Hopefully most of that can be salvaged, too bad it's so far, it certainly wouldn't economically be worth hauling the cars too far but maybe someone can salvage some of the rarer parts.

What even happened to the Cadillac Junk yard in Washington state that was for sale? I can't find the link to the site now.

First,
Thanks to DaveW for posting this.
I & a major Cadiillac  parts vendor  talked today. We both agreed that this place was never a big supplier of parts in the boom of the 80's & 90's. Look at the cars. Most of them look untouched. So... unless someone like Brian Faull or maybe Eric goes out there & sends back a semi or box car of parts to the salt-belt, all those cars are gonna get crushed!
As far as the yard in Wa. state, DBaers, he's probably gone.  He got tired of waiting for a buyer that was serious.
That's how I see it.  Anyone else???

Right. How many of us ever heard of the place until now? 

Who puts a junkyard 200 miles from nowhere in the Canadian prairie and expects to sell cars and parts?

OK, don't know why my previous post got deleted, but...

The guy can't be trying too hard to sell them to collectors, as the email given to contact him in the article bounced.  It's unfortunate.
