Tractor Trailer Salvage Yard Found Hiding A MEGA MUSCLE CAR STASH!!!

  • Опубліковано 14 жов 2019
  • Upon following an excellent lead on many muscle cars hiding on a piece of property out in rural Kentucky, I found some really rare muscle hiding inside tractor trailers. Big block SS Chevelles, Z28 Camaros, Pontiac Firebird Convertible, and others!!!
    **Note** I failed to further clarify the Code 76 Daytona Yellow Paint was also available on 1969 Chevelle COPO (Central Office Production Order) cars and also non SS optioned cars through the Special Paint program. It was only available to SS optioned 1969 Chevelles as a standard color.

    I enjoy how you take a walk around and find interesting cars, not just in this video. If it wasn't for the things hiding in the grass I could spend days walking about in junkyards. Nice video, thank you and the property owner.

    Putting cars in trailers is a good idea. Unfortunately when the trailer has a massive hole in the roof, its not going to protect that car inside.

    It just amazes me how many of these old cars just sit & rot away. Are the owners waiting for their next lifetime to restore these or hoping for the restoration fairy to swing by and fix them? Such a waste!

      It's all "I know what I got!" pinheads. A bunch of cars with no engine/trans, missing the entire front ends, glass, and totally rotted interiors. Besides a frame, and part of the body, you're not getting much of a head start there.

    Thank you for the video. The silver '68 Z-28 looks like the car my buddy had back in the early 1970's. The "CHEVY" decal and the "BERGER" decal are identical as well as the color. We are from Hudsonville Michigan near Grand Rapids. He was not the original owner and the car was 5+ years old when he had it but it looked brand new. His Z was silver and we did frequent Berger Chevrolet's high-performance department which was quite famous back then. Berger also sponsored and fielded several race cars at the local drag strips. US131 Martin Dragway in particular, now called US131 Motorsports Park. My buddy, Jack, sold the car and got married around 1976. Sadly, Jack passed away from cancer in 1979. RIP my friend.

      Didn't elaborate much on the 68 bird.. I noticed correct hockey stick 400 grilles along with correct 400 hood and the optional rpo code 471 hood tach. However it did seem from what I could tell was the dummy covers inside the 400 hood openings so my best guess would be that she's a standard 400 4 speed car and not a ram air II car but still cool none the less.
      Another interesting fact on these cars is all AC cars got the x-filler panels under the hood, behind the nose and before the rad to keep the cool air pushing thru toward the radiator but otherwise non AC cars did not get them unless it was a true 400 car cause all 400s received the x filler panels

    Patrick Glenn Nichols, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. It was so neat taking that walk with you, not knowing what you were going to find.
    I really got excited when you found that Yellow '69 Chevelle SS. Oh yeah. I bought a brand new '69 396 SS Chevelle in Hugger Orange with Black interior. It had a 4 speed tranny. That baby could scream and move. Sure wish I still had it.
    There was a Yellow 396 SS sitting next to the one I bought but, I favored the Hugger Orange over the Yellow.
    Thanks for sharing this walk down Memory Lane.

    I went to College in the early 80's near Berger Chevrolet on 28th st in Grand Rapids Michigan.
    I was lucky enough to checkout some of the collection they had. They also told me I was saying their name wrong. It's not Berg-er...it sounds like Ber-jer Chevrolet.
    I ended up purchasing an 82 K5 blazer from them for my Pop.
    My buddy was a used car salesman, and he gave me a bunch of dealer stickers for the back ends of the cars. Still have them today too.
    Just like the one on the back of that 68 silver Z-28.

    Patrick Glenn Nichols Musclecar Barn Finds...I just came across this video and I'm a first-timer to your site! WOW...the proverbial trip down memory lane and I'm floored by your muscle car knowledge!
    Now, nearly 60 years old, my hindsight is MUCH better than my eyesight...I still have a handful of vintage Detroit, but the one I miss the most, is a '70 Chevelle SS 454 (LS5 option), rag, turbo 400, candy-apple red with white SS cowl-induction. I purchased it from a friend in '79, who bought it new, then sold it to another buddy (that worked in the paint shop at the local GM plant) in '83 so I could purchase a wedding ring!
    Well, I have to say, they've both aged beautifully and I still have the wife (we married in '85)...but my buddy still has my first love and won't trade! LOL
    Thanks again, great fun and Merry Christmas!!

    Thanks for sharing your unique experience. As others have posted, the cost to restore those cars would be more than what they would be worth after the restoration. Their "asset value" would be in certain hard to find and high value original parts that some of them still have. If the cars were from the southwest and essentially rust free and straight, the restoration equation may make more sense. If they had intact original drive trains that would definitely make a difference.

Minus the emotional attachment, it would make more sense to cut the tags and anything that makes them special and put them on replacement bodies...shame, these were stored away a little too late.

    Was hoping you’d get into the Firebird. Really like those early birds. Thing I noticed about the way the owner stored them was the better condition cars were uncovered in the elements and the mostly rotted cars were hidden. Most likely embarrassed how he maintained them.

      Rusty Iron Projects R.I.P I like those F body cars. Firebirds of that era just looked badass; especially with the twin snorkel formula hood on ‘em. Hard to beat that all around general appearance. I at one time had a ‘69 Custom S. Sure wish I still did.

      Dale M; My first car was a brand new 65' Impala. Actually, I bought it when the 66' models came out but, I was the first owner. It was Tahitian Turquoise with a light Blue interior. The first thing I did was to put dual exhaust on it. Cherry bomb mufflers, chrome exhaust tips, chrome reverse trims and, a few other accessories like a 4 Track tape player.
      I loved that car and it bothered a lot when I traded it in on the 69' Chevelle SS. Oh, if foresight was a sharp as hindsight, wouldn't we all be geniuses?

    I doubt the guy who owns them has any intention of restoring them himself, the time and money involved would be astronomical and economically unviable.
    They're just cheaply stored until the prices increase, then they're sold as they are.
    Doesn't matter what they're worth fully restored,$50,000, they'd cost that much to put them back on the road..
    The money's is in selling on rusty shells that you probably paid next to nothing for, for $5,000....

      The cleanest cars and most complete corpses usually get snatched up by people that never intend to let them go because of some selfish mental or emotional reason.
      It's either the crusty old hermit that snatched up a lot of muscle cars, or the little old lady that held onto a classic landyacht, only driving it to church once a week for 50 years so the interior is spotless and it's got low miles.

They are still in business as another dealer, still Chevrolet/GMC. They have been in the same location since the mid 60's, when the shopping center "SOUTHTOWN" was built, THe shopping center is still thriving. The shopping center and Chevrolet dealer are in the SouthWest corner of the intersection of I35W and I494. I grew up within walking didtance of Dealership and shopping center..
