    Money to be made? Help me ID these classics.

    I'm not a HUGE classic car guy. I like old muscle, but these are all pre 60's vehicles. Older guy around here has a junk yard that hasn't been used since the 70's and I've been thinkin about trying to make some money from stripping some of these. Let me know what you think and if there might be any money to be made by parting them out. I'm gonna be going out there this week to take some more updated pics. Also, let me know if ya'll, or anyone you know may be looking for something. Now for the pics:

    i believe they are all 50s model chevys, the original chrome pieces used to have value but they are hard to remove without damaging, and with places like OPG, you can get aftermarket pieces for alot less, if the front clips are not damaged that bad they can have some value because most are smashed, i cleaned up an old salvage yard not to long ago and searched the net and talk to collectors and things i thought were valuable were not, just because of the huge aftermarket scene now, honestly cars in that shape you can fet more for at a scrap yard most the time cars are going for about 140$ a ton so you can get about 300$ per car, although you might wanna get on some collector car forums and ask, because guys are always looking for the 2 doors, and if that wagon is a Nomad, then def get it and start looking for a buyer nomad wagons are a hot item no matter the condition, ex father inlaw was gonna buy a restored one for 125 G's so they are def worth digging out and putting them on the net, find out if its a nomad

    That's a gold mine you got there. I am sure someone somewhere is looking for stuff that is there. If it is just minor surface rust even better.

    that 49 ford with the bullet nose may have some value and that old double headlight car looks promising, also the 2 old trucks you might wanna look into.

    Several pics of the same 1957 Chevy 210. One pic of a '56 210 or Bel Aire. One or two pics of a '57 wagon (Nomads were 2-door). All worth something. Wagon the least most likely.

    Then the '38 or '39 pickup (good value), '49 F*** sedan has very little value beyond the front sheet metal because it has too many doors, the next pic has a worthless focal point but a worthy pickup in the background and a worthy Studebaker beside it. The Falcon and the Model A look a like are worth something too.

    In the last set I see the GMC I mentioned above. It's in bad shape but looks to be a 5-window cab that makes it worth a lot more. I'd guess it's a '48-50. If the corner windows are not broken and it's relatively intact, it should be worth a good amount. We had a GMC 5-window about that vintage in about that shape (although it was a super-rare "Hydramatic" auto) that sold for about $3K.

    Thanks for chiming in GG. I'm trying to figure out what I should put most of my effort towards. Old man has a few early 60's impalas out there too that I'm gonna check out. These were some quick pics that a buddy took earlier this year.
