Love looking at these old yards. I remember riding with my dad in his 38 olds to Republic Steel and Iron in Cicero , ill. to junk the olds. Right next door was Al's Auto Graveyard. Mom was following behind in our "new" car, a used 51 Pontiac. That was 1955 or 56. There was a whole bunch of old motorcycles lined up, ready to be scrapped. My older brother was getting on them. Them were the days. Wish I still had that 38 Olds.
I love that 1976 Ford Elite that had slide down the hill near the begining of the video. It really looked together and in decent condition from where you were standing. I love those 1970's luxury coupes.
Thanks, I love going through old junk yards like this. I remember going with my Dad 50 years ago & he would point out his high school buddys' old car or Uncle Ted's car, etc....
Man u 2 r in a forest of giants man u totally would get lost in there like a little kid that kid I was impressed by his knowledge one lucky kid thank u u two Richard and Christina for another adventure on the hill of dreams
The owner had to have been a Ford nut! Enjoyed the tour……I have done these many times. I remember in the early 80’s you could buy a perfect rust free 57 fender for $20……. Happy Birthday Christina…….WOW! What she wanted for her birthday….. Something 99% of us men only dream of. Richard, you certainly are a blessed man. Oh yeah, love Christina’s humor………picked up on a couple things……LOL 😂
Thank you for the tour of this junkyard. I'm a miniaturist; in the process of making a junkyard diorama, and your video gave me so many ideas to work from.
Glad you liked it! I'd love to see a picture of your diorama. In the past I have built a couple of 1/24 scale models into abandoned vehicles, one of which I still have 30 years later. if you have a pic and would share it, my email is rdb6x@yahoo.com
We wanted to thank you. We watched your video of the Dickson, Tennessee junk Yard and saw 2 1951 Plymouths. We needed some chrome pieces So we went there, we live in Kentucky, and bought the chrome we needed. So thank you for showing us where to go . Love your show. Keep up the good information. 👍🏻🚗🚙🛻
"Where's the dipstick?" Most of them are in Washington, DC. Richard, at 48:16, that is a '55. On the '56 the grill ran over the top of the parking lights. I had a '56 'way back when.
I love exploring old junk yards! So many cool old cars in them. Thanks for taking us through a tour of this old yard. Its like seeing artwork in the woods and Happy birthday Christina!
Mr. B. Here ! 👀☕️🍩😎 Good morning guys ! Some times a vehicle with no drive train might be a blessing ! You may said why , it would less cost if the frame is workable & body is workable you or the builder can build in budget new old car ! Good to see salvage yard video ; Steve Magnante is under the weather for some so morning at the yard is 👍👍👍. Glad to see these vehicles by you good job .
Yes I enjoyed this visit mainly thanks to your nice comments & short stories ! A particular but nice birthday gift indeed ... The NSU Prinz "one" items were deeply unexpected ... I could not believe ... So many items slightly & quietly reaching the end (of car life) there, without any care ...
Greetings from Scotland,Richard & Christina. Happy birthday Christina. What a great junk yard. Plenty opportunities for Richard to add to his collection of Americana…..😂. Some nice Old Ford’s and Chevrolets to be considered. You guys are so lucky with the lack of rust on these old vehicles. Over here in Scotland rust is the only thing left ! Thanks for another excellent video. It’s always nice to have an opportunity to look at potential rescues. All the best John
Thanks Terry! We appreciate the support you show our channel! Richard had heart surgery a few days ago, so a bit behind in answering comments. He's doing well so no worries!
@@christinarust6957 Christina I had by-pass myself when a young man. I’m sure it’s came a long way since then. Just had my hip replaced and prior to that my knee same side. And I’m doing well myself. Love you guys. And all you put out! ❤️👍👊 my prayers to you 🙏🏻
You are a lucky man Richard you have a great Classy lady in your life that you can take to a fancy restaurant one time and next she will Romp around with you in a junkyard so Awesome 👍
Richard & Christina, didn't realize this classic bone yard was this close to home. Great video. Definitely on my bucket list to go visit. I just purchased a 1940 Chevy Master Deluxe 2dr Sedan. CA car will little rust. Sorry to hear about your heart surgery. Hope you have a speedy recovery, so you can do some more wrenching. Take care & keep up the good work on the videos! Rob
This is a great old Junk Yard. My first car I purchased was an 1953. Bel Air. That old Rancheo is cool. If you find a Ford 1969 Torino Cobra. That’s a rare car. And yes a ton of old Ford Truck parts. Also saw a 66 Cadillac. Just at tons of old Iron. Think you guys found a honey hole.Been waiting to see a critter jump out. Thank you Richard and Christina. For the tour. 💯👍Also Happy Birthday Christina🎂
I did not know they made a Torino Cobra. I had the 1969 Cobra with the 428 Cobra-jet, but it was the Fairlane body. I just Googled your car and mine was definitely different.
Happy birthday, Christina! 😎🎈🎁🎂 Ive been wanting to go back to a junkyard myself. There's all kinds of treasures there as we know of course. Thanks for sharing, Richard and Christina! Lots of amazing cars there!
Great tour and Happy Birthday Christina!!! When I lived in The Bronx, N.Y. in the 60's and early seventies, my Dad and I would go to all of the junkyards to look for parts for my '53 and '58 Chevys! Back then you could go into the yards and remove any parts that you wanted and pay the owner at the entrance. They are all gone now. I treasure that time with my Dad.
Ever since I was a kid I loved walking auto graveyards and like you imagined what the cars looked like when they were still on the road. I would think about the original owner who first drove it off the dealer lot brand new and how proud they were to own it!
Sweet lady at the end of the video. And it looked like a nice Studebaker at the beginning. Amazes me how many of these yards are still around. Seems everyday a new one comes on UA-cam.
Great junk yard I didn't think you could find a place like that no more they were a lot of good old car's and truck's there and in really good condition for their age great video guys I really enjoyed it
lots of oldies one of the cars you were looking at the small car looks like a renault i could be wrong i'd would have to be right there to see itclose thank you for sharing great video
Excellent video Christina :) , Richard :) also very nice collection cars , trucks , cargo plus vans have there and rare too even 2 also 4 doors ! Happy Birthday Christina :) I hope have super day with work also work also families & friends to share surprises with you also wishes come true and many more years ahead to also wonderfull year ahead to also! Best Wishes from me (CHEERBEAR) from Port Hope Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 , friendship last life time and forever too! Also that Red Ford Galaxy 1968 Richard & Christina I remember first time seen my one neighborhood neighbors farmer Don friends with my late Dad and late Uncle Bill his was 2 door to and Black Vinly plus Red body also Interior was Red too! Motor was rare had 352 USA truck motor, Automatic transmission , after that not sure much about but was rusted up bad condition couldn't be save in 2002 ! But remember glass pack daul exhaust had on and fast pick on speed! I work with him on his farm back in my childhood years and drove home said hold for life with seat belt on ! Yes funny for sure!
Back in the mid 80s I and friends went a local yard and i was looking for parts for my 1966 fairlane and found my fathers 1970 ford XL in there he sold a few years earlier,hey I would have bought it but never got the opportunity!
I am so jealous of the junkyards you tour. I'm on the east coast of Canada and the salt air rusts everything old. Always enjoy your videos and I've got some to catch up on. Thanks
The 67 Galaxie you mentioned having an fe ,was actually a 289 Windsor . The Windsor family is identified by mainly the large water pump with all the short and long bolts . 260,289,302 and 351 Windsor s. The 429 / 460 is similar in appearance. The fe series has only 4 water pump bolts . The older y blocks have distributor at rear of engine. 302 replaced 289 in 68 and 351w began in 69 . 385 series 429 and 460 began in late 60's and early seventies and later replaced the fe . 335 series 351 cleaveland and 400 was also available in the seventies ,it to was later phased out in favor of the Windsor engine series. The Windsor series and 460 was used in f series trucks through 1996. A heavy-duty y block, fe and 385 series 370 and 429 was also used in medium duty trucks and school busses until late 90's. The 370 and 429 heavy duty from 78 thru the nineties. The heavy duty fe from middle sixties through 1977 and the y block before .
Man oh man!As someone watching from the other end of the planet and wanting to get hold of an old American truck this makes me so sad to see.There are so many junk yards all over America where this treasure is wasting!So sad to see.Please pick up a couple of vehicles to save.
Hi Richard, I think the fist little orange car is a nsu prinz from may be 1958 to 1962 ,it is a german car and it is the ancestor of the audi brand..happy birthday to your wife Christina, keep the good work from Richard,subscriber in canada.
The guys at Budget Builds recently dragged a early 60's Ford F 100 unibody out of the woods in North Carolina and got it running. And the Ford Econoline with the custom paint job near the end of your video was a factory Cruising Van that Ford produced in the mid 70's. They actually did the same thing to the Pinto wagon. I remember seeing the ads in car magazines back then.
That info abut the van is very useful. I have been trying to figure out whether that paint was factory, and it seems that it is. The owner's son kept telling me that van was in a movie, but I did not find any record of it. Nonetheless, those cruising vans appear to be quite rare. Thanks for the tips!
The Ford Victoria was not a '56, it is a '55. The 1955 Ford Victoria had the round turn signal lights, the 1956 had the turn signal light trim more elongated and wrapped around the side of the fender. Body style between the two were pretty much identical.
That 68 @ 51:20 I knew it was not a 70 because I owned a 1970 Galaxy 500. Even though the 70 body lines taper to a fastback, the rear glass is more vertical, almost like the modern Avalanche rear glass does. The 6 most fun cars I ever owned were 1970 Galaxy 500, 1969 Fairlane, 1968 Torino & a 1963 Falcon Futura convertible. 3 of these were fastbacks but the Galaxy back glass was like that of a non fastback with a shorter package tray. 1969 Fairlane had a 289, 1970 Galaxy had a 302, 1968Torino had a 390 & 1963 Falcon had a straight 6. The 2nd to last car was a 1969 Cobra limited edition (not the Mustang, the Fairlane experimental) with a 428 Cobra-Jet. My fastest car was a 1980 Mustang which I built to the max the 2.3L 4 cylinder to over 300HP. This had a modified progressive 2 barrel Holly, ported & polished Offenhauser intake, header, balanced & blueprinted, bored .030" over, aluminum pistons & cast rings, Ported oil galley ways, high volume oil pump, performance cam peak HP from 2600RPM to 5200RPM, 4 speed manual & positive traction 9" differential. My Mustang could not be driven in city streets, it was strictly a highway or drag car.
Great vid and amazing cars! The only thing I was missing was that I wanted to see the interior dash on these and you only showed the outside for the most part. Like those Ford Torino fastbacks...we were dying to see the inside. Thanks. ✌🏻
There used to be a huge junkyard like this here. Full of everything from the 30s to the 80s. But the owner passed away years ago and all the cars are gone. Sad.
@@christinarust6957 would love to find a junkyard like this one. We did get to tour a hotrod shop in our latest video. Chance was mad that he couldn't go
Thank you for talking us along. I wish you had shown more of the 60's Mustangs. I have a 61 ford uni-body that my Dad owned And a 66 Mustang . Has always liked and shared. All my very best.
Happy birthday,we love you and Richard too!!
Thank you!
happy birthday, christina

WHAT A GEM FIND
That 66-67 Ford Galaxie would be a neat old cruiser for just cruising around, and car shows
We wanted to thank you. We watched your video of the Dickson, Tennessee junk
Yard and saw 2 1951 Plymouths. We needed some chrome pieces So we went there, we live in Kentucky, and bought the chrome we needed. So thank you for showing us where to go . Love your show. Keep up the good information. 👍🏻🚗🚙🛻
Richard and I are delighted our video was able to help you! Thank you so much for sharing. We sincerely appreciate it 🙏
Christen your such a trooper❤
Happy birthday 🎉
Thank you!
That's awesome to see. Most of these places are long gone by now. That kid is great.
Wow, a Plymouth Fury🔥
We all know what that means. Red body, white roof...
I was waiting to see if anybody would pick up on that car....Christine....not Christina.
"Where's the dipstick?" Most of them are in Washington, DC. Richard, at 48:16, that is a '55. On the '56 the grill ran over the top of the parking lights. I had a '56 'way back when.

The answer can't be no This is what you guys do lol there's so many savable cars there omg it just makes you want to save them all
and that '64 Galaxie 500! Love those cars, had a '64 XL. This video is fun to watch.
Thanks for watching Gary.
Wish those old cars could talk ! I'd listen all day !
Me too!
Great 👍 content guys, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Thanks for taking us along.
the Econoline with the purple/orange/silver was a factory option. Called the Free Wheeling package as I recall.
Always loved the look of the galaxies!
Ever since I was a kid I loved walking auto graveyards and like you imagined what the cars looked like when they were still on the road.
I would think about the original owner who first drove it off the dealer lot brand new and how proud they were to own it!
So true! I often think of that myself.
All those early 60s Falcons could be a gold mine for lovers of that body style.
True!
Sweet lady at the end of the video. And it looked like a nice Studebaker at the beginning. Amazes me how many of these yards are still around. Seems everyday a new one comes on UA-cam.
Richard and I love watching junk yard videos together. Pizza and a junk yard video...our perfect date night!
Glad to hear! My lady won't watch 'em at all!@@christinarust6957

We have a friend that found his grandmother's car in a junk yard. Thanks for sharing.
Some one would definitely take oval bug shell.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !.
Thank you!
Great video I wasn't aware of the yard when I lived in Nashville in the 80s
Looks like that torino had a lace paint job! We used to do them with cheap plastic lace tablecloths from K Mart!
I remember those! So funny!
Thinks for video, enjoyed the tour🙂
I kept waiting to see Tucker #1042 sitting in there somewhere...rumor was it was last seen in Tennessee...😁
I absolutely love the 64 galaxy 500
You can tell A rich boy from Tennessee , he has more than three junk cars in the yard
Man I wish I had a front bumper off one of those 53 Chevy’s. Been looking for one for a while now.
Give them a call. Thanks for watching!
Hy Richard,the small red car is a german car its NSU Prinz built 1957
As usual another great video
When I was a kid, one of my brothers had a DeSoto. That thing was solid, it was built like a tank !
Do an will it run on the HEMI.❤
I am thinking of it!
I am so jealous of the junkyards you tour. I'm on the east coast of Canada and the salt air rusts everything old. Always enjoy your videos and I've got some to catch up on. Thanks
Thanks for watching much appreciated!
Man. nice I live in Arizona, no rust here, but everything is sand blasted from sand storm's 😂 !
Rust waits for no one.
That 68 Galaxie XL would be a good project between you and Sleeperdude. You do the mechanicals and Josh, does the bodywork?
After market a/c not factory great video lots of goodies thanks for sharing this😊
You're welcome!
Do pick up that 68 red Ford!
Very nice find great stuff good job guys!
Thanks!
❤ 68 Galaxie XL Fastback. Too bad its not a 390

That is useful info, thank you. I can identify a GM engine all day, but not so with the Fords. This helps a lot.
Man oh man!As someone watching from the other end of the planet and wanting to get hold of an old American truck this makes me so sad to see.There are so many junk yards all over America where this treasure is wasting!So sad to see.Please pick up a couple of vehicles to save.

thanks for pointing that out, I noticed the same thing.
@@scampsboytes9088 I also made a mistake. It wasn't a Fairlane Victoria, it was a Fairlane, it had four doors, Victoria had two.
That 68 @ 51:20 I knew it was not a 70 because I owned a 1970 Galaxy 500. Even though the 70 body lines taper to a fastback, the rear glass is more vertical, almost like the modern Avalanche rear glass does.

There used to be a huge junkyard like this here. Full of everything from the 30s to the 80s. But the owner passed away years ago and all the cars are gone. Sad.
That is sad. To me it's like walking through a museum! I love them!Hope you guys are doing well!
@@christinarust6957 would love to find a junkyard like this one. We did get to tour a hotrod shop in our latest video. Chance was mad that he couldn't go
Need more women like Christina who like Junkyards so Cool 👍
Thanks Robert ❤️
Thank you for talking us along. I wish you had shown more of the 60's Mustangs. I have a 61 ford uni-body that my Dad owned And a 66 Mustang . Has always liked and shared. All my very best.
They weren't for sale so we were asked not to show them:-)
@@christinarust6957 Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me. It means a lot to me. All my very best.
That Unibody Ford had a inline six.
Hood emblem with the lightening bolt is for six. V with 8 in middle of letter V for v,-8 engines
Where is that guy's place at? I saw a couple of cars I would like to get from him!
