I'd agree but we also don't know the history of the car. Could have been wrecked and written off (which most of the time you cannot put them back on the road legally and no collector would want it if it's been wrecked). Other possibility could be if the frame for example was rusted out, then it's almost junk (as the cost to repair or restore the car would be more than it would be worth in the end, which is probably the reason here -- not worth restoring). I wouldn't doubt it if that car had a fair amount of Bondo on it.
I'm finding the demolition of a 60 Plymouth to be completely appalling. It survived for 64 years! There has to be a reason it survived that long. I know someone who has one and could have used parts off of that! At least the grille, headlights, bumpers and tail lights. That car NEVER should have been in a demolition derby!
Same. Exner Mopars are priceless treasures and while that particular entrant was likely beyond hope for restoration, there’s plenty of rare trim pieces on there (which are usually taken off per demo derby rules anyway) that could have been put to good use.
Maybe it had a huge rust hole somewhere, making it near impossible to repair due to the damage and how much that would cost. Restoring classic cars like that Plymouth(?) can cost a fortune
@mavericknizmo9182 and there is someone out there willing to spend a fortune. I know, there is a gentleman in Minnesota who took a pile of rust and turned it into one of the prettiest '60 Plymouths you'll ever see.
It was probably beyond repair and was most likely going to be crushed when they bought it, so giving it one last show before it gets crushed anyway is the best way.
@@thefancydoge8668 Could've used it in a movie set during period when the car was new & destroyed it in that. I agree it's more than likely it was finished but in a movie it would have started off nice & new looking.
@@thefancydoge8668no classic is beyond repair and it would not have been crushed. That '60 Plymouth, as well as those other cars, deserved a better fate. At best it would've been a good donor car to help restore another '60 Plymouth.
@richardrice8076 apparently you've never been in a junkyard, classic cars end up there and get crushed after a while. And they end up there because they are beyond repair since you would have to be someone that just throws away money to repair something that would cost way more than it's worth and will forever be stuck with the car since nobody will ever buy it.
That was one hell-uv-a good show guys! That's the first time I have ever seen front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, mini vans and compacts all in the same heat. Pretty wild! 13 one wild assed driver! That last head on between him and 16 was one hard assed hit! I expected more out of that lassic old Christine car. That's one heavy and solid old buggy man. Needed better prep and a different driver. But great derby you all!
@@ricksanchezsflask8794 I had a 1977 coupe Deville as a daily driver for a while, super comfortable car, I drove it 2000 miles From California where I bought it to Minnesota, I could leave cruise control on even up.the biggest mountains and it wouldn't miss a beat
Baby blue sedan had a good run seeing that it won the first one, and almost won the second one (I would say the van obviously won the second one, but to be fair, it was the second demo derby for the blue car). That being said, there should be a rule that they must make contact (when there is say 2-3 cars remaining) at least every 30 seconds and they can't run the clock out (unless it's of course one of those "to the death" matches where they go until only one car runs, not a timed event).
If you are new to demo derby here is a few tricks..there is some advantages you could take like putting on those rear spare tires they have that are the temporary spares..put them on the rear..the ones that are like solid rubber tires about half the size of a normal tire..more traction plus they take a beating..Like those old army Jeeps had skinny tires for a reason..because the traction they give you..And if your new to demo derby..don't use the front to the car to hit people and also take a sledge hammer before the demo and hammer down the quarter panels somewhat right behind C pillar where the back glass was that meets the quarter panel and then the back of your car will fold upwards instead of downwards as the demo progresses..been to many derby's and these are advantages to help you through..of course follow the rules..nothing worse than spending weeks getting your car ready only to fail the inspection before the race..
Even though that dude in the 420 car clearly didn't win, he deserves some type of an endurance award imo. That thing barely even resembled a car by the end
It’s cool seeing old iron in derbies, but tbh I’d say it’s probably not worth it to run them full stock, I’d say it’s more fun seeing old iron more built than that
Damn, in games like flatout and wreckfest car derby looks so fast and fun. In reality they damage themselves in a speed of 5 mph which is so boring. Like give them bigger field or bowl so they can gain a speed of 40-60mph and crash into somebody. That would be really fun
Not really. It has more crunch room, but those GM vehicles (Cadillacs) are build more stury it seems. I mean the blue car too quite a beating this second round (and won the first round and one reason it lost this round. Had the van been in the first round it would not have survived to the second round).
Yeah taking that '60 Fury out there is absolutely disgusting. I could have used parts of the thing like the hood. As flat out rare as they are and nothing made to replace body parts is utterly appalling. Who ever decided to use it must not be any type of car lover. Flat out sickening!!
It is hard to see classics get destroyed but you have to remember that they are probably beyond economical repair and would just end up rotting away in a scrapyard anyway. It would be better if they could take any rare usable parts off before derbying them though. The reason classic cars become desirable is (apart from nostalgia) is because the cars become rare... For that to happen, most of them have to be destroyed/scrapped. If every single 1960 Plymouth was still on the road, they wouldnt be rare or nearly as desirable as they are now.
@@richardrice8076 you can't demo derby Teslas, most of them are declared totalled and probably can't drive after a simple crash. Not to mention the batteries that are definitely fire hazzards
Definitely not. Guarantee that car was beyond restoration and was only worth scrap. I had a 55 nomad that no one would buy for $1000 because the roof would be too expensive to do. They aren't worth the effort just because they're old.
I wouldn't get too upset about the '60 Plymouth, guys. Very likely it wasn't in anywhere near as good shape as it might have looked. I've personally seen this kind of thing happen before. Racetrack I worked at has these things every Labor Day and one year, a guy enters a '69 Impala. I thought "you gotta be kidding me!!" That is until I went and had a closer look at it. Thing was rusted to hell, interior shot, no good for anything. Just because something's old and may look good from a distance doesn't mean it is.
I'll get upset. That Leave it to beaver mobile shoulda been saved. This isn't calling the scrap guy for your '90 Cadillac. That is a rarely seen car that should've and could've been restored.
That 1960 Plymouth will be fine, just walk up to it and say "Show me." Then watch the car repair itself. Bit still, that hurt seeing it getting smashed up
i know these things still get made exactly like they have been for decades but it still sucks to see them get smashed up senselessly. doing the same with 2010s cars? now that's entertainment. at least make some goofy car chase heist movie where you get corny shots of real cars rolling down cliffs with rocks on the pedals and whatever if you're gonna wreck kits.
why are they destroying these masterpices, come on people, be socialy responsible, this is not nice. wouldnt watch that ever. i strongly dislike this kind of videos. get teslas ferraris, bentleys, and mercedes 6x6 wagons and trash them, id enjoy to watch that.

this was cool and all, but I found it odd they still had their windshields,, where I am, all glass/lights must be removed for derby cars,
Yep the light blue caddy and the green yellow Lincoln are the ass kickers.
Cadillacs I understand. The vintage Chrysller should have never been there ..
I like how theres just a random van 😊
Minivan usually has an advantage... not really fair 😊
Not really. It has more crunch room, but those GM vehicles (Cadillacs) are build more stury it seems.

Had the van been in the first round it would not have survived to the second round).
@HR-wd6cw Caddys are kinda soft in the front end unless welded / plated/ threaded rod ... Minivans also have a slight Bumper height advantage...
Groove street in blue?
Is there a rule that says removing the windshield is optional?
Windshield removal is indeed optional.
