I've been hearing about this place for a few months.  It is a couple of miles from my house.  An old codger has owned the place forever.  He has about 80-100 acres in an area that has become an elite location in Utah (Highland) for new home developments.  I guess his kids finally talked him into selling the place.  The place is loaded with old cars, trucks, tractors, farm implements - you name it and it is probably there.  They are going to auction the cars off on Saturday - so they opened the place up for a couple of days so people can go in and look around.  I was walking around taking some pictures and one of the guy's kids came up to me and said that I had better take the pictures now because no one has every been allowed on the property until today and the cars will be all be sold on Saturday.  There are cars and trucks ranging from the 1930's up to the 1970's.  There are quite a few MOPARs - 1950 era - Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, etc.  He has three (3) 1970 era Plymouth Dusters.  One is a Gold Duster with a slant 6 in it.  The other is a 1975 Duster with a V-8 (318 or 340), 4-speed.  Most everything is in pretty good shape for the ages of them.  However, no Chargers, Daytona's, Superbirds, or 426 Hemi's :'(  Will post up a few pictures.

I can't believe so many cars are that complete. Was it open for business before this?

Thanks for the heads up! :cheers:
Will you post the address? I happen to be off this Saturday & am looking for a good excuse to get out of what I had planned for the day. :smilielol:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

It's called the Buehler Ranch.  Take I-15 south to Thanksgiving Point (I-15 north if you are south of Lehi).  Take the Highland/Alpine exit and go east on SR-92 towards American Fork Canyon.  Go down through Dry Creek past the Micron plant.  Take the first right (heading south) as soon as you cross Dry Creek and go south down to 10400.  Turn east on 10400 and go a few blocks further - it is on the south side of the road - you can't miss it.

It was never open for any business - because it wasn't a business.  It was the guy's private property.  His kid said he was a pack rat.  People would come by and ask him if he wanted the stuff - cars, etc. and he would take them and put them back on his acreage and threatened people with death if they trespassed on his property.

Brock,
I would venture to say that you haven't seen one of these old Studebakers in years, either :icon_smile_big:

Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

Thanks for the directions, Old Guy. :)
Even if I don't drag anything home, I'd still like to go pickin' around there for an hour or so. There's definitely some neat stuff there. :yesnod:

Charger Fan,
Here is a map link to the place:
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=5879+w+10400+n&city=highland&state=ut&zipcode=
The actual address is 5879 W 10400 S, Highland, Utah.
If you are coming over Saturday, there is a car show sponsored by the Utah County Peace Officers.  It is being held from 11am - 5pm.  Location is 5381 W 10400 N in Highland - in a park just 5 blocks due east on 10400.  Stop by, I plan to be there with my 69 green Charger.
