I bought some stuff in that area a few years ago. Much of it was not as good as it looked at first glance. Wherever dirt settled they were rusted from the inside out. It is amazing though of all the stuff there and of course it isn't as bad as salt damage. Natives of that area told me that it was too far from a scrap metal buyer to haul so whenever vehicles quit, they just stayed at the repair shop or on the owners property.
