Imagine a secret junkyard frozen in time somewhere around the 70's with every bit of vintage hardware stretching for hundreds of acres. Classic Mustangs, Camaros, Cadillacs, Hemis; you name it, it's here. But not for long: The law man's saying to crush 'em. Massive mega-gallery below along with the location and what you can do to save them.

Rhode Island authorities have ordered this illicit junkyard crushed immediately, but such an undertaking takes time. Word says that these cars are slowly marching towards the fateful crusher, but there is hope. The owner goes by the name of JR and he's willing to make a deal. For the address, you've gotta swear to not go trampling around this guy's backyard without his permission. That's uncool to start, but what's more, you might be on the receiving end of a rock salt salvo. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Now that we've got that out of the way, this dream junkyard can be found here, which is in the forests of Rhode Island. If any readers decide to purchase some vintage iron from said junkyard, drop us a few pictures at tips@jalopnik.com. Happy hunting.

Mustangs are unibodies. IF they’ve been sitting long enough for the chassis to sink into the dirt and rust away, then they are ruined anyway. Salvage some of the chrome trim, lights and maybe some of the windows are still good. That’s about all. Otherwise it’s all junk

Mustangs are awesome. Why did they let all of those great cars go to waste?

It’s too bad that they weren’t in the drier West, where they wouldn’t have rusted.

According to the Left, all cars should be scrapped. Or at least those made before 2004. Detroit’s big 3 agree.
