Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2016
- We visit a great junk yard in Western North Carolina (Forest City). Old classics, newer pony cars and everything in between. We also get a peek at some of Tim Hudson's project and completed cars. Join Tim, Tena and me for a look at some cool rides. 100 degrees that day. Thought I was going to cook! Lol.

The red 69 Javelin is my original Javelin I purchased in 1974. It was yellow and I painted it trans/am red on a Friday night. I was 17 years old. I would really like to get my hands on what's left of the car. The memories of this 69 Javelin are still fresh in my mind. Thanks for sharing this video. I have been looking the Javelin all these years.
Javelins are one of the most under rated but beautiful cars ever built. Really getting hard to find. A 390 or 401 engine is nearly impossible to find or too expensive to buy. Love them anyway. Hope you find your dream Javelin.
@@indyme2 The red Javelin you featured in this video was my Javelin. I am going to call and see if I can purchase a memento off the car. I searched for the car all these years only to find it in your video.
@@ncautoman57 Glad you found it, buddy. Don't we all want our old cars back?
Thanks for taking me along. What some great cars. That Studebaker truck will stick in my brain like a song
I love that truck too. I believe he traded it for something recently. I wouldn't have been able to let it go. Thanks for watching, John.
To bad about that aweful drivetrain 50 Ford much better including the louveres
Mr Hudson is a true gentleman, what a great guy!
We agree. We enjoy hanging out with Tim and looking at the progress on his projects. He always welcomes us and makes us fee at home. Thank you for the comment.
Good to see a polite and softly spoken gentleman is the boss, thanks for sharing this video
Thanks for your comment, Benjamin.
Great place to look for parts, nice to know such places like this are still around. Those seats on that Studebaker truck are killer.
Thanks, Glenn. We love hanging out with Tim and often come home with parts. Love the Stude. I believe he sold or traded it not long ago. Glad I got it on video. Thanks for stopping in.
Thanks for your videos what a nice guy
Thank you, Marshall. We love Tim Hudson and plan on doing another video of some of his projects soon.
Makes me a bit jealous to see such cars, and the classics, makes me smile that so many are in good condition after restorations. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for stopping in, Roy. Sorry to hear about the Pontiac. Hope you get her fixed soon.
@@indyme2 I will, just keep on doing what you're doing too!
What a sweet and kind man, Tim is....God bless him and long may he keep tinkering on his MANY beautiful projects! Cheers from British Columbia, Canada : ) ...great video!
Thank you, Mr. Krzemien. It's people like you and Tim that make this world a better place.
Can't thank you enough for this video. I'm of an age where I remember yards like Mr Hudson's, sadly in the northeast they don't exist much anymore. His eclectic interests and collection are truly amazing!
Junk yards are so interesting and fun to wander through. It's easy to burn a day in a yard just looking and dreaming. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment, Mike.
I would go absolutely nuts in that yard! Nothing brings back fond memories more,than browsing a classic salvage yard such as this! Thanks for the memories!
Thanks, Jerry. We go there and hang out often. Always see something different and too many cars and parts that I want, lol. Appreciate the comment,Sir.
Always fun going in to a junk yard even if it's just to walk around and look and to see some old fixed up iron is icing on the cake.
Nice. Happy Motoring.
Junk yards are great. Went today and put a deposit on a new toy, like I need one, lol. Are working on a Mopar?
I would like to be. I have a big family that keeps me busy and my wife had her kidney out in October and is on the mend and that is my top priority now. I do have an 87 Jeep Cherokee that I would like to work on, an 87 Dodge Turbo'd Shadow, and an 86 Chevy Monte Carlo. Like you have said about time, as we get older unless we have real deep pockets we have to be selective on what we work on. My garage is gravel covered and open air. My mother in law has a garage that she has let me use but it needs to be cleaned out as it has become a convenient storage unit. So I have my work cut out for me. I get some work done when the weather is nicer. I also work part time for an industrial insulator. We work at places like Ashland, Celgene or Brystol Myers Squibb. Good talking to ya.
Neat guy and very nice work on those classics.
Thanks, Patrick. We appreciate the great comment.
Very Cool Video and Collection
Thanks for stopping in and leaving us a comment, Craig.
WoW! Really nice cars he has there. You can see he enjoys what he is doing. Thanks for sharing my friend.
Your channel is really fun to watch and listen! Thanks and good luck to you all!
Thanks for watching, Stan. Enjoying your videos.
I live in Spruce Pine, NC and didn’t know this place existed. I hope to go and he’ll let me take some pictures! Might be there all day!
I feel sure he will let you look and photo all you want. Check out the other video featuring Vick's Junk Yard too. You can spend a day there too. He is in Chesney, SC. Both are worth the trip. Call for open hours. Thanks for watching.
I would have a lot of fun working beside him in that yard! all the projects that could be built & $$$$ that could be made from them...Build them & they will come & spend their $$$$.. rebuild the motors & make sure they pack a punch & build a nice reputation!!!
Mr. Hudson has a nice body shop too. We hung out with him for a while last weekend while he was working on a new truck project. Really nice guy, Mr. Tim.
wowsers !!!that is so incredible...also brings back memories of the days when i was a kid !!!
Cool man, cars and junk yard. We poured sweat all day in the 100 degree heat but still had a great time. Thanks for the comment.
At least someone is living my dream!!!!! awesome!!!! nice set up, Garage, yard with nice auto's & restorations & most importantly, The posabilities!!!!
We are blessed. Will retire someday and really get cranking on fixing all these up.
that matador looks like something out of an Austin Powers movie!
A really nice guy, I can’t wait to go there..looks like a junkyard wonderland
Go check it out. Tim is a great guy. Just hold on tightly if you ride through the yard in in tool buggy. He only hits the high spots on the dirt paths he calls roads, lol.
I would love to hear that Studebaker truck run but some of those nice vehicles that he have
Tim has some nice cars. I have only shown a few in the 4 videos I have of him. Sorry. The truck is gone. :(
Sweet ole yard... Thanks Mr Hudson!!
I'm sorry I missed your post. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, Sir.
Very cool Video...Man would give my left you know what to have that place....
You and me both, Caleb. There is much more than the video shows, both parts/project cars and restored cars. Thanks for watching.
You have a talent for finding all these neat hot rodder playgrounds to play in. I liked the shot of the Pinto wagon when you first pulled in. I almost bought a cruzin wagon back in the day but the deal fell through when I couldn't get on with a V-6 stick. I think you need to get Tina the studebacker for all her hard work. Keep the videos coming.
The Pinto wagon is cool. I found another Pinto ready to drive, parked in a man's carport. Looks good and complete. I knew you would have a story to share, lol. Keep them coming. Getting Tena the 52 Olds shown in the video...for all her hard work. She is excited. Thanks for watching, Jerry.
Pinto looks like a shaggin wagon Baby!
Mr. Hudson,you are a very lucky man. Too many projects is a good place to be...
I'm with you. Going to do a video on one or two of his projects soon. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment.
I know you felt like a kid in the candy store. Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching, Allen.
Two red C4 Corvettes!😊
Yep. I was asleep on these and the other Vette's he had. He sold them all cheap. I just have too many projects but now regret not getting one of them. Thanks for watching, Billy.
@@indyme2 Yep, great stuff!😀 I wish I was wealthy enough to afford some classics restored and or modified!😀 Thanks!☺
Awesome video! I really enjoyed it. Super cool!. I had a few of those cars. The engine building was great. Thanks for sharing this Indy!
Thanks for watching, Roger. Glad to see you back on YT. Any fishing videos on the way? Getting cool. Time to drag out that smoker. Lol.
Interesting video. Nice to see someone with not only the skill but the resources to build cars like that and Mr.Hudson has done an excellent job.
Cheers!
Thank you! Tim Hudson is a car guy to the core and an all round great person. We appreciate you stopping in.
Loved it when my dad would take me to the junk yards
We visited a junk yard today, Aaron. Had a great time and are going back for video. Go have some fun again. Visit a great yard! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
Awesome tour Jerry . I sat , watched & ate my dinner . Enjoyed it all .
Thanks, Dave. It's a good feeling to meet great people like Tim.
Wow what a cool place thanks for sharing it :)
We are glad you went along with us. Lots of neat cars Mr. Hudson has.
WoW! Nice Studebaker. Thanks for the tour. You need one of those buses for a prospecting bus.
A prospecting bus would be cool. I have to clean up the cons from my last trip, lol. Maybe I can finish that video this week. Thanks for watching.
thanks for sharing wow what a story the mans is awesome
He is a really cool guy, Drew. Very interesting and generous to share his life and cars with us. Thanks for watching.
That Lancer Four Door at :20 seconds in is STUNNING!!! I would LOVE to have something like that!!! I personally DO NOT MIND some four door cars and the Lancer was one of those cars that "looks better" with the "more doors"!!!
Damn North Carolina Vegetation trying to hide all the old cars!! The Kudzu is a nightmare to deal with too........I remember it well, when I lived in Winston Salem North Carolina for four years!!!!!
@@gregbenwell6173 He has cut out all the kudzu and moved the cars for better access. He has an old Comet 4 door we would love to buy if he can find the title. Love the slant eyed tail lights and 4 doors looks cool on this car. Maybe we will get lucky and add it to our collection someday. Appreciate you being here, Greg.
Great video, Thanks for Sharing
Thank you for watching. We do this because of great viewers like you.
Amazing cars! Great interview. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching, Sam. You shooting any video? How is the 2nd Gen coming along? Bring us up to date on your progress.
Haven't done anything to the Camaro since the last update. I have been working on my S10 front suspension. I'm taking video of that. Should be finished soon. Now just waiting on some sway bar bushings and I will be back on the Camaro soon!
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to all the videos.
Wow, you sure know cars, even their years. Every single one of those cars has a hidden story...someone bought each one brand new...teens learned how to drive in them, heck, babies even got born in the back seat.
Lol. The stories they could tell would be awesome. I could watch that movie all day. People often share their stories of a car I spot light. Always enjoy hearing them. Thank you for watching, Thomas.
LOL...yes, and probably conceived there as well! ;D
Que lindo los carros!!
Y uno por aca a pie!!
Thank you for watching.
Can you imagine selling every thing like the Lambrecht Auction ? . maybe 3 to 4 Million Dollars ? love the Study Truck . I never knew they made a Truck . Thanks for posting . Ray in Pa.
Yep, that truck was awesome. I could burn some rubber in that monster. Lol. Thanks for watching.
Where have you been Rayin, got to love the US education system ( not worth crap)
very cool!!
Thanks for watching, Steve. We appreciate you leaving a comment too.
Love to walk through the junk yard so peaceful looking forward to retirement and doing what I want to do I want my time back let people work there whole life away I want
Sounds like a great plan, Jimmy. We love spending a day in junkyards too.
this man is living my dream
We would all love to be Tim, lol. Thanks for watching.
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for sharing brother Cheers 🍺🍺
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, Sir.
Some cool rides on a hot day! Very sweet!
Freaking miserably hot day. Maybe the hottest of this summer. Mr. Hudson has some nice wheels. Many more that I didn't even show including an old truck with a 455 Buick engine and 9 inch Ford rear. Thanks for watching, Erik.
Omg the Champ! and the deuce coup man ol man
Too many cars and not enough money. Lol. Thanks for watching, Tim.

Thank you Sir, for watching!
Cool video,
Thank you, Sir.
You talk about treasure.. Man oh man.. You hit the Gold Mine on this video... for sure!!! ;-)
It's a great yard, great cars and great day with Mr. Hudson. Thanks for watching, Bill.
Love these junk yard tours. Mr. Hudson had some sweet toys. That Study truck was stunning.
Indeed, Mr. Hudson is blessed with great toys. That Studebaker truck is my favorite in that shop, one of many shops he has. We stopped in to see him one Saturday when he was closed. Found him inside working on a new truck project. Had a big smile on his face. Made our day. Thanks for watching. We appreciate the comment too.
When you gonna show us some work on that 67 deuce. You know I'm partial to Chevy 11.
I love the 67 too. Hope to start working on cars as soon as the rust queen gets mended. The day job and her car keep me busy. Have big plans for that car and boxes of new parts everywhere. Thanks for watching, Joe.
You're a man after my own heart I love the Novas. I'm trying to find the vin# of my 66. I'd like to know what happened to it or who has it.
Excellent Video brotha, great interview Mr Hudsom seemed like a great feller an had some sweet rides wow Thanks
Thanks for watching. He showed us lots more cars and trucks but it was so hot we couldn't film for pouring sweat. Maybe we can get the others in a follow up video. He has a little truck with a 455 Buick engine that is awesome.
Denfently a 60 dodge, no dart the darts, pioneer, secenca, all had short fins the Matador and the Polara that the taller fins the red inserts were usually Polara.. though I've heard that they were an option on the Matador.. I miss mine.
I saw a red 60 Dart (I believe) convertible at a car show last year. It was awesome!
I liked the Red Pinto Wagon at the start..
There are some cool old cars here, Keith. Most are just good for parts unless you really want to show one some love and $$, lol. We picked up some project cars from Tim so there a few left. I don't remember the Pinto wagon. Getting brain dead in my old age. Better go back and take a look. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment, Keith.
Man, All that potential!!!!! I see many of cars id love to have!!!! also,many of motors I would love to rebuild & play with!!!!
Lol. I share the same feelings. We all just need lots of money, time and a 40 car garage. We appreciate you watching.
My good friend has 2 Smokey Bandit Trans ams for sale one for parts other untouched yet just shut off in back yard
401 I believe in it .
Wow. I was just looking at Smokey Bandit Trans Am's this past weekend on YT. Wish I could afford to buy his. Thanks for watching, Garnett.
You could get his about $5000 untouched has shaker hood original mags I believe ,We used to have a row of cheap ass gas stations bad gas 2&2 dirty filters tank no enthusiasm = .
awkward laugh is awesome!
Thanks, Bob. We appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
Heck with the red Plymouth, the red pintowagon add v8 and I'm thrilled
Chuck, I believe the Pinto wagon is gone. Someone probably had the same idea as you have. Who knows? It could be a hot street rod or someone is building an old school drag car. Either way, that Pinto has a lot of potential.Thanks for watching.
@@indyme2 yes that Pinto is awesome
Some cool HOT ROD's. Given me WOOD!!!!!!! O shit now my toung is hard!!!!!!
Lol. Thanks for watching, Scotty.
I'm really imagining the day that owners got the delivery of their cars during 60's/70's/80's, and how they enjoyed and celebrated their first ride with their spouses and family. members. But today it's very painful to see those cars in junkyard.
Yep, if only car could talk. Hope some of these get saved. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
My favourite vehicle for olden days is Chevy school bus which (the toy bus) I had during my younger days in 90's. I also like Chevy Fleetmaster car.
Impala too..
You had the year right on the 1960 Dodge sedan, but it's not a Dart, the Dart's fins reach the tail light housings, this is a Polara or Matador, maybe ex-patrol car.
Thanks for the info, Larry. Wish someone would save it. Thanks for watching.
That Dodge Lancer would make a fantastic project for someone who likes Dodge. Don
I like that car, Don. Meant to take a better look at it last time I was there. Those were dependable and ez on gas too.
Nice cars to buy and restore
Hopefully some will be rescued and saved, Jo. Thanks for stopping in.
Cool videos thanks. It would be interesting to buy/lease the property and continue the legacy.
I'm with you. I hope Tim works until he croaks, lol. He loves his job and his business. Thank you for watching.
Tim's a very cool fellow..
We like Tim. Everyone seems to. He is a very nice and personable guy. Thanks for watching.
My cat was rescued from this junkyard. White little guy with black spots. Know anything about this? He’s a very sweet boy. Someone must have been kind to him. May have been rescued early this year.
Great! Thanks for the rescue. Wish more people were like you.
Great videos, thanks for sharing.
If you ever come across a 1966 El Camino in your travels, could you please let me know ?
Thank you
I had a 65 El Camino. Wish I had it back, lol. Will keep an eye out for a 66 and let you know if I run across one. Thanks for watching.
Nice man, but he a very old 62. God Bless him! :-)
Funny, it seems the Mercedes W123 250 at 2:48 is imported from Belgium. It has a (back then) mandatory country sticker ''B'' on it.
Not sure. You viewers amaze me. You pick up on everything. Love to get your comments. Thanks for watching.
Much obliged! Very interesting video, like other viewers mentioned we Europeans would kill for interesting junk yards like these. I am currently hesitant on buying my first car, a 97' Firebird, which is quite a novelty here. They were sold here back in the day, but rare. Seeing them lined up like that in your video really makes me jealous!
Wish you could come and rescue a few. Many are really nice project cars. Like to keep them on the road. Good luck with your project. Let us know if you post any video.
Awesome video ! Cool guy and I loved the white truck!! Not a fan of full tunes but love the mini tubs! That truck was bad ass! He does nice work! Lotta irons in the fire but seems to have a handle on it. Wish I owned a junkyard!
75 bucks a week just goes to show how much inflation went up! Damn !
I love that truck too. He has many other projects, some complete and others, not. He hasn't run out of enthusiasm for life or cool rides. That Jag is going to be awesome when he gets it finished. The chassis is complete with a 9 inch Ford rear and late model Corvette engine and suspension. Such a cool guy. Thanks for watching.
You can learn a lot from them old guys! They know what's up!

Hey there's a junck yard in Siloam springs you should go there
Will look it up. Thanks.
Interesting how there are so many cars left to decay, we don't have anything like this in Australia
Hope someone rescues them like I do. Thanks for watching.
You should take a better look at the 1960 Dodge Dart . It may be rarer then you think
Yep. He has a lot of cars I need to take a closer look at. The problem is that every time I go there, I end up buying something. Getting junkyard poor, lol! Thanks for watching, Scott.
You should tell Derek of Vice grip garage about that Chevelle
I love his channel. He is a funny guy. Thanks for stopping in, Ovilia.
when you say parts car, does that mean its in too rough of shape to fix it up? the more I look at classics, the more I'm loving the 40's and 50's cars to be a project car in the future. I love the big 4 door classics with the beautiful chrome accents and the curves.
We are with you, Shawn. Big 50's chrome mobiles are beautiful. Kind of hard to define parts vs project cars as most any car can be restored if you have the abilities, money and desire. I consider it a parts car if reproduction sheet metal is scarce or doesn't exist at all, it's fairly rare so a second car for parts is not likely, it's not very complete and very rusty. If you have the desire and patience, you can make any car new. Some are just easier and less expensive to do than others. We appreciate you watching!
I'd be interested in leasing that yard. I am into vehicles of same vintage. I need a big back window for my 55 Chevy pickup
Tim is not ready to retire yet as far as I know but give him a call. If he doesn't have the back window, check with Cecil Vickers shown in another of my videos. Thanks for watching.
Liked all the comments!
Thank you, Tim.
I Need the 60 4 door Chrysler to finish one I have.
Wonder how many ex moonshiner cars in the weeds.
Wonder if there are any stills back in the weeds too, lol. Thanks for stopping in. Dick.
Brad, I'm sorry about that. I wish the Canadians and Australians were able to enjoy as many classic cars as we have in the South. Within an hour going one way, I'll pass three junk yards, Seeing all these fine cars waste away will make you cry. That's why we have rescued 10 of them and 4 were from the that junk yard. I'm looking at two more. If I had the money I would have a yard full of them to restore. Check out this channel to see all that we are saving and thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. Tena
It's hard to find great iron like this stuff in Canada as well
I guess the rust gets most of them up there. Have some rust here too but still lots of great, reasonably solid project cars. Thank you for watching.
Have you ever watched the videos from Cold War Motors up there?they have a lot of older cars and they have several projects in the works right now.
I use to live in the foothills of NC and worked In Spindale NC not too far away from Forrest City
Spindale is nearly next door. There is a guy in Rutherfordton who has a lot of cool cars too. Thanks for watching.
Does he sell whole cars out of his yard by chance ? Or are there any 71-3 scamps ?
Project cars are for sale along with parts. Sorry, no Scamps. Thanks for stopping in, Chad.
@@indyme2 I am a a-body lover lol I love all and any 2dr darts
@@chadrossiter3383 I'm with you, Chad. A bodies are my favorite.
I wonder what is the price for the Studebaker truck it is a very very nice looking truck my name is Mister peacock and just wondering how much is it for any of the cars that he have there that he have fixed up I can see that the gentlemen have very good talent and definitely know what he's doing I like that I like the truck because it's different than any truck that I've ever seen please let me know what is he selling his vehicles for and keep up the good work
Gary, the Studebaker truck is gone. He traded it for something else. Bummer. I really like that truck. Tim buys, sells and trades all the time. Seems something new has arrived every time I go there. Don't have a clue on prices. Best to just give him a call. Thanks for watching and good luck.
Does anyone happen to know if he has any early 2000's 5.7 Hemi stuff...preferably whole engines?
I have not idea, Glenn. He has a building and yard full on engines. Give Tim a call. Everything is listed in his computer. Good luck and thanks for watching.
do you know if they have any 68-70 dodge chargers in there? Im looking to restore one sometime soon
Tim had none but David Morrow has one or two if I recall correctly. Check out the Western North Carolina video. Thanks for watching.
my wants are more then my means but, I want a 73 Chevrolet sb 400 w/4.125 bore & a good 400 turbo trans 2 go with it.wonder what that would cost????
Not sure but I check Craigslist everyday. Find some good buys on there if you are patient. Thanks for watching.
I'm looking for a 1957 Ford 300 custom 4 door sedan.
I'm going to a junk yard tomorrow, Robert. Will look around for one. Also shooting a couple more junk yards soon. Will keep an eye out for one in these locations. Thanks for watching.
I wonder if ....
i am looking for a 1963 to 1964 chevy 2 dr hard top inpala frame
Check with Mr. Vicker's in Vick's Classic Cars Video on my channel. His area code is 864 and the number is near the start of the video. Bet he has one.
Curious, Does he sell whole cars? And are prices reasonable?
Everything is for sale. Some don't have titles so you will need to ask. We bought 5 complete cars from Tim. Most are very reasonable. Thanks for watching.
Bookmarked the page so I can send people there to find pieces an parts.
Thanks, Morgan!
Any straight 8 engines?
Yep. Check out my video North Carolina classic cars junkyard. David Morrow has several straight 8's. Thanks for watching.
I've bought parts here good prices
He is very reasonable. Thanks for stopping in, Jo.
Any Hudson cars/pickups?:):):)
Sorry. Not a Hudson of any kind in sight. Will keep an eye out for you though.
I figured with the name of the yard owner------------.
I have a strange "so-called" sense of humor:):):)
Lol. Zoom, that went right over my head.
why don't we have those junk yards in Holland ?
Still a lot of good classic metal around here. We are fortunate. We appreciate you watching from Holland and taking time to leave a comment.
Not sure, egbertreinders. Wish you had many. We love spending time and money in junk yards. Thanks for watching.
where in nc is this?
This is in Forest City, NC. He has a nice Corvair for sale. Give him a call and tell him I sent you. May cut you a better deal.
would some off thos cars be for sale
All car are for sale. Contact Mr. Hudson. Thanks for watching.
In forest city nc
Any motorcycles?
Not a motorcycle in sight. A motorcycle junk yard would be a great business I believe. Thanks for watching.
