Looking for recent car mag article - help

[RacerX]

Hey guys/gals

About a month ago at Border's I read an article in one of the major car mags (Car & Driver, Road & Track, Motor Trend, or Automobile) about this guy who has a junkyard here in California, although he calls it a "museum". Dude has like 200-300 cars all sitting out in the open; he doesn't sell parts off em, he just likes the cars. I can't find which mag it was now. I should've bought the damn issue.
Here's why: I have a 1976 Caddy Fleetwood that I need to get rid of and can't. I would like to get hold of the junkyard dude and give him the Caddy free. I can't / don't want it to go to Pick-a-Part and it's kinda rusty and doesn't run. (Don't suggest donating it either) I need to get rid of the car soon and other options are running out.

If any of you have this magazine, or know for sure which mag or issue it is, LMK.

Thanks
R

It's from C&D from a few months ago. I want to say the August or Sept. issue. I remember the article, Ron. The dude was "out there". [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Sorry, don't have mine anymore, though. I remember reading it while on vacation. Threw it out before the long drive home.

Thanks, bibz! You just went near the top of my awesome list! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Looks like the article is archived also:

Now, why didn't the C&D search engine pick that up when I searched last week? Hmmm

Hey all, I was able to sleuth Tom Merkel's phone number and eventually got him on the line. He said I was only the 2nd person to contact him after the article published. He is interested in my Cadillac, and it seems it will be picked up around Nov 2.

He is a pretty interesting guy, very mellow, and seemed real interested in my Cadillac background and funny car & bike stories. Also got invited to the "Ranch" , maybe next year I will check it out. 1200 cars! [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Cool, the tow guy (called himself Beno [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ) showed up on Thursday and took my baby away! Ah well, going to a better place where all the other Caddies will be jealous!

Now I get to park the Buick on the driveway again - YAY!
