As you read this, depending on what time of the morning or day that it is, Craig Fitzgerald and I are heading to a place called Gates Salvage in Hardwick, Vermont to take in what is the most incredible junkyard sale of vintage cars in forever. EVERY car in the yard’s massive vintage vehicle section is for sale for $500. Trucks can range up to $1,000 but this is acres and acres of classic stuff, much of it desirable. Look, if my arch-nemesis and I can bury the hatchet for nine hours of driving in one day and lots of looking at glorious junk you can tune in for our updates and photos tomorrow.
The place is looking to clean out inventory and they have chosen this method to do it. A Craigslist ad has been circulating around the inter webs over the last couple of days and that is what inspired out trip. Since you have to be present to buy stuff we’re wondering how much has already been snagged from the rather remote location that’s less than one hour from the Canadian border.
We cannot wait to show you all the cool stuff we see. This is going to rule. Check out these teaser photos and the CL ad text. ALSO, READ ABOUT HOW YOU CAN FOLLOW LIVE UPDATES FROM THE DAY BELOW!!
Here’s the text from the ad –
