A junkyard in Alberta, Canada, is home to more than 1,300 vehicles with some dating back almost 100 years.
Family-run Muscle’N’More Auto was set up in 2001 by car collector, Lorne Panchyshyn.
Since then, Panchyshyn and his dad Victor have amassed hundreds of cars and trucks.
The sheer scale of the yard is mind-blowing, with vintage and classic cars crammed in.

The junkyard is a real treasure trove
North America is home to seriously huge junkyards, such as Desert Valley Auto Parts in Arizona which has more than 10,000 vehicles – or this 22-acre one that is packed with classics.
And over in the Canadian province of Alberta, Muscle’N’More Auto has vehicles dating from 1927 to 2019.
However, more than half are pre-1972 collector cars and trucks, with a heavy focus on muscle cars meaning you’ll find plenty of Oldsmobiles, Dodges, Plymouths, and Chevrolet Chevelles.
Rust Bros’, Mike – who you may know from the Rust Valley Restorers TV show – took a trip out to Muscle’N’More Auto and was left completely blown away by its size.
“Holy sh*t, just when you think you’re done, it keeps going,” he commented as he looked out over the collection of cars.
The yard is full of classic muscle cars
“Described as awe-inspiring and extraordinary, our yard is sure to take any enthusiast’s breath away,” Muscle’N’More Auto says on its website.
And they’re not wrong. Tucked away in the yard, you’ll find everything from a 1947 DeSoto Coupe to a 1997 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible – and just about everything in between.
Many of the cars are in serious need of some TLC and would make a great restoration project in the right hands.
Others could only really be used for parts, and Muscle’N’More Auto prides itself on being able to find rare and hard-to-find components and parts.
As well as being home to more than 1,300 vehicles, Muscle’N’More Auto has an onsite body shop with mechanics who ‘can fix or install anything your vehicle needs from bodywork & paint to engine work and component R&R’.
So all in all, it’s a bit of a haven for gearheads.
