I saw this lonely 2000 XC70 SE sitting with a For Sale sign in the Airmont, NY Walmart parking lot. The front seats looked decent and that's a fancy exhaust tip on there. Maybe it's well taken care of. Nope, I can't read the phone number.

Google Cruising around industrial areas in Denver and what do I see in an Englewood salvage yard but a white 544 lost and alone! You should go rescue it, Matt!

It’s just west of Sante Fe Drive in Englewood. All those salvage yards are in the flood plain of the Platte River. I grew up nearby. I think I laid in the mud under a rusty car in high school near there!

I went back. On Radcliff Ave West of Sante Fe Drive, Englewood / Sheridan technically.

There's an 1800 here along the fence -

Appears to be connected to the property up the hill with the yellow building labeled WEITZ. Auction company?

Obviously taken at different times, but there's no sign of the rows of cars here.....which pic is more current?

My rectangle should have included the silver-roofed WEITZ building to the right (east).

Oh, that WEITZ logo is the same as this commercial contractor in the Denver area, so that bigger building is a shop and supplies location. Maybe no connection to the lower lot, although there was a connector between buildings at some point.

EDIT - That's trucks and equipment in the aerial - I think the construction company has taken over the lower lot and those cars are gone.
