I was told by some friends about a car collection that was hidden in the mountains of Tennessee that I had to go check out. The grandpa who was a child of the Great Depression never got rid of anything that he thought he might could use again. So he ended up with a whole farm full of old cars, trucks, vans, and other old antiques. Now the grandson is having to sell them all to clean the place up and we ended up buying a few.

That buggy said was calling a stick bug here in Florida we call it a praying mantis because it's constantly rubbing his two front feet together and it looks like they're praying
Merlin's old school garage rebuilt one of these Cushmans.
Josh, I REALLY want a that's unfortunate tee, XL, blue letters. Love love love your vids! Love your sweet family. Hubby too! From Marilyn C.
Just a slick trick some tow truck drivers taught me when unloading cars from their flatbed trucks ( aka rollback) use a little dish soap under the tires if they dont roll it'll slide right off your trailer and won't harm anything. I saw you struggling with a few cars on the show and forgot to pass on the tid bit of info. Hope this helps you in the future... Keep up the great content guys.
You really need to watch a video on Bump Keys, they will work any lock.
Just an old man here that loves the video's.....I like that you and your family work together..I lost my father and he taught me everything about cars ...You guys be blessed... everyone be blessed..
i didnt get to do much with my father either, i was pretty young when i did we would go fishing or hunting but even then we never saw anything when hunting due to his breathing. he had emphysema.
And on the 6th day, there was SleeperDude and for 102 minutes, all was good in the world. As Always, much thanks to everyone involved 🙏
I like when all the sellers say " It used to Run ". Of course it did, they all used to.
"Ran when parked" yeah lots of cars park while they are running. 😂
Yep
That Nova. Wagon... A. NOVA CANE........@@Sleeperdude
Here's a picture of me when I was younger 😮
The SleeperParents keep these kids busy and out of trouble. What a nice Sleeper family. Another awesome video. Shawn 😊
Squeeze just cracks me up! 😂
Such a free spirit
Everyone in the family is very entertaining in their own way and I love watching your videos!
She and Wawa are beautiful babies❤
OMG Squeezee was fighting sooo hard to contain her enthusiasm at being there looking at the old cars🤣😅
Yeah, it reminds me of when I went into Bath and Bodyworks with my daughter-in-law. But I didn't complain because she went into Harbor Freight with me and didn't say a word. With families, it's all about trade-offs.
She did find a turtle so wasent all bad
Thats so funny I think shes ready to go home.
Ready to go home when y'all left the house
Perhaps a couple more years, driving age, she might be interested in bringing rides home ? 😍
I could be totally wrong but that Cushman looks like it was a police or a meter maid-mobile. The blue & white paint and extra lights on the side and what not looks police/parking authority. In fact if you Google police Cushman you’ll see what I mean. I laughed as soon as I saw it and said to my self just wait till they move it, those things are ridiculously heavy for what they are. They called them Haulsters and Trucksters. I have one with a little dump bed on it I bought to redo someday but have yet to get around to it. Parts pretty readily available. It wouldn’t be a terrible candidate to convert to electric if it’s locked up.
I'm glad no one was hurt, a specialty when she fell!!!
Yep all good
Watching Sleeperdude is better than watching a Saturday afternoon movie.
Thank you
Best channel on UA-cam!
NOT the Hallmark Romance channel!
I can remember when you couldn't give a station wagon away .
I wish I had money for them back then if I was even alive I’ve always loved wagons
The big suv's & mini-vans killed 'em.
Now that you can't buy a new one people are finally starting to realize they were better than these big SUVs that are just a nuisance.
andreamills5852 2years ago I was looking for a 1962 to 1968 Chevy station wagon. I just asked for two things. It needed to run and drive. I didn't care what color it was or how much rust I had to fix. And in the state that I live in there were none for sale anywhere. So I now have a restored 1967 Mercury Cougar instead, but someday I'll have my wagon.
Used to buy them real cheap for the drive trains man there were a cpl I wish I hadn't took apart these days
Regarding the holes in the shock towers, Ford didn't put grease fittings on their upper control arms back then, and a lot of guys would cut holes there to access and remove the end plugs and install grease fittings. Other than removing the control arms, that was the quickest way to do it. You see a lot of old Mustangs that have been "modded" in this way. New aftermarket control arms have a 90 degree fitting installed so you can grease them when needed.
I am a Volvo guy, I have 2 240s currently, and have owned about 4 more which I fixed up and sold. You don't see too many 140s, that one certainly deserves to be saved.
right !!
One of my favorite times of the week. Thanks Sleeperdude fam!
I never have the right words to express just how much I look forward to your videos every Saturday!!Your channel is THE ONLY CHANNEL that I really get excited about when it get closer to Saturday!Your kids are THE HARDEST WORKING KIDS ON UA-cam!!I think the Fairmont wagon is the best of the ones you brought home,second is the Nova wagon.I'll be looking forward to seeing the Fairmont cleaned out and hopefully you'll be able to peice the engine together enough to get it running.Keep up the great videos and continued success for you and family.
Wa really knows what she's doing when it comes to unloading that Maverick.
She does good
You could always take the outer tires off of the truck so it's not too wide.
That’s true
the sound of duelling Banjos starts in the background
nothing wrong with a little bluegrass.
I would give that dude the bare minimum value for those cars and get the heck out of there.
baldyoldfart5828 And the scary part is the radio was Not on.
Blows my mind that some people will not let go of a vehicle (the vans), sadly the rust and weathering away will get far worse to the point no one will want them. Thanks for the Sleeperdude and Family video. Always brings a smile to my face. Great family😃
The shredder will love them.
@@matzrat5006 $1,500 for a car thats been siting for 40 years. Big old nope. Its like house, people think things are worth more than they really are.
@@matzrat5006 also ran when parked lol
@@matzrat5006 Then Off to Toyota Jan. For MANY Brand Toyota's.. Tundra's and Baby Tundra's.
@@jonathanjones4125 AMEN SISTA! My Comments Exactly.
My first car was a '63 Chevy II Nova. My grandfather drove a '64 Nova wagon, and my other grandmother on the other side drove a '66 black Nova. Wow. Thanks for the memories.
That’s cool me too
You can tell his aunt is no stranger to hard work, jump right in there and git er done lol. Love to see all the cool ole classics! Good stuff!
That’s right she’s a hard worker
91 comments already, I must have been sleeping. Thank you SD family.
That Maverick Grabber is gonna look awesome cleaned up
Yes can’t wait
In 2001 I found a 1980 Volvo GL240 in a junk yord that belonged to an elderly couple who could no longer drive a manual shift. It had 53.000 original moles on, Got close to 40 mpg with an exhaust mod and would burn the casings of in first, second and it would chirp in third. I paid $500 bucks for it.
Very cool
I have seen a few people put LS motors in the Volvos
This my absolute favorite channel It use to be a tie between you guys and PUDDIN BUT THIS EPISODE RIGHT HERE TOOK THE CAKE IT WAS THE TIE BREAKER I HAVE TO SAY I JUST LOVE IT WHEN YOU TAKE THE TROUPS TO SAVE A BUNCH OF OLD GEMS FROM THE AUTOMOBILE GRAVEYARD I JUST KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE THANKS SUPERDUDE AND SUPERCHICK PLUS CHICKLINGS MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS ALL OF YOU THE WAY HE HAS 🙏🏾🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Oh and that CUSHMAN IS THE BEE'S KNEE'S 🐝🐝 🐝
WaWa needs the VW bus to go with her Beetle! Paint it like Fillmore from "Cars"!
Yes!!
Hold out for a VW bus with all the windows
What a nice guy, it’s rare to find people that will give you full access to their property even if they are selling stuff
That’s true
He's Gotta to Keep Them out of Toyota Jan's Hands.
Thank you guys!!
Getting my Sleeper Dude fix waited all week woop.
My favourite family to watch on an early sunday morning from Australia 🇦🇺 🎉❤ live you all guys
What a great video, it reminded me of the times my dad and I used to walk through junk yards looking for parts to fix his cars. One in particular I recall was spread out in a forest like this, complete with hills and creeks and we spent 1/2 a day just walking around looking at the old vehicles and wondering what the story was behind them. Your kids are going to have great memories like I do.
Man this guy knows
his cars
For sure
He should. He's been looking at them his whole life.
I tell you what
Auntie there...
She's a looker!
She's county cute in many ways!
With all the non-rolling cars you get, make yourself a large metal skid plate to unload the cars from your trailer onto. Then drag the skid plate and the car to your storage place. Then you don't have to worry about steering or damage. I am thinking out of the box.
Cushman was DEFINITELY a mail delivery truck. I remember them just like that when I was a kid .. and I’m 61 now…..that is super cool and worth restoring. !!….I would paint it back blue and white even looks like y’all had a great hall for under $4000 is really awesome ….The Grabbers mavericks is super rare…I haven’t seen one like that and 50 years.!!…. Love the nova wagon too.
Very cool thank you
every time you put new video coming, I sit and watch the clock
That kush man would be perfect for events! You could haul the whole family around in it.😁
Yes!!!
The couple they bought the cars from are good people. Yeah they wanted to sell the cars but they didn’t have to help them get them out of the woods, they could have told them getting out of the woods was their problem
Your right
Sitting at home resting in bed with 'Rona, this is the only channel that put a smile on my face, love you folks 😍
The ole Cushman Postal delivery is something i have had an eye on. My thought is to get a newer side by side, put the cushman body on it, making it 4 wheels & safer & donating it to my local carrier. My first car was a 1974 4 door Nova with a straight 6. I Loved that car. Didn't have to open car doors for friends to get in the back & easy to work on. The Grabber looks like it'll clean up nice. Ty Sleeperdude family for taking us along
Very cool
The cut out holes are for greasing the suspension. They were bad to squeak.
Josh, Always grab a huge bottle of dollar gentral windshield wiper fluid. Use it to "Slick" the ramps and bed when loading locked up casings. Dosent stain like dish soap and cheap fix. (Old rollback life hack)
Squeeze looks so Thrilled 😂
She's a princess she doesn't like this hillbilly stuff😅
@@danielknepper6884 Lol 🤣 Yes she is
She only like nice shiny things 🤣
@@Sleeperdude Lol 🤣
You said it. You were grading the driveway with the mini postal truck/trike. Thats why it was so hard pulling.
Hey sleeper dude, I love the Chevy 2 wagon. I have one like it. That’s the base model “100” series. First year for 5 lugs and a V-8 was available for the first time in 64. Will be watching for the build. Thanks for taking us along.
I'm always excited about what classic car you will find and restore.
Been waiting all week for a new Sleeper dude video.
me too
19:13 "A. D. Anderson" was a Baltimore, Maryland Chevrolet dealership that grew to include Olds, Mercedes-Benz and several other European brands. It is still in existence today as Anderson Automotive with Buick, GMC and Honda outlets in the Baltimore metro area.
Very cool
I love it when you go to the junkyards my father was in the junkyard business for over 60 years. He had 1000 cars at one time.
Josh was going to stop the cushman from hitting the tree with his body. That's dedication.
That's a good mountain woman in the blue shirt. Not afraid to get her hands dirty !
You ain’t kidding
My oldest brother graduated in 1974 and got a 1974 Maverick Grabber , the exact blue one you got. It was a 4 speed manual, it was sitting in parking lot when he came out. Funny thing was he never drove a manual , he was valedictorian but couldn’t even drive it home lol so at 12 years old I drove it home for him! Great video guys!
Just started watching this and gave me the motivation to build the 302 for my Mercury cougar
Love mavericks, I bought one for $150, no rust, straight 6. Freeze plugs were all rusted out. I replaced all the freeze plugs and drove it as a parts runner for many years. Then sold it for $1,200.
Awesome
Oh yes, lunch is cooked, a cold beverage in front of me, AND Sleeperdude is on. Life is good.
Central California watching
Awesome!!
$1,200 for that Maverick? $1,500 for the Nova wagon, Did I hear that right?
My dad bought the same body style maverick in 1980 for $400
Will a LS fit in that cushman
Biden nomics everything's higher now after Trump was in office😅😅😅😅😅
Don't like the price don't buy it, if it's yours ask whatever you want
@@danielknepper6884 Yeah and over 1 Million people died on donnie's watch.
Started watching last night, just finished the video. Love your content and learning about old cars. Thank you for all you do.
Dang it’s nice seeing the old style cars
CUSHMAN i have a 1956 18 horse three speed. It a six volt . The generator is the starter . I bought it 10 years ago and haven't got to it yep . I'll be excited as Ralfy to see it get worked on . Bless you all .
Thank you
I can feel ticks crawling on me
Lolol I would not be a fan of the snakes at all !!!!!!!!!
My favorite time of the week to watch a new sleeperdude video
Thank you
Your girls are awesome, especially Squeezy. She hates doing this, but she's there anyway. Wawa is a real trooper. And Ralphie, he's like his Dad, he loves this stuff. Sporting his knife. lol
Yeah for sure
What a journey of rescue old cars. Had a laugh when Tosh bit the dust!😅😊❤
Thanks, Sleeperdude family for another great video!!
Thank you
I like Mobil stuff!
Thanks for reviving all those station wagons and sundry other vehicles.
Thank you for watching
I hope if they decide to sell the vans they let you guys know and you can get that VW for WaWa
Love your channel. That snake was a ringneck. Completely harmless and it was actually full grown. They only get to be about 10 in long 12 in tops. You're actually lucky to see one. Because they're so small and they're usually hidden under leaves and brush most people never get to see one in the wild. They eat little tiny bugs. Years ago I saved one from a swimming pool. Friendly little snakes. They don't have the bite power in the jaw to break human skin or for you to even feel it if they bit you. If you ever see one again feel free to pick it up and check it out before you put it back down. Keep up the great videos. I absolutely love this one so many cars
That's a pretty early bus, '61 was the last year for those bullet style turn signals. It's crazy what they go for these days, even in that condition.
Uh oh! I gotta stay away from places like that. Every time I go someplace like that, around four or so rusty old cars and trucks follow me home. We run a no kill shelter for rusty old iron.
If we didn't learn anything else, we learned that that lady was the "Boss" of that mountain!!! Great adventure as usual! I've gone back and watched all of the videos of Wa's Beetle purchase through the car show. I'm so glad that she got her special Bug and I'm so glad that I got to experience the same thing when mine was new. Keep on making these wholesome videos for us and I can tell you that I'll be looking for new installments!
That’s true
I learned to drive a 3 on the tree on one of those cushmans! Fun little rigs for sure! Rear brakes are usually neglected, so good luck!
I’m with Wawa the bus is the coolest car that is in that junkyard well to me and Wawa I’m vw lover ❤
I'm 74 years old and I'm a disabled veteran and I do the same thing you guys do and I can't walk without a crutch or a scooter. I wish I could get paid for doing this stuff but I don't know how and I got no help.i like your vidioes just not your choice of some cars. You got a great family..
We used have those produce stands where you could get cucumbers and tomatoes and corn and they had a little box you stuck cash in. I miss those days. Can’t do that anymore round here, now we have people snatching ya packages off the porch. Crazy times. Great video
That was a Ring Neck snake their harmless and make great pets very calm
Ok thanks
@@Sleeperdude🤣😂🤣 I can tell you’re impressed… 😂
I could definitely see doing a full resto on the Nova station wagon as a daily driver, sweet ride.
Thank you
Great video!! My Mom's first car was a '62 Chevy II Nova sedan, blue w/ a white top that I still remember riding around in as a child. Loved that little car, Mom named her "Minnie Lee." My Dad's car of note was a '57 Dodge Coronet sedan, 2-tone green with the push-button transmission. Would love to find either of those now in any condition! Thanks again for sparking wonderful memories! Looking forward to you working on the Nova!!
Josh the shock towers on the Grabber are most likely torched out so they could grease the front suspension. That was common back then, Ford for some reason thought it would never need to be greased.
That Belvedere was pretty sweet. You guys scored big on that find that Cushman is really neat.
Another great video from the Sleeperdude crew. Thank you for everything you do to bring us these awesome videos.
Can't wait to see the Grabber Run
Yes!!!
Ok... just off the intro reel... Im excited for the amount of sketch I'm about to witness🤣Sketch meter at an all time high for Sleeper Fam.. glad yall are all OK most importantly. 👏🏾👏🏾WOOOOOOOO!!
My first car back in 72, was a navy blue 63 Chevy 2 station wagon 4 door. Long story short, got it for $50 add long as I replaced the engine and transmission in my back yard. Drove it to HS for two years. Small 6 with 3 on the tree.
I collect and restore vintage room air conditioners, that doesn't appear to be in too bad of condition. I promise you that will either work perfectly, or work with little work done to it. WAY better than any of the junk made today. Whatever you do, don't let that go to the scrap pile.
I always think it`s funny when they say "it used to run". All cars used to run and most of them "ran when parked" if they had an engine in them at least.
That’s true
Oh it’s so Good to See You Fine Folk’s
Thank you
Cool‼️😀 Thanks Grampa ‼️
I"m pretty sure the VW Bus is a 57. need to get a look at the rear tail lights , but i think I saw the round little ones like on my 57. I think they went to the larger taillight in 58 and no lip on the rear wheel wells in 57.
Love you guys keep on doing what you do....
Yeah. Not sure hopefully the decided to sell it
ya know that Maverick would be lookin good with a 351 Cleveland in it🤣
or a 460
Yep
Love old wagons 😍
Cushmans were common campus vehicles before electric golf carts became cheaper. I worked at a government base in the SF bay are 25 years ago and the motor pool had a fleet of 4 wheel cushmans, and they were so fun! The shifter for it was actually to the side of the seat, can’t remember if it was right or left but it was easy to get used to. But we would race them a bit because the base wasn’t very crowded, soooooo fun!
That sounds like a blast
What a great hunt! Id love the Cushman! Ralf needs to start on it asap. In my opinion from Georgia, go back and make an offer on the GMC!!!! Just the cabs are worth more than what your gonna pay for it. Flip it and make $$ if you don't want to make it a runner (cut the frame down for sure) . Now hurry up and get us done more videos posted. Always a pleasure watching such a great family work together for a common interest.
Save the 2 door 38:50 Plymouth
👍👍
Is that the Griswold Christmas vacation wagon?!
No but similar
The Christmas Vacation one was a Taurus. The Vacation (first film) was an LTD.Unless you're joking around. Then, yes, it's exactly the same!
I picked up a 64 falcon to work on with my daughter. It's easier to teach on an older car. Always glad to see your family having fun together
The torch holes are so they could put grease fittings in the suspension and grease them. Ford made it where there was no way to grease these. So you had to do this to stop the creaking noises! I did this same thing with my 76 only I did a little neater job back in the day……
Ok thanks
Well Hello there Yahoo sleeper dude and family and pets ☺️ will be with you all around 4pm Pacific Time 👍👍💪💪💪🥰
The "u-joint" thing thats bad on the kushman is called a WEBO or flex disc joint just like most European cars have but in a large scale. You might be able to find one but its going to take some searching. I know that some farm equipment take the same one. Might have to buy a few to figure out the right one.
Really enjoy watching you all work together. Great videos. Keep em coming.
Some great new cars for the fleet, hopefully you get to go back for more later. The people seemed really nice and they put in the work to help you get them out
I hope so too! Yes they did
@@Sleeperdude I love the wood grain wagon btw, reminds me a lot of the wagon in Terminator 2
@CrusadesOClock
Yeah! I was thinking the Griswold's wagon too lol
I would love to see you do something with the old Volvo!
Yeah it is cool
Me too! Perhaps it would be a cool daily driver for Squeezy when she' grown up. Volvos are often driven by artists (and they're soo reliable!).
Yes or a rally car.
