Welcome to Buenos Aires, my city! The city where I was born and raised. Buenos Aires is one of the biggest cities in Latin America and as such, it is place where you can find almost everything, even junk cars parked around.
If you live in a big city in Europe or the U.S. and want to see junk cars you’ll probably have to travel a far way and -if you are lucky- you might find an old school junkyard somewhere (if they still exist in your area)
Well, if you live in Buenos Aires, that’s not a big issue. You just go for a walk around the block and you’ll find enough junkyard worthy cars as daily drivers or just parked somewhere and some times even forgotten.
I came to Buenos Aires this time to visit my parents with my son. And having my camera always with me, I use every chance to take pics of every junker I find around. Have a look a this few examples that I’ve just found today.
Enjoy!
I wish I could find a Nova SS like this one…
Just fly to BA and you’ll find lots of them!
Hello Guys
I’m brasilian and live in S. Paulo. A couple of years ago I visited Buenos Aires and surely they have a lot of pretty old cars there. Several models that never were made here in Brasil, like Falcons, Novas and Torinos. Here we can find some nice junkers too, but different ones, like Galaxies, Mavericks and Darts. I’ll try to take some pics and send them to you.
Best regards.
Hi Ruy, yes please, send us pics of brazilian classics! I would love to see them!
Take care,
I couldn’t help but notice that your very first photo with license plate number XCL029 Looked a little odd,like maybe it had been photoshopped.The background and car were somehow odd looking togeather.Then I noticed 2 more photos of what appears to be the same Ford falcon with the exact same license plate number(XLC 029).So is that the car were driving around Argentina during your visit or was photo number one photoshopped?Just wondering.
Hi Tom, yes the first picture is photoshoped. I thought mentioned it on my post, but I forgot. I wanted to merge two great pics together. The Ford Falcon and a pic of Buenos Aire’s skyline. Of course it looks odd. It was never intended to look realistic or something.

Hola Claudio, para nosotros es los mismo. Cuando Estamos en Argentina nos traen muy buenos recuerdos, especialmente el Torino, que era el coche de nuestro abuelo, en el que aprendimos a manejar!
Saludos!
