Greble U-Pull-It 2010 - 2025 RIP

Post by DPDISXR4Ti »

Greble U-Pull-It (988 Houtztown Rd, Myerstown, PA 17067) opened as a self-serve junkyard in 2010, becoming quite possibly the largest junkyard in the area, covering 28.5 acres. Four days from now, on May 18th, they will close forever. Copart has purchased the property and will be converting the property to a giant parking lot, for the most part.

For now, the realtor.com listing still shows the property from 2010, shortly before they opened. Seems like an awful lot of work for only a 15 year run, but I suppose the work that was done transferred well to the new owner's requirements. I'm guessing the sale price at over $2M.

The location of this place was a little bizarre, out in the middle of central PA Amish farmland; no other industrial activity surrounding it at all. It was a 45-minute "commute" to the Wyndham Hotel in Camp Hill. If you know, you know.

Merkur content.... The last Merkur I ever came across in a junkyard was here, circa 2018. It was a Scorpio.

Interesting, seems like it has a lot of old stuff you can see on the highway. But, agreed, 15yrs is a short life span of a yard.

I was planning to be there three weeks from today! It was just dumb luck that I found out about this.

This just in... Here's what the Ford rows looked like yesterday... :cry:
