The Stampie's Junkyard Tour 2017

We're up in SC visiting my mom. One of the things Lil Stampie and I like to do is visit the local mechanic's yard. He's a great guy and really takes care of my mom's vehicles including her tractor and lawn mower. 

First we have a Wagoneer that looks great from the road.

Looks even better inside.

Until you see the engine fire. He said a guy is buying it to transfer his northern engine and harness over so at least it'll live on. 

Next we have a nice looking Bronco. 

Inside is nice also.

Does have rust on the driver's rear wheel well. He says this is running, driving, with title "make offer."

Then this thing. I thought it was a Daihatsu pickup but then I notice Honda wheel caps.

Inside has right hand drive.

It's a Honda ACTY.  Mid engine AWD. I had all kinds of dirty thoughts about it. 

Must. Go. There.

(off to Google ACTY)

AWD? Love them even more now.

That Honda is cool.. When does the build thread start???

OK iffen yu do this ................do the stickies stay? if not then walk away

A friend of mine has one of those Honda minitrucks, he uses it for maintenance around the resort he owns.  Mid engine and all wheel drive, plus an enclosed cab with heat and a/c, makes for a nice all year round utility vehicle.

Love the Brat style rear seating.   That Wagoneer  may be worth saving.   I've said it before, below the Mason Dixon line has some real gems. Just love junk yard creeps.

I didn't ask about the Honda as it seemed to be in a section a little seperated from the yard. It had current tags on it so I assume it was a customer's. 

Good finds! 

I really like that bronco.  

Is that manual Bronco an inline 6? I've been on and off searching for one for years. They're shockingly hard to find and I worry that in the time I've been looking they've gotten too expensive to casually drag home. 

In reply to mazdeuce - Seth :

If you want I can ask for you. But how hard would it be to swap in a 6 if it's a V8?

In reply to Stampie :

Ryan Eversly has one of those and loves it.
