This sprawling salvage yard in Alabama, US, is filled with rare and valuable vintage motorcycles.
It spans a massive five acres and is packed with 4,000 bikes.
It was described by the YouTuber exploring it as a ‘piece of heaven’.
With row upon row of classic motorcycles – it’s clear to see why.

The epic salvage yard
Per Motorcycle Rewind, he is overtly ‘NOT AN EXPERT’, rather ‘just a guy in his garage working on old motorcycles’.
However, that doesn’t mean his videos of working on, riding, and discovering vintage motorcycles aren’t fascinating for his 15.6K subscribers.
This video of an ‘epic’ salvage yard was posted back in January 2024.
In similar news, this sprawling salvage yard is filled with desirable cars and could be the largest junkyard left in the United States.
The vintage motorcycles
However, far from a mere sightseeing project the YouTuber plants to come back with a truck and trailer and tow away some potential restoration gems.
“A testament to motorcycle history. Every rusted part and dusty seat tells a story, and we’re here to uncover them,” he explains.
“It’s about preserving the legacy of these two-wheeled wonders and bringing them roaring back to life.”
Notably, amid the overwhelming lot, the content creator discovers several 1984 Honda Elite scooters with flip-up headlights.
Vintage finds include several Honda CB750, and Honda Trail 70, and despite being weathered many are in surprisingly good shape.
He also discovers Kawasaki and Yamaha models as well as tools, bike frames, and parts – including carbs, side covers, and motorcycle tanks – hidden in the yard.
Not every savage yard find is as marketable, like this salvage yard in Arizona which was weirdly trying to sell two-thirds of a C8 Chevrolet Corvette.
However, you can strike lucky like this guy who found a real Lightning McQueen NASCAR in a salvage yard and bought it for a steal.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
