaced the radiator but the "overheating" issue remains. Has a n
ew air cleaner and filter. The three-speed floor shift synchromesh transmission shifts smooth. Out back the lower trunk access door needs wood frame to complete assembly and make functional. This is a beautiful car that needs just a little work to finish.

Investment
This Packard is a great place to hide you money. That's what our gear head mind tells us. Who knows what the economy will do but this rare classic will always look good in the garage, car show, or as a wedding event car. 
Come get it.


Price: $45,000
