Cool story just popped up on my news feed this morning: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/enthusi ... 09d9&ei=31#

"America's Forgotten Fleet: A Look Inside a Historic Car Graveyard - Forget about Indiana Jones; we have a new mystery to solve: a graveyard of Porsche 928s in the California desert! For those who don't know, this German car is a cult classic, a luxury sports car that didn't become as famous as the 911 but now has collectors drooling....."

Lots of pictures. Anybody know about this place or these cars? The article doesn't say where.

Out here in the perimeter we is stoned, immaculate.

You’ve heard of Cadillac Ranch?

Maybe this is Anderson Ranch?

That was my first thought Dave. I wonder if Mark A knows about this place. The article says the cars aren't for sale. There are probably lots of parts and bits that are recoverable. For instance, I see phone dial wheels that could be reclaimed.
