      @@1kinglexi you know I’ve watched this video several times & I don’t think he meant that to be taken literally. He was only implying the area was too wet for him to go back there which it clearly was. To think that a junkyard would store cars in an actual swap is ludicrous. It’s raining cats & dogs doesn’t actually mean cats & dogs are falling from the sky. That chic is smokin’ hot doesn’t mean someone is bar b queuing her. Don’t take comments on social media literally. Scientific documents, engineering documents & legal documents yes absolutely take them how they are written, but some guy walking through a wet overgrown junkyard & says it’s a swap back in there ….no.

    They have a lot of impressive old cars in there. It's a shame that half of them are lost to the swampy side of the property.
    Thans for sharing this cool little video with us, out here in dreamland.
    So many of us really do dream of being able to build a project car or truck, and seeing all of those neat vehicles from days gone by, just makes me want to get one of my own going.
    Thanks again. Hope y'all have a great day.

    Unfortunately in Roanoke Virginia if your near water and not on a hill or relatively high up their is alot of flooding. On a technical note if you keep your vehicle in a garage. You want the humidity dry as a bone. 4% humidity like southern California mostly. Water in the air causes metal to rust. I live in the rust belt state. A wood stove will dry things out. Or a dehumidifier in the summer. But my dehumidifier would not shut off when I used it.

    Well Newtons is actually located in Cloverdale. 9 out of 10 people will ride by it cause all you'll see is an oversized garage ., A bunch of Mopars for sale in the small lot, and in front the old concrete footing for 2 pumps. There is a couple panels for a privacy fence and trees. The cars are located behind the shop and trees.
    The gentleman who owns the place has done a real good job of keeping it undercover. I'll get to the actual location at the end of this. But first a few more facts.
    From what I understand, prior to 1985, I believe was the year, that this particular junkyard was loaded with Mopars. The yard did not have the big gaps of vegetation you saw in the video. That particular salvage yard has a creek as one of it's boundaries in the back and along one side. In 1985 the area experienced a flood. It was a flood that even today it is mentioned, referenced and remembered. Well that flood put most of those cars not in water but my understanding is that they where under or at least very close to all be under water. I also hear that when it started to dry out not all the inventory was there.
    The gentleman also noted that many of the cars had broken windows. The owner of the place told me the story of how a bunch of teenagers had trespassed one evening, and proceeded to bust as many windows as they could. At the time I was enteracring with this gentleman the incident must have been recent because he was extremely hesitant about letting anybody back there. The cars themselves had been pretty well picked clean of the more juicy choice parts. Most engines and trans.wrre long gone by the time I got there . Body parts interior parts etc, well there depending upon your needs can be a treasure chest,. Just keep in mind some of those cars may have sat in a lotta water.
    Now the guy himself seems like a pretty good dude. He was hesitant about letting me scout it out, but eventually he let me in (now this was in the 90's).. I will tell you he's was and could be extremely tuff on price and some of the pieces he would not move a dime on price and some he would. My point to all of that is the guy knows exactly what he has and what it's worth. My understanding is that he's at Carlisle every year got a both up front sells parts and cars, from what I've heard he's pretty well known up there.
    Now here's my last bit of 411 before I get to the location. Now remember that I pointed out most of the cars were picked clean of the good parts that most were missing engines and transmissions? Well from the people I've spoken with that know the guy better than I, they are pretty sure where some of those real good parts are. According to them, at home this gentleman in addition to his home has a few out buildings in his property. In those out buildings lies a treasure trove of all sorts of parts this guy has been collecting and gathering for years. From what they say these buildings well they got a heck of a lotta great stuff. I tried a couple times to see if I could get him to talk about what he has stashed but could never get him to say anything and I mean not a word or slip about it. I did however get a couple of interesting looks when I would try.
    Newton's is located at read mountain Rd and rt 11 in Cloverdale VA 24077.
    Hope this helps and good luck.
    Ps if I may just add a bit more info about this area and junkyards I either know about or have heard about.
    1) up untill the 2000,'s out in Boonesmill VA the was a junkyard located in the middle of nowhere on a small mountain. This junkyard was known as the mustang graveyard. That's the only kinda of vehicle this junkyard had. All years while I never saw a GT in it , there were plenty of mach ones, saw a Cobra jet once to name a few. Since then the land was sold cars removed and now there's a bunch of houses.
    2) out in ferrum VA off 5 mile mountain Rd there once stood a junkyard that specialized in cars and trucks pre 1960. The gentleman that owned it had a lotta land and a lotta cars. It to has since gone the gentleman passed land sold cars removed, and I heard that was a real job, and now is a single family home with acreage.
    3) last but not least I have heard that out in Elk Creek VA there sits a small but interesting junk yard that is exclusively housing Mopars. While I cannot confirm or deny this it is what I heard. For those that don't know Elk Creek otherwise known as Gods country is north of independence and south of Wythville. It has some of the most pretty land you've ever played your eyes on.
    Hope this helps have a good one.

    looks like a bunch of kids went through here busting glass...
    makes it hard for good ole folks top walk around these yards. makes me sick to see good old cars go to waste...
