It’s been said that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. That’s the reason why junkyards, no matter how messed up they can be, are considered havens where you can find those classic rides of yesteryear. Just take for example this vintage ride discovered by the folks at Jalopnik: a 1974 Ford Mustang II.

Although it doesn’t look much now, with a little time, effort, and cash, you can have this ride restored back to its original form. Give it a new set of rims, a nice paint job and new upholstery and you’ll get a ride that won’t only make heads turn, but will also kick other vehicles to the curb.

So if you’re tired of looking at the same cars with the same modern design, or you just want to make the old new again, try checking out your neighborhood junkyard. You’ll never know what gem you might find stashed in there.
