- Mr. Goodpliers looks around a collection of vintage cars, trucks and tractors near Wenona Illinois! These barn finds were locked away untouched for decades, and they have been pulled out. Come back for part two to see the auction action!
hearing some of your personal journey on your videos is great because it shows how u made growth and decisions.
This video was intoxicating! With the birds accompaniment you are a master history teller. From Canada these old American farms are so interesting.
Just want to say GOOD LUCK restoring these wrecks missing to many parts
Being a Pontiac fan, loved seeing the 39, but especially the 35. Pretty rare that both had the 8 instead of the much more common 6. The 35 had the Indian maiden hood ornament (first year for hood ornament as 34 and older had outside radiator caps). The 8 had the Indian maiden, the 6 had the Indian head with the feather. It is amazing that the Indian maiden hood ornament still had the feather on top of her head and not broken off. I have a real nice 35 Indian maiden hood ornament but it is missing the feather. That 35 is about as good as a restoration candidate as you are going to find when it comes to a 35 Pontiac. I hope you can buy it.
I just hope someone doesn't buy it and "Rod" it or "customize" it or "restomod" it.. :(
Mr. B. Here ! Mr. Goodpliers , a other great place you have found ! 🚗🚐🇺🇸🔧⚙️🛠️🔩🧰 👍👍🍺🍺
What a beauty the thunderbird is
Oh the adventures you find, thanks for bringing us along, thumbs up, its amazing what is out there, I used to have a catolog of VW body conversions, they had everything,
When you said Illinois I knew there would be some rot cases but also some very nice cars that were stored inside. Thunderbird and Pontiac coupe both awesome. No clue on that bush basher buggy but it looks like fun!
I like the steel wheels on that pontiac
Yeah that Pontiac has me foaming at the mouth-what a beauty!
Love these stories of yours.
Always an education. Thank you and God bless
What a fantastic tour of automotive art. Thank you!
Oh wow, I see some treasures!!!😍
Nice cars thank you for the video
Cool collection
The 66 thunderbird vinyl top has been replaced (like many have) The vinyl seam from the factory was near the edge on both sides of the roof. On this one the seam is inboard quite a ways because the vinyl was so narrow compared to factory.
Land o' lakes,wi...here ! ..your up here in the rust belt,,,,come up any farther north they just start to disappear !!!😮.... just horrible to see them up here on top of wisconsin,,,gone with the wind,,,,,notsorry.,,,,,,,tnx,great content again,,,pat&family..
That 47 Merc really catches my eye!
He must have been one rich farmer with an understanding wife take care
I love the 35 pontiac real gangster looking beast would clean up nicely.cheers from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍
That first one was a 1940 Ford coupe. 39 would have the wipers mounted over the top of the windshield, and the windshield had a frame that cranked out. 39 was ford's last year for the crank out windshield.
Amazing collection of classics!.😊
Hi tim the 56s an tbird is my picks. Cheers mate🇦🇺
That green Pontiac was an impossible dream.
Hi Bud, that orange buggy had a lot of Triumph parts on it, maybe a Triumph Herald or Spitfire with the twin carbs being factory fitted, If It was a Herald back axle the rear wheels would lean at funny angles until the car was loaded but the spitfire had a more controlled rear axle alignment, so I suggest it has a non-triumph rear axle. Now the wheels look like MGB steelies so maybe an MGB axle - who knows.. Thanks for the video
It's got a TR3 engine and guages
The decal on the Pontiac next to the Cubs decal seems to be a barbershop quartet membership.
i like the old tractors..
32:46 Nice Wilton Bullet Vise on the workbench.
Ha ha thought of you when I saw it and before I read your comment.
Thanks for the tour Tim, sure wish I could buy that Mercury coupe next to the nice thunderbird, but unless you buy it I have no chance.
The '36 Pontiac is the gem. The 8C model to boot! What a rare gem that'll be once restored. I'd return it back to the blue color with black wall tires.
Rust and gravity always win.
Looks like 2 much fun mr pliers cheers 😊
Great looking car but as you said so much work.
Ok, I would have been interested in a few of these cars!
Wow Tim! That 35 Pontiac was the gem of the auction! Those magnesium wheels are worth some serious $$$$
I can settle the debate on the "whatzit corner" i bought it at the auction and had a week figuing it out. it is a 1962 tr3 engine, drivetrain, and 3/4 of the chassis, front suspension and crossmember is out of 53 to 62 corvette. It is now running and driving.
Very sad to see lifetime of someone.
So many dreams unrealized
History in pieces.
Tim, find a way to grab that poncho, you earned it.
The GREEN toy tractor is an Eska International Harvester small M . Another RED tractor originally
I have a model of a 1970s International tractor in red, but not sure what model company made it.
😂 great show keep up the good work be safe my friends God bless all
That Pontiac coupe looks like all you would need fresh plugs fresh oil change fresh tires flush out old gas or replace the tank and it looks like you could go for a cruise ! So glad those mean yankee raccoons didn’t tear up the interior of that coop !
7:15..Amen, brother!.."I just don't like modified cars"..finally, a kindred spirit on this...butchery is what I call it..the current butchery is slamming, bagging, and LS swapping everything...
Yeah every decade you think "It can't get any more terrible than this" then some repulsive fad outdoes the previous one 😫
The earth actually breaths water vapor in and out even through concrete, that's why vapor barriers are required under the concrete for houses. Our dairy barn ended up a car storage barn, 20 years and all inside were rusted from bottom up.
looks like a lot of cool hot rod projects.
Great event. Wish I could have been there.
I guess it's been mentioned already but the orange buggy is a Triumph TR. The body probably rotted off early in the piece and it was to good mechanically to scrap so it became a buggy.
🗿63-65?
The extra roof on the Merc was probably for a planned top chop ,common mod on an old Merc
Those are called end gate seeders originally for horse drawn wooden wagons with some kind of ground drive chain to wagon hub for broadcasting small grains.
So let me get this. You rescue some vintage iron that is rusting away in one yard. Bring it home so it can continue to rust in your yard. Yep makes perfect sense
Cold War Motors does the same. Keeps them from being crushed
It's more of a foster home. I don't get too attached, and everything has a price
Crown Victoria worh money. Put ad in crown Victoria association club sell them & old vehicle
Well fortunately for me, I did not see anything I could not live without. Saw a lot of what I saw as a kid growing up in the 60's tho...
I think most of these vehicles must have come from fairly local sources. Northern Illinois is notorious for road salt damage...
But there are still a lot of savable vehicles in the group. The Pontiac is a real gem. I would prefer a regular trunk to a rumble seat, but as rare as these are you take what you can get. The shoebox Fords were nice, as was the '55 Crown Vic. Some people are going to come away from this auction very happy...and considerably poorer....
Isn't that the hobby of cars though
1/2 Ass Customs needs that 39 coupe..Yes the bent up Chevy pickup is a 51..The 46 prk lights on the Ford is like the 41s and 42s..47-48 were under the headlights..
Welcome to rust county!
Welcome to the rust ranch!
Bugs had lincoln fronts too. If you look at the elgin boat motor you will find it is a Sears & Roebuck. I have one that still runs.
I like you old car guy as you know many cars I don't know
Wow, What a beaut at 40:25 Thank You & Regards from Ody Slim
Believe the white and black 56 was a 2 door hard top club sedan, the wide strip of chrome is missing.
Great vid as per usual Tim, thanks. Yep you've done yourself proud. You are the best YTuber in this category with your unique tone to your voice, (kinda soothing and Bing Crosby-ish). I'm a Brit and remember back in the 70's my brother owned a Chevy er. Bel-Air left hand drive that we would cruise about the country lanes blocking the whole road going from pub to pub burring PETROL at the rate of 17 gallons to the mile. I myself owned a Mustang fastback but obviously didn't appreciate it at the time as a "chick" magnet, and couldn't quite get the hang of the left hand drive. I bet Mustie 1 would like that snub nosed beetle, it' kinda cute. Keep 'em cummins buddy, and greetings from the Isle of Wight, England
I had a 66 T Bird, I was hoping you would have shown the swing away steering wheel.
I remember they had a unique sideways tilt steering.
Beautiful car - to bring it up to life it would take someone with knowledge and money - imagine the average person having a car like that.
Square roll bar doodle bug doom buggy !
Nice old Pontiac
Looks like a lotta projects that got started and never finished at all
Yep
I know people like that in our area. I try to work on one vehicle until it’s where it needs to be. I build rat rods though so fit and finish take a back seat to safety
Mr. Goodpriers sounds just like Richard Cristy.
amidst the bird song
illinois hackery, classic
Very cool 35 Pontiac!
Illinois salts their roads. The frame, floors and underbody were probably gone before they were parked in the barn.
Wife’s sister and her husband live in Illinois. Max and I looked at a Jeep he was interested in. I mentioned that he needed to negotiate hard as it needed a frame swap. Body wasn’t too bad but the frame had rust holes in it
He walked away from that one
The wooden yard sticks gave me a chuckle ! When I was a child, my brothers and I would often get our spankings with
the old wooden yard sticks.....until my mom broke one on my brother's backside.....then, we started getting the belt !
Good show
Sad how the circle of life is and goes.
looking at all the rust, your not in kansas anymore
.......YOU'RE not in Kansas anymore......learn English......
The "whatzit corner" is a Triumph but not a Herald or Spitfire engine as it is too big, although it is still a 4. I would say it is a TR 2 or 3. The dash in this "thing" has TR 2 /3 style gages and that binnacle for the minor gages is out of one of those cars.
I agree that it is a TR 3. The instruments on the dash are taken from the same car.
That makes sense.
The look of the buggy was from the time when a Spitfire would have still been a new car, too valuable yet to have been cut up for a project like this
Cool vehicles. My fav. from the lot are:
3100 Chevrolet Pickup 2:44
the Chevy truck 43:58
Nice finds
The Pontiac window sticker is for the society for the preservation of barbershop quartet singing in america.
Like anything from the fifties and forties
I like you old car car guy
They made a gazelle (29) fiberglass body to put on a VW chassis.
you;re an encyclopedia spider man
S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. is a barber shop quartet society.
What price go for
Vehicles
What about crown 55 ford
Price , location auction
56 ford 2ht top
58:16..yep, that's one green tractor...but if you look carefully at the grill and hood, you can tell it's modeled after a Farmall...
At 18:00 buggy looks just like the one in the movie Eegah, Arch Hall jr. had it I think he also had it a few others.
Not only racoons that do that type of damage but rats, mice and squirrels can as well in my experience.
The Buggy is a re-bodied Triumph TR3
What a shame that 53 Merc at 3:15 was so damaged by racoons. My 52 is still missing a headliner thanks to those destructive beasts. Otherwise it survived pretty well. I see the carb and intake has been changed over to the 3 bolt Ford style carburetor from the original 4 bolt Holley.
It is a lyre not a harp on barbershop decal
I grew up in rural cass county nebraska and i remember every creek that wandered across the farms and fields had old cars along the banks for erosion and flood control.
I had an environmental sciences class in college and learned about the days of the erosion control using junk cars in the banks
....they didn't take much into consideration - with the old oil and fluids that polluted the very streams they were trying to save !
A buddy found a 37 International truck in a hillside in eastern Colorado,. Property own there said if you can dig it out you can have it. Made for a very crusty rat rod
Mercury/Lincoln and Cadillac engines had more nickel content to block/head metal mix. Can take more heat and excessive abusion wear
So did you buy the Pontiac 3-window coupe?
Had a 74 super beatle with the rolls Royce hood .
It'll be a sad day for the racoons when this sale is over.
Must be close to where I grew up.
It's like volkswagon beetle
Not too much left for good picking but from some of these newest channel startups, seen them drag out and take home a very very rusty mouse house... 52 chevy two door sedan with no floors, engine, automatic left out in the elements, south dakota rig.... dreams of a LS swap and in its shape, they are not going to have much problem locating engine into it... but just what is it going to be attached to????? Guy us a one legged man with small kids to help him.... heavy kids as well that don't know how to take a tire off with someone helping.... sad but so true. So he is paying to clean someones back yard for them.
think the buggy had an austin engine , if it's not that then its prob an early triumph one
7:19 Amen to that.
I think Watch Wes Work lives in that region of Illinois. AL B.
And i bet its a posibility to buy one of these cars with either black widow spiders or a little rattle-snake family
