In this video we go back to the 4000 car junkyard maybe for the last time and try to save as many as possible before they all get crushed! It’s unbelievable what was in this collection and what has already got crushed. So counting these 2 we were able to save a total of 5 cars so far before they got crushed. We may be able to get a couple more in the future but for now he is going to keep what is left, or they are already claimed by someone else. Hope you like the video, I am very excited about being able to get two 78 Ford Fairmonts and they are both great body styles a station wagon and a 2 door sedan. Stay tuned for more videos of the cars we have saved from the junkyard.

I just popped for 8 of these meals, thanks for the discount, better be good. Doc's on my posterior about improving my eating habits, all that eat healthy crap, I don't see what's wrong with Doritos and hamburgers three meals a day, but we will see.
Will do, need easy eats once in a while. 😊
I don't think I've ever seen someone use a pressure washer without a extension wand. I guess you like getting up close & personal with your pressure washing :D
BTW: That was so cool when you pressured washed the inside of the car, I don't think I've ever seen that before. :D
A year ago if someone told me I’d spend an hour or more watching a guy and children power washing a car 🤔 I’d have said they were crazy 😂, it’s warm family oriented viewing that for me just takes me back in more ways than one , love it and Josh keep doing what your doing 👌🏻.
I have to say it is quality entertainment. I enjoy watching real family oriented content. It beats the crap out of what is passed off as family content these days. This gives me hope, and I enjoy knowing I am supporting a true American family!!!
😂
Same! 😄
Might be a bit better if split the videos up a little. But what do I know. Just happen to come across this channel and enjoy it
The family involvement is a big part of the draw.
I just want to thank you for what you do on your channel you and your family are the best I in joy watching you here on TH-cam
Thank you so much!
Appreciate you including your father in these videos. He seems like a man very few words but a hard worker.
Sleeperdude is my favorite show!! I laugh so hard when Rocky starts helping!! Haha!! I couldn’t believe when my wife said Sleeperdude is now her favorite show too!! Great content and a super great family!! Keep up the great work!! We’ll be watching!!
Thats awesome
Honestly, this thing is a true survivor when it comes to rust, it's also quite a bottom of the barrel model of what I call a 'economy' model. That being said, other than the fender and hood (which in my opinion is from a fallen tree) and the rust it's a solid survivor. She'll run I bet'cha Josh!
I hope so
Where can I catch your comedy act?
@@Sleeperdude awesome. Love to see you and your family save that classic car. Cheers from Indonesia...
@@Sleeperdude Be on the lookout for one of these gems a Ranchero FAIRMONT th-cam.com/video/PL25xP-LQWM/w-d-xo.html
I could watch the power washing all day long. Mesmerizing. Love your family and all y'all do.
Hi guys love your videos rescuing all the old cars and bringing them back to life
Good, wholesome family entertainment! Can't get that on tv anymore, except for reruns. Love and good blessings to all the family. Wheezing the juice, Encino Man (1994). Good movie. Smokey & The Bandit references, awesome!
Thank you
always fun looking at you and your family thank you josh i cant wait for the next video
Thank you
it's just the best. mechanics, family and southern swagger. makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...😄
Never in a million years would I think I'd spend 20 minutes watching someone power wash a car. It was surprisingly satisfying.
Awesome glad you enjoyed it
Every time I watch one of your videos I get sad thinking about me family and my children . You Sir are blessed and living the dream. God Bless
Thank you
I feel the same way. I miss having a family to share those memories with.
My friend has a Fairmont ES Turbo 2 door with factory sunroof and a hood scoop that says Turbo. He also has a Fairmont 302 factory 4 speed. Both are in excellent condition and pretty rare models I heard. For those who can not grasp this guy's Fairmont addiction, he's having a blast and seems to have an understanding family. Plenty of property to park his cars. Enjoy.
Brushed on blue and gray paint saved the red from UV rays the red paint still looks dark and nice. The red paint will look even better after a wax job. Watching the paint come off is very satifing.
I love the Squeeze 's attitude...." ewwww ". She's a classic!
Yes for sure
when i seen you posted a new video, and you went back to the junk yard to get another car, Josh i am so happy you were able to go back. glad you are able to rescue a few car`s from the crusher. and your dad seem`s like a real cool man. and someone fun to hang out with.
Yes thank you
My best friends sister had a fairmont! I hated that car! But now I have a new appreciation for the pos!
I always enjoy watching your family interaction, ya’ll make us smile!
Thank you
Antique Avon stuff! 😂 Best comment of the day!
I don't know you u handle Rocky sometimes. That goat drives me crazy thru the television when I try to concentrate on your work dam goat gets in the was of the camera. Lol.. love ❤️ the sleeperdude family!
Thank you
I admire you sir,
Good man and father.
Keep up the good work I will be liking every video you make make God keep you and yours we do not walk alone.
Great to see ya'll out saving more cars. I really like your truck. It be worth saving also don't you think? 👍🏼😊❤️❤️
Yes 👍
Is he really saving it? Or is it going to rot away in his yard instead of the junkyard?
Ralfie is right ..the wagon beats the soap bar car. lol. I would like the Dart wagon to hit the road!. fun being with ya and be with ya on the next!
Came across your channel a few weeks ago and I've been watching nonstop ever since. I love that your family is involved. Keep them videos coming!
Thanks so much
Great family! Holy mackerel... squeezy actually pressure-washed instead of disappearing. :) Excellent Josh how you listen and give your children attention. Aloha
Love watching your shows I like the way you talk about what you’re doing are you going to paint any of your cars would like to se one car finished.Keith in United Kingdom
Thank you I’m glad you like them. As of now I am planning on painting the Falcon and Ralphies corvette
@@Sleeperdude thanks for responding will look forward to all your new and old shows P/S loved the gray blue and red car look like a good car no rust at all keith
Yes, another wagon saved. Wagons are the most underrated vehicles. Vienna is getting so big. I love going to junkyards, it's like therapy.
Yes love the wagons
That wagon looks so good. I rode in and drove in those wagons so much, I really do love them. With a 302, that is. :)
It is just heavenly bliss watching you guys pressure wash your vehicles.So very satisfying seeing the whole process.Thanks so much for your videos.I love ❤️ watching alot
Nice to see the old car's being saved.
I grew up in Junk yards. Great childhood memories.
Tennessee, Fairmont capital of the world. I've never seen so many in one spot. I don't think the whole state of iowa has that many. Beautiful sight!
I think its awesome that the whole family is involved,, I'm old school I come from a time where family was very important. Its good to see you also believe family is important. I like that everyone takes part its a great way to spend time together.love the videos, keep up the great content.
Thank you
That hood latch is….ingenious to say the least. 😂
GinnyinNC Because Road Kill. The Rotsun.
Encino Man! I've seen that movie probably 30 times. Great video I love seeing these cars getting cleaned up.
It’s nice to see someone is excited about owning a two door Fairmont; you maybe the only humanoid who does! You can see the beauty where none exists!
😂 that Rocky. Always has to inspect everything
I’ve owned several foxbody mustangs, always wanted a coupe, this is pretty much the same car, with different sheet metal.
This would be the perfect classroom project for your kiddos and your viewers to learn something about automotive body repair and paint. I hope you decide to keep this one and restore it, maybe make a little hotrod out of it. I hope you keep it all ford too!
Thanks Josh, I’m enjoying keeping up with the channel and your projects, and glad you and your wife involve your kids in the whole process.
Thank you
Удачи тебе.ты все правельно делаешь спасаешь машины.это ваша история автомобильного производство
I have always heard preparation is key to a good paint job, that says a lot about this paint job!
Hi from uk Josh and all 👋 👍 the pressure washer session was great thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait yo see the will it start and again blue wagon is probably my choice lol thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋
Thank you 😊
I've seen doors and gas doors locked with padlocks, but never seen a "hood latch" 😄😄 That's new! Good job rescuing these Fairmonts! They're true "sleepers" for sure!
Awesome video. You and your family are so blessed.
Thank you yes we are
The factory paint is in much better shape than I expected it to be. Those were like a Falcon, as they were a smaller car with good room and got good gas mileage. Darn nice cars and easy to work on.
Good to to see you guys
You as well
@@Sleeperdude save the wagon first fix up 4 rims and tires then get it running
I gotta say, after watching the fairmont videos… I just might have to find one for myself. 😁 Good thing the painter didn’t scuff or primer the car first. Can’t wait to see them run and drive! Thank you!
5th. Best part of my Friday night 9:00 PM sharp.
It’s Even a great Part of the Afternoon @ 3:00 pm. East Coast USA., Not too far North of the “SleeperFamily”. Enjoy Your Friday Evening Sir
Awesome thank you
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you power wash the red Fairmont. I used to love driving a tan model when they were new. It also had the six cylinder engine. I too, liked the square, angular design. It was such a basic no frills and reliable car. You could dress it up any way you like. Take care.
Thank you
Thanks for another family project!! I love watching the old stuff come off with a pressure washer (for some reason). But why didn’t the red paint come off? Is it baked on? Hahaha
Thank you I’m glad you liked it. Usually original paint won’t come off
Watching you guys power wash the car was very therapeutic thanks I really enjoyed that
Good to See You
You as well
Sleeperdude - I just got my dream car in January - A 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis 4 door sedan 50th Anniversary edition with Gold Anodized exterior trim. It only has 72,000.0 miles on it and looks like it just came out of the showroom. It is dark blue with blue crushed velour interior. I have taken it to New Hampshire twice so far and got 24 miles per gallon. There is a body shop up there that spray oils the body and frame to protect it from our salty New England roads with chain saw bar oil which has a gummy additive to adhere to the metal. I am a Ford Crown Victoria Wagon guy with two - a 1991 and a 1987 both 8 passenger with all the bells and whistles. I see you are a Fairmont guy. I worked with a guy years ago that bought a Fairmont wagon brand new and then had it stolen right in front of our Machine Shop. He eventually got it back full of stole cigarettes. Go figure. Keep up the great work on your channel.
Me: I'll never understand Josh's obsession with Ford Squaremonts.
My wife: Says the guy with a collection of mid-80s Ford Escorts.
Me:...
...
...
...That's different.
'80's Escorts? Really?
@@mexicanspec sure 89 escort gt looks decent
@@darrenswails Yes looks decent but it doesn't drive very well. I bought the first electric blue 1991 Escort GT that came in to my friends dealership though, and that was quite a car.
Good kid that Ralphie is. As a kid, I always loved going to junkyards too. Still do, although around here, old car yards are gone. Old cars are in my blood. My grandfather always had '40s/'50s/'60s Cadillacs, my dad is into '50s Corvettes, And I'm a '50s/'60s Chevy guy. My mom had a hunter green '78 Ford Fairmont wagon in the late '80s. One of my duties as a child of a divorced single mom was to service that car. Love how your whole family is involved with cars. My girls don't even want to ride in my '58 Chevy Impala.
You can never have too many red Fairmont's.
Exactly
I have to tell yah' I agree with Ralghy. I tub it out and put pace slicks on the back, maybe a big block with a manual transmission. Although a good automatic transmission with a B&M upgrade would be quicker... 🤔
Yeah that would be cool
family car! takes the whole family to push it!
Staying in a hotel this weekend, so added Sleeperdude to the search on TH-cam on the TV, ready to spread the word for the next person who stays here.
"Just the leaves Rocky"
Yeah he likes the seats a lot
@@Sleeperdude can i get a shout out in ur next vid i would die for that
Love the family videos. I had an 80 Ford Fairmont 4 door. Light powder blue. That thing was a tank, I rear ended a little hatchback charger and folded the hatchback into the rear wheels with only one other scratch on the center of my hood...
Thank you
Alway enjoy your channel and yall make me feel like iam family and i do belong
That’s awesome glad you enjoy it
Not only are you folks fantastic mechanics, your family dynamic is incredible. "Good people" God Bless. I really enjoy every video you out out.
Thank you
kinda wonder if the red fairmont was an undercover cop car that they repainted over time.
or maybe stolen and painted to evade the cops
That black fairmont wagon is a new favorite. Super cool car, awesome color awesome that it’s a wagon too cool. Glad you got it!
Love it
I have always had an odd thing for Fairmounts, especially wagons! I wanted to take a rusty Mustang 5.0 and just swap over all the parts. Maybe add some nice, tasteful wood grain to the sides. I also really dig Suzukis. I had a few Geo Metros and they were so nice to work on. I am trying to find a Samurai right now, but the prices are a bit too high for my taste.
Yeah for sure
Loved the show! I'm not use to junk yards out in the woods. I've only seen them on u tube. We love to see the family out there cleaning up the cars, the red one really cleaned up surprisingly well. We look forward to more of the videos. Love the goats and pig!
Saludos amigos y exelente sus trabajos en unión familiar exitos un abrazo fuerte de Lima Perú 🇵🇪👍
Thank you
My first car was a Fairmont 2 door with the inline 200 6 cylinder, love to see these cars still on the road. My Fairmont was a bit of a turd but it ran 5 years and I only paid 50 dollars for it.
Thats cool
I had an 80 Zephry 2dr sedan a long time ago . One option I only seen in a few pictures was some sedans had a vent covering the rear sail panel. Have you ran into any like that?
Interesting no I haven’t saw that yet
I think that was the es model that had the louvers at the quarter glass. I think it had the turbo 2.3 liter
God Bless y'all
Good evening
Good evening to you
@@Sleeperdude thanks.
Love the old wagons, glad you grabed it, great video,,
Hahaha 😂 classic "Encino Man" reference, yet another entertaining video, Cheers fellas 👌🏼
Thank you
All that slop painting was a mixed blessing. Helped protect the original finish in places, but the flat direct exposures got baked. Oh well, if you body it out it will probably end up with new paint anyway.
We need more corvette videos that's where it's at my friend make it ready for his prom lol he'll get all the ladies lol
I am working on getting parts now
I know , the Young Man Owns a Vette & is Looking at a Suzuki in a Junk Yard ??
Help a Fella Understand That One
Josh, it's awesome that you saved so many Ford Fairmonts and hopefully, they will be back on the road. Blessings to you and your family.
I wonder what the motor will be like
How can you not love those cute farm animals! It may be time to do an episode on them. That Vennia’s got my heart!
I agree. I loved seeing Granny goat getting some love at the end of the video. I hear some chickens in the background during the video too along with some cows in the distance. Would be awesome to see a walk around.
Thank you I’m glad you like them. It’s a zoo around here
@@Sleeperdude Lol!!
Keep an eye out for a 'BRICKLIN'. I need one for parts. 🤔
Will do
My husband and I love watching and our dog Lucy girl loves rocky 🤣love watching the family work together 💯love the long videos 👏👍
Looking good why would they paint it with a brush
I’m not sure they really messed it up
That Fairmont is definitely a base model but really made in 1978 minimal rust in the floor can't beat that. You must have spent hours pressure washing that house paint off and then the best looking to be the engine bay I wouldn't mind working on an engine degreased like that now. Really great work your wife is a real trooper getting in there and helping you pressure wash it as well. Your whole family did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
Was there a ranger there for Ralphie?
Unfortunately no
I have a 2 door box top that is one family owned. Will never sell it, love that car
Awesome
I love ur vids
Thank you
Definitely not too bad. Will not be too bad to fix. Hopefully start seeing these Fairmonts running again
“ No wheezing the juice!“ - Encino Man
Yes
I knew it was pauley shore lol
That red boxtop would really make good turbo inline six sleeper car. Baseline model=less gadgets/less weight=more speed. 😄👍
I'm fairly new ( no pun intended) to yer channel so I'm wondering what yer affinity to the Fairmonts is?
Same platform as the fox body easy sleeper builds. Plus comfy granny car I assume.
I like ugly cars no one else usually likes. And they are lightweight and are on the fox body platform so mustang parts fit.
@@Sleeperdude Don't really care what car it is, watching the whole family dig in and get their hands dirty is priceless! Sending some love from Northern Calif!
Hi Guys! I just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching ever since. It's so cool how your whole family gets involved in the projects.
Thank you
Tired of the ford Fairmont, but love your video. Change cars please
Yes new one coming soon
The black wagon would look cool with red pin Stipe's. You all did a great job cleaning the red one 👍
Thank you
How long are y'all going to allow Ralphie to have that tic-toc hair do? Something has to be done.
He loves it, I’m just glad he’s not wanting to do other things kids do sometimes
@@Sleeperdude for sure! more parents should be raising their kids up these days the way y'all do. The world would be a better place.
It’s me again Josh. I tell ya I’m really liking the Foxbody Fairmonts all of them ❤️👍. May Y’all have a Blessed one sir.
I've been watching you guys for 3 or 4 years now. I know, I watch out about 30 hours a week. But anyway, yeah, I really like watching you guys. Everybody pictures in, and you're teaching your kids. How hot it is, and you gotta be able to work hard. Get what you want, anyway, man, you guys do a good job. I really like watching Yao.
I could watch you guys work all day long.
thank you! and God bless all of you!
I love you videos. You have a wonderful family and it’s great to you all together working on the cars. Only problem now is your making me search for a Galaxy wagon. Keep up the great videos.
That’s funny thank you
Man getting those cars sure was a challenge but thanks to dad you got both of them will little problems. Before washing the red/maroon car I was thinking that would be a great car for WAWA to drive around as her first car. That car is definitely a man or chick magnet. Lots of family help which is fantastic. Thanks for all the videos.
Thank you so much
2 words for that paint: Purple Power. Soak it down full strength while the car is dry. Let it sit 5-10 minutes and watch it wash away. A trick we used on our rental manlifts after painters used them and didn’t bother covering anything on the lift itself. Works like magic.
