Where is that? It looks like some pics of a place I saw near Gainesivlle, Fl off Williston road.... Don't know the exact location, but I've seen similar pics.

OH MY GOSH!!!! How Saaaaaaaaaad!
Where is that? Please don't tell me it's your backyard. There are yards around here that look like that, except they are filled with American metal....

<edit> Sticken due to some flack from the talk list</edit>
Nope not my yard - mine are under cover most of the time.
<edit> more</edit>these pictures were taken in 2000 by me when we were trying to buy the whole lot (that is what you probably saw on the 356talk list (i posted a link a few years ago). The graveyard is mostly sold now in peices (the silver coupe come through G&W last year actually) the prototype Conv D (in the bushes) is being restored. most of the cars are in good homes and recieving the care they deserve.

Do you have contact info for the site? I'm less than 10 miles away, I'd love to poke around or at least ask. If the owner was into 356s in Gainesville in the late 70s thru the early 90s he/she probably knew my father (and my car).

I'm sick. How could anybody just let them go. I can't go to work. (Any excuse will do!)

On the upside, at least they are back in caring hands...
