Definitely....particularly on a lot of the prairies.
My in-laws live in Saskatchewan (just outside of Regina) and we are back there every couple of years.
There are some amazingly solid older cars and trucks still sitting around in yards, farms, etc.
I found a boatload in a wrecking yard near the Alberta border (sask side) 3 years ago....just of the no.1 hwy.
I had no time, no tools and no resources to take advantage of the dozens of older trucks and older cars there when I was in the yard.
2 years later I went to visit it again...and the entire yard was gone....emptied, crushed.....gone, nothing but a dirt patch.....damn near cried, lol.
Regardless....I always keep my brother in law in mind if I find something nice and interesting in that area. He has a 20 acre farm and a very nice, empty storage building....lol....plus he is a car guy.
