Unfortunately too many old timers are reluctant to sell any of their hoard while they're of age and mentally capable... and this is how they often end up, in complete disrepair and most not worth saving. Sad, thanks for sharing!
It's because wealth and money doesnt excite them... nor should it excite anyone...its about enjoying what your passion is !
@@oldskool1979 under the RUST spell.
@@allenschmitz9644 a big number on the bank statement an living in a white modern condo box doesn't mean you are wealthy or live a full life everyone has their idea of happiness an no one should judge . Its a shame what happened but a quick dollar is all some care about instead of a auction an possible making more money
So true!! My Grandfather always said a man doesn't need anymore than he can fit into his pockets!!
@@mermaiddreams83 He was a wise man no doubt, as each goes by been trying to uphold his mythology. I just need bigger pockets!
As a car guy that's a veteran of some pretty tough restorations, seeing all those hard to find parts getting crushed, well yes, that crushes me too. Trims, taillights, panels, yep theres people out there desperate for those parts, and even whole cars, when you got skills, nothing is beyond saving. Would have been better to have sold each for scrap value to an enthusiast or restorer.
Some classic cars run high dollars
I can't imagine how many people were looking for parts off these cars. This makes me sick!!
and to think all this metal will be reused to manufacture POS made in china products of some sort.
@@oldskool1979 NEW Japanese cars and trucks for Toyota Jan!
Very few people are looking parts off those cars.
@@danielc5205 so there is a few, imagine if you were one of them
@@danielc5205 I know people looking for parts like this, but most of those cars were solid enough to build too.
“I’m gonna fix it up” was likely what the old man told anyone who offered to take some off his hands.
You hit the nail on the head! Seen it a bunch of times. If they only could've looked into the future and seen this!
Yes indeed. Hoarding is a recognised disorder/illness. One of the classic symptoms is a failure to grasp reality (the old man was never going to get around to fixing these).
Yep , how many times have you heard that ,not for sale, one day I am going to fix her up , and years later it's rusted into the ground . Been there seen that ! Wake up and pass it onto someone with some get up and go , and then you can go sit on the couch again and dream
I remember old man back in 1980s had cars like this everyone thought he was to high on his prices for the cars they end up getting crushed buy his family after he past on he let them rot to the ground
@@andrewmonaghan8487 HIS CHOICE, and NOT YOUR's DREW!
The old guy held onto them too long. Saving them from the crushers……to end up in the crusher.
But the bodies are still solid as a rock
Agree, saving them for the crusher is not saving them. I don't think some people know what they have sitting there.
@@sjd73ss the bodies are rusted hulks. What could have been saved is some trim. Lots of vintage glass.
He was just another demented hoarder. Some hoarders collect cats.
@@johnfranklin5277 I saw a YT channel where a guy has a service where he dips a car like that for $2500, comes out primeable metal.
You'd think they would have held an auction on all those classics.The old fella sure put some hard work in building all those sheds!
I don't understand why the cars were so rusty and completely destroyed if they were in sheds.
@@Islamisthecultofsin
Those sheds were not totally enclosed; wind, dust, temperature and weather in general can wresk havoc on cars sitting over long periods of time.
The old feller probably hired up people to do most of the building. Way too many people claimed that they built this and they built that when in reality it was other people that helped them.
This was absolutely heartbreaking to watch, the man's wife probably doesn't have a clue at the amount of money his collection would have been worth to the right person!! Definitely a 100 times what it will bring for scrap prices!!
I agree, truly a waste
Yeah, not a lot of forethought here. Quick cash without the insurance headache if something went wrong and too hard to find "the right person ". I ran into that same issue with my father's collection of mopars, nobody wants a four door valiant, four door dodge dart GT, gutted and customized dodge b300 vans or a seriously restoration project 64 Ford f100 custom camper special. The Ford was the ONLY one that sold. The rest were crushed
You've never dealt with the public before. Every a-hole would be there trying to get stuff for nothing. It's easy to understand why people just CRUSH. We did it with 36 acres of cars. Trust me it's not worth the hassle.
@@tjewett1967 Yep that too, also auctions aren't much better. In fact I bet there was an auction and the scrapper won it.
It sucks to see the loss of these cars. But the neglect and deterioration means they were lost many years ago. A clean property could probably bring in 10 x what the value of those cars.
That made me want to cry . many were to far gone , but many were saveable .
At least you saved something. It's sad that the family couldn't be bothered to investigate what they owned. Thank you for your channel.
I'm from New Zealand and would desperately love one of those painfully beautiful American classics from the 50s
You can tell he loved the cars enough to build shelter for them. The problem was the he waited way too long to let go of the collection and now the will be lost forever. SAD!
Whoever did this was an absolute fool. Scrap guys can be some of the worst for the car Hobby.
This isn't a hobby. It's a cold hearted business.
@@1940limited Its a business and recycling is good for the world .
@@jaywalker712 Nothing wrong with that but certain things don't need to be recycled in this manner. They're worth more as saleable items. It's all about money.
Its about a quick buck nothing more than that
This is what make the ones still out there worth more
The red softtop would be an Truimph Herald. I am zo glad you did manage to film what was left. Love what you and Joe do.
Good call.I thought it was a Sunbeam.
I learned to drive a stick shift in one of those.
I thought it was the same car as Maxwell Smart on Get Smart TV show. If it was it would be worth a fortune restored
Thanks for showing us this collection. It is a shame that this man did not realize that he needed to do something with his collection while he still could be the one to decide what to do with it. Were you able to save some of those parts from the remains of that shed? I know that some people see old cars and trucks like this and say that they are being recycled here. However, they are gone forever. Thanks for working so hard, you and Joe, and saving what you can. I am glad that some of his collection was saved. Keep making your videos, I really enjoy watching what you find to share with us and what you are able to do in your work and videoing.
What a amazing collection but sad that they got wrecked. The “Mercedes” is a Triumph Herald from the 1960’s. So sad to see everything squashed. Like you say, lots of sellable stuff on each vehicle even if you didn’t restore them. Made my stomach sick. Nice that a few weeks saved. They should have had a big auction. Thanks for recording it though.
Sad to see so many classic car getting crashed. It would had been nice to get a few of those cars. Thank you for the video.
Madness. What a collection though bet the old boy was a proper character love from the UK
These old cars represent what used to be freedom and pursuit of happiness in life...It really is concerning, what is happening....
Crazy that he built all those little tin sheds for them, and then that's what happened at the end.
The tin sheds and dirt floor didn't do much to save them but there's a lot of good parts here, or was.
This is a truly sad scenario that us enthusiasts see over and over again. I'm sure there are many reasons that people feel compelled to crush collections like this, with money not being one of them. If you think about it, everything we use or consume continues to rise in price yet the price of scrap does not. I do not see the motivation in scrapping anything, especially pieces of automotive history.
watching these beautiful cars get scrapped like this really turns my stomach
You should watch what industrial demolition crews do to multi million dollar plants !! No thoughts of saving anything to make more money. Just smash and grab !!!!
Scrap prices are thru the roof here money is the reason in my state I scrapped two 1980S cars for almost $600 a piece nows the time to scrap cars ...
Thanks for the epilogue ending on an upbeat note, that helped a little. I was really gettin bummed out and thought about bailing on the video a few times, especially when the 63 Riv got squished…damn. This felt a little like witnessing a crime… 👍 on the video anyway.
It is a shame that the current owners of the property didn't take the time to set up an auction, which would have netted them a lot more money than scrapping all the cars the previous owner collected. After the scrappers leave with the bulk of the metal, someone has to go back and sort out all the wood from the metal and dispose of that as well. Looks like a war zone after the cars are removed. Current owners must have wanted the quick cash from the scrappers. Now the property is a big mess. Should have sold it with all the cars on it. Very sad end to some collectors good intentions.
I saw a service on YT where they dip cars like that in a rust bath and they come out shiny metal. For like 2500$. Then you do some body work and paint.
Fucking hoarders man.
Sad end for sure. But I don’t know about the guy’s good intentions. Sheds or no sheds they were left to rot.
If scrapped they get an easy 10-12 cents per lb + cats of any of the 70s ones had it. Gets them about $600-700 per vehicle in just scrap not counting if any had cats
@@D4x4Bronc who is doing your math? Then you have the fees for the crusher and crew.
Really sad that he enjoyed collecting them and in the end it didn’t matter. Thanks for sharing your videos!
He should have sold them along as soon as he knew there was an issue. He didn't go senile over night.
Glad a few were saved, that Lincoln looked very restorable. The ‘56 Ford Ranch wagon was a sad one to lose.
I'm currently looking for a flathead engine like the one in the 49-51 Ford in that row. The Victoria would be nice as well as the Ranch Wagon. Crown Victoria's are bringing 20K to 30K restored. Those parts would have fit them.
@@owlseye32713 I know what you mean.
I've been helping a friend restore a 64 Bonneville.
It has a lot of one off parts. Especially body and interior parts.
There are a few specialty Pontiac restoration part houses like Aimes, but the 64 Bonneville is still a car of its own in a lot of ways.
It's been a two and half year project.
It was luckily in a garage for the last 24 years, or it would've probably ended up being a parts car itself.
It has 70 thousand actual miles on it.
But the only thing Maintained on it was the body and interior.
And it was wrecked at least once in its life.
The front clip was replaced except for the hood and right fender.
Wasn't done all that well.
The Core support was bent too.
But probably good enough for most people that don't know any different.
Had the bumpers straitened and rechromed, yes they got used a bit.
Reshimmed the fenders hood, right door, and trunk lid.
Fixed a few dents and made the body straight.
And he chose to have it wrapped. Pearl White.
It's always garaged, and the wrap is Garranteed 5 years, which is longer than most paint is these days, at least here in California.
The engine and transmission were both toast.
The rear end was still good. Although if it ran much longer the driveshaft would've probably litterally fell out.
Some people don't understand noises or vibrations.
Anyway I've already blabed too much.
But the car was almost completely apart.
Just not all at the same time.
It's not a show car, just a really clean driver.
And a driver it is!
Not like today's cars at all.
It's kinda upsetting seeing all this American Iron that's survived for decades being so carelessly torn apart getting shipped off to China to be made into who knows what. Being in Texas you know a lot of those cars had to be pretty solid. Damn shame...
Is there anything that can be done about crack heads?
@@coffeefish ironically the cars they stole probably got saved, or at least parted out to save others.
I live like 2 from here these were more then likely extremely rusty if they spent any time in the weather
Surface rust on the body MAYBE. Never in the history of history has a frame kept south of Waco even thought about rusting.
It was a scrapyard with cars piled ontop of one another. They diddnt survive they rotted and rusted for decades.
You're so knowledgeable in the years and makes and models on these old vintage cars..
What a disgrace! That man had the insight to save those cars , I can’t imagine how much money there was in parts there .
So much wasted
What a shame, I'm sure the old guy thought he was saving them from the crusher and he did - for a time.
The Treasure & Tragedy. Cool night time shots.
The cars looked like they were being attacked by two Giant Car Killing Machines.
Very sad day for all these classics. 😎👍🇨🇦
Thanks so much for all you do for our hobby .
It was so disheartening to watch this man's life of collecting, be dissolved this way. Thanks for saving us a little bit of recorded preservation of em.🙏👍
I’m not too sure that stealing these cars and saving them from the crusher is such a crack head idea after seeing what happens to the ones that didn’t get stolen.
Probably woulda been better if the crackheads had gotten ALL of them, sold them to collectors on Marketplace, and left the old lady a cashier's check for the "scrap value", lol.
The word crackhead is too funny. I'm pretty sure though that anyone that was stealing those vehicles we're stealing them for scrap metal. Thus getting crushed in the end anyway. I might be wrong though
Thanks for sharing...brings tears to my eyes
Man. I remember chasing two cars for many years. A 62 Impala and a 64 Cadillac convertible. I would ask the guy time and time again. He said he was planning on restoring them. Then one day I drove by and they were gone. Found out the guy passed away and his daughter couldn't wait to get rid of them and had them both scrapped.
It happens a lot. They fall into the wrong hands and no one gives a damn.
@@1940limited Sadly that's all too true.
Young people have different priorities these days...
@@speedbuggy5558 They seem to have no priorities except playing with their smartphones.
@@1940limited Ain't That The Truth!!
@@1940limited i dont, i am 17 and own two classic cars already (switzerland)
Its funny how careful the lift driver's being with the cars just to go smash them lmao! What a shame
I have to admit I skipped some of the crushing part! Thanks for saving what you could, mostly all of the cars were worth saving, they threw away money by crushing these cars.
Tim, thanks for sharing!!! So sad to say all that vintage tin scrapped!!!
Thank You Tim for sharing this experience with us!!! Stay Safe Brother!!!
I hope plenty of people who know this man's wife remind her often that her feeling of gratification for destroying her old man's dream was likely worth well over 150k.
Man this might be the best comment I've seen here!! Hell at a even 1k for any car, would've been easy 100k. But, NOOOOO! Throw it away instead....just don't get it.
She doesn't care, he is long gone? She is old, and thanks to inflation, scrap prices are up?
@@jjtrucker5950 not that high.
Incitement to harassment.
Women think with emotion and not logic. She couldn’t care less.
This is disgusting. Someone took care of those cars for a long time then this bullshit happens. Sick
I sure wouldn’t want that guy taking care of any of my cars they look pretty hit
NOBODY "Took care" of these cars! They were all pretty much left to rot and rust. Those sheds did very little to shelter these cars from the neglect of their owner, who just left them there because, I'm going to fix them up "some day".
What a shame. It seems fewer people care about our history anymore. Love you’re videos, please keep up the excellent work.
Most people don't care they're just trying to survive and get through the day
Thanks for sharing this Tim, and thanks again for everything that Joe and you do for the hobby and to help preserve history.
Oh man, talk about heartbreaking loss of history. What a shame.
This brought a tear to my eye seeing all those classic cars being crushed what a shame. I can picture the people driving these beautiful cars when they where still on the road, so much history lost.
Sad indeed. I appreciate all that you and Joe do to rescue cars that the mainstream won't even slow down to look at. I picked up my stuff in Big Spring the weekend of the auction.
The naysayers... the ones influenced by the psychotic progressives..
Old owner started with nothing , ended with nothing! Hope old guys watch this and say need to sell before this happens !
Its not easy to sell these old things because 99 percent of people dont appreciate, understand the past or old things.
Too many old hoarders will sit on stuff until death, or the nursing home. Then a kid or grand kid will scrap it or have a auction.
I love art. Yards are museums I can walk around in all day, day after day. No matter what the condition of the vehicle. They should not be destroyed.
great content mate i know you would have loved to save a few the 56 chevy was a beaut and the crown vic
You know that feeling when you see a car chopped up and hung on wall in restaurant? I’d rather seen these cars on walls than crushed. Very sad
That 8.2 L emblem on the 70 eldorado that was crushed is worth about 50 bucks. That was a one year only grill emblem.
Mr. Goodpliers....knowledgeable not just with cars, but honey too.
Yes, hoarding is a problem but so is GREED. I have watched many posts where the owners (or benefactors) of large collections have stuff for sale but are asking totally unreasonable prices. They hold out for the top money (which invariably never comes) so the cars just stay, sit and rot.
Most have never done any work or bought the new parts/paint supplies to finish one. Gotta buy stuff cheap or walk away.
I agree with you mostly but.....
Why is it when you try to sell cars from a collection like this for top money it never happens
but when you sell it at a cheaper price, the new owner is able to get mega dollars for the same
car the previous owner couldn't sell???
@@4TheMotorist More connections maybe? I know what you're talking about though.
Not many of them 70 Ford trucks left after the cash for clunkers.
You really know how to make a grown man cry 😭😭 those car's could have been auctioned off
So, does anyone know if the family even made any effort at all to sell these cars? What a shame. They threw away a lot of good stuff, disrepected the old guy who collected them, and left a ton of money on the table.
Heartbreaking most of them could have been saved and the rest for parts if only you had found out about them sooner great video thanks for all your fine work making this film 👍
The red convertible is a Triumph Herald, 1963-ish.
Dad had a hard top version here in U.K. back in mid 60’s the frame, engine gear box and running gear was also used for a car you may be more familiar with was the Triumph spitfire sports car .
This happened to a HUGE yard that we frequented when I was in my late teens and early 20's! The old man knew where everything was. They had trucks with wooden wheels, old milk trucks, every car from every year you could think of. My Brother was looking for a part (convertible top bow) for his 67 Camaro RS/SS and we found one upside down in the mud with 2 other cars stacked on top of it. I had to climb inside and unscrew it! Then one day we found out the old man who owned it passed on, then the township made his Family clean it all up just like they're doing here. It was a sad time to say the least!!!
That happened to me in 1968 when an old guy died who had a big yard full of 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s vintage cars, most intact, nothing newer than 1952. The portable crusher got them all. I used to roam that yard every chance I got as a kid. Nothing ever changed. They just sat there. It was like heaven being in that yard. No one bothered me. No one else was interested. I wish I'd taken pictures. Had a camera. Didn't think of it.
@@1940limited Really Sad to see the end of an era like this. Even alot of the Cruise Nights here have been banned... Imagine the revenue all of those businesses lost!
@@72Z15SS Why are cruise nights banned?
@@1940limited The town we used to cruise shut it down! We would spend Saturday at Maple Grove Raceway, then head over to the cruise night. I believe that the people in that town started complaining that they couldn't find parking when they wanted to shop. There are still car shows going on, but no cruising...
@@72Z15SS I'm sorry this happened to you.
2 words Tim...ABSOLUTELY SICKENING! And I'm an hour or so away from there-
In the 1980s some large Las Vegas junk yards were closed and destroyed many extremely high value classics, 50s and 60 convertibles and muscle cars that in today's prices would be worth a ton of money. Then afterwards the building boom started so a ton of classics cars were wasted.
Hi I'm in NZ, common here, Triumph Herald 1200cc early mid 60s, love your channel keep up the great work, John, Auckland NZ
God bless the old man.. he was doing it right ! saving classic American automotive History while swatting away the naysayers !
Did a real good job of saving them for the crusher 😄
Yeah sure did a good job of saving them, oh yeah except for the fact that they are now destroyed...
WOW, THAT'S sad to see. Good car's and very hard to find parts. This was just so hard to watch. Thanks for sharing this with all of us car lovers.
That's crazy. Just the Buick Riviera was full of very valuable parts !
Wow, really hard to watch. But at least a few were saved!
That is just criminal how can anyone crush those beautiful machines
Surprises me the forklift operator being so careful getting cars out and picked up. Can’t imagine the amount of money the people lost by having them crushed instead of auctioning them off.
I think that forklift is having a little trouble handling the weight of these cars. Not like the tin cans of today.
The price of steel is high enough that the lost no money. Organizing an auction and logistics to move all these would have been way more money than theyre worth. Internet warriors all want them but would never show up with a pocket full of cash and a trailer to take some home.... all talk no action!
What a shame thanks for sharing
Shame to crush them all, why were they not offered for sale?
When all the paperwork is gone it makes it harder. But they should have been parted out at least. Alot of parts that cant be bought just got turned into a Toyota. Why you think they last so long? Because they were made from our best scrap. You cant tell me that steel isnt different.
@@ryurc3033 no doubt. Considering the age of those cars and how long they sat there, the chrome was in pretty good shape too.
Had the old guy auctioned it all off as his health was failing his wife might have been more appreciative. But collectors like this often don’t think of the future.
That front bumper and grill off of that 53 Packard would have brought a small fortune along with the tail lights off of that 57 Buick!
I worked in a chrome shop. The grills ,door handles or whatever could be chromed for 100 point cars we did.great job..💪👍☝️🆒😎
Every one of these cars was brand new and mint at one time.
Great video , sorry they could not all be saved by someone.
Wow, what a crime. This place must have been amazing in it's heyday! The amount of effort that man put into collecting the cars and constructing the shelters to house them is truly impressive. It's unfortunate that the elements still took their toll on everything, but there was a lot of good useable parts there.
Sadly this seems to be the fate of so many peoples passions. Their collections become too big to manage, they age out and can't supervise what happens with it, and eventually everything ends up sold off by relatives or simply scrapped.
That old man is my hero. If I had the money and space I’d do the same thing. Those crackheads could have made a million dollars selling the stainless trim pieces off of all those cars.
I used to dream about doing something like this as a kid when old cars wee all over the place in decent shape and cheap, but I never got to it. I have a 48 Packard sitting in my carport now that I saved from the crusher. It's not going anywhere.
Are the cars with ribbons them being saved? The narrator sure knows his cars. Hats off to him. He hasn't missed one yet. The litlle red car I'm pretty sure was a Sunbeam.
If you are referring to the car at 13:50 -it's a Triumph Herald. Looks like he's not so hot on British cars !
Hello hope all is good . Wow makes me sick to my stomach to see that carnage so many good iron that could been saved but that's life i suppose . Thank you for sharing those moments even sad as they could be , i really enjoy your videos . Take care
Never thought I could love and hate a video this much. God bless brother
Didn’t we see this way back few year’s ago or more when it was still full of the cars , I remember these things thanks BigAl California
I see a 58 Buick Super among the cars in your epilogue. I have one like it. I'm sure there were some useful parts there. These people should have held an auction like Lambrecht Chevrolet did in Nebraska a few years ago. They're all in rough shape, but people would have bought them either for rod projects or parts, maybe even restoration. My motto these days is don't crush anything. In the early 70s a guy I knew crushed 800 40s and 50s vintage cars, some of which were still driveable; much better than these cars. But back then they were just old junk. He got 20 grand for them plus whatever he got for the batteries and radiators. A lot of money at the time. Even then I felt it was a shame to do it.
That's the most depressing day i have had for years watching all of the old iron going to scrap what a waste. To bad someone didn"t find it sooner
Same thing with old houses. These communities are big and have such talent among its members, that if we were to get ahold whom ever owns the collection and convince them of the cause to restore and make road worthy again. We can save history from being destroyed and preserve this stuff for future generations to get educated and appreciate.....
You really know your old vehicle history. Amazing!
Wow a 56 Chev hardtop 210 series, LHD there were only 20K built super rare. I had 1 in Zimbabwe, sold it when I left. It had come out of the Congo in 1960.
I hope all the Hoarders out there watch this video with their families and say this is not what I want to happen to my collection this is a shame something was not done right here I had to turn the video off this makes me sick
Those chameleons will do the exact opposite of what you want when you die, unfortunately
Unbelievable how coldhearted people can be.................
I attended a big old vehicle auction in suburban Chicago back in 2011. It was a very similiar situation except the old guy died (86) and his wife sold his 100 plus (1920s-1950s) cars for just under $3M. I got one of the cars, a 31 Ford Sport Coupe. What happened in Texas was a shame.
Wow!
Just imagine all the collectible and possibly rare date and mint mark silver or even gold coins that would have been underneath the back seats. Not to mention all kinds of other old collectible antique type stuff. Jewelry, Kids toys, books, who knows? And what about in the trunk? Might even be some missing people.
I always think about all of the coins and stuff that is in those old cars. I metal detect and have collected coins my whole life.
That artillery wheel on the 65 GMC pickup is off a pre-war Chevy, around 1935. Bolt pattern was the same - 6 lug, 16".
If I worked for that guy, he would have to fire me.
I would tell him I just can't do it.
A whole Philippino city could of been made out of all that corrugated sheet metal, such a waste.
Whoever owns this collection now obviously is not a car guy or person. Should have had an auction.
The more I watch of this video...the more I realize this operator seems like a hired hand with a rental unit. But....he was careful and respectful to the cars.
That one red british car I think is a Triumph Herald. Its a shame because most of those cars are very decent with excellent patina
The little reddish convertible at 13:57 - -with a 7 on it- -that you thought might be a mercedes is actually a Triumph Herald. My best friend in High school in the mid 60's had one. Fun little car.
Tim! That 63 pontiac convertible is a rare bird
Hopefully that 56 Lincoln has ur name on it
I agree 100% w you on the flattened pile 59 olds, 67 impala! Brings a tear 2 my eye
The convertible and the Lincoln were both saved by a local collector and may have already been resold since
Not sure why he messes around so long with the surrounding structure. Hook a freaking chain to it and pull it out!
It's amazing how rough they look even with a roof over them some look like they have been sitting in a field for 50 years
The sheds didn't afford much protection, plus dirt floors. All these cars would certainly have found buyers for more than scrap value.
At 13:59 , that would be a Triumph Herald. A British car. This makes me sick. Almost physically sick, that these are getting crushed. Some has spray paint on them with an S on it. Possibly Save ? Thank you so much for filming this, I mean it. If you wouldn't have taken the time to do it, we never would have known. Did the owner pass away ? Usually most people wouldn't just crush. They'd try to sell . You'd think. After this is over , I'm gonna have a good cry . Thanks again.
Tragic. Thank you for saving what you could.
