I am continually impressed by how you can identify even the most obscure parts and equipment on sight It often seems as though you spend every waking hour away from auctions studying everything written about every motorized unit ever made.
Back in the early 90's, I had 2 Valiants, a 73 with 318 and a 72 with 225. The 73 actually had the 318 Industrial, with driveline parts out of a Dodge Power Wagon. I turned it into a sleeper, ran police steelies and dog dish caps, and a few engine upgrades, made for drag and drive. The 72 I built for my girlfriend, as a daily driver/grocery getter. Both cars were Canadian, from the Quebec plant. Remember those Auto Trader magazines from back in the day? That's how I got those 2 Valiants. The 73 was $700, the 72 was $300. They both ran and drove home.
Dad bought a new 75 Valiant gold. He took that car from wisconsin to new york twice, once with the family. He had an aftermarket cruise control installed something that is just not done anymore.
I have see the internet destroy a number of things that are close to my hart, like Ham radio swap meets, antique toy shows, antique car shows, Drive in move theaters, Garage sales, etc. And Ham Radio as a whole, if you hold an I Phone in one hand and a Ham HT in the other which one will a kid chose? You did say that your are having to travel further from home to get in on this wonderful experience, and so are many others. Hoping that we can pass all of this to our children! Great video!! Thanks!
It's always a pleasure following you around these auctions, your knowledge is immense, and your commentary is often verging on the poetic. I'll be back for more.
I like going on these adventures with you I think your name is Tim.. anyway I like going to these graveyards .. A trip back in time.. each of these relics has a story had a life.. Thanks for bringing me along. I look forward to your videos
The Belvedere was a mid line model between the Savoy and the Fury. The 64 Plymouth shown is the base model Savoy which was the only model not displaying its model name.
Thanks for sharing this amazing collection that this farmer had. It was great to see what all he had collected over the years and what they had to sell at the auction. It looks like a lot of people probably attended the auction and prices probably went higher for that reason. Some of the vehicles are very desirable and it makes them worth more to some people. Keep up the great work on your videos. Have a blessed weekend.
When I started driving I had a 72 valiant it was my father's if I remember it was gold with a vinyl top and black. After a weekend he noticed that the rear tires were bald. He decided then that I better get my own car so I found me a nice gremlin LOL
Morning Tim, that late 30' Chevrolet pole truck is very cool, the cab forward International, there is one that runs down Woodward during the dream cruise, it is as you describe as a future build, a restored garbage truck...anyway those 6 lug wheels on the big trucks are known as "Budd" wheels, the spoke type wheels are known as "Dayton" wheels...thanks for sharing the video!! Be safe!!! God Bless!!!
That blue 6 wheeled toy next to the "olds" with the rimpled fender was called an amphykat I had one back in the 60s I had a black 72 merc marquee...nick named the " tuna clipper" I decided after my 3rd speeding ticket ( it road so nice I'd look down and be doing 80+ on the interstate) it was time to get rid of it.
You could cross the Atlantic in that alloy speedboat with little stress other than fuel capacity & would't sniff at it . . there was a cool old model Makita table saw on the ground behind that blue Plymouth sedan probably cactus though
To frame on that diesel truck could be fixed I used to work at a trailer factory for semi trucks and we cut them and made them 3 ft longer, in one part of the factory but the other part made new trailers. that would not be a impossible job to get straight and gusseted
Years back bought an 67 Ford 500 truck from the dump yard of a quarry where we did blasting for , that had been hit in the rear corner & bent one chassis rail down . . welded up a jig from scrap steel from metal scrap yard & hired two hydraulic jacks for a day that came up to thirty tons & straightened it perfect
Valiants, Dusters & Darts were made into 1976. I have a '76 Valiant. It's not green, but beige...with a V8, HD cooling, solid & really nice- has 88k miles, was parked by the original owner when the heater core & radiator started leaking. Out of pocket? It cost me about $150; for tax, tab, title... I have a lot of people stop to look at it & talk about their HS, growing up, college. The GT350 next to it? Not nearly as much attention. How much did your buddy buy it for? Mine has a Formula S/340 suspension, 12" rotors w/ pin-style calipers, and more going on...just building it for fun and when I can. I've got a lot of things to throw at it I've scrounge & saved up over the years
time stamping 1103 that Plymouth meeting some manual transmission is a push button automatic yes those buttons between the big gauge of the radio are the shifter buttons
Hey Tim I'm from Ohio I love your walk through videos of those old western farm auctions . I am a scrap guy people here pay way to much for scrap at auctions I depend on business and homeowners to get my stuff for FREE. I have yet to see a lift gate witch I'm looking for CHEAP. I have a 97 Ford 250 are they interchangeable?? keep up the good work and I'll keep watching your videos
That little Superior school bus is kinda cool. I think that I would cut the front off of that old Chevy truck next to it and fab it right on the front of the bus. Heck yeah! That would look pretty cool like that! Am I right or am I RIGHT? Ha Ha! Sweet! 😃All righty then!
You are a nice kid but darn you have much to learn to go with the excellent identification knowledge you have acquired in regards to vehicle identification..Much to learn..Still thank you for sharing your finds it is entertaining and fun to watch!!!
I had a DuraCraft aluminum boat like that with a 35 horse motor it was fast 33 mph power to weight ratio that thing at least has a 50 or 75 I can't tell but it does have a V4 or 2-stroke I bet that boat will scream
Almost bought a 73 Midget back in the 80s. A runner with an 'almost new' clutch. The problem was at 6'1" 200 lbs I couldn't comfortably sit in it , let alone drive it...
You would not believe how long the rocker arms are and how the head is laid out on a Minneapolis Moline the rocker arm runs from the camshaft all the way to the valve and they go in horizontally you would have to see it the Flathead is sort of on the right now on top longest rocker arms in history
People that say there is no 1976 Dart or Valiant are wrong. The Dart and Valiant had full complete production years for 1976. They were available in the dealer alongside the larger Aspen and Volare......so don't let folks throw you off....Folks also say there wasn't a 1978 Dodge Charger, but there was.......I worked for a Factory owned Dodge Dealer in 1977 thru 1980 and we had left over Darts from 1976 in 1977 still.
Thats right. In 1978 the Dodge Magnum was introduced and sold along side the Charger in its first year. Come 1980 the Mirada replaced the Magnum and was in production til 1983.
MG at a low price would be worth picking up. The 64 Plymouth has potential. Guys are adapting them into 2drs. Lincoln might be of interest to someone, or yank engine/trans to sell. I also liked the IH cab over. It would make a neat hauler.
Some of these are tough to pin down a year on, especially without the original engine (since they were registered and divided into model years by the engine serial number). I have a REO Speedwagon truck I am trying to identify
A friend of mine near here jumped on it. Another one just like it popped up on a tow lot auction a month ago also. Curious how obscure things pop up together like that.
That's a real shame about the Lincoln Continental Coupe. Awesome car to drive. I had a 75' model that was piss yellow, lol. Ugly as sin, but eventually got gray primer on it. The faster I went the better it floated lol. Great car, as big as it was. And if one of those little imports pulled out. You'd have to give some space because she didn't stop on a dime either lol
8:33 You must be referring to Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. It's half-jokingly said that one spare you have to keep is aftermarket smoke in case your electrics run out of their own. lol
My favorite thing to look at with these farm/ranch auctions is when they had a workshop and there's a massive six foot tall tool chest full of rusted old tools, it's a dream of mine to find an ancient roller cabinet loaded down with goodies that I can spend a few weeks cleaning up and use for the rest of my life...all small stuff acquired so far, $30 for a pile here, $40 for a pile there, but the big score will find me when the time is right and maybe I'll have room to bring it home! Way better to spend a few hundred on a junk box that can be restored than spend the kind of money they want for a new one. Ugh!
We think alike Alan... not much goes to waste around here, and there is a discount against the cost of new hiding around every corner at many of these places we find!
Yeah. Checked house brand at H.D. In the size I want,(HUSKY I think)…….well, $600. No, not the deal I had hoped for. I know steel is expensive right now, but I would rather go without.
If the Sun will burn the paint off an old pickup that sarted out red, what will it do to the skin if a guy with a ginger complection? Use your sunscreen, Goodpliers!
Pity the seller or auctioneer didn’t care enough to clear all the crap out of the cars and give bidders an idea of what the true condition was like. If they don’t bother not damaging vehicles then why would anyone bother paying decent amounts of money.
Whizzed thru this highly disturbing content of nt junk including a friggin benz wagon nuts how these things were once brand new then left to the dogs and your soup kitchen like dumpster diving kind.

I am also impressed by his knowledge!
😂. “Dashboard looks like the forbidden lunar surface” … love your choice of words for descriptions on some of these old vehicles.

Love the Belvedere, the old man had one in the 60’s 😎👍😎
The Belvedere was a mid line model between the Savoy and the Fury. The 64 Plymouth shown is the base model Savoy which was the only model not displaying its model name.
Loved the tour! I can spend weeks looking at old cars and trucks!
I would take that 64 Plymouth in a heartbeat.
That was the one car which really excited me, but the family was keeping it.
Kool ol stuff great shows keep up the good work

That Plymouths calling to you Mr. Pliers.
I would have bid to own it but the family was keeping it. That one was for sure my favorite car on the place.
What did the 58 Chevy truck go for? That was restorable...
Would love to have that ol Cab over , nice looking ol truck , thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Good stuff today, you absolutely know your shit! Mad respect from your fan in southern Colorado
Thanks again for stopping by the channel Manny!
The boat is very cool, make somebody a nice collector.
The GMC truck is cool.
The two frames look 57 Chevy, front engine mount.
You could cross the Atlantic in that alloy speedboat with little stress other than fuel capacity & would't sniff at it . . there was a cool old model Makita table saw on the ground behind that blue Plymouth sedan probably cactus though
You didnt miss any deals that day!

Anything is possible, especially if it is a customer project and they are willing to pay. If a human can build it, a human can repair it.

That 1964 Ply mouth Savoy looked identical to one that you Mr. Goodpliers purchased at a recent auction. I'm sure it was the same color too.
Yes! But what a stark difference in condition between the two...
How and where are these places ,wow nice , where is this guy passed on now , thanks BigAl California

Almost bought a 73 Midget back in the 80s.
A runner with an 'almost new' clutch.
The problem was at 6'1" 200 lbs I couldn't comfortably sit in it , let alone drive it...
I'd like to have a good grain truck those are always in real good shape because they're using once a year basically most of them anyway some even less

At 27:30 , the old GMC looks like a mid '20's era, not late '20's. Cool video as always.
Some of these are tough to pin down a year on, especially without the original engine (since they were registered and divided into model years by the engine serial number).
I have a REO Speedwagon truck I am trying to identify
I was watching adventures made from scratch and he mentioned you come out to his place for parts that's pretty cool some neat cars on the farm.
Can get parts for that car no problem The MG Midget as I live in England anyway
Just think mr goodpliers someday your hoard will be auctioned off just like the ones u go to 😆
Possibly... I envision passing the business on to a like-minded enthusiast, will see how that shakes out...
Where is it located ?
As rough as the 89 Chevy pickup is, someone will want it since it's a dually and they're sought after. I'd jump on that one.
A friend of mine near here jumped on it.
Another one just like it popped up on a tow lot auction a month ago also. Curious how obscure things pop up together like that.

Hi!
Only things of interest to me were the 37 Chev. tow truck and the early J.D. tractor. The rest was scrap.
Pity the seller or auctioneer didn’t care enough to clear all the crap out of the cars and give bidders an idea of what the true condition was like. If they don’t bother not damaging vehicles then why would anyone bother paying decent amounts of money.
You walked by and ignored the only motorcycle.
