Junkyards like this are basically open air automotive museums. When I travelled all over the USA 15 years ago I was amazed and elated to be able to see cars from the 50s onwards all over the place in yards etc. It is a connection to the past we are now losing which is very sad.
Watch, the government will take those classics and destroy them. And .aybe you'll find a body that's not made with such material in the past with just body work
Because once they have served their purpose in life and they cannot be fickted all the time its car heaven and gose around comes around my friend you have a good day much respect to you my friend
No click bait, just honest, disgusting crushing as promised. I would bet that these videos will prompt some junkyard tourism this year. Thanks for capturing it.
I said it during one of the live streams Jason did and still can't stop thinking about it.... People saved and purchased these cars and they were all happy when they got them home. Hard to believe.
Last time scrap prices got nutty three yards near here crushed well over 350-400cars ,most were toast but tons of big blocks of every make were scraped
It was a smart move to fill the pick-up beds and engine bays with the old steel rims. I hope that this old iron was recycled here in the U.S.A. Hate to think of it being sent to China - keep American steel plants running with native materials !
It’s good to see an operator that knows what he’s doing with a wheel loader. The last video I watched, the operator hopefully wasn’t being paid by the hour or else the owner will be bankrupt.
Hi all, and hope you look forwards to a happy safe new year. Look I'm old school, I'm 74, still a petrolhead (ok diesel lover) but I`m a realist.. Sadly you cannot keep old vehicles forever that Is a true fact, In my country being so much smaller than yours we have even less room to keep vehicles forever. In some of our English-run Islands, they even push old unwanted vehicles off the cliffs into the seas after de-polluting them, to let nature deal with it in the sea. Car shredding of good used vehicles goes towards newer made ones so its like a rebirth really..
The Komatsu loader driver operated like a world champion boxer,positioning and dancing,jabbing when given the opportunity,counter punching,clenching when necessary.
The only one I didn't like seeing was at 13:54. That's an exceptionally rare 54 Nash Statesman 2dr sedan. Only 1879 were built. 9% of the Statesman product run.
I'm not so sure that's a good thing.... "More rare" equals - harder to find, more expensive/difficult to purchase and it becomes too risky to drive around and enjoy without fear of damaging/losing it. Turning cars into investments rather than objects to be enjoyed, just takes the fun out of them. The cars that are the most fun are those that are cheap and plentiful. With a car that's "rare', you're constantly on alert when driving it or storing it. More trouble than it's worth imo.
Every car was made with great effort by workers in factory's, been on display in showrooms, bought by proud owners, and taken care off. Washed, polished, maintenaince, repairs, and sold to 2nd and 3rd owners. They all drove it to work and home. In happy sunny days, in sad rainy days. Hitchhikers taken from snowy roads to their destination, pregnant women to hospitals. Father's and sons, mothers and daughters. People met each other and say goodby in these cars. People fell in love and made love, people did argue or did criminal deeds, in these tools of the road. All gone. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, from metal to screap. I hope when I die, Heaven will be full of cars like these. And I will drive them on the Highway to Heaven or Hell, in eternety. Amen.
Merry Christmas Jason to you and yours. Sad to see them all getting crushed. But recycling is better then them just rotting away. Be safe and stay well.
Two schools of thought one being the older generation like myself not being able to work on the older cars I recognized being crushed while the younger generation not caring to work/able on them. Secondly by recycling most of them it's good for the world to realize what's gone and is not coming back so that some people might take care of what they have. Case in point my 95 Mustang convertible was acquired after father-in-law passed away and hopefully go to my youngest grandson in a few years.
Okay there were some good parts in there. One thing I noticed is a relatively lack of rust compared to the Midwest. I actually think it was 2 months or better ago that I found out about this yard planning to crush out. Thought about driving out there. I thought about seeing if they would ship it. The problem with all that is it cost too much money. Let me tell you if you think you got rushed on those vehicles you need to take a look at things in the central Midwest on out to the East Coast. You know that 73 or newer box body Chevy pickup given the date of manufacturer is a possibility it's got pieces of cars from the 1920s in it. So what I'm saying is some of them are new enough that they had recycled iron from cars older than them. Now I guess we'll make some more Hondas and tires and Kia's out of them. I don't think they sell that many toasters. It's too bad the yard couldn't have changed hands. But people did a lot of work to get the word out. I am curious what did graveyard cars do with their hearse that they kept there?
Wow, looked like a Rolls Royce at the beginning in pile. At least many looked well picked over and others not popular models to restore. I'm surprised they didn't take off the aluminum wheels and sell them separate like a lot of scrapers do. A friend of mine has a junk yard and get $16 each just for aluminum wheels from a guy. Must of been down South, most were solid rust free cars. Then you'll see in Massachusetts the work people put into old cars fixing rusted parts, cut out rust, weld in new panels, even have whole quarter panels shipping up from down South. Then you see already solid cars just getting crushed.
Oh no thet were not. Not even close That Blue 58 Impala had a perfect intact Chrome bumper worth over 500 bucks. Not to mention the rest of the car like the rear venders and doors. This could have been an easy 1500 bucks sale,
At least these cars looked really picked clean of trim and many other hard-to-find parts, so these hulks helped keep alot of other cars on the road. I noticed a mid fifties Nash and 1954 Hudson, but the Nash especially looked far gone. Sort of sad to see, but you can't keep them all.
Merry Christmas to you and your family I hope you had a great day and have a Happy new year you right this is going to be very very said to see all the great autos that will be lost for ever. I don't no how someone could crush the autos that are worth more then scrap this is the hard is thing I have seeing😣😧😭
Like y'all said they served there purpose Besides it probably made the owner over a million in a week's time for the tonnage that went out Sad but good
That's a shame..that country is very kind to steel.Ive bought several cars out of Oregon and washington and they were unbelievably clean..Not sure why they wouldn't auction the older stuff and get alot more out of it than scrap price but alot of these yards do it that way..They want the quick dollar.
I'm pretty sure I visited this Springfield, Oregon yard years ago. There was an older guy there then that said the older cars were there to stay. (They well may have outlived him?). Amazing how little rust Oregon cars have! At least most of the cars were well picked over, still sad to see. Some could have been made into rat rods or yard art.
Yes sir,it was unfortunate to see the Nissan 280 go to the crusher and I would’ve bought the Buick riviera convertible if I saw one there but that’s life
Like Brian Cooper said they did serve they purpose I am new to your channel awesome 👌 but it is a shame to see all that go away but at least it served as long as it did but I would like 👍 to see more on the bus awesome video again
Besides that industrial heritage is now gone, a lot of spareparts too. Doors, lamps, windows, of Chevy's and Ford's of the 50's and 60's. There was still good money to be made, and owners of old cars who could be helped. Thanks for this film, in 40 years people will be amazed how stupid this is. It will be also a film of historical significance. So, well done, you took effort and time for it!
Good funeral video...sad but not the worst. I worked at new car dealers my whole life, and seeing the results of "Obamas Auto Rescue " a few years ago tore my heart out. Watching older, good running cars DRIVEN into a 😢dealer where they drained the oil, put in a magic liquid, started it and put a brick on the accelerator until it blew up.... Every dealer had a back row full of these cars, and the local scrapyard would come haul them to the crusher. Once traded in, the titles were marked, and no parts could be sold from them...only crushed. Saw many vehicles driven in, would have bought and driven home, but not possible. I'll bet the owners trading them in...never knew what became of the car they took care of for the last ten years. All in the name of progress.😢😢😢
Dang, someone had to do it. Cars already look like “The Jetsons.” Gearheads predicted this just few decades ago. Wonder what SmartCar car crushing will be like….?….lol
Merry Christmas Jason! Sad, these junkyards were perfect for getting parts back then ... Today, the internet offers everything you need and many people don't care about these vehicles anymore. Btw., what are the tires on the Komatsu loader? They look kind of cool.
That Rolls-Royce @ 2:57 on top of the pile looked like it had fenders and lots of parts left. The 300Z Nissan must not be very popular up there like they are here in Texas. They part out very well here just like the 260 280 Zs.
Do they not wrap the bundles when they load them on truck? It's rough watching them crush them but atleast they aren't letting them just set there and rotten they are recycling them
That was hard to watch. So much Detriot artwork gone. Im in Ohio, so seeing all that sheet metal getting crushed when its hard to find anything thats not rotted here was brutal. So many of those bodies would have been snatched up here. And let's not even get into the glass and trim. That must have been really hard to witness on sight.
I'm a local guy living in the area. All I saved were a steering wheel, a couple of hubcaps, a vent window, and various emblems. Just to decorate the man cave a bit. I don't mean to get into local politics, but the sad end of a historic wrecking yard is just the latest in a vastly changing area. I wouldn't be surprised if the greedy Oregon Duck is somewhat involved in this as it buys up land for expansion. Blame (former) Michael Schill for that. Not to mention the lack of affordable housing due to wealthier people from Washington, California, and Portland city buying homes as soon as it hits the market. Heck, even Glenwood is unrecognizable within the past 10 years. The Eugene/Springfield and surrounding areas are growing too fast. It would only be 20 more years before it becomes as big as the Portland area. Right now, many old historic places deemed "noncontributing to local culture" are being erased. I'd look at the Buick dealership that closed recently in Springfield as well as the Chevy dealership and Coca-Cola plant near UO (although you've been there before).
70 years they had a good run now is the time to crush all those shells. Scrap prices are high but you can't make money letting stuff rust. What did they use that square 4 legged metal object for?
That was made to pierce gas tanks and oil pans mostly.The loader pick up the car and will lower the cars tank onto the arrow which will pierce it and catch the fluids in the square tank below.Most wrecking yards already drain the fluids before they put the cars out in the yard though,so it didn’t look like it got much action.
Clicked on the video and paused it immediately because I don’t want to watch it As somebody who loves the classic cars up through the 70s, it tears me up to see so much potential get crushed to bits
in reality these cars are better recircabled than sitting and rot in a field...the owner of them can also get some money for them and most of them already seems taken from good parts.
So heartbreaking to watch. Most looked pretty picked over but there were still a lot of good parts that could have been saved. If I had a way to do it I would go to these crush out yards and strip ALL the good parts off to save them. Someone somewhere is looking for them. We can't save them all but wasting valuable and hard to find parts is just nuts to me.
I agree! Me and few others were grabbing whatever parts we could before the crushers came. He said that my previous video had brought alot of Sales and saved alot parts.
Rewarding to see most of these junkpiles Good Riddance they are way beyond any hope in my opinion and many others. I own a classic car and am retired so I know whats going on here better off to recycle most of these 4 door junkers,LOLL! Thanks for your videos on this I enjoy it .I would luv to load that crusher I would find it enjoyable and very satisfying ...
@@XrayDean Thank God theres smart people in this world that know the right thing to do with these old cars and not a small % & handful of dreamers and hoarders out there who think its a sin and a shame and sad to crush these cars. Most of these cars are toast its quite obvious.You can see the rust powder pouring out of them on many when they are crushed from internally. Open your eyes my friend case closed here.. Im glad that some good stuff was saved thats a good thing but the rest not at all......
Junkyards like this are basically open air automotive museums. When I travelled all over the USA 15 years ago I was amazed and elated to be able to see cars from the 50s onwards all over the place in yards etc. It is a connection to the past we are now losing which is very sad.
@ person X. A few survive, for now, around my current residence and they were always great to see during my trips across country.
Watch, the government will take those classics and destroy them.
And .aybe you'll find a body that's not made with such material in the past with just body work
I wasn't sad to see them getting crushed. Most looked like they were picked clean beyond repair .Can't fix em all.
The frames are still good for hotroding and such
I can with my buddy's
We make miracles in our garage.
How many tons of iron were crushed out in this yard.
How coldhearted a man must be to do this with all the lovely cars
Because once they have served their purpose in life and they cannot be fickted all the time its car heaven and gose around comes around my friend you have a good day much respect to you my friend
They were beyond repair. You know that right?
No click bait, just honest, disgusting crushing as promised. I would bet that these videos will prompt some junkyard tourism this year. Thanks for capturing it.
Well you cant save everything & picking & listing parts takes time & money .Excellent video .
Great coverage of this wipe up, you did all you could too getting the word out to others.
I said it during one of the live streams Jason did and still can't stop thinking about it.... People saved and purchased these cars and they were all happy when they got them home. Hard to believe.
It was sad to watch but they served their purpose on and off the road
A lot of them can be restored.
Every classic car crushed is gone forever.
Just what I just said to someone else on here they served their purpose on the road and off road nice one bro or sister from Jason M M
Last time scrap prices got nutty three yards near here crushed well over 350-400cars ,most were toast but tons of big blocks of every make were scraped

Yea that’s a hard watch, I felt it with every piece of glass breaking and every irreplaceable piece of chrome crushed. Much love from the U.K.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
Superb video at least they were as you said mostly all parted out still great that the better stuff has been saved .
It’s good to see an operator that knows what he’s doing with a wheel loader. The last video I watched, the operator hopefully wasn’t being paid by the hour or else the owner will be bankrupt.
Merry Christmas Country boy and family. Yes it’s always said to see this going on. Thanks Country boy for sharing.

Merry Christmas Jason to you and yours. Sad to see them all getting crushed. But recycling is better then them just rotting away. Be safe and stay well.
Sad day to see History disappear in a couple days Thanks Jason Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Watched every minute of this excellent video. Superb and exciting.
Merry Christmas Jason and to your family! Always enjoy watching what ever your doing! Sad to see the car crushed! God bless y'all!

Another way to look at it : the vehicles that were crushed, increases the scarcity / value of the ones that are still out there.
Nice job documenting everything, truly a sad day to see it all go.
Thanks!

Phase 2 is when they go through the grinder that is entertaining. It was time these were crushed anyway like he said. The bones were picked clean.
Oh no thet were not.
Not even close
That Blue 58 Impala had a perfect intact Chrome bumper worth over 500 bucks.
Not to mention the rest of the car like the rear venders and doors.
This could have been an easy 1500 bucks sale,
Thank about Christine the car going get you
I'm a classic car nut, but I did not find this video sad to watch. These cars looked like they were beyond saving. A fond farewell to these cars
Most of the good stuff was sold at the last minute, so that's good.
Oh no.
Those 58 Impala's were in good condition regarding the panels
At least these cars looked really picked clean of trim and many other hard-to-find parts, so these hulks helped keep alot of other cars on the road. I noticed a mid fifties Nash and 1954 Hudson, but the Nash especially looked far gone. Sort of sad to see, but you can't keep them all.

hate to see them go ,but they have to do what they have to do I guess anyway have a Happy new year hope to see more projects from you
Like y'all said they served there purpose
Besides it probably made the owner over a million in a week's time for the tonnage that went out
Sad but good
I got 2 see a load of these cars at the shredder so cool
You were right, that was very hard to watch. Regardless, I'm really digging your channel. Look forward to a happier video in the future.
I live in the northeast, this was indeed very upsetting to see
I watch you all the time and love watching this just wanted to say you need some one in a skidser with a bucket to pick up the little parts.
Interesting that there doesn’t seem to be many total rust buckets among the cars.
The blue 64 through 66 GMC broke my heart!
Looks like time has claimed its’ prize.
Thanks for documenting this even though it is sad,it’s inevitable.
That's a shame..that country is very kind to steel.Ive bought several cars out of Oregon and washington and they were unbelievably clean..Not sure why they wouldn't auction the older stuff and get alot more out of it than scrap price but alot of these yards do it that way..They want the quick dollar.
He was having a liquidation sale for months up to this but alot didn't sell...😞
I know,have you seen the prices they get on Ebay for nasty rusted out bodies that need almost every body panel replaced.
Well, that sucks. I could have used the parts from that 79 Mustang at 11:45. What a shame to see these cars get destroyed.
I'm pretty sure I visited this Springfield, Oregon yard years ago. There was an older guy there then that said the older cars were there to stay. (They well may have outlived him?). Amazing how little rust Oregon cars have! At least most of the cars were well picked over, still sad to see. Some could have been made into rat rods or yard art.
Thanks Country!

Man, I don't like seeing this, you will still get a like from me of course, love your videos!!
Oh man...I saw a early Scout in some of the drone footage.😩
Some of you people hating on Fords, without competition there wouldn't be all the great cars that we had.
Can't help but to think about all the stories and people associated with those old cars and trucks. Most of which I'm sure are no longer here.
Same here...

Thanks! That'd be interesting to watch...lol!
And the circle of life continues from the old comes the new yes it's sad but at the same time it's helping the environment or something like that
You are lost, that's for sure
At 10:19 goes a 53 Pontiac like mine to old cars haven.
Looks like the death crusher needs a tune up
Merry Christmas Jason!
Sad, these junkyards were perfect for getting parts back then ... Today, the internet offers everything you need and many people don't care about these vehicles anymore.
Btw., what are the tires on the Komatsu loader? They look kind of cool.
After market parts are China or Taiwan shit that do not fit and are thinner metal.
Komatsu has solid rubber tires so that they cannot be popped by the sharp scrap metal.
That Rolls-Royce @ 2:57 on top of the pile looked like it had fenders and lots of parts left. The 300Z Nissan must not be very popular up there like they are here in Texas. They part out very well here just like the 260 280 Zs.

Ya cant save em all
Its better not to think about the cars and think bout the money in the bank 🤘

Just a bit sad but the has to come at some point

To the metal recycling plant.

Lots of four doors. Very hard to sell four door specific parts. Several mustangs and a Grand Prix went.
I've seen a lot of four door cars being fixed up as budget classics as the prices of two doors climb even higher.
Phew !....at least no Volvo's got crushed !
I didn't get it on video but there was at least one classic Volvo...
That was Sad to see huh n hate seeing them get crushed
All that Detroit steel gone forever.
in reality these cars are better recircabled than sitting and rot in a field...the owner of them
can also get some money for them and most of them already seems taken from good parts.
So heartbreaking to watch. Most looked pretty picked over but there were still a lot of good parts that could have been saved. If I had a way to do it I would go to these crush out yards and strip ALL the good parts off to save them. Someone somewhere is looking for them. We can't save them all but wasting valuable and hard to find parts is just nuts to me.
I agree! Me and few others were grabbing whatever parts we could before the crushers came. He said that my previous video had brought alot of Sales and saved alot parts.
Have a Beer 🍻
I went to hit the like button it was at 666 I thought how fitting is that.
🤣👍
Ok now I got to get therapy from the horror my eyes beheld - to do such unholy things especially to the pick up truck
Rewarding to see most of these junkpiles Good Riddance they are way beyond any hope in my opinion and many others. I own a classic car and am retired so I know whats going on here better off to recycle most of these 4 door junkers,LOLL! Thanks for your videos on this I enjoy it .I would luv to load that crusher I would find it enjoyable and very satisfying ...
Hope you don’t ever need a quarter panel.
@@XrayDean Thank God theres smart people in this world that know the right thing to do with these old cars and not a small % & handful of dreamers and hoarders out there who think its a sin and a shame and sad to crush these cars. Most of these cars are toast its quite obvious.You can see the rust powder pouring out of them on many when they are crushed from internally. Open your eyes my friend case closed here.. Im glad that some good stuff was saved thats a good thing but the rest not at all......
I bet you like to enjoy going to executions at your local prison too!
@@carlinshowalter1806 Your comparison is ridiculous!!!
