2 DOORS ONLY MOTOCROSS BIKES TO
So glad to see you back on here!! We were concerned about your recent posts! Stay strong and let this success show you how great of a Dad you are and how amazing of a family you have!!
Thank you .. we are good
@@Sleeperdude you should get that old diamond t truck at the entrance
I love how he interacts with his family.
1955 Cadillac
@@clevelandmaker386 I think he told me in the first video of this place that they are keeping that truck.
Really glad to see content still being made during sh*tty times. You guys are the best.
Thank you
I go through so many emotions watching you walk through all those cars. Knowing that so many are being scraped brings a tear to my eye.
Happy your grabbing up as many as you can. Appreciate your effort!!
Yeah it’s sad, doing what I can
Hi, here in the UK I've saved a few gems that were overlooked for years , but they are getting rare here, it seems in the USA, Canada etc there is a lot of "gems" that were parked up decades ago , outside and eventually overgrown ,seems the more land you have the less reason to do anything about the gems/junk you own /park up to die, not to far from me is a "parked" 1972 opal gt that's not moved in over 30 years ,but not for sale! ,my way of thinking is that if is lived then why continue to let it rot ? Please rescue as many as possible , those that are still metal an not held together with tree stumps an termite poop , I'm jealous of your opportunities , ps I owned a 1969 torino here in the UK , bought from the blues brother's autos in crewe , over 25 years ago , I was 20,and had the bug already, the same bug that's rocking throughout you and your family , , live the dream 👍
Thank you so much .. that’s awesome
I'm glad you're picking up the sponsors. Can't wait to see all of them start up. Poor wahwah and squeezy hung in there like champs.
Hope Ralphie gets his golf cart.
Thank you
Just think of all those new casings you get to replace make sure you get white walls on the ones that need it
@@dcformee123 ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! tires tireS TIReS!!!!!!!! :)) :))
I go hiking to discover and photograph stuff like this. It's becoming a hobby. The challenge is finding stuff that isn't cleaned up
That’s awesome
So sad to see all those classics crushed, but you have done your bit saving as many as you can. on the plus side Ralphie is becoming a proper comedian 🤣🤣 Thanks again guys, you're the best!
Thank you
This was great! There's a massive yard like this near me that I've been to a few times. Mostly 50s, 60s and early 70s cars. They've also been crushing them by the hundreds. It's heartbreaking! Thank you and your family for saving what you could! Best of luck!
Yeah it’s sad to see them crushed
Great video by the way I used to luv going to the scrap yard with my pop for bits for our cars I used to come bk with pockets full of fuses switches and bulbs lol 🤣👍💖
Yes 👍
Your son is such a joy to watch 😊. He’s positive no matter what. Big kudos to you and your wife for the great raisin y’all are doing!!
It's unfortunate to see those cars getting scrapped, I understand that not all can be sold but it's still a bummer..at least you are taking your time saving these! I saw some folks being upset with your choice of saving. I love the funky 80's vehicles! The Merkur is based off of the Ford Sierra, a English designed car and a powerhouse in its day.
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude no problem, fingers cross for the red box-top Fairmont. I hope they won't crush it!
They could all be sold, but they want the fast buck
@@pre1980cars That's very true. It hurts but that's how it is.
Just a thought Josh...do you have to have the brake pedal pushed before the Transmission selector will come out of Park on some of those 80,s square bodies.???
Y’all make me feel like I was as much a part of this adventure as your Dad. (Great guy btw). I think missed the part abuot who broke the come along. Soon your yard may look like the place you rescued them from. Hahahahaha
That’s funny thank you
That 351W in the 69 Torino would be a good starting point for a 408 stroker. The 69/70 blocks are considered the best strength-wise. Also the heads are the best factory Windsor-type as far as port size and compression goes. After the mid 70's 351W's used the same head as the 302's with smaller ports/valves.
Yes for sure
Hi that will be 351 Cleveland head best
@@garyjones7948 Back in the day swapping Cleveland heads onto a 351W gave the engine a big HP boost. Today's aftermarket Windsor heads are a great choice as they make good HP as well.
Torinos are worth a lot of money in parts
You get tears in your eyes, what great cars are being scrapped! The Ford Saturn (Ford Sierra) XR4TI was built in Germany by Karmann (VW Karmann Ghia etc.) in Germany-Osnabrück. It was only for the US market.
Great video!

Hi Family,
I realize those old Vega’s where rust buckets and early on they had major engine issues but I just love the Vega’s body lines. Reminds me of a little Camaro!
Keep up the great content!!
Thanks Josh, Tosh and family,
Thank you
.....Vegas' WERE rust buckets.....ever learn how to spell ??
in mid 70s we were junking them every week body were rotting around windows and fenders I wood take the good motors out, and the rare 3 or 4 speed ones take the whole assy out and transfer to an automatic car. plugs were there and pop em out and add clutch cables and pedal assembly. dash wood change too from standard to a GT fun cars but GM used bad metal for sheetmetal content
@@rsprockets7846 wow!! That’s a great story. Sounds like you really know the in’s and out’s of the Vega. My first car was a 70’ or 71’ Vega wagon. Automatic and pretty gutless. It’s a shame that GM did not do better quality control and put a good engine in it from the get go.
@@dennishough3709 yeah, we had it down to a science, the Canadian cars had a better build quialty than the LORDSTOWN ones, cars were intentionally sabotaged by workers when they sped up the line......offer owners 50 to 100 bucks for bad rusted out cars take tires alt rad starters winshields off then for street rodders the 3 or four speeds if it was a gt or custom interior we took the clutch assy the dash wiring harness mags etc off car then 4 street rodders the steering column and the locks ...if GM put the iron duke in in 71 and better quality metal content it wood have had a winner ...from 74 to 81 they were dying left and right
The 4x4 chassis under that falcon looks to be a international scout 80, with a 152 4cyl, half of a 304
Ok thanks
We had a 62 Scout and thats definatley what the engine looked like. Also the hubs had a large bolt pattern like that
@@jbncnow you could fold down the windshield on those early ones!
Love your show and the fact all your family and your little animals are a part of the videos
Thank you
Fun family adventures. I like when Ralphie SAID something like , "THAT'S WHAT THE ENVELOPE IS FOR"
Yes we are training him right 😂
Bummer they crushed some you were interested in .Sooo many cool cars in that place. Glad you could save a few of them for us viewers to follow. Call the wagon Colonel Mustard ! lol
That’s funny
Time to watch a rerun. Can't get enough of Dude & family.
My friend had a 1961 ford falcon. We put a 289 mustang engine in it with a 4 speed. We also had to replace the rear end and cut a drive shaft to fit. He also had to make engine mounts to fit. It was a nightmare to build , but it worked! This was all done around 1968, 1969. That was a neat Falcon.
That’s cool
A salvage yard is like a playground to me. Had fun watching that one. Looking forward to the next.
Thank you
Ralphie is earning that golf cart cred 😄😄 It's great to see you are keeping these from the crusher. Im tell you, I'm a big time wagon guy, but you're starting to make me like those Fox body wagons too. Can't wait for the upcoming videos 👍
Yes thank you
4:00 love the vibe of your family... and for gods sake... my heart broke in the intro... you HAVE to save ALL those old cars !! lol I'm sure half of them are rotten, but still you got to save them... ! lol
We are trying thank you
I still can´t believe how cruel and heartless these people are 😥 I´m glad you managed to save two more cars, can´t wait to see them running.
Hey Sleeper Dude and Family. Awesome video as always. Thank you for sharing this with us all. God Bless You All and hope all is going excellent for you all 🙏 🙌.
Thank you we are doing great
24:15 is not poison ivy. That's Virginia Creeper. 5 leaves, not 3. 37:16 "Look at them Jerusalem cruisers"... 🤣🤣🤣 Terrific content! I hope Ralphie finds his golf cart. Always great to see Sleeperdad getting in on the action. So many cars too far gone. Sad...
Yes thank you
Glad you went back. Ford V6 1980's. The head gaskets let go at 90,000 miles. A bitch to replace due to all the vacuum hoses in the way.
Ok thank you
Great job with the junkyard saves! Ralphie's really coming into his own on the camera.
What a fun unique and exciting family! Every single person adds unique content especially Ralphie thanks for all your time you guys put into it it's greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Thanks for sharing! That yellow wagon has to have been a taxi. Years ago around here there were two Fairmont taxis. One was indeed a wagon.
This is exactly what I thought when looking at the yellow ford wagon: this one had to be a taxi during its former life 😂
That’s cool your probably right
@@Sleeperdude are you willing to save the 2 door Belvidere? Or hook us up with who to call about it??
Sad to see those old cars getting crushed but glad you saved a few. Loved the video. Based on Ralphie’s Marketing and Promotional skills I think he deserves a golf cart.
Yeah for sure
Hi sleeper dude, how can I reach the owner? Thanks
Always pains me to see such rare, sought-after cars just rotting away. That Cyclone GT was awesome. My very first car was a '65 Galaxie 500 like the one there, dark metallic blue, 289...handed down from my father. I could watch you guys walk through there for days...Entertaining content Josh!
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude you have a drone to do the yard?????
Did you say Sanford & Son? Man, I'm 56 now and that was one of the first series we ever saw on TV. Great video once again.
Thank you
Yup, those good ol' plastic firewall fittings for the heater core. Dealt with those a couple of times, in the company truck I used to have.
'preciate that, GM.
Thank you
As fast as they were crushing those cars, you were lucky to get what you got ! Looking forward to the clean up vids ! Might be a few more you could get the more they clear out. The Futura is pretty neat !
Thank you.. yes your right
I don't want to speculate on reason for crusher or what effort was taken but this actually kind of upsets alot of us. See it more and more all the time, you know crusher is giving couple hundred a car. If any owners of collections like this are listening, before this happens please call your local car club, even county or state clubs. Give us say 4wks to save what we can at the price crusher is going to offer. I know we can't save them all but at least give us a chance before they're gone forever.
Yeah it’s sad
Looking forward to the next adventure guys! You all are always all in my prayers and especially Ralphie getting a golf cart too! I remember wanting a go cart at that age and it was the best thing ever when I finally got one to build👍 you all are awesome love yall and God bless 🙏
Thank you
Ralphie is my Dude....."That'll do donkey, ThAT'LL DO !!!!!" :)
He’s the best
I'm pretty sure that one is yellow because it was probably in taxi service, or possibly an airport limo. It more than likely had a spotlight because the government/military used those cars back in the 80s. Most famously by NASA and military police. Very cool acquisitions Josh! Can't wait to see the future videos on them. 👍👍👍
Yeah that makes sense
That Futura is SWEET! Definitely resto material. It looks like it would clean and polish up pretty nice the way it is. Sad to see so many cars get crushed. Even the ones I don't care for, someone else likes and could use some parts for. All of them have a story of some kind.
Yeah for sure .. I can’t wait to start working on it
Im glad you stopped and gave the datsuns and rx7s some love. Sad to see any of them go, harder and harder to find even for parts without costing an arm and a leg. I agree with your dad, painful to watch. Glad you saved some man even if for parts. Keep up the great videos, I think you doing a great. That 55 caddy looks awesome!
Thank you
So sad to see all the old cars getting crushed . Great video guys 👍🇺🇸
Yes it is thank you
My dad would love the Corolla. He used to do rally racing back in the day. He started off with a Datsun 540 and then got a Corolla, 1975, I think. He also owned one as his personal car and drove it until the body was falling apart, the throttle was stuck open, but the motor would never die. Then one day he merged onto an off ramp on a highway, went to make a downshift, and the shifter lever suddenly disappeared into the transmission tunnel. Then came a massive crash as the transmission fell out of the car... On the highway! Guess you could say he made a DOWNshift alright🤣! I think he misses that car but would never say so because he hates the newer Toyota cars LOL. Thanks for saving some of those cars. I hate to hear about these classics getting crushed.
He had some cool ones
Good old Josh quick fix and back on the road, i have to say you have the perfect family 🙏🏾 lucky guy right there, im glad to be able to come along with your little ventures god bless youtube
Yeah that worked out pretty good I’m glad you like our channel
Good memories with my wife back when we were teens in a fairmont wagon. Happy to see them being saved
Glad you enjoy them
You guys walked right past a mint looking boat with a Mercury on the back. Might be some fun for you and Ralphie this summer.
Yeah could be
@@Sleeperdude Might be a fun alternative to the golf cart if he wasn’t able to secure one of those beauty’s.
Yeah, it's heartbreaking seeing them getting crushed =/ At least, a lot of rare ones are claimed or have a K, so there's still hope for them.
Someone needs to save that one in 23:50 or at least reuse the good parts on for another unit. It's a really cool one.
Ok thanks
It's sad that they went and crushed your wagon, thanks for showing us all the wonderful car's and hurst, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thank you
You guys have all the fun! That yard is a restorers haven. Sad that a couple cars you marked were gone, I hope you manage to get the rest you marked and maybe the owner will let you take a couple you would like that he wanted to keep.
Yeah maybe so he’s very nice
Me and my husband Tommy Jackson are always checking on you guys, great job and good videos!!!!
Thank you
OMG Sleeperdude. All of The first 10 or 15 cars that you showed in the beginning were the same as some of the ones I owned back in the 80,s early 90,s We definitely have very simular tastes in cars. It's just a shame they were left here to rot for so long. I hope people can save all they can.
Yeah all the good ones are claimed
Thank you for saving what you could. If I had the property to store classic cars on and I lived closer to you, I would have grabbed up a bunch of those historical beauties. Some of those cars you never see anymore. I was hoping to see a 70's Honda Civic with the standard bright yellow paint job. They must have crushed every 70's vintage Honda Civic in a span of 5 years or less back in the early to mid 90's. Then collectors bought the rest of them up. I never ever see one anymore. They were as common as a June bug in June at one time. I noticed and I am sure everyone else noticed that you sure do love those Fairmont's. They were real good cars. I also loved the Granada's. They felt luxurious at an economy price. Very comfortable car. Ok, the other reason I am writing is I can't stand Vienna Sausages. The smell, the taste makes me want to puke. Seeing you all jump on a can every episode put's me at no choice but to stop watching at that point. It's a shame because I enjoy watching every show. When I see that can in your hands, it's over for me. Please cut the Vienna Sausages out of all future shows or I will be forced to purchase every can within a 50 mile range of you and have them crushed. LOL
That’s funny my wife can’t stand them either ..
That looks like so much fun junkin with the family, You need the Hearse for sure. Look forward to see some of the Fairmont's and Ltd wagon come back from the dead. I find it funny you didn't brush off the top of the cars before bringing them back LOL. Thanks for sharing
Thank you I’m glad you like it
I think you should say; "Dad broke my come-along." in every episode as a running inside joke.🤣
That’s great
Hi from uk Josh and all👋👍 you got your work cut out for you on all these projects now👌 cant wait to see how they all clean up and hope they all dont pose too much of a challange👍 think thats the first time av seen rocky on a diet😂😂 nice to see him eating the good stuff for a change😂👍 pleased you all had a blast and shame you lost 2 tho 😢 but great goin and also when getting car onto rollback if it cockeyed rather than a come along or breaking yourself use the truck to advantage if 2 wheels on rollback if you pulled forward on right lock it would of straightened car 👌 or vice versa if cars straddled of right side pull forward on left lock to straighten👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
Thank you
If Ralphy gets an electric golf cart you gotta replace the roof with solar panels, I am sure he is gonna love that idea
Oh wow
one of my favorite cars Josh, the 69 and 70 TorinoGT. I was Ralphies age when my dad bought a 70 GT new at the Ford dealer in NJ but his first choice was the 69 GT but it was too late. just wanted to share that with you Josh !!
Thank you
That place is absolutely amazing. I wish I could’ve been one of the first ones to get there and see everything places like that are dwindling and fast.
Yeah I was even a little late
@@Sleeperdude I have to ask how do you even find places like that?
That 302 Fairmont is to die for. So glad you saved it. I had a 78 and 79. Unfortunately both were 4 door straight 6's. Still love that car.
Thank you
It's good to see people saving some of these old cars 🙂
Thank you
hope the big block was removed from that dark blue chrysler also.
Love it, the whole family dynamics is so fun to watch! Thank you 😊 🥰
Thank you
The slant four on the four wheel drive frame would be an international scout probably, Pontiac also made a slant four, both of them were half of a V8
Ok good to know thanks
I used to work for a company that had a fleet of new cars for the employees to drive. It was a company that produced shop manuals for government agencies like Lockheed, Rockwell International and Boeing aircraft. I was a Technical illustrator at the time doing illustrations of mechanical components and exploded views of motors and jet engines or whatever was needed. We did mostly government manuals and the updates on parts. So anyway we had about 12 cars that were leased from Ford and available for the employees to use. I remember driving these brand new Ford Fairmonts, LTD's, and Granada's.all over Los Angeles. They were very comfortable and reliable. It's so strange to see those cars so dirty and worn out now. I still remember them with that new car smell and so clean inside. To see them in such neglected condition and worn out is such a testament to how old I am. The 80's were an awesome era.
Yes for sure
Aint seen a Grip Spur since 99! 😄. Seriously though, we sold the heck out of them when i worked at tha Co-op. You could go just about anywhere you wanted in your 2 wheel drive pickup, with them on the back. Awesome mud casings.
Yeah they were the best
Great that you're back and great video content yet again!Keep up the great work you're doing and the best and safest to you and family.
Thank you
Love the Futura. I wish my friend Jon had sold me his but he took it to California with him in 89.
That would have been cool
That glass window is so they can't get the driver when they come back to life 🤣😂 looks great though you don't see windows like that anymore, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Exactly thanks
Down in Mississippi our long time family friend had a lot with probably a couple thousand cars. It was so fun to go and look at all the old cars
Nice
It's hard to believe all of those cars were brand new on a showroom floor at one point in time.
That’s right
the Torino GT looked like a good find. too bad it was claimed several times. I'm guessing they're bidding on it?
Yeah something like that
Happy 4th wonderful folks!
Thank you.
Josh, I was a always a big fan of the Ford Falcon, early mustang, and Maverick. Had at least one of each of them, and loved them all. All of them were straight 6 cylinder engines. The 65, and 66 mustangs I had , were pretty quick from light to light, with the 200 ci six, and 3 speed. Very torqey, as I stripped 2 transmissions first gears. Thanks for the blast from the past! Love the show, and your family! God Bless you!🙏🏻
Thank you
These videos make me think of things I've always wanted to do. Like take the cab of an old farm truck (50's or 40"s) put it on a 90"s chassis and make a step side bad behind it with matching scale
Very cool
Wow some great finds and I am sure some good ones got crushed
Yeah probably so
I love your videos they keep getting better. keep up the good work
Thank you
I have to agree about the Fairmonts 🤮. But we'll always watch your channel you guys are just too good. 🤣👍. Ralphie for president Rocky for vice president
Thank you
I've been to many yards in my life, and I've never gone wearing flip flops. Your a brave man. Love your son's remark, I'm jacked up on Mountain Dew.
Yeah he’s funny
Grandpa, "Rolled 1 and burnt 1!!!!!" lmao :)
I’m glad you liked it
Loving the videos man keep it up
Thank you
Rolled one burnt one🤣. I would save all possible Studebaker Hawks if I had your skills, loved those body styles and performance engines
Thank you
Le maître des gougonns
Whatsa gougonn? 🤔
@@JohnShinn1960 it's a french québécois slang term for flip flops
Ltd was used as cop cars in the 70's ,80's and the 90's.. 1 of my favorites was my 1981 mercury zepher. Rear wheel drive,2 bench seats,huge trunck!! Room for our whole family.
Yeah I have seen a couple they are cool
He's all jacked up on Mountain Dew🤣. Guys need to be doing more videos please👍🇺🇸
I know right
It's people like that, that just irritated me
I'm sorry the young one was sick , hope she is better, man there is a lot of great cars and trucks there !!!!!
Yep all good
@ 47:29 I'm missing that hood ornament for my 1948 M5 Studebaker pick up. The rest of the chrome trim is on it. I believe that is an 'AC2500', one of the only accessories that was on my truck from the factory
I was wondering what that hood was off of
Ahhh!!!! That 1972 Charger at the beginning is a really rare factory ASC sunroof car. That is very rare and very valuable
Oh cool
That 82 New Yorker M-body at 21:45 is a rare piece since it's a base model, most were NY 5th Avenues and the Fox Body Marquis is another you don't see everyday. I had an 85 and thought it was a well built car and saw one advertised on craigslist Pittsburgh for $2500.
Yeah they are cool
Sad to see so many of those old cars getting crushed. It's so cool you love those fox body Fairmonts! They are cool cars. I would love to find one myself.
Thank you
The one yard I used to go to had 8,000 cars from the '20's to the '80' s. When it got cleared out I damn near cried. Yards like this need to be protected.
It can be emotional for sure
Hey Josh glad to see everybody back safe! Really think you got some great cars there before all of the are gone to start making something nice.I am sure Rocky will be ready to get working on them😊.
Yes for sure thank you
The first car I bought, was a brand new AMC concord two door landau top. It had a twin colour(bronze-gold) exterior and tan-crushed velvet interior! It had a 4.2 liter engine! I was the first in the family with an American car....
So cool
Sure am glad that you brought all those pine needles and leaves home...good "think ahead" garden mulch. Free with your purchases. Be safe. GOD bless (hope no snakes???)
Very true
You should get the old semi and put a tilt bed on it to haul cars/trucks that you get. Ralphie will love it! Great videos brother 👍
Yes that would be cool
Go get that boy his golf cart! LOL. Great finds from that yard, cant wait for the clean up videos
We are gonna see if he will sell one
Glad you saved these cars. Hope they turn out. Sorry missed this Video!
That’s fine thanks for watching
I had that same heater hose quick connect failure on my Chevy. I replaced both of them. I did not have the tool to get them loose, so i lightly scored them with a sawzall, and broke them apart. Mook from Junkyard Digs got me into a frozen chicken nugget addiction. Toaster ovens work great cooking them.
That’s funny thank you
The Ford Country Sedan Wagon @ 33:30 is definitely worth saving! It looks to be very solid and complete. Was it claimed? Doesn't appear to be..
The owner is keeping it
