1961 Chevrolet Bel Air Flattop, & etc.

Can you spot the '61 Bel Air? It's blue.
From Driving.ca : "Mike Hall has a deal that his real estate ad describes as a lifetime opportunity that is perfect for the vintage auto enthusiast who loves to work and live in a beautiful area. The five acres he has for sale is alongside Highway 1 at Tappen, British Columbia – a one-hour drive west of Kamloops BC and 10 minutes from Salmon Arm on Shuswap Lake...

 "For $1.45 million (Canadian!) the successful buyer gets the property zoned for auto salvage, a renovated house, a 900-square-foot restoration shop, a 1,200-square-foot steel building and enough steel beams and rafters to build 8,000 square feet of covered space.
"Oh, and he’ll throw in more than 340 vintage vehicles. He values the cars and trucks at anywhere from $500 to $35,000 each.
"When pressed, Hall doesn’t know exactly how many cars he has – but more than 340, and very likely considerably more. He admits to buying at least 40 more cars since originally listing the property for $1.19 million a year ago. The cars and trucks he has collected over the past 40 years are lined up across the property like an old drive-in theatre."

  1. The price metal recyclers pay for scrap metal depends on the prevailing market rate, which in turn determines the price the scrap metal dealers will pay the junkyard for your car.
