Hey Mr. Goodpliers to bad to see a lot of good things go. Keep saving what you can. Ray.
You and Joe sure did make a noble attempt to save what you could.
Happy new year and looking forward to more great videos in 2024.
A big thumbs up for Texas Dean!👍
Distressing scenes at the crusher! You did a great job of salvaging what you could!
Thank you for saving what you could, still a Tear in my eye !
I'm glad you're there to do what you're doing because I can't be there myself! I hate to see an old yard go to the crusher.
Happy New Year.
To you and joe. Look forward to seeing your videos next year
The '73 Laguna getting crushed was rough. The nose alone was worth $$$
Yes, I agree...as much as I hate the tacky fad of sawed off nose/rear end of vehicles as "wall art", at least if someone had taken the front of that Laguna as "wall art", someone could have bought it at a later date and put it back on a car that needed it....
Same old comments but no one putting their money where their mouth is .
Very true...but I think part of the problem, is this stuff is located too far away from most of the people who might actually want or need it...most people don't have the money, the time, or the means to travel thousands of miles to search for and retrieve cars or parts that they could afford to purchase is the logistics were better...that is kind of the situation for me, I need a bed, really a cab, maybe a parts truck for my 1970 C/20 I have owned and driven for over 25 years...there are none here, but plenty of them still out there for cheap(but not for long at the rate this stuff is getting crushed), but I don't have the time, means, or money to go out there and search for one..I notice in these videos nobody out there gives these trucks a second glance or mention, whereas they are gold here back east..I suspect this stuff has been so plentiful out west for so long everybody sees it as common stuff...well, I also suspect one day they will wake up and say, "oh shit, it's all gone!", like we did 30-35 years ago...@@jjMcCartan9686
As Silas says, we can’t save them all. Tim and Joe did a yeoman’s job saving what they did
I didn’t like seeing the square bodies being crushed but… it makes mine more valuable
🗿💨 Soo many cars there that was a part of my 80s and 90s, love them 78-82 caddys. Thanks for sharing 👍👍
That topper at 12:56 is great! Mark my words, that's the next trend in old trucks. Great video, good on you guys for saving what you can.
It hurts to watch that crushers at work. But it looks like most of those car and trucks have been pretty well picked over anyway. Thanks Timmy for another interesting video. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🎉
Awesome video thank you
Good job saving all the parts that you did. I know its\'s a labor of love.
The crushing part was sick to watch. Glad you could save what you could. Loved the Cold War Motors references! 71 -72 Buick Skylark taillight lenses are apparently hard to get, so perhaps grab unique and unusual plastic lenses, trim bits and even glass if can for anything obscure. The front plastic clip of the 73 Laguna would have been a good grab. Derby guys probably hated seeing the 71-76 full size GM cars getting smashed!
Love your work and dedication!
Texas Dean. SAVE THOSE MID-SEVENTY, FULL SIZE LTD’S. Some day they will be worth a fortune!
Im' 'rooting' for the crusher for them.
It makes me sadder to see stuff like those old Kaisers and Studebakers go...survived so many decades after their parent companies went under, so unique, now only to get crushed all these years later....
Glad you were able to save some parts! The rest will be made into something one day!
Saving as many as you can. Well done.
I'm not a connoisseur of car noses for wall art, but I think that Grand Marquis would have made an excellent one. It has the artistic look that it has just plowed through whatever wall it's hung on. Food for thought.
That 69 Catalina in the beginning would have been an awesome piece for the wall too.
@@SpectrumRobthat was a pretty slick Pontiac looked rather solid, shame
I hate seeing old cars with good spare parts getting crushed.Thank God you boys are alive.Great work....Have a happy & safe New year. Greetings from sth Australia 🇦🇺 👍 🪃🦘🐪🍻
that was great Mr. Goodpliers, I really enjoyed it 👍
Thanks for stopping by the channel Rich!
Ugh, I Love Newports, Big ole boat that glides when it rides, yet. The Laguna was the saver. Just not many of them Ty for taking us along & saving what you could
This stuff is disappearing fast thanx for saving what u can mr pliers cheers 🥂 😊
Maybe you should have titled it: Car Crushing 101!😂
Look at all those T-3 sealed beams in the crushed stacks!
The grill on that yellow 76-77 Chevy Vega Notchback looked to be in pretty good shape and they are really rare sure wish you could save some parts off the H-body cars Vegas Monza's ect and sell them online as they are getting very hard to find anymore as I know building one Vega hatchback and now working on a second one early year Vega fenders in good shape are very hard to find glad you are keeping what classic car parts you are able to grab
Unfortunately we can't save them all. Sad to see them go, but hey, the next time you open up a soup, can, tuna can, or a vegetable can maybe, just maybe you'll find yourself gazing into an old American automobile.
I love in the parting shots, the green Ford Maverick "going green" with the tree growing up through the center of the rear bumper 😂
And one day, the old American automobile (or old European, old Japanese automobile) is gonna end up being reincarnated into being part of a video game, Just think about games such as Forza and Gran Turismo and probably some other like GTA and of course, seeing vehicles that were crushed here into any kind of video game as that they were reincarnated as a 3D model.
Ya know, I love old cars . I'm nostalgic and lots of those 60's and 70's cars I remember on the roads back in the day. Luckily, most of what was left in that yard were not desirable or were not worth saving. Its kind of satisfying to see them get crushed and recycled vs. rusting to nothing in that field.
A real race against time,thumbs up great adventure wish I was therethat Pontiac bumper onthat old 4 door would be great wall art piece
That 1968 Catalina could be the one which they saved some of the windows.
@@ernielaw Yep that was probobly it, I know they could not save everything
Funny how many of the crushed cars still have good bumpers on them, unaffected by the crushing.
Good to see at least some of the oldsters with 'SOLD' scrawled on them! Still a shame to see so many crushed.
Did you get decent prices on what you saved? 22:07 Oh hey, more Wagons for PBG/Dalton to road-trip in! XD
Good to see the chevy II waygon get saved !!
Glad there was no Volkswagens harmed in this video
Several Type 3 station wagons and fastbacks will be flat before the crusher packs up and leaves
Hey there: Mr. Goodpliers and Joe star in: 'Requiem for a Salvage Yard', minus the funeral dirge.
Sad so sad but cool video thanks for sharing. I'm surprised you didn't get any plates for the flea market and when we gonna get any flea videos.
Seen a Cutlass already crushed front bumper looks great.
They crush the Tartarian cars, exactly like the historical buildings !!
There are about 4 or 5 TH-camrs that I know of, probably many more, who does this type of content, or similar, and they are always constantly putting out content of old yards being cleaned up/crushed, auctions, etc.., in the Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Dakotas, etc...well, these areas seem to be about the only areas of the country where there are still old cars sitting around in volumes like this...and my point is, it has to be finite, even there...at the rate these cleanup/crushing/auctions type videos are being uploaded, there can't possibly be that many places like this left, even in these stronghold/last stand areas. Here back east, this stuff is long gone, just a few vehicles left here and there that a few hoarders still have, and as they die off, much of it gets scrapped. We have to be getting pretty close to the end of any 1930's-1990's sources for old car projects and useable used parts....
Ditto! Couldn't have said it any better! Northeastern U.S. has been depleted of ALL the old yards that existed in my youth (I'm 65) I just can't watch the old hulks getting crushed! Brings a tear to my eyes......
As a lover of '67-'72 Chevy trucks(which are, and long have been, very popular around here), I can't believe how many of these video content creators, and salvagers, seem to walk right on by restorable 67-72 trucks, useable cabs, good cabs, lots of parts, like they are nothing...and look at stuff like old Toyotas and mid-70's Malibus, Vegas, etc. instead...I just shake my head..saw some of these trucks in this video...these parts, and parts trucks, are unobtanium here, and stuff like a roached out old cab or beds, they want a war pension for here..IF you can even find one...demand far outstrips supply. The last I saw one of these trucks in a junkyard around here was in the early-mid 1990's..and there weren't many then. I wish I had the means, I would go out there and haul back as many trucks, cabs, beds, parts of these trucks as I could find...bring them back here and sell them to people who actually want them and appreciate them...@@lostrailbeds8289
That Texas car crusher will crush your driver vehicle brand new ,,,if you don’t watch that guy, thanks BigAl California
as the owner of a 73 chevy chevelle, I wanted to cry watching that Laguna get crushed....the grills are so valuable....*sighs*
That was the best video I have seen in months. Love seeing the cars get crushed, hope you can get more videos like this.
Wow, whoever was in that Citation when it wrecked had to have been seriously injured or killed..... the A pillar was smashed almost to the B pillar, and the steering wheel pushed forward like it was, makes me think that.
There is very little survivable space in that car. My guess is two cars hit head on at full speed to twist & move the steel structure of the body the amount that it did. If you look close there are cuts from the Jaws on the pillars.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 I saw that.... I couldn't help but to hit pause on that Citation a few times.
I must be old.... I remember them when they were new cars. I also remember doing brakes on them all the time. Their brakes were a poor design, like the rest of the car. I hated the GM X body cars back in the day and never thought the day would come that I would look at one and admire it. I guess I am admiring it, due to it surviving this long! There are lots of other cars that fit into that category also, like the Granada, Pacer, Chevette, Omni/Horizon, Escort and a few other lack luster designs that rolled out of Detroit.
As always, I enjoyed your video.
God left the word (save ol classic cars ) OUT OF HIS BRAIN , oh wait he never had a vintage car BRAIN 🧠 thanks buddy praise Jesus Christ grace amen for you , and Joe,
Bumpers and A puller moldings 78 -87 Malibu el Camino grand Prix Cutlass and regal.
I think that goodpliers guy is the guy froom scooby doo. It looks like him.
Sad to see so much old iron being crushed. When one yard in western Williamson County was closed about 2 decades ago, some of their Mopar inventory was bought by Mr. Mopar in Niederwald. (That business was also eventually bought, and moved to Kyle.) I'd rather see something similar happen with the vehicles in this yard.
Those car look like they were caught in giant spider webs; no wonder that guys dislikes arachnids.
Pretty hard to see this, hello from Germany...
All the free parts you can 'loot' before the 'Crusher'* that would be a cool game to play if only in a dream world.
Great job on the video. SAD 2
Mid-70s Camaro at 3:08 probably got crushed too....
I have zero care about plastic cars in the crusher but its sad to see classic get crushed. Many of them still had good parts or were good restoration projects.
Hay I’ll buy all of the licenses plates that you let go onthe bundals of cars lol , oh to late texas car crusher dude with out a Brain crushed them lol thanks BigAl California
Show me a car built today- 2023- that will STILL be around in 40...50...60...70...or more years, go ahead! We'll wait!....That's correct- YOU CAN'T!! Such a shame these old iron relics are meeting an untimely death by crusher.
Those new KIAs then start to break down after a while and then completely get disposed of just in that scenario.
And then Toyota Jan's new tundras and priuses alongside with some camrys start to malfunction and breakdown for no reason, For some reason, Toyota Jan had ruined Toyota and made most of the JDM guys who were interested in the AE86 and Supra (the old one) a bit pissed..
Those new Subarus ain't gonna be remembered just like how a Subaru was a part of rallying.
Those are the basics that most new vehicles nowadays ain't gonna be remembered most of the times by fans of said manufacturers, Shame that old relics have to go and be replaced with new crappy ones that no one will remember.
Yes this cool Peace out
Shame to see that 60’s Econoline get crushed, 😞. Happy New Year 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Thanks!
Are you trying to kill me? When I saw this 68 Pontiac with so many good parts being destroyed I was feeling a physical pain.
You might have guessed, I am a Pontiac guy. The 68 is a bit to new for my taste. But it is still terrible.
I see a lot of good parts getting crushed !
How many 68 impals did you get to save. Is that supernatural style 4 doors front caps rear trim . I hate to see old stuff go.
That's a nice definition for a greasy flip "sat too long and is rusted past the reasonable point of restoration" Dean couldn't have said it better. Who know's a new episode of the often imitated but unequaled original may appear on this saterday's episode of ColdWarMotors. Let's see!
Nice one
the corvair has the factory gas powered heater up front!
The Oldsmobile Dealers badge you took off.How much please incuding Freight to 8051 Christchurch,New Zealand.Thankyou.Enjoy your items to view.
Those that are meeting the crusher now make those that survived worth more. You just can't save 'em all.
The crusher took every car in The Dakotas now they're making it to the southern hemispherical heads
It is breaking my heart to see all those cars getting crushed. Once that happpens all the good usable parts are gone forever.
I was witnessing those things in a junkyard of a friend who was forced by the govermnent to empty his entire yard with cars that were mainly vehicles built before 65.
He made a fortune auctionning of hundreds of cars. And the bidding went so crazy I did not even raise my hand once.
But the problem were the unsold ones. Tons of extremely rare parts got destroyed.
Because you didn't bid lol but then complain about parts being crushed 😂
500 cars were sold. I even saved a front of a car that I restored a bit to put it in my yard. Surely I I should have put them all in my garden!
There were 200 unsold cars but the guys wanted 250$ per wreck for lifting it out of the yard. And most of those cars were in swampy soiI for Fourty yeare or more.
I went and helped for a week saving as much as I could. The only reward was a back that got so hurt that I could not walk for a month. So I did nothing but complain? Yeah!
What happened the guy pass away and the kids sell the property. So sad to watch. Thanks for the video..
12:17..Wow!...who on earth would want to keep an early '90's Taurus, rather than some of this other stuff??😳
The cars of my youth well many not all seeing get crushed is a little sad. I dont think 50 or so years from now the cars of today will be around like these have lasted. There be very little to no interest like past generations had to restore the cars of today 50 years from now. So I guess its an end of an era........... steel was 10cts/lb by me a month ago so theres a lot of money to be made even at that price here....
damn too bad that was not near houston.i could ive tried get few peices.
It's near Taylor Texas. That would be a lot closer drive for you than it was for us. There's still about half of the vehicles there - they will start crushing again maybe around the first of March
should not be crushing anything Pontiac, its all valuable as GOLD.
I very much like your videos but one things sure, you and I would never fight over the same car at an auction. Shortbed Ford was a great find.
Depressing to see relatively rust free cars being crushed. Ten year old cars around here are in worse shape than most of the crushed ones
That poor 74 monaco
That yard is probably one of the better places to get decent parts but whole cars not so much. If there were more time you probably could've made another full haul. The problem always is either not enough time or not enough cash, at least for me.
I'm contemplating a third trip down there
so sad to see that 73 blue pontiac lemans parked then picked up and crushed and stacked...such a rare car......but, that's how it goes.
I was wondering did that Dodge van the baby blue one have seats in it I understand people who clone hemi dart use those seeds because the factory use them they were lightweight compared to the regular Dart seat ! I hope that 55 olds to door that was missing a door was not crushed it was close to y’all where you were loading previously in the other video !
Hey, I'm looking for a 1977 Vega that's a total piece of junk, but has a clean title. I saw one it your video. If you come across one, give me a hollar. 😊
All them chrome bumpers 😢😢😢 bye bye lagoona
ready to put on skate board heading to electric arc furnace
So sad to see.For wich reason the yard was closed?
The old man died
Hate to see those old cars crushed they are all about gone All the good cars are almost gone now
What is happening to what is left of the old unrestored cars and trucks now, is similar to what was happening to all our military aircraft at the end of WW2...mass scrapping....
I hate to see that too, That's I wish most of them would come back in a game or something else like that..
That 2 door Newport which you decided to save would be a 1971 judging from the grill.
He should remove the trunk lid and install a jacuzzi.
That was a nice save being a 2 door. Many parts from 69-71 are shared, so plenty of demand.
Do the old cars get turned in to Chinese rebar? St.Paul,Minnesota.
East tx here help me guys
I hate seeing old cars for those year of cars, what a shame
a 1972 Grand Marquis...thats a waste...why not just collect Vega parts too...jeeze
Is it just me noticing huge push cleaning up of all these old classic junkyards in last 3-3 1/2 years I believe it’s the push from the clean energy money, keeping these old cars from being restored and driven on the roads today while the United States is watching all United States and foreign manufacturing halting the vehicle production because no one is buying them and they will put all these cars in a huge abandoned area to rot away instead of recycling them and the batteries hazardous material
It's been going on for as long as I remember, I'm 65. Thanks to Mr. Goodpliers, and others, you get to see it happening. That's the only difference.
Save the vega😢
12:34 Why didn’t you grab the 65 yellow Mustang?
Do they get more for scrap than they would if they auctioned off these valuable parts cars?
Prices for scrap go up and down. That's why you get guys like "adventures made from scratch" crushing so many decent cars He dumps them when scrap prices go up.
Those poor critters, their long time homes squashed.
A few homeless rats
@@mr.goodpliers6988 and snakes
It should be illegal to scrap them 😢
I hate scrappers they don't understand nostalgia and don't care it's just $$$ signs to them
Yea because you didnt bid 😂😂
😢😢😢😢this is horrible!" Why isnt the cars guys out saving more of them. Good work getting what ya can but dang!!"
This is too painful to watch!
So sad😢
You really have to be pretty stupid to destroy these cars this way
