{"product_id":"junkyard-1","title":"Junkyard USED","description":"Junkyard offers the only known photographic documentation of car \ncollector Rudi Klein’s famed stockpile of distraught—but rare and \nvaluable—vehicles from Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Aston Martin, \nMaserati, and more. In 1967, Rudi Klein began quietly buying up wrecked, \ndamaged, and worn-out high-end European cars under the business moniker \n“Foreign Auto Wrecking.” Over time, he amassed a stunning collection of \ntreasures. Among the stash is a one-of-one 1935 Mercedes-Benz 500K built \nfor pre-war Mercedes racer Rudolf Caracciola. No one is precisely sure \nwhat other prizes rest behind the yard’s not-open-to-the-public gates. \nSome 20 years ago, and after much negotiation, photographer Dieter \nRebmann and author Roland Lowisch were permitted rare entrée to the \nsalvage yard’s grounds to document its residents.This record of Klein’s \ncollection is nothing short of amazing for any classic and collector car \nenthusiast. Sadly, Rudi passed away in 2001, but the collection remains \nunder the care of his sons, who operate it as elusively as their father, \nmaintaining its decades-long air of mystery and desirability. Junkyard \noffers a rare behind-the-gates look at the secretive, legendary salvage \nyard formerly known as Foreign Auto Wrecking. You'll be amazed what \nexists behind its gates!","brand":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32629824487495,"sku":"B09521#LN","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/9780760367681.in03_001a4_4793ee93-6a49-4625-9389-73e4ec67df82.jpg?v=1772269369","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/cs\/products\/junkyard-1","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
