Cool to see but it looks like a lot of these cars are too far gone. Nice patina on some of the 40's trucks though.

And manages to stretch the definitions of both "gem" and "barn find" in a single sentence...
I don't see the barn 
I don't see a single car really worth saving in the whole lot. The only thing I see is financial heartburn for anyone who tries unless one of those mustangs was a 428 car.
We have had quite a few show up in quarries around here, only they were stolen, stripped and pushed into flooded quarries.
This gets at one of my pet peeves. I think the term "barn find" means a complete, solid, unmolested car that was pushed into the barn and forgot about many years ago, basically leaving you with a very dusty time capsule. Those are special. A car with the drivetrain, interior, glass and front fenders missing is not a barn find. It is not valuable. It is not special. I don't care what you saw on Barrett Jackson. The rusty shell is not a treasure. Its an old piece of tin. Its not worth thousands. In most cases its not worth hundreds. Sorry, just ranting, I do that.
Yeah. Looks like junk to me . But the picture of the mustang humping the Camaro is funny.

I don't think the mustang is humping the camaro. I think its more like Hannibal Lector or Leatherface cutting the face off their victim and wearing as a disguise.
Few could be saved and it's debatable whether any are worth saving...

I was thinking someone drained a quarry and found a bunch of old cars. Wasn't too far off considering the state of pretty much all of those cars pictured.
pieces could have value.. I saw a flathead ford and various other cars that had potential for the person with the ambition and vision
I can't help but find humor in the fact that what was a perfectly mundane (but certainly cool) junkyard in the days of my youth has become newsworthy today.

the 40ish ford delivery. and i need the headlight surround from the chevelle.
The 55 Pontiac hardtop looks fairly solid, but missing all the chrome, and that gets expensive on 50s cars.
Came in expecting a weird sequal to Snakes on a Plane, leaving disappointed.
I was picturing a Top Gear event of extreme ridiculousness:
