Let us know if you want a better tour in the summer also If your looking for something check the description to get ahold of Bill.
@2:30 is that a late 30ish Plymouth coupe, amazing that that is still there !!!
I would like to see more o.f this yard
A spring or summer tour would be fantastic! Lol
Would love to have a look there if I ever get over that way .
Another tour in the spring would be great! Does he still ship parts to the States? I'm not too far away, central Minnesota. Need a hood and rear fenders for my 51 Chevy pickup.
My wife says im in trouble if i go there. What an incredible collection! Seems like an amazing man. Love the workshop too! Thanks Esther abd Brent for bringing us along. You rock!
Last time I was at uncle Bill's, I went to figure out witch 1 of 2 cars was going to come home... landedup coming home with a wagon for the girlfriend instead. 😄
You guys in Canada are so lucky to have yards like this one. I live in Pennsylvania, in the USA, and most of the old bone yards that had vintage cars are gone. I'm ready to move to Canada any day now. Keep showing videos like this and it might happen.
Sadly they're disappearing in Canada too, I live in Ontario and they are getting pretty slim, we've lost too many the last few years because of the 'environmental' thing.
And the thing about Pennsylvania is that you can't buy a whole vehicle from the salvage yard because all the titles are sent to Harrisburg and never sold again. South Central PA here.
I'm also in PA. Having grown up on a farm with a smaller yard (we tried to keep the number of vehicles to 100 or so) I got to see first hand the closing of our yard and many others. EPA. They didn't aggressively pursue the yards. They just made compliance so expensive that ours and many others closed. We still have a few good yards for earlier parts but they get picked pretty hard and will eventually fade out because they just don't make this stuff anymore.
WOW!! That was absolutely the most awesome tour of an old salvage yard I have ever seen. Bill is a treasure 🤑. Summer tour will be great. Thank you and your wife for this. I'm also retired, don't jump off the tailgate like I used to. (78). Especially not agile and no meat on the knees.
Super organized....you can OPEN any door of any car for access. Not many recyclers set up like this. G R E A T ! This is not a "junkyard", this is a automobile parts department.
Yes!! Summer tour Definitely!! WOW!!! That is probably the most well organized old car salvage yard I have ever seen!!!! Those yards all but gone here in the southeast United States!! Man only if I was closer!!! Thanks for sharing Brent 👍
After watching the video all the way to the end, I felt like it was rude not to thank your wife for hers filming out there in the snow and walking around filming just for us! Thank you for filming the yard it is very nice to see these old yards are still somewhat out there.
I live in the California bay area I remember when I was a teenager and going to many of these stack with old car's with my Pop's and older brother, uncle's those day's are long gone. I remember seeing all those yards being shut down and those old timers crushing those beautiful old vehicals. Some looked complete and just needed to get running, buses full of chrome parts still wrapped up in paper 's going to be crushed as a young adult seeing it at that time no one was really into those old classics I knew what was going over seas as scrap metal made me sick to my stumic. There's still some small hidden privet yards in California but you have to know someone to get in there yards and they just don't let anyone walk around there yards. Those were the smart fellas that built there yards out in the country around nothing at the time even now those farm land's are growing smaller. It just brought back some good memories that the younger generation will never get to see. Now they produce topawear car's disposable vehicals all plastic.
I was waiting for this! And yes, a tour in Summer would be super sweet!!!
Wow, that is Rod Heaven. Thank you for the tour. Be good and get well. Take care my friend. 👍
This reminds me when I was kid seeing junk yards along the road. Please don't tell D&D speed shop about this he will have them all snapped up . Just kidding great stuff.
Brent, thanks for you and Esther braving the cold to make this video. Love to see it in warmer weather. I wish more folks took the time that you do to capture these cars. Kids hurry through and only show what interests them.
The knowledge in that man's head would probably fill a library. Man!! Its that kind of knowledge that we're losing way too fast. Thanks for sharing that. Be safe and stay well.
I think I was there years ago. Did a run across Canada and found a ad in old autos of this guy bill had a feild of cars. He was not home the day I was there so could only see stuff from the road. Pretty sure it's same place. Remember how hilly it was. Love to go back some day for a walk threw. Been wanting to drag home old iron from out west my whole life. Not a cheap trip for us newfoundlanders
This is a car man's dream We always did love finding these
Holy crapola!!!! I had no idea there was a junk yard like that left anywhere! What an awesome collection of rusty iron, such a variety,,, it’s a museum in this day and age, The owner can get 20 bucks a head just to go look at the variety of cars and that doesn’t include getting a part😂
Yes I agree its such a nice feeling walking through classic car bone yards, I could do that for days and it would be like heaven. It is just a shame to see all these cars sitting but at least they have a good home until someone adopts them. Just thinking of all the yards that were forced to shut down and crush all that classic iron makes me sick to my stomach.
I have nothing but praise for bill best yard I've seen for vintage iron well done my hats off to you keep are dreams alive thank you
That's a quite nice boneyard! I saw a variety of prospects that only need little more than waking up. I'm glad to see someone picked up these beauties when they came available to do so. Wish more would have done so when they were still out in the fields and fence rows of North America. Thanks Brent for taking us out there!
Dang; haven't seen an old bone yard like this one for a long, long time! Even out here on the
Best Coast, they have all but disappeared.
Another vote for a summer tour w/ an eye to rare models and those that would make good
rodding material.
Hats off to the missus for the great video work!
Thanks for the tour. Quite a collection of cars from many decades. It would be cool to see them in better weather, but no big deal if it's not convenient. Great to see the Mrs. along with you!
Thanks kidz!!!!! You did a great job of editing except I didn't think I really looked THAT old. Maybe if you return in the spring you could spruce me up a little ? As for the vehicles they for sure will look better when the snow is gone and the birds sing. Meanwhile I'll keep watching your coupe build and it's first trip down south. Cheers, uncle bill.
A big giant toy store!!!!!!!!!!!! I would be there constantly. Yes film again
Thanks for the tour! I'm more than a little jealous of that '35 Chevy Master 3 window!
Even though I like all the cool stuff uncle Bill has, I dont think anything beats the gypsy wagon. His old house and shop is just as cool though.
Thanks for the wonderful tour, Bret I bet you were just drewing at the mouth while walking around and seeing all those great project that could be put back on the road. There were at least 3 that I saw , for example that 49 Chevy fast back and couple of others that were in mid 30’s.
That's the kinda car show id like to go and see 👍🏽💯, thanks Brent for sharing this yard of art!
I really like the picture of the yard from the drone . The starkness of the black and white is wonderful. It could be a prize winner
Looks like Halfass heaven!
What a gold mine of the past❤ 9:31
Very kool Brent you an Esther have too much fun y'all don't stop love it 👍👍✌😁
Thanks for the tour of the most awesome bone yard ever!
Paradise by the dash board and winter light! What a place.
Looks a bit like cold war motors collection. Except he doesn’t sell them, just fixes and plays with them. Another fantastic Canadian car show.
Thanks for a great tour in a great place, thanks Bill !!!!!! Brent and Ester !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time for this cool video Brent.
Absolutely Awesome Brent....
Such rich history...
And thank you Esther...
Great shots , and Wonderful

Thank You Thank You
Saw that blue IH truck sitting on the corner and thought, “Oh yeah!”.
That's like browsing thru a Princess Auto catalogue, possibilities are endless
What a selection of good years gone by!
That is "project heaven"! I could get lost there for days!
Man I could spend the whole day looking at the old cars and trucks there. Yup I love old junk yards! I loved the old Corvaires .
Ty hopefully you all stayed warm 🌨️
Thanks for the tour! I could sit and listen to that gentleman all evening what a nice place and glad you found what you were after
Just a very cool place. Brings back so many great memories. Bring us back in the spring. I sure remember most of the cars. Thank you two so much. Thanks for teaming up on this video. Best of luck.
It’s great to walk trough that for history and remember the ol cars 👍.
So many cars worth saving.
Thanks Brent and Esther for showing-us all of the vehicles at Vavavoom Garage. I lv to have a 40's or 50's old truck/stepside..
A big selection of old Iron up there Brent.Thank you for the interview with the owner. Very very good! 👍
I realy enjoy watching your videos, especially when you interact with your wife. She is a lovely person , you guys are perfect couple.
Thanks guys , please keep those videos coming, geoff, brisbane australia.
I really like the early Nash airfliyte that was in his field
Home of many future projects for Brent!😆
THANKS for the GREAT TOUR !!!
Found a junk yard like this in Kansas..on vacation..stopped in and videoed for my dad. It was even snowy that day.
I don't know about y'all I need to watch this several times to get my list ready!
What a nice lil honey hole ya got here Brent
That's a lot of great cars and stuff 👍👍
Unbelievable, the quantity of rusty gold. I would love to walk through that land and dream
Thanks for the video
Heck yes we want a summer tour
Holly Hell the video had my heart pounding
Frosting on the cake too...the interview...!!....
Lotta projects there - not all garbage like so many junk yards!
There's some beauties in there that's for sure.
A summer tour would be awesome
I'm like a kid in a candy shop,loved ti see it with that white stuff gone
Wow what a treasure
trove
Plenty of projects there. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
I like tour's in old junkyards like the one you showed and your builds
Yes would love to see them in the summer ! Are you sure you left your yard I think you have as many cars there lol Thanks for the video Keep on keeping on cheers.
Yes summer time tour would be way better for sure lol
She's crazy about a Mercury, Vavavoom!
THANKS for THE TOUR !!!!
Lots of great hot rod bodies there Buddy
You guys have such cool wrecking yards. Nothing like this in Australia bar one "Flynns Wrecking" (Aussies will know it) but nothing with this kind of iron. I'm sitting here drooling literally. 😂🤣 Billy J... Queensland, Australia.
Oh that Willy’s 2 door Aero would make an awesome gasser or street rod
That place is amazing! He probably knows where everything is too!
At 3:35 - A Volvo Amazon Estate Wagon, just like mine! I iust loved that car, my daily driver for a decade... Never let me down!
Wow !😲 a toy store for builders a lot of savageable cars and parts.If I was only in my 30's again!
Wow what a collection !! I like the odder ones that no one seems to like, a lot I didn’t recognize , some wild station wagons in back ground ! Awesome
What a nice guy! I hope someone nearby takes over his stock and keeps it going. I would hate to see all that get crushed by a farmer or someone else buying the land.
I met him at Deuce Days in Victoria. Neat guy. I'm glad you shared this tour of his stuff!
From the air it looks like your place Brent, almost!
All those cars, and I didn't see one 58 Chevy inthe bunch! 58 Is, and has always been my favorite!
And yes, I would love another look!
Heaps of awesome rigs nothing like that here in the world, except U-PULL-IT, but most of theirs are post 90 s thank for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
thanks for getting cold feet for us
Brent, walking around the yard you look like an artist getting inspiration for his
r next masterpiece
It's neat to not only see so many great classics but the organization is really spot on. It really helps find cars when they are not just thrown in a heap.
...hi Brent and Esther...Uncle Bill was pretty cool....enjoyed the tour...looks like enough there to keep you busy for awhile.......
The old boys have so much to say and I find it very interesting
Great tour, I ran into Bill at a car show and didn’t realize he was Vavavoom, great guy to chat with.
Glad you were out there at this time of the year. Great Selection of Vintage Iron. I had been out there several years ago in June and I have never seen as many wood ticks in my life as i did that day. Must be Uncle Bills Security Force!!!
I noticed. 1951 Nash in that yard. My Me’mere bought one in 1951. It ride better than Chrysler or Cadillacs. Never a squeak, solid 6 flathead! It was the car I learned how to drive. Best horn sound ever!!!!
Wow! If Brent could buy him out he'd never have to do anymore searching for parts for his projects.
nice caboose shed
this place is a gold mine ... it's getting so rare these days to see so many oldies... , Bent, you're still young, maybe one day , you could take over this investment ...😁
Its cool that some saves those old cars, if he hald not collected them they might been nails today.
Wow, that yard is outstanding with the amount of parts
Thanks for the tour. Nice drone footage 👍.
Top DAWG Carona and I love this second channel and glad Ester could help! We love the drones! Not too much of that old stuff and places like this left. Bill was kewl as hell!
Minty !
Thank You for sharing your video, and bringing us along .
Later ...
Fun you guys plus getting exercise to boot.lol
Convertible Corvair, now I would like to see you put a small block in the front end. Think of all the engineering for that. Snow didn’t bother me great tour.
Like, share and tell a friend. k
Good road trip for you two. Now you know here to find those wheels, doors and hoods you need. I'm thinking time to purchase this guy's business.
massive
Well Big brother thanks for the tour.... It's not a tour that you see often... Thanks
