Few wagons in the yard

Last weekend Lynol and I went to our favorite (and pretty much only) pull it yourself yard. For the first time in over a year there were wagons! They had 3 of them, a 96 LDM RMW tow pack Limtied with trashed heated seats , a TBI caprice (with dealer installed wood) and a TBI RMW. I snagged the usual good parts There was also a 96/96 Blue/blue Caprice 4.3 sedan, base as they get. This is the most B-bodies I have ever seen here, and the first since the trip where we found that smashed Caprice wagon and RMS limo.


The 96 with a ton of miles!





The TBIs

Thought I got more pics of the wood, but this is it


And now some classics:


Anyone know what this thing is? The body looked to be aluminum, 12 cyl flat head engine





I would love to have any one of these:






Cool little cars:

David,did you ask them to position the wagon up on those blocks?Kinda restricts what you can get at underneath
dont it?Pop said it looks like a Lincoln but he hasnt seen one in years.Use to work at a ford dealer back in 47-48
and he says it a lincoln engine.

Nah, if I was getting the axle that would have been convenient. Looks like someone did a bad job hacking one of the cats off it. Maybe it is a lincoln, I couldn't find anything to identify it.

Pop's got it.


I'm surprised the peanut gallery hasn't chimed in yet to say the Lincoln V-12 is a slow and junky engine and it should have an LT1 installed.

1937 four door sedan?

Thanks Al,I will tell him he was correct about the Lincoln.Will make his day knowing he got it right.
When we were kids we always played guess the make and year until Mom would scream at us to
do something else.

Don't worry you didn't miss out. Both front fenders were damaged! It's a shame that car was as beat up as it was, but 300k miles will do that. That wagon worked hard for someone.

Unless you stuffed it in an Allard racing car with a blower. Only competition was the Allards with the V12 Caddy.

Stuck between a block & a hard place.

I can't imagine finding a bugeye Sprite in a yard. That's wild!

Looks like a good yard.

The wood on that one Caprice was funky!

They don't usually have classics here, that was kind of a treat. That caprice had the dealer installed wood on it, I actually kind of like the way it cuts off at the door handles.
