There is another oldtimer in Wind Gap, PA that did
the same thing. There were many old pontiacs, cadillacs, chevys(50's vintage) and the like throughout his yard. The yard was called Hawkies. He was an eccentric, knoweledgable old man and very particular about what he sold you. The prices were often quite reasonable but sometimes he would beat you up on a part. I think he measures the price on the look of determination on your face when you find the part you need.

I remember once talking with him about 12 years ago when Japan was buying up everything 'old cars' (Mercs, Big Blok chevys.. etc.) and exporting them to Japan. He told me that several Japanese buyers stopped in and wanted to buy up all his Chevy Big Bloks, get them crated and delivered to a NJ port for export. Old Hawkie said he chased them off.
