Watching these guys and some of the cars they can't identify...I realize....how old i am! Wonderful experience just walking through a junkyard like this. Great video.
Past mid sixties the American cars were white bread. I used to drive cars like the ones here to the wrecking yard to get parts for the classic beauties of the fifties. Mid sixties my uncle quit the wrecking yard business and started crushing up huge collections of cars all over Texas. Made a lot more money but it was heartbreaking to see the old cars turned into refrigerators. Toyota makes the best cars ever for the average person but they will be left behind by Tesla and BYD. Old farts like me and the technology of my generation are past the sell by date.
I found a Cadillac El Dorado diesel my uncle had previously owned in a junkyard years ago. I was looking for parts for a Jeep Wagoneer and saw a black caddy that looked familiar. The car had previously been gold colored but my uncle's ex wife wanted it painted black so he paid some body shop big $$$ to change the color. I suspected it was their car based on a yacht club sticker that was on the back window and a little scratching with my pocket knife revealed gold paint under the black. He did not junk the car he sold it to someone else who apparently never scraped my uncle's yacht club sticker off the back window.
Yep, grew up hunting parts in places like this. They don't exist in Va anymore. Would love to walk a few more as a bucket list item as kidney failure is taking me out.
That X/19 was a Fiat…they had a one piece roof that came off like a vette and they were actually built on a frame and handled like go cart…really fun cars…
I had one in 1979 to 1986. Cornered like it was on rails. Not fast but so low to the ground you thought it was fast. Loved it. And it taught me how to fix cars. Involuntarily!! Lol
No, it was a Bertone. I had one. The bodies were always built by Bertone. They sold the bodies, to Fiat, who installed drivetrains, and sold them, under the Fiat name. When Fiat decided to end production, Bertone wasn't ready to end it, so instead, bought Fiat drivetrains, and built the cars themselves, and they were sold as Bertones. My title, said Bertone, not Fiat.
These junkyards have been sitting idle for many years it’s crazy that they are all closing up crushing all these cars especially when the younger generation today has a passion for these classic cars and bringing them all back to life again
I think that I would have wanted the Trans Am the most but only if it was already restored and no tree growing out of its hood! Fun video, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for the video. I walked a lot of yards like that, 40 years ago. Never see them like that anymore. 69 Charger with 1970 grill. That's your General Lee. Amazing the grill is still on it.
If they are stupid and just call some smooth brained scrapper to come deal with them they will. They need to have an auction for each car, many will be scrap price but stuff like the old crew cab dodges and that Opal wont be.
Im lucky to still have my 70 Torino . Looking for a hideaway headlight grille . Brother had a gremlin x and a 73 charger . Nextdoor neighbor had an opel manta ! Neighbor down the street had the old toronado . Sister had a 70 nova . Had a 76 F 100 and a 74 F350 . So many great memories . I absolutely love old junkyards ! Thanks for sharing !
At 12:34 there is the very rare, one-year-only '75 Road Runner! (The '76-'80 were the F-body Volare/Aspen chassis, of course). LOVE your site! I even saw a two-door Ranchero at the end and at 17:01, a super-rare '84 to '86 Caravan/Voyager (due to headlight pattern).
How would you get your gem out of there ??? It’s a SHAME that those classics are just sitting there Rusting . Something has to be done with those cars, I’m 74 years old and this video breaks my heart .
At least this guy didn't scrap and drop any of these vehicles in a metal shredder. More classic vehicles to be restored. Whether a junk yard or a place for a hoarder, this place is priceless.
@wileecoyote5749 Like the old saying goes, one man's trash is another man's restoration dream come true. Vehicles like these keep father's and son's, daughters, and mothers bonded together and out of trouble and jail.
Pretty cool stuff out there. I liked seeing the TA and that yellow 79 Z28. I mess with 78-81 Z28s 10 years ago they were 1500 bucks now 20k for a nice one..
When I was a kid we had cars everywhere in Northeast Texas. My dad and I were always dragging up junk. People used to push off cars in creeks and rivers and road ditches. One time I found a gold wedding band with a diamond under the seed of a rotted out car in the middle of a creek, I gave it to my mother it was pretty cool
You should do a request challenge through here. A commenter or subscriber challenges you to find a particular old car in this yard, odds are you'd surprise them.
Very cool! I used to love going to the salvage yards when I was younger, thats how I kept most of my cars drivable back then, lol. Another cool thing that doesnt exist anymore!
I came to this junkyard many years ago and picked up a trunk latch for my ‘69 Chevelle. It was an unforgettable experience seeing all of these cars spanning decades.
With all these different tags on these cars and trucks this was a wrecker service storage yard that accumulated what the owners didn't claim or pick up. Or gave the vehicle up for the tow bill.
There was a yard like this where I'm at in Michigan. The guy passed away and they sold it to a scrap yard company and it all got crushed. So many classics gone.
It was interesting reading through the comments...I also know where this is and spent a day going through there hunting for van parts. It survived because it was a tow company and not open to the public as a salvage yard...that's why the vehicles are so complete. It was with permission to go in there...very cool place and really hard to see everything that's in there. Great video guys !
I would love to get that Blue 1968 Plymouth GTX. I can’t find the White GTX that I bought new in 68. Been looking for it for many years with no luck. ☹️
Considering the petina on that general lee...you might want to run the numbers on it or look it over better.. could possibly be a screen used dukes car
@@aintmanyofusleft LMAO. 68, 69, 70, 71 chargers were all used in the dukes of hazzard! 68 had the round tailights. They modified all of them to look like 69s.. my comment stands!!!

First-gen, pre-facelift Escort at 5:16. I’ve loved the Mercury version for a shade over three decades now, particularly the 1982 base model 2-door in medium blue metallic with matching interior. No bodyside trim, an open space between the door and quarter window and sometimes no console at all in the manuals, making for a very clean look in my opinion. As for that Dodge A-van, back in the late 80s when I was in grade 2, there was a dark blue Fargo-badged example (the “R” missing from the front) parked long term on the grass just beyond a driveway near my school, also full of junk.
I know exactly where this junkyard is, my dad went there when he first opened it in the seventies, I’ve seen that general Lee in 2015, we’ve bought stuff for our 68 Dodge D100 and 67 F100, he’s a cool guy. Very cool place.
14:15 a rare appearance by Felix The Cat, very popular American cartoon character back in the day. The charger was my favorite, seeing some numbers on it would of been cool.
Felix goes way back! Last year they found the Lexington lost in battle several miles deep, on one of the aircraft perfectly preserved on the cowling was Felix the cat👍
That hilux has got to be worth a bunch!! Toyota only sold the hilux in the US until 1976. Ive never even seen any toyota pickup in person in my lifetime older than like 80 or 82
Nice Video, de X19 (5.06) is a Fiat, Bertone is the designer i think, The red Opel Manta and the Renault 5 also famous cars here in Belgium/Europe, arround 70 & 80's a lot in Europe of these cars, greetings.
Lovely cars, ❤❤❤ sadly to see all those wonderful cars rustying away,.....I really hope they will be saved and fixed, they all need to go out on the road again, ....I love old cars & motorcycles, ❤❤❤ best regards, Ted from Sweden.
I DO need the grill on the '70 Charger! The front bumper, too! I see a lot of Missouri plates and I'm in Oklahoma. Easy striking distance! Would he sell to me?
In my younger days i would search the seats for valuables. It was fun. My pockets were full with something. Even if it was fuses/ lightbulbs etc. Just being in a junk yard was always fun.
It's very peculiar, I have never seen a junkyard like that in person. I'm from California and all the junk yards with classic cars all the cars are in just fantastic shape no corrosion no pitting no rust. It's too bad a lot of those cars are there because they're getting destroyed from rust and corrosion you can't restore that. I don't think the cars are even worth anything in that condition. Not far outside of Palm Springs I know somebody that had three Dodge Chargers ine 69 and two 68s , only one had an engine and transmission.. but he sold all three of them for $50,000. Had just a fraction of that junkyard been here in California or Arizona, he's literally looking at millions of dollars. Instead they're rotting into the Earth. Shows you what life was like in America not so long ago cars were easily disposable after only 10 years, when I was young I picked up Dodge Chargers Camaros mustangs all in good shape all in good running condition for $3,000 or less. You can't do that now... That $3,000 is a monthly car payment with insurance
B.S.. I just bought a chevy truck for $1950 on purplewave..I have a ford gran marquis I bought for $350 my stepson is driving it now....This is Missouri...
Clicked on this because I saw a red 5 door Chevy Citation! My grandpa bought one new in 1980, babied it but also drove it like a cement truck as they used it to bring materials to build not one but 2 homesteads. In 1992 I learned how to drive stick on that old car and shortly after and with a documented 386k miles, grandpa sold it for $150. The guy who bought it, still drives it occasionally to this day! Many people hated the Citation but with the base, manual, 4 cylinder it was a beast.
@@RealSteelFabrications Yep. I drove like a prairie wagon as he never touched the suspension and everything was loose but she still went down the road. 😁
It's crazy how someone can have so much and not willing to share with anyone else. They'll prefer for everything to turn to rust instead. of bringing someone's dream to life. With a car that they've been looking for for years. 😢😢 so sad
i use to think the same until some kid told me to sell him my old golf mk4 and i just can't let go of the damn thing so now i understand why places like this exist
@@theforestlizard223 one car two cars even five cars I understand I love cars an trucks also but we talking about a few hundred that's a whole different story. Ten guys put together couldn't restore all those vehicles That's definitely someone that's hoarding cars 😂 😂 😂
After the owner passes, some greedy heirs will crush the whole thing and sell the property, so they can sit on their lazy asses and play video games the rest of their life
At 13:20 that's a 69 charger. The 68 has 2 round tail lights on each side. Correction: Watching again and I see that is a 70. That bar going horizontal through the grill is a 70 characteristic.
I was picking my favorites as the video went. The GTX, the Coronet 440, the T/A. Then you showed the Apache wrecker, and I had to rethink everything.
I second that wrecker! I've never seen one as a wrecker before. Yeah, that would be bitching!
I was diggin the GTX myself...HEMI??? Good Lord!!!
Crazy that these all were brand new and people had a special moment when they went to the dealer and bought them brand new.Excited to show their friends and family the new vehicle,now just rusting away for decades .
Must have been nice to be able to afford a new vehicle, I couldn't imagine
Wonder how many people had sex in them?
Wait about 5 more years and start selling them off.

yep yep. Saw most of those cars growing uo in the 60's
They couldn't identify half of them without looking at badges.
What is the red 4 door hatchback in the video thumbnail?
@@sharongoodsell9341Hard enough finding parts in Canada, can't imagine what it's like in Australia.
You know you're older when you can remember seeing these exact types of cars on the road everyday.
Yes, and when some of these cars are the "new" cars that replaced the other ones that you saw on the road every day
Also when you could visit actual car junkyards in your area, before the EPA shut most of them down.
I would love to see this type of vehicles on the road again, way more style, a lot easier to work on, I miss those days👍

WOW! I see alot of good vehicles that can be saved and restored
Agreed
I agree ,too bad no one will ,probably more than likely would cost over $70 K to restore one
Some are far gone, some was a good shape when first camecin that place and the idiot let to rot
Please visit optometrist

Very nice, so many cool oldies that could be rebuilt but won't being so packed in .

Can I get an address to this junkyard and what is the state it is in please I hope here back from you.
Near Rolla Missouri a wise man said
Way off...I was here in 2010
My favorite was the 64 Cadillac and the 73 Torino. Could use some small parts on the 73 Torino !
Those old 4 door dodge pickups are awesome 👌
We agree! We Cummins swapped one on the channel
Lassie-mobiles. US Forrest Service used them too.
Looking at some of those cars from the 70s cars making me cry. Their going to rust heaven.
For sure
That's a gold mine of cars 😮
It sure is
@@RealSteelFabrications
Yes. Sir.
Where is it?
Wow all gold!! If a person wants that’s specific car they WILL find a way to get it out lol
Man this is awesome!
Glad you think so!
That hilux has got to be worth a bunch!! Toyota only sold the hilux in the US until 1976. Ive never even seen any toyota pickup in person in my lifetime older than like 80 or 82
😮
My very first truck back in 92 was an 83 long bed Toyota 4x4. I don't remember seeing many earlier models. Definitely nothing 4wd. Just tiny 2wd
@@jasonrabe1664 Nice!🙌🏽
Craziest junkyard ever seen wow unreal sure would like get some of them square body Chevy out there
It is pretty nuts
The General Lee Charger is a ˋ70. 1 year only for The chrome Band Surround
Nice Video, de X19 (5.06) is a Fiat, Bertone is the designer i think, The red Opel Manta and the Renault 5 also famous cars here in Belgium/Europe, arround 70 & 80's a lot in Europe of these cars, greetings.
Thanks for the info!
5:08 - Fiat X1/9, Bartone is the designer of the car
Sweet ride!
Bertone
It's Bertone!
Lovely cars, ❤❤❤ sadly to see all those wonderful cars rustying away,.....I really hope they will be saved and fixed, they all need to go out on the road again, ....I love old cars & motorcycles, ❤❤❤ best regards, Ted from Sweden.
Man..this was a super cool video!! Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The old International service truck for sure
Also any International scouts or trucks. I'm interested in
I DO need the grill on the '70 Charger! The front bumper, too! I see a lot of Missouri plates and I'm in Oklahoma. Easy striking distance! Would he sell to me?
That’s a gold mine…can you imagine how many quarters are under the seats and in between the seat cushions?!!!!
I would say a few
In my younger days i would search the seats for valuables. It was fun. My pockets were full with something. Even if it was fuses/ lightbulbs etc. Just being in a junk yard was always fun.
Super cool video!! They should charge to come visit. I would definitely pay a entry fee to check that place out. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
I dig the fiat x1/9 and then opel manta
Same here!
Probably not the same place, but South of Ann Arbor Michigan on I-23 there's a similar junk yard in the woods. Google maps says Lucas Auto Repair.
It's very peculiar, I have never seen a junkyard like that in person. I'm from California and all the junk yards with classic cars all the cars are in just fantastic shape no corrosion no pitting no rust. It's too bad a lot of those cars are there because they're getting destroyed from rust and corrosion you can't restore that. I don't think the cars are even worth anything in that condition. Not far outside of Palm Springs I know somebody that had three Dodge Chargers ine 69 and two 68s , only one had an engine and transmission.. but he sold all three of them for $50,000.
Had just a fraction of that junkyard been here in California or Arizona, he's literally looking at millions of dollars. Instead they're rotting into the Earth. Shows you what life was like in America not so long ago cars were easily disposable after only 10 years, when I was young I picked up Dodge Chargers Camaros mustangs all in good shape all in good running condition for $3,000 or less.
You can't do that now... That $3,000 is a monthly car payment with insurance
I bought my 68 Roadrunner, running, in 75, for $325. Cars were considered junk back then, if they had over 50,000 miles on them.
B.S.. I just bought a chevy truck for $1950 on purplewave..I have a ford gran marquis I bought for $350 my stepson is driving it now....This is Missouri...
Clicked on this because I saw a red 5 door Chevy Citation! My grandpa bought one new in 1980, babied it but also drove it like a cement truck as they used it to bring materials to build not one but 2 homesteads. In 1992 I learned how to drive stick on that old car and shortly after and with a documented 386k miles, grandpa sold it for $150. The guy who bought it, still drives it occasionally to this day! Many people hated the Citation but with the base, manual, 4 cylinder it was a beast.
Wow, 386k!
@@RealSteelFabrications Yep. I drove like a prairie wagon as he never touched the suspension and everything was loose but she still went down the road. 😁
That blue 73 Mazda REPU is crazy rare and desirable
Too bad it's not a rotary pickup
I have a 76 country squire and was really happy to see another one for the first time
It's crazy how someone can have so much and not willing to share with anyone else. They'll prefer for everything to turn to rust instead. of bringing someone's dream to life. With a car that they've been looking for for years. 😢😢 so sad
i use to think the same until some kid told me to sell him my old golf mk4 and i just can't let go of the damn thing so now i understand why places like this exist
@@theforestlizard223 one car two cars even five cars I understand I love cars an trucks also but we talking about a few hundred that's a whole different story. Ten guys put together couldn't restore all those vehicles That's definitely someone that's hoarding cars 😂 😂 😂
After the owner passes, some greedy heirs will crush the whole thing and sell the property, so they can sit on their lazy asses and play video games the rest of their life
@@theforestlizard223 why did you have 100s of cars rotting away or just the one?
@@yeahright302 I only have like 5 cars but they all work , the golf i just take for a ride like 2 days a year
At 13:20 that's a 69 charger. The 68 has 2 round tail lights on each side. Correction: Watching again and I see that is a 70. That bar going horizontal through the grill is a 70 characteristic.
Where is this place at I would love to go there just to see some of the unusual stuff that's there
Rolla Missouri someone said
Hours off from accurate
Если бы такие авто кладбища были у меня в России......! Да их бы не было этих кладбищь. Эти машины все бы ездили. Столько запчастей!!!!!! Охренеть!
Lots of amazing cars waiting for a possible second chance of life
Hopefully they get one!
