  • This place has been around forever and will not be for much longer. Decided to do one last walk through. He wants ~$1100 for most of the cars. Which is way too much imo.

    A " will it run" would be pretty skoocum on that dodge cargo ram van as no UA-camr has ever done one before. Plus I own one and they are pretty nostalgic for a lot of people.

    • @bradlobdell

    1:25 Fiat X1/9! My dad had one! Thanks for the content Chris. I honestly just enjoy whatever you put out on your channels. There's something calming about watching what you do, no matter what it is.

  • @americanrambler4972

    Man, I can tell I am getting old! All those cars you did not know what they were were the cars of my teenage youth. The 69 Dodge Polara convertible (A low volume production with just 1495 built), the 1967 Pontiac Le Mans right next to it, the Subaru BRAT with T-tops, the Jeep Cherokee, and yes, that side striping was a factory trim option. The ford step side short box, early 70’s late 80’s Fiat Bertone X1/9 (those were very cool little cars that out corner and drive a Mazda Miata without even trying hard), very early Ford Rangers. Brings back memories.

  • @theroving1
    @theroving1 7 місяців тому +8

      they have great little diesel engines in them, the kind of thing that Robot Cantina put in an old Saturn for max MPG on his youtube videos I think.

    • @carlbernard4197
      @carlbernard4197 7 місяців тому +2

      Yes that is the engine they put into the Saturn. I drove refrigerated trailers for 10+ years hauling frozen and perishables throughout the northeast and the southeast. The SB 210 was great for doing frozen especially ice cream.

    Hey Chris - those Subaru’s are known as Brumbys in New Zealand & Australia. & they are highly capable & sort after now. Those boxer engines & 4wd have rally pedigree (believe it or not). I think MightyMods UA-cam channel did one up.

    Chris you need to grab one of those reefer units and bolt it to the new shop. Diesel powered AC that'll freeze you out next summer.

I would love to see you get the ram van get it running and drive it. Could you please tell a little something about the junkyard? 1. Like when they started? 2. When they closed? 3. And why are they closing? I hope if you both ever get to Jersey that I get to meet you. I live in North Jersey currently, but moving to South Jersey in November sometime. Thanks., Bobby

    2) Uh Chris, next to the Dodge is a Pontiac -- either LeMans or GTO -- mega sweet!
    3) Chevy Custom Deluxe 10 and Square Bodies always worth saving!
    4) Impala -- all three -- worth saving!
    5) Chevy C 10 -- mega sweet!
    6) All the old pick-ups and tow trucks and wreckers -- worth saving!
    7) Uh Chris, the Impala at 11:51 -- that's a 19-SIXTY-SEVEN, not 1977! You youngin's don't know nothin' !!

    👍👏👌 Thanks a lot for showing us around. 2) An original Fiat X 1/9 Bertone! Must be quite rare in the rust belt part of North America. Because older Fiat cars usually already rusted in the brochure! 😁 ;-) 3) A 4WD Subaru Brat with a T- bar roof? Never seen one of those. Great little cars, especially for winter time. 4) By the way: I simply love the Datsun 280 ZX with the T- bar roof. The famous Graf Goertz body style/design is simply gorgeous and the engine almost indestructible. Unfortunately they rust a lot. 5) I also spotted a VW Karmann Ghia.
    Best regards, luck and especially health to all 4 of you.

    Honestly that Ram van would be an interesting will it start. Those vans were all over the place in the 80's early 90's

    Would love to see "will it run" on some of the Japanese & European cars you come across. Results may not be as easy/consitent as the domestic stuff, but interesting engineering all around.
