Wow!  Where is this place?  I've never seen so many junked vettes in one spot.  There seem to be the remains of (what used to be) some valuable cars in there.  It's too bad they're just wasting away.

Adam, that truly is a terrible sight. All that wreckage--including what looks to be a '96 Grand Sport, judging by the blue and white-striped roof?

How very sad. But thanks for sharing it here. Just underscores how valuable our own Sharks are to us...

Very sad, yes, but I view it as opportunity.  I was able to get some very valuable parts for my car from one that looked as bad as these.

I'm with you - I used to love walking through junk yards just finding little treasures.  I'd love to go through this one!!



I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Contemporary Corvette advertises in all of the major Vette mags. They do a tremendous business in used parts. Hopefully out of the numerous Vettes RIP'ing there, hundreds of others get the restoration parts they need....
 
I thought I noticed some C4 square tail lights a la ZR1 ??

I agree. A valuable resource of donor cars.
