I owned one that I bought from a guy in the military. He left it in a Kmart parking lot because it lost power and could not start it. I asked him what he wanted for it and he said take it away for 75 dollars. I gave him 100 dollars and went to check what was wrong. The wire to the alternator came off. I stuck it back on and jumped the battery. I drove it home and ran it for 5 years. This was in 1985. Never had any problems with it. Sold it when I moved out of California. I sold it for 1500 dollars. Wish I still had it. Great little car. Had over 180,000 miles on it.
LOTS of eye candy. That Catalina was CHER-RY! The 63 Biscayne with the 327 was SWEET! I was tripping on the Econoline and Celia that you just blew by (LOL).👍
Heaven on earth. Thank you for the guided tour. A little of everything out there, quite a variety to capture the special interests we we all have. Must confess it was particularly interesting to see a yard that is NOT predominantly GM! Favorite car was that red 66' or 67' Mercury Comet fastback!
Normally, I'm not a pickup guy but I do have a soft spot for vintage ones like the early 60s red Ford Econoline pickup at 13:46. Simplicity at it's best with things such as basic leaf spring suspension front and rear and are easy to work on with hand tools. And thank you for the tour.
Good one Ryan. Yeah I remember the old Gremlins, when I was 11 yrs old living down in Liverpool Nova Scotia for a couple years I would watch them rumble up and down Main Street. You walked by a Belvedere, a 64’ I think like my old man had. I liked the car so much I wrote a song about Dad driving us in that Plymouth with the push button tranny. 😎👍🇨🇦
I would like to make a suggestion: Restore that Diamond brand truck to make a tow truck. It would be the combination of utility and old style. The next vehicles that were rescued by you would already be removed by your own tow truck.
At many of these yards, people didn't think that far ahead, so they stacked these vehicles to save space, & ruined the roofs on them. Sad! Yes, I thought that way too. I grew up surrounded by dozens of these cars, who knew one day they would be sought after? Plus, the "Cash for Clunkers" campaign of 2009 caused lots of these relics to be crushed.
Lots of people didn't like the front clip on the 67-69 tornados, but you gotta love em...the 67 had the best big block engine ever: 39° 425 with .921 lifters
@2:23 behind and to the left of the Gremlin is a Mercury Capri. They were made in the UK & Germany and sold in those markets as Ford Capri. They were very popular in the UK & Europe.
@@dave5833 Ask that guy ^^ There's a lot of old bone yards out west with dry cars. You want one already done or one like these to restore? Restore try "Desert Valley Auto Parts or CTC Auto Ranch, there's others just Google if this guy in Iowa won't answer.
Dude! Thanks for filming this. I dont think Ive ever seen any salvage yard that almost every vehicle I liked! Common cars of their time, that most have been scrapped long ago for their big bocks sadly. Im sure that some guys will be saving some of these babies!
13:50 that 1st Gen Toyota Celica! but the roof looks bent up, like it got hit on the passenger side. Also 5:27 that 1st gen Plymouth Voyager looks pretty complete. Great video
A field of dreams. Depending on how they are underneath; engine etc. there's some cool project cars. Too many to mention, but the Mercury Colony Park is my fave or the almost blue Chevy s/wagon. Thanks man.
I saw the back of a brown or gold color Ford Elite. I wish you could have filmed it. I built a '75 when I lived in IA many years ago. 6 months later she ended up in a yard after being T-boned on the driver's side.
At 1:16 in the video you went passed a 60 Ford. Behind that was a Wood Spoke wheeled vehicle. Anyway on finding out what it is. I look for stuff like that so I couldn't have missed that. Not many people are into wood spoke wheeled cars.
Am in the uk and a love seeing all these old american cars.a no nowt about cars..just driving them.but love salvage yards nd scrap places its such a joy to see the video and a shame they are all at rest.a eish i had the money to buy 1 or 2 and get them done up and use them.them cars had style and beauty unlike the shite produced now.thank you mate for the video.x
Hi Ryan, I am interested in Buick Wildcat w/air also the 5 window blue, flat nose van/truck at 11:15. The one other that caught my attention was the Buick Skylark at 11:35. The 1935 Ford pick-up at 13:10 as well as the 1935 Ford truck right after.
ryan go back and get 35 fords and all the 67-72 ford trucks i need them and the 35 ford truck is very rare find and very hard to come by and one of my dream projects i want to build.thanks - nick
The Chevy's a '46. The COE is a '37 Ford while I spied the cab of a '60s IH truck. You should take one of the Biscaynes home with with you. Think the roadster could be a '29 or '30. As always, great stuff.
That Ford is 73-77, before the square headlights come out. Way too new for me! Khakis over gym short s every time however. Jeepers Creepers was a 46/7 Chevy, that's a Ford of the same vintage. You just like the 60 4 door with the floor shift and 348 in that movie!
Hi Ryan, The Pontiac Grand Prix at the time stamp 6:30, a Feller would wish to know: How much would the beauty cost and what would the shipping be? Please reply. I want to get back on the road!
Another pic would be the 1963 Chevy wagon at 10:00. This would take the place of the Pontiac Grand Prix @6:30 if the Pontiac is not available. Actually, I would rather have the Buick Skylark ar the time stamp 11:35!
You're right. It kinda threw me off because of the center piece in the grill. I only thought that center piece came out on a '48 chevy. Then the top grill bar that stretches down to the bottom grill bar came out on the "46 chevy. Neat looking car.
I miss the SMELL of those places. The last "clean" salvage yard smelled like thousands of stinky Little Trees overpowering the natural odors of vehicular decomposition.
THANKS GUY!!! GREAT VIDEO .. BUT VERY SAD I HATE SEEING THOSE 60--70S CARS SITING AND RUSTING MAYBE BECAUSE I GREW UP IN THOSE DAYS AND I HAVE A 1978 BUICK SKY LARK PUMPED UP AND A1958 DODGE CUSTOM ROYLE SWEPT WINGS... PEACE DUDES ...
Next to that gremlin was a mid 70s Capri. Underrated car

What kind of parts 56 fordsneed to on 55 to56 crown Victoria association clubs website they have monthly new letter tomember
This video made me almost cry. 😢 What I wouldn’t give to get my hands on 1 or 2 of those projects! The sheet metal alone,,,,,, What a horrific waste.
LOTS of eye candy. That Catalina was CHER-RY! The 63 Biscayne with the 327 was SWEET! I was tripping on the Econoline and Celia that you just blew by (LOL).👍
Lol sorry i missed it 🤣
I love seeing these yards, though the stacking is heart breaking for us old car nuts. Best to you Ryan, always excited for new videos from you 👍
Thanks Jazz!

thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing. It was great seeing all those old cars. I like the Monte Carlo at the end.
Thanks for opening the door on the pontiac. It had a rare strato bench seat.
I didnt even see that rare seat

the Ford Econoline is one of my favourites ! ive actually just sold my corvette to make room for one !!
Excellent video.....so many old cool cars. As you walked around, I thought....every one of these cars has a history.
I hope they are going to try and salvage some of those or sell them to car buffs to fix them up.
Lots of potential projects there! It really chaps by backside when salvage yards stacks cars! Makes it harder to get to parts and rescuing good cars!
The "60 Galaxy, the "70 Galaxy and the Merc Wagon are my top pics, not to mention all of the Ford Trucks,
Good one Ryan. Yeah I remember the old Gremlins, when I was 11 yrs old living down in Liverpool Nova Scotia for a couple years I would watch them rumble up and down Main Street.

Really a nice video for classic car lover's.
That Grand Prix was sweet. Some nice wagons too. The 35 Ford truck was my favorite. The Diamond T should be rescued.
I would like to make a suggestion: Restore that Diamond brand truck to make a tow truck.
It would be the combination of utility and old style.
The next vehicles that were rescued by you would already be removed by your own tow truck.
Man... Thanks for sharing so neat to see some of those oldies. I remember walking salvage yards as a kid. That yard is a gold mine in Itself..
Thanks for watchinf
The 2 door ranch wagon also. Damn there are so many to choose from.
nice canabis patch with that diamond p
Nice 59 Ford wagons and 59 Savoy.
I love roaming around the older car graveyards, keeping one eye open for snakes always. Enjoyed the video!
Thanks for watching!
Loved the 59 ford wagons. They ride like your on air. My friend has one and it looks like new. He will not sell it for any money.
Yes they do!
At many of these yards, people didn't think that far ahead, so they stacked these vehicles to save space, & ruined the roofs on them. Sad!
Yes, I thought that way too. I grew up surrounded by dozens of these cars, who knew one day they would be sought after? Plus, the "Cash for Clunkers" campaign of 2009 caused lots of these relics to be crushed.
yes sadly
Don't junk yard full of treasures where is the junkyard located please give me a reply back let me know thank you
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! LOVE THEM 59 FORD wagons!!! More PLEASE 😉❣️!!!!!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Lots of people didn't like the front clip on the 67-69 tornados, but you gotta love em...the 67 had the best big block engine ever: 39° 425 with .921 lifters
yeah, i can see why people wouldnt like them but they have a neat look
Favorite 2---- 72 Elcamino and the 73-75 Monte Carlo 😎
@2:23 behind and to the left of the Gremlin is a Mercury Capri. They were made in the UK & Germany and sold in those markets as Ford Capri. They were very popular in the UK & Europe.
That old MOPAR would be a great one IMO.
Thanks for another great video. The good news they didn’t crush them and turn them into Shreds.Have a great day.
Thanks man!
Are these for sale? Lot of solid metal

Ryan, thank you, man! So many beautiful cars... that Grand :Pris, Nova, etc. etc. so fine. Thanks for letting me tour with you.
Thanks for watching!
I spoke too soon, that pr of 59 Ford Wagons at the end of the clip are the baum!!!!
lol thanks for watching
@@IowaClassicCars where is this junk yard located??
That old Plymouth Roadster is cool!
There's a farmer in Kirksville MO not far from the Iowa border with a bunch of old cars in a field. Seen few 70-72 skylark,chevelle and cutlass's.
Do you have his info ??
Jimmy Hoffa is part of the John C. Lodge expressway, literally, the concrete base in the North bound right lane.
Lol hes in so many places it seems 🤣
I want the '58-'60 Beetle! No more projects no more projects...
One more can't hurt. I bet he want a lot for it though.
I like the 56 Ford 2 door wagon and the 35,36 Ford truck
Thanks for watching
I liked the olds toronado, it was a great car. Great video, looking forward to next week 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Some rare ones for sure.
Two Ford Elite's in one yard! I need to save those
13:50 that 1st Gen Toyota Celica! but the roof looks bent up, like it got hit on the passenger side. Also 5:27 that 1st gen Plymouth Voyager looks pretty complete. Great video
Thanks!
Like the Dodge Maxi Van !Good Vid
Thanks Rick!
Back when gas was at 28 cents a Gallion you could drive one of these big boats around I love those ol caddys
Now I know where all the great cars went to!
The 70 ford Galaxie fastback would be my pick not that many still around.
It's an XL
A field of dreams. Depending on how they are underneath; engine etc. there's some cool project cars. Too many to mention, but the Mercury Colony Park is my fave or the almost blue Chevy s/wagon. Thanks man.
I am also partial to the Colony Park. You just don't see them anymore. I had a 1970 when I was in high school, as one of my many cars.
Awesome stuff!!! Lot's of stuff that is still worth saving!!!!
You got that right!
Thanks for the content I enjoy watching
Glad you enjoy it!
You past right by that white 65 Galaxie, looked clean I want it
Very nice, vintage yard, they are few and far between. Cool and sad at the same time. Thanks for posting, this is gold for us older guys. Subbed. 👍👍🏁🏁
Glad you enjoyed it
You don't see many Gremlins in auto graveyards. Always interesting walking through old junkyards.
A lot of the Gremlins have been built into wheels standing drag cars now.
Thanks Martin
keep the great work
thanks man!
The Blue Pontiac with it's hood off an the 56 blue an white ford sedan near end of video
Tornado is the most inovated car on the planet
That early Beetle broke my heart.
Please show.more on that Plymouth Roadster. Great video.
I saw the back of a brown or gold color Ford Elite. I wish you could have filmed it. I built a '75 when I lived in IA many years ago. 6 months later she ended up in a yard after being T-boned on the driver's side.
ouch!
Those old toronados are awesome
455 front wheel drive. We had 2 of them
The Ford Econoline pickup in the tall weeds. Just before the Plymouth roadster when you got out of the gator.
Dont we all wsh we could be living in the 1950s and 1960s still ?
Lol thats no joke
Yea I never left the 80s, they left me😣😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
At 1:16 in the video you went passed a 60 Ford. Behind that was a Wood Spoke wheeled vehicle. Anyway on finding out what it is. I look for stuff like that so I couldn't have missed that. Not many people are into wood spoke wheeled cars.
Wow Ryan. Love to find a 73-74 Ford LTD 2dr that is buildable
I would love one that's a station wagon. One of my first cars I drove. My dad owned it and I took joy rides in it.
If Rally Sport Nova was a 4 speed it was worth something but not now, too bad . Also the hide a way headlights on that Olds Tornado $$$
Am in the uk and a love seeing all these old american cars.a no nowt about cars..just driving them.but love salvage yards nd scrap places its such a joy to see the video and a shame they are all at rest.a eish i had the money to buy 1 or 2 and get them done up and use them.them cars had style and beauty unlike the shite produced now.thank you mate for the video.x
At 8:13 in the video you were looking at a Chevy. It's a RARE ONE. THAT IS A '42. Only made for a few months before car production ended.
Yep i bought the guard off it
@@IowaClassicCars To bad you couldn't save the car.
Morning Ryan,
Hey Brother I just wanted to thank you for doing what you're doing. God Bless you. I was wondering about the Pontiac at 6:30.
Hi Ryan,
I am interested in Buick Wildcat w/air also the 5 window blue, flat nose van/truck at 11:15. The one other that caught my attention was the Buick Skylark at 11:35. The 1935 Ford pick-up at 13:10 as well as the 1935 Ford truck right after.
You do really well knowing so many of those old cars as young as you are.
11:11 Schwan's propane-powered Chevy Kodiak next to a GMC crackerjack
At 10:50 the car you thought was a Sebring was actually a 72 Plymouth Fury. Full Size.
Ah thanks
Buick Skylark would be the one I'd take home.
I see a bunch of cars I'd like to have. The old station wagons for sure
My mom had a 79 chevette. 4 speed. Beat the hell out of it. Lol.
Hey it's Terry again how about that big body monty carlo the big brown one hit me back please I'll take something
ryan go back and get 35 fords and all the 67-72 ford trucks i need them and the 35 ford truck is very rare find and very hard to come by and one of my dream projects i want to build.thanks

Neat place
Yes it was
That’s an awesome place 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. I really like the 65? Chevy wagon. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Does he sell the whole car?
I was actually going to try to get that 65
@@IowaClassicCars yeah the one big problem I have is that I live in Hawaii lol
Hi Ryan 🤙🏽 did you end up getting the 65 Chevy wagon?
Check that ranchero for a CJ and or a 4 speed.
Can do
54 GMC truck
The Chevy's a '46. The COE is a
'37 Ford while I spied the cab of
a '60s IH truck. You should take
one of the Biscaynes home with
with you. Think the roadster could be a '29 or '30. As always, great stuff.
Thanks Ken!
the Grand Prix should be saved--
Are any of them for sale would love to save some of them.
Lots of himp growing around that dimond t truck
On top of that galaxy! Is that an impala?
1st year 1971 Toyota Celica with its bumpers.
thanks i didnt know
Have you guiys seen any 66 thru 72 Olds Cutlass/442s in your travels??
Check out Heart of Texas barn find and classics he had a video to day with all of them tell him.mike sent you
That Ford is 73-77, before the square headlights come out. Way too new for me! Khakis over gym short
s every time however. Jeepers Creepers was a 46/7 Chevy, that's a Ford of the same vintage. You just like the 60 4 door with the floor shift and 348 in that movie!
Lol always a colorful comment from the one and only Mortske!
Can't take it with you should have found homes good collection tho.

Id have to ask him
TON of money there.
So many Nova's, are any of those for sale.
I can ask
That "39 chevy" that you were unsure about is a '48 or '49 Chevy.
Its a 42 i found out. Rare car
You're right. It kinda threw me off because of the center piece in the grill. I only thought that center piece came out on a '48 chevy. Then the top grill bar that stretches down to the bottom grill bar came out on the "46 chevy. Neat looking car.
I wish I was there. My wife said when I go to the junk yard its like and amusement park to me. I didn't see any mustang.
I miss the SMELL of those places. The last "clean" salvage yard smelled like thousands of stinky Little Trees overpowering the natural odors of vehicular decomposition.
Then I saw the ted VAN/Trucks at 14:48.
