1971 Volkswagen Squareback [Down On The Junkyard]

Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009

Seeing a VW Fastback in action on a racetrack reminded me of how cool the Volkswagen Type 3 was. The Fastbacks and Squarebacks were never as common as the Beetles, but you'd see them. Here's one that isn't coming back. Speaking of not coming back, I've considered axing the entire Down On The Junkyard series. Why? Because dudes will find an 18-month-old DOTJ post with a car they're looking for via...

Lower Your Office's Property Values With Junkyard Desktop Wallpapers! [Junkyard]

Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 08/01/2009

Yessir, I sure do love visiting the junkyard, and all those Junkyard Find posts have resulted in some photographs that look snazzy as computer desktop wallpaper . We provided wallpaper images for your phone , but there was a troubling lack of junkyardness in those choices. So, I've picked out some of my favorite rusty, crusty junkyard shots and resized them to fit the most common monitor resolutions...

Crazed Modelmaker Makes Tiny-Scale Model Of Murilee's First-Ever Hell Project [Model Hell]

Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 07/19/2009

Not long ago, I dug up some old photos of the 1958 Volkswagen Beetle that launched me on the primer-and-junkyards automotive path I've taken to get to this point. Now look what's happened! Yeah, you just never know where this writing thing will take you; one day you put up some photos of a car you owned in 1983, and then some Canadian builds a disturbingly accurate model of that car in what appears...

Renault Mégane: Now you see it. Now you don't

The Independent (Free subscription) | 10/19/2008

Some Renaults go down in history as examples of design so individual they could be mistaken for nothing else. When "foreign" cars weren't so common here, you could always recognise a Renault for its wonderfully French functionality: a Renault 16 which looked as if it could ski if turned upside-down, a Renault 4 with which to ignore speed bumps, a Renault 5 with pioneering plastic bumpers....

You guys who tear your hair out when you see a nice, easily restorable old car heading to The Crusher in this series… think you can work up any tears for this beyond-basket-case ‘59 T-Bird? I spotted it at the same East Bay wrecking yard that gave us the ‘69 Renault 16, and it looks [...]

1976 Peugeot 504 Wonders How It Came To This [Junkyard Find]

Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 03/18/2008

While we don't see many French cars still on the North American streets, they do show up every so often at junkyards; we saw a '69 Renault 16 not long ago, and I stopped by the same junkyard last weekend and found this '76 Peugeot 504. The 504 is the only French car I've ever actually driven and worked on for any amount of time, and I recall thinking it was a very pleasant car to drive, when it ran...

Possibly The Only 1969 Renault 16 In America [Junkyard Find]

Jalopnik (Free subscription) | 02/19/2008

When I go to the self-service wrecking yard, as I did last weekend, it's not often that I draw a total blank when trying to identify an oddball car among the ranks of the steel organ donors. I play a little game in which I stand far enough away that I can't read any badges and try to guess the manufacturer. This car almost had me... until I spotted the three-lug wheels. Renault! Turns out this is...
