    I bet it was an auto yard with shop that either went out of business or ownership died and it has been sitting for over 40 years. I bet there is a ton of undiscovered gem's buried in that mess. Cool adventure for sure.

      that's what i'm thinking(auto/scrap yard) but probably abandoned in the last 20 years. due to the high humidity there things rust and fall apart significantly faster. but looks like they just moved everything that was on the property into piles and left them there probably so the land around it could be used.

    10:10 Its a '66-'69 Toyota P20 Publica, it has an almost 800cc 2U engine. Fun fact ,the P20 Publica was the basis of the Toyota Sports 800 which was thr precursor to the 2000GT

    If you are near the 246-16 interchange, there were a bunch (or maybe still some) shops that worked on and sold foreign cars. That would be near where Naval Station Kamiseya was and Atsugi is.

I’ve seen big screen old TVs thrown in the middle of a creeks and springs that makes no sense at all! Older people used to have no where to take things so most of them had a hollow or valley that they took metal and old junk to and then they had planned to bury it and some did but some didn’t live long enough and it’s just left there for the next generation to take care of!

Its really sad to see the z just left there to rot and Im not even talking about the corvettes, they gotta be so rare in japan and to see them just rot like this is really depressing.

    Almost certainly an old scrapyard. If it worked anything like scrap yards in the US, those cars were stacked to save space. Over time, they probably became more and more unstable which led to the stacks falling over and depositing some cars upside down. The roof vette and red vette dont even look bad. Probably even savable if you could get paperwork.

  • @carlosarroyo5262

    Given the location I’d say it’s most likely an old chop shop. Get rid of the highway and the gravel on the road leading there. Why would it be so far tucked back away from prying eyes. The highway project came through and they stumbled upon it and took the land back. That’s based on an educated guess of previous employment thought process.
