opens celica door, "clean interior!", leaves door open, walks away
I live south of this yard, the owner of it took over the salvage yard from his dad in the late 60s. Most of them come in from his huge towing business, and he's never crushed anything. Almost 9,000 vehicles in that yard.
That Pulsar Sportbak has to be saved. Rare car like this is a 1 in a million
Will do
@@KyushaChronicles wait you mean you would save it?
its a possibility@@crazyman1650
Pontiac La Mens. Worth the price of admission. It s not that often I laugh that loud at a video.
That Nissan pulsar wagon in the thumbnail needs to be saved!!!
I totally agree
In New Zealand and Japan, this model was called the Nissa Exa
@@sambaker3233 good to know !!!
At 19:37 you walk past the front of a '67 Pontiac GTO. A very valuable car when restored. Would love to see more about it's condition.
At 44:20 you passed an International Cab over engine semi tractor. If the windshields are stillninnit and in good condition they are valuable. They aren't available any where new, not even Safelite.
There was another IH semi tractor at 1:03:28. It may have windshields also.
At 58:16 you passed a very rare Ford Edsel. A valuble car.
What state isvthis yard in? The size of ut is amazing!
I bet the owner of that yard might be watching him through a scope 😮😮😮😊
Possible
Oh the memories of working on so many of those old cars back then. I am very surprised that they are still around and in such big numbers of all of them. Brings back good memories. Thanks for the video, it was cool to watch the whole thing.👍
Glad you enjoyed the video man! Happy to see the video brought you back to the good days !
That starlet is crazy clean , theyre a 10grand car here in ireland now 😮 would love that or any toyota in the yard
The Toyotas are definitely super sick
26:05 i think that's the second Charger you walked past lol. I'm not a Mopar guy but I'm sure a bunch of guys would love to get their hands on what's left of them.
So many sick cars!
Thanks m8!!
i agree
59:10 I bought an 87 hatch from my mom's neighbor around Y2K. He had just repainted it and I paid 3k for it. My girlfriend (now wife) said her seat used to rock forward when I'd brake. I brushed it off thinking the seat was just flexing. Nope! Eventually smelled gas, so I ripped up the carpet and found the gas line rusted out (they ran under the carpet!?) and the rocker/floor was badly rotted out. I got ripped off on that car.
i could only dream of going here, just today i was driving by an abandoned junkyard, with old city busses all sorts of cars 40-90s. i wanna try and contact the guy who owns the land. its just such a cool area. the midwest just has alot of hidden Jems.
I agree man
So sick!!
Super fun day !
I’m 25 and it killed me to see all these even some of the less desirable one I love them old school anything
Same I’m 19 and I really appreciate the old stuff
51:05 With the price of new AND used vehicles these days, there might be a market to get some of these running and driving for those barely scraping by. It would be a giant middle finger to all those dealers ripping people off. I don't know how my kids are gonna make it in this world.
36:27 that's a 61 Impala bubble top! If i had time I'd go thru the whole video trying to identify what i could but i should get off my arse and do something
35:51 Could that be a 70s Mazda RX4? I'm a Chevy guy but i remember those had a very unique taillights from the stuff I was used to seeing as a teen in the 90s.
Where is this place ? I need some parts for my 72 Nova
What a shame seeing all these cats going back to the earth lol but that Acura legend is rare let me know if there's a motor in there and how that interior looks I'd pay good money for some parts
I actually have a decent amount of legend parts for sale on my website KyushaParts.com but I can get more for you too just checkout the website and send me an email
Shame I didnt see an eagle summit wagon or mitsubishi expo in that entire yard. Those are pretty hard to come by. Lots of 2nd gen escort parts though.
I do believe there is one or two I just didn’t show them cause the camera died
Pulsar Sportbak is getting hella expensive nowadays. You might want to get that, because it could fetch you something like 20k.
Even the RX-3 Sport Wagon can get you nice money if you know how to straighten metal. Crash damage write-off means the engine works perfectly fine. You can't crash if you don't go fast. That's a 10k car right there.
Also the green car between trees is a 2nd generation Datsun Sports/Fairlady.
If that's the 2000 spec, that's an easy 30-40k$, because they've shot up in value A LOT. But if it is a 1500/1600 spec, it still costs 15-20k$.
That 1980 Subaru Hatch 4WD is the rare version with the round headlighs.
You could flip it for a quick buck. Just cut the fenders, get some fenders from something else or an universal widebody and sell it as a resto-mod.
You could get some nice 7k for it.
Just like the Hatch, the Wagon 4WD 1600 can get you a nice 7k as well. And it's in better condition too.
These Subaru Leone-based variations are climbing up in price. In a few years, they might climb up even more.
BRUH, DAMN. An AMC Gremlin. Those, when restored, sell for 30k+.
The car you have no idea what is it, is a Buick Special. And they fetch 30-40k all day.
Bruh. If i were to live in the US, i'd buy one car per month from that place.
It's not that hard to claim ownership of an abbandoned car, from what i've read online. You just gotta go to the DMV, check the abbandoned cars list or report one as abbandoned if you see it. Then just get a title for it through the little process they have.
Owner wouldn’t sell any car from this yard. And if he did it would be one hell of a job getting it out onto the road
@@KyushaChronicles Ughhh... Cringe. Hoarder dude. 🙄🤦🏻♂️
Any of them would be worth restoring, imo, especially considering how much they cost.
That Pontiac lemant does not look like a Opel Kadet it is a Opel Kadet. It is a Opel Kadet whit a Pontiac logo slapped on to it.
Good to know
Volkswagen scirocco 16 valve woof burger edition is the best one. That is my favorite car in the yard if that is what it is
It’s definitely a sick car for sure !
Sick video bro
Appreciate it
Cash for clunkers makes sense if you take in account some of the "newer" cars in the old yard like the tbirds and Tauruses. Those cars should have been maybe 5-10 years old, thrown in there with the rest of those era cars.
Yea that’s what a lot of people are saying is this place is a huge result of cash for clunkers!
@@KyushaChronicles That era was around 2009 I believe. Lots of those cars were probably there since 1989 lol, at least the super old ones. Interesting to see that very much newer accord you pointed out though. Sad to think every car in there was someone's pride and joy at some point and drove wonderfully.
All those old 60 and 70's cars would have been junked years before cash for clunkers.
@@jasonliskey4980 Exactly
that was a Pontiac Firebird that you thought it was a Camaro
Wow what a yard ! Any French cars ? Old Renault or Peugeot
There’s quite a bit of everything I’m sure at some point I come across one of what you are looking for and if not it’s because the GoPro died so early !
Have you seen any DSMs laying around?
Might be a couple in that yard
Opel Astra
What State is this in?
Yo, as a fellow midwest classic Honda owner I'm always hurting for some parts, any chance you'd be willing to pass on the name of the place?? There's a ton I could use from there!
Email me through the website !
@@KyushaChronicles awesome man! Just shot you an email! Thanks!
@@KyushaChronicles Just making sure it came through?
@@SAD-MART I got it I will get back to you asap. I have a ton of part requests to go through, but I will get back to you
There’s never enough cars
Never enough
Looks. Like a Astra sri,GTE
What’s the time stamp ?
I would have bought the CarX and done a will it run
Good idea
Sorry meant crx
@@user-hi9te5vp8v i can see if thats an option in the future. Kind of like what vgg is doing right?
thatd be a badass video idea dude, or maybe even a complete american car to test your mechanic skills on something unfamiliar@@KyushaChronicles
Bro just look at the body style back in the day the everyone was a hippie and make some of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen
Ikr such cool style
Any Saab cars laying around
A couple
Do you have permission from the owner of the land to walk around and take parts? If not, I'd be careful...
Yeap! I know the owner well !
@@KyushaChronicles Thank goodness
Any old Mercedes at all?
I’ve seen a couple out there
@@KyushaChronicles would it be possible to someday get some cars out of there? Is it too difficult to get them out, or is the owner opposed to selling?
your Exsploring but also stealing . things should never be taken if they dont belong to you or you dont have the right to do so.
Good thing I have the right to do so and pay the owner for any parts I end up grabbing ! Thanks for your concern!
That's a bold claim...
