So many wonderful machines and history lost to the crusher.
Very sad...
And recycled into Asian junk that shouldn't be here
Classics should make a comeback. They’re pretty special cars. I love it when old cars get saved from scrap and get restored
Same here!
lack of skill, lack of will, lack of $$$, and lack of value/respect to pay the $$$.
He must be a good guy ... It's so sad nobody is interested in keeping those old businesses running.
He is! Yes, it's sad
It's a sad day, not many people like to repair their car's, they would sooner buy,a new one because it's too expensive to get repaired, some nice rigs, going to scrap, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Hey Thanks! You are right
looks like the yard was picked over pretty good,so looks like all the good stuff was gone before this!!thats always good to see.
The owner tried hard to get everything he had out to the people
Great video! Thanks for the shout out Jason! Hope to see everyone there! Have some old timers coming with speed parts that have been tucked away for a LONG time! Should be awesome!
Awesome! It will be a blast, hard work but still fun...lol!
Three major factors: 1)Land value. 2 ) EPA laws and codes. 3) When was the last time a part was actually purchased from some of these cars? Extremely tough to watch as I factor in Chuck doing this 50 years.
You are 💯!
We were a super power. Now we are a super dependent country.
What a shame to see it all gone.
I completely agree...
Sometimes the land becomes so valuable. It doesn’t matter what’s on the property it has to go for progress. It sucks !
True...
What do you call progress?
This is hardly what I call progress
Hey Jason, toast a cold one to Packard . They're taking the plant down today. Packard was a great place to work and a great product.
🍻
Excellent video thanks for sharing, Love the crushing videos.
Welcome! Thanks for watching
Hi there! Where have you been? Glad to see you posting! Looking forward to future content from you.
Hey Thanks! Life got me busy but new videos soon!
I went right before they closed thanks to seeing your videos. I managed to save a couple older tailgates, door panels, and find a bumper for my truck. It was a bummer that they were closing but neat seeing everything before it got crushed.
Awesome! Hey Thanks! The yard in Winston is closing and having a liquidation sale like next week I think

The problem with these junkyards is alot of owners think they have a goldmine in parts and cars but in reality these cars are so far gone and stripped they aren't worth the $$$$$ that the owners think they are worth they've sat on em for too long
For Chuck thus was a great business but recent years brought less business so he decided to retire. For months he sold everything below scrap prices and even giving stuff away...until the end. Was sad to see it happen 😔
I have found that not cars but pickup trucks front clips are demand.
All the good stuff was sold weeks leading up to this closing
Yes, like Silas does
Thanks for another , Brother !
Thank You!
enjoy your channell . good luck with the games . we are looking forward to all the games . we wish you great health and a safe year we are in south east ontario canada
Mannnnnnnn Jason, that was hard to watch, seeing some of that old early iron crushed.......Seeing that ole '60 Merc getting it about killed me :(
I totally understand Mike. I hated seeing this happen. I been going to this place since I was a kid. History is gone now....
I have the steering wheel off that nash and the packards growin roots by my shop 😂
Such a bitter sweet video! Makes a car guy ( or gal) cry.
I agree...
Thanks for watching
How sad to see old cars get crushed.
It is... 😔
And meanwhile, I can't find anything to restore but trucks, Hondas, and Beetles
Hey I need that heater motor old ford ... oh nooooo... crushed!!😂
Was there really no chance to rescue the Edsel, min. 14 30 ca....??
They are so rare,...
We tried to sell it for months. Alot of stuff was saved but unfortunately some things didn't...
So sad some cars still had potential.It's like watching many funerals. another historical great place swallowed up by time. Greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍 🦘🐨🪃🪦
So true, hey cheers! Thanks for watching
We are being watched feel it. Yes there observing. Gloating over there power.
Another good vid Jason. It's always a shame to see a boneyard cleared. Especially one with so much vintage stuff. Most of that stuff was moredoor body styles anyway. The rest were just shells that would cost more to save then they're worth. Peace Brother ! 🍺🤛😎👍
Hey Thanks Man! You're probably right. I will miss that place though
@@CountryBoyGasGarage Jason if you want crushing check out Silas at adventures made from scratch. He's another good guy runnin' a couple fledgling sites. Peace Man ! 😎👍
Crazy these old classic junkyards are closing up when these classic cars are becoming popular again
Right! That's what I told the owner but he didn't see it , because he didn't have any online activity or anything. He was old fashion with communication...
Is this the one in Springfield Oregon that closed
Yes, it was. I have a few other videos of here also.
Okay the white 2 door 65 -ish Ford Fairlane or Galaxy at 19:00 sucked seeing crushed. also the Ranchero at 31:00 as well as the white Opel GT 39:53. Thankfully I didn't have to witness any Mopar's crushed as I'm a big Mopar guy.
If you like the yard so much, you could have bought Him out
If I had the money I would have.
I've seen several yards shut down close to me here in okla. I've tried buying whole vehicles, parts, etc and usually fail. The thing that gets under my skin is, I can ask what they are wanting for something, they tell me some sky high price, but then turn around and crush it for a tenth of what they tried to sell it for. I've got told $2000 for a shell, then the crusher gives them $50. People(salvage yards) don't want to save these cars, they just don't care no matter what they claim.
Like I've said, I've tried several times and it's always the same. I've gotten sick of trying to save classics. It is stressful, time consuming, and hard on the family. I'm not trying to get cars for free, but when you crush it for pennies on the dollar, it makes no sense to me. Metal prices go up and down constantly. The most I've ever received at a crusher is $650 and that's with a vehicle that was complete with cats and drivetrain. Right now, today's prices are around $125. So if a salvage yard wants top dollar for something that requires much more to restore, it just doesn't make sense.
There's still a yard around the corner from me that has several vehicles sitting after the crusher got done. Supposedly they sold the cars but the buyers never picked them up. I've asked the guy several times to buy one. He told me a number and I said really? He claimed he needed the money to give back to the other buyers plus put some in his pocket. I'm sorry but if someone doesn't pick up a vehicle after they bought it 3 years ago, it's fair game. I'll take it off your hands today for "x" amount. Still I get told no.
Yo ! I saw the crusher @ B& R in CG yesterday !
Damn crusher! At it again!
Hey take care Becky! ✌🏻
It made me sick I had to quiet watching sorry Jason we have no control to what happens to this stuff.
I completely understand Tony...
Why did I not see this before, wow, I’m looking for a 1955 Chevy 2or4 door roller car, lol I hope there are some I hope, grace Jesus, thanks for the inexpensive 55 Chevys,,, thanks BigAl California..
Hey I'll keep my eyes open for one Big Al! Thanks for watching!
You know I would do a challenge to hold & push the press up while trying to go down. I push as hard as I can till the press gives up.
Lol...that would be fun!
Government squeezing the American dream to death
Truth..
Sad just dam sad so many nice ones
There were tons more he was selling super cheap for months before this...
@@CountryBoyGasGarage never hard of the place I didn't watch the hole thing about 3/4 of it tho
@@billkerr1704 th-cam.com/video/V7fqYHme_FA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8CF_agsDCOEZ41su
Let’s be real though, most if not all of those were stripped clean
Yeah, they were
If not for the crusher a lot of these cars would still be here for another 72 years…
Maybe...
Dude, i cant watch it. I have worked my entire life dreaming of the day i could afford a rebuild something. Now im struck down right when it was time. Kids are raised and im broken. Stop crushing the cars im still trying to get money together.
I do not perpetuate the crushing by supporting the videos on other sites either. Sorry venting here
I completely understand...
Sad man ! In my area about ALL these places are gone since they put in a New shredder about 10 years ago ! When that Moneies gone what u got ? Nothing !
Key Motors in Estacada is the closest thing we have like up here that i know of. No where near the size this place was
They all seem to be closing around here...
I gotta tell u. Most all these cars were definitely ripe for the crusher!!
Damn Shane
It is....
I feel sick
Same...
thats should have done long ago, junkyard must be effective and profitable no matter regulations. Look at Europe you will not gona find open cars like this or car junkyards in forest. Big junkyards will buy cars non stop and will sell online, car ussually is stripped fully, and parts loaded in storage already packed. Now in usa such bussiness is done like this you buy cars non stop go to auctions and buy for cheap, buy from people and you sell parts or whole car, you do not crush cars untill price reach sky high than you start crush time,than price drops you stop and live from parts selling or selling cars, even simple tyres are worth money if you have brain how to sell for cheap.rims maybe not, but tyres are all to spec. Every car tyre has tread even old cars tyres can be sold you only need diameter and tyre which not damaged badly. Selling in pairs is great deal. Catalic converters, battery. wires as copper if you start scrapping.
There is no closed caption on video for the deaf. Why?😢
Oh I'm sorry, I'm not sure why for this one.
Ok i wasn't able understand what you were talking about the junkyard. Big disappointment for me. I rooting you for found abandoned yellow bus and run again in your another video.
Gone forever. As Governments waiting for the older generation to disappear, reminds me of an extinction happening before our eyes. God Bless those old timers that were the best hoarders this world has ever seen. "Curators" of an outdoor museum.
What is a crushed car worth?
Not sure, probably $200 or $300 just guessing
Oh man, it's a shame who this loader man, every time he puts a car in the crusher he let slips his forks to much, just because he let the chains too loose.... the forks fall too much down because of it and can cause severe damage
NO NO NO NO NO ..... WAAAA im crying real ... this is so fucked up.
I completely agree.... it was very sad
Did someone save the 20s cars and trucks that were left? Sure wish I could have made a trip out there, but thats how it goes. What gets me is people complain about yards like this and then when they are gone, you have what, an empty field to look at.
Yes Oliver saved all the early stuff! Check out his channel!

Oh no not another Walmart going in
I hope not, but I think it's going to be a storage lot...ugh!
I can’t watch, it’s too disturbing. So sad
I completely understand...
Hard to watch the crusher.
I know...
'63 Buick Riviera... 😢
They should put them on a trucks an take them to another car wreckers very sad to see so many beautiful old cars gone ? Maybe the land is worth lots of money now 72 years is a longtime
They were offered up to the other wrecking yards but they still had all these still left at the end
Ok no worries i couldn't watch it the crushing of the car's ? It was very sad for me 😭 maybe lots very striped of lots of part's so very hard to put them back together ? But the other wrecking yards in America should of got lots of them maybe have many of the same model's so alot easier to put these classic back together ? Very ashame about that lots of classic history gone
Thousands of $$$ in parts getting crushed because of that stupid operator
Alot of it was the new codes and safety standards
What State was this taken place at
Oregon

@@CountryBoyGasGarage Oregon!? Huge loss!
@@kevinmanning4880 I agree
@@CountryBoyGasGarage thank you from my heart for filming this for us.
That's stupid to crush those cars
Agreed...
What a shame.
I agree...
I can't believe these cars are getting crush some of Are really good builders cars this is not right 😢
I agree...
This is so sad to watch they should have tried selling them off to other yards
It is sad... They did offer them and most wrecking yards got something and sold alot to the public for cheap but still had alot left...
Why are you guys wanting to destroy the car hoppy
Nobody wants to. The owner was retiring and sold everything he could for cheap but after months of selling he finally closed and the crusher took the rest...very sad
Love to support your videos but I could'nt even watch this.
I completely understand.... 😔

to bad you didnt post the video a year ago when you made it and before they closed and crushed the stuff,more people would have seen it and more stuff could have been sold!js
I did several videos months leading up to the closing, which brought people from all over. He sold tons of stuff before he finally closed. Please check out these videos. Thanks!

I'm seeing alot of almost rust free classics such a waste
I agree...
💔💔💔💔
Agreed... 😢
Every time these places disappear the more these cars and parts become worth more money, since the plandemic classic cars nearly doubled in price! by 2032, my 1972 Buick Skylark that is worth 15k right now, it will be worth 40k by 2032 ill bet.
Truth! 💯
Nothing much really intresting to keep, so no problem.... costs to restore versus real value...
I stopped watching at one minute, 41 seconds, I couldn't watch the cars get crushed!
I completely understand....
How bout this video of before they closed

Better, thank you!
oh man i watched up till the blue sedan went in the crasher,and stopped watching.
I totally understand...
Sorry but this is so Horrible! I could Not watch anymore after the 1973 Chev Monte Carlo was crushed! 😵💫🤬😳🤯
I completely understand... 😔
Bye bye America.
No... 😔
WHY WHY WHY!!!! Auction them.
He spent months selling below scrap prices and even giving stuff away but this is what was still left...
@@CountryBoyGasGarage Thanks for making this video. What a shame nobody grabbed that 53 Nash Airflyte 2dr HT at 3:19. There were a couple rare early 60s Nissan Patrol jeeps too. I would have loved to rescue that 57 Ford Ranch wagon shell at 28:30 and used it as lawn art. Scrap metal is only like 70 cents per pound or $214/ton. Not much money for priceless antiques when you think about it.
Wow knew low once again no new content!
Haha...it was kinda new...lol. Life has gotten the best of me but I swear that new videos are coming!
