Fellow Pelican, Chris Banning, has written a book on racing on Mulholland. There's a pretty long thread about him/his book/Mul. Last I heard he's trying to document those wrecks in the 2nd edition of his book.
A few years ago a few of us (organized by Banning) went climbing over the guardrail at Deadman's and a couple other spots along the Race Course. There were a few rusty wrecks down there. Nothing particularly special. There were two halves of 911s (one blue, one red, IIRC). Probably dismantled in some chop shop and then the unibody frames were tossed down the hillside from the edge of the road. I've got a Mustang hubcap hanging on my garage wall from that trek. Didn't find the rest of the car, though.
That VW Thing lies along a hiking trail, but I think that's somewhere below the Studio City overlook east of Laurel Cyn but west of Nichols.
