I would HATE to see that stuff crushed. If he has a clean-up order it will be done, or a clear-out date. That has to be Tin Man, Mill Bay is close to where he is out in the bush.

 

I feel compelled to fly out and drive a large rental van back. Nah, I already have a unit full of junk. And a closed full of outboard motors.

I was out there on my honeymoon June '07 (actually the day I was getting married) but wasn't allowed in the yard. I was looking for some pieces for the '68 Acadian and the '66 Chief I was building at the time. Somebody buy it all up and save that stuff!!! Bring it to Alberta LOL.........

 Not to hi-jack, but if you read my tagline in my signature in the following post you will see I like old OMCs: *Tag-line*.

There's a couple of Johnsons in the closet plus less than 2 Gales, and a low-hours Evinrude Yachtwin 4. And about 7 old double-line pressurized fuel tanks. Dad gave away his 9½ & his Neptune 1.7. My brother has dad's '67 Johnson 3 folding weedless plus his Starcraft fishing boat with a '93 Johnson 30. Bro bought a brand new boat with Evinrude E-TEC power so dad's boat likely will be sold.

 

Bearcat 4-stroke, as in 55 horse? I believe they were Crosley based. Boston Whaler owned them in the sixties to the last ones in 1972.

i remember reading of the tin man when i was in high school...
it might have been an advertisement in the old car trader at the time...
I always wanted to check out his yard...
I have never been to the island, i guess i'll never be able to check it out :(

 Very few got to his yard. He would deliver the parts to the bottom of the road or ship them.

I'm sitting here wondering IF he would let me in the yard to browse for a couple hours could I justify the expense and time off...

I did recently get a truck...

But I already have a problem with too many car parts...

Is he by any chance a member here?

I first heard of TIN MAN in Sackville N.B. in 2006 I was visiting my mom, and went to a school friends business OLDGOLD.ca They were re-storing a GTO and I was interested in seeing a section of the cowl that had a rusty section cut out and replaced with almost new section from another car I said where in the world did you find that TIN MAN Peter said out West

fast forward to Canadian Poncho and Tin Man became a sponsor Today I was looking and clicked on his web site wow what a bunch of cool stuff Dave is from Kitchener and moved to B.C. and is a first class dude Carl
