In the 1990's there used to be a guy, just north of Salt Lake City IIRC, with a big yard full of Z's.  Fifty or more.  Same story.  He would let the odd person in to have a look, but he believed that he was sitting on a gold mine and refused to consider realistic offers.

Maybe this is his nephew!

I don't think so.  Topography and shrubbery looks wrong.  The collection in your photo must belong to the other nephew of Patcon's hoarder. 

The guy north of SLC had a yard that looked like your traditional wrecker's lot, with a front yard for parking, a building or two, and a larger, fenced-off rear year   I visited briefly on my way through the area.  George Koslowski (past prez of Ontario Z Owners Association) paid the guy a more extensive visit while traveling through the area and did a write-up in the club newsletter, c/w several b&w pix.

Years ago, there was also a guy in the southern fringes of San Diego who ran an all-Z recycling yard.  That was a pretty cool set-up.  Well organized, knowledgeable and helpful owner.  Probably long gone by now.

 It would be nice to know how much of the interior is missing. If the rust is truly minimal, everything that's missing is bolt on. Much easier and cheaper in time and money than replacing sheet metal. Looks like less work than my 74.
