- In this video, we get lucky enough to catch the owner of an old closed down junkyard outside, and get his permission to walk the property and see what is all sitting out there. Check out what seems like endless hills of old, mostly American made iron by the hundreds!
If you're into clapped out Toyotas and trucks, this vid's for you. Passed right by tons of cool old Chevies.
Great video...As the founder of the 1966 Ford Full-Size Registry, I saw a few 1966 Galaxies and the '66 Country Squire. Not sure if you'll ever return to the place but if you do and with permission of the owner, photos of those car's drivers door dataplates would be a great addition to the registry database. Thank you.
The Galaxies were seen at the following time marks.

You pretty much said it, it's a parts yard there's not much of anything there to worry about being scrapped, if you want to save anything I'd take the ford station wagons, the 60s impalas, and just the good parts off the other cars, the chevy wagons came with 12 bolt rearends and big blocks sometimes, also the chevy vans in the 70s had high Nickle engine blocks, you might look over the fords for Cleveland and Windsor engines and 9 inch rearends.👍
Yeah, it's a shame that they have all gotten to that point... Thanks for watching!
I know exactly where that place is! I would love to walk around and take pictures of the distressed Detroit iron.
Your call on the Toronado was bang on - it's either a '68 or '69. The front bumper was interchangeable on them, as was the rear. I've owned around 7 or 8 of those beast's over the years. Fun fact - they were the first SUCCESSFUL North American front wheel drive vehicle beginning in '66. Also that Celica may have had an 18-RC in it, at least that's what my '72 had.
I have 22R and 22 r e engines. Toyota Celicas GT Tercel Camrys and that one with a hemi 4-cylinder from the factory. They only imported them for a year and a half. To me it's always look like a datsun. Oh yeah I got dots in as well. Interested ?? Several Coronas. Recently sold the child of Land cruiser complete I'm molested as it's been since 1977 and it was a 1971 if😊 remember correctly fair market value.
Thanks for sharing something different. Lots of cool old stuff out there. Kinda like going on an adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it! We try to make videos on things we think people will appreciate. Thanks for watching!
Pretty cool to see the oldies. I'm sure the owner will get around to restoring them someday😊
Yeah, I'm sure he will. It wouldn't take too long. Thanks man!!
Yes, that was a Toronado.
At 9:16; I believe that's the tail of a Corvair van (bronze)?
Alas, no Corvairs (bronze van?) ;-D
18.22 that blue car no idea you said it's a GTO or Le mans 66 or 67! $$
Time to call a crusher
13:36 '60 Ford wagon! Looks like it possibly had wood grain on it. Then it would be a Country Squire!
WoW
Quite interesting all of those Vehicles still exist and like you guys said for how long so cool I could spend all day out there
Yeah, I wish I could go back and explore some more already. It was such a treat to be out there looking around those old relics. Thanks for watching!!
Awesome yard hope they can be saved. I saw 3 cars I want an some parts.
18:01 '68 Chevrolets
27:10 this Ford cab would make a cool & unique custom car hauler.
Great place to hang out with a 12 pack for the day.
Totally! I think I could spend a half hour digging around in each car. Thanks for watching!
Any chance I could get some parts from the Ford Fairmont Futura seen at 12:54 ? Where is this located?
What year, make, & model is this van please?
I need too research online specs.
I see sheet metal I can possibly sorce elsewhere for a car mod.
14:44 That Karmin Ghia is becoming one with the earth!
Totally! I think that was the worst rusted piece in that whole lot.
Just out of curiosity what state is this in?
hi where is that yard at i seen a 62 full size chevy cov i could use parts from get back to me
Tonnage of glass and plastic bits to save, the 1973 - 1978 Ford windshields are apparently impossible to find, so imagine all of the wagon glass and wraparound windshields and rear glass that is irreplaceable ! Didn't see any whole cars or trucks that could be saved, they all looked too rotted.
The glass fell victim to the ERA 80's you had 4 channels on TV , so Demo derby was practically nightly with 70s boats wagons especially and the monster truck was born n crushed 100,000 of thousands of 70s cars before they started back flipping n steel got expensive so scrap price went through the roof and lots of subdivisions needed junkyard land to build suburbia during the awesome Reaganomics years before the bottom fell out of the junk bond and Ollie North got busted trading blow for bang
Yes. What. Treat. To. See. Love. Them All. Ford. Plymouth. Mercury. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
1957 Borgward. Goliath
the 57 mercury wagons are rare,the 60 ford country squire is rare lots of rare wagon too bad they are so rusty
Where is it at
Where was this place seen 64 mercury park lane with a good hood
Toronado
16:04 between the bug and pickup cab it looks like a VW
notchback. worth money if it is
If I get back there I will have to look closer at that one! Thanks for watching!
Puddin's Fab shop would want that it looks a Datsun
I'm sure the old Datsun King would love that thing! Thanks for watching!
passes great muscle to look at a rice rocket and vw was drugs that strong for hippies

That place is awesome A lot of good parts there. Chances are other waiting for him to die and the kitten folks are gonna have the crusher in there the next morning
Yeah, it's a pretty neat place for sure! Thanks for watching!
I got a good idea. Let's buy up every car we can for three decades, take the tires off and let them sink into the ground, so that 40 years from now we can see grown men cry. Nice.
Olds tornado was that odd quad headlight car you asked what is that
That's what I thought it was. Thanks for confirming!
33:29 '66 Ford County Squire
I feel like I'm pretty decent at know what cars are what, but I felt pretty inadequate out there. So many cars from before I was even born, and most missing some parts made it tough for me to identify them! Thanks for the help, and for watching the video!!
The owner gave you guys a HUGE CLUE as to why he ain't sold out to any scrapyards.
He'd rather sell the cars to the restoration community in some capacity.
I agree with video hosts that most vehicles are rouched out & only good for parts, yet some exist amoungst us whom can bring such wreck new life. Those of us whom can work diligently over a few years on one single car with no distractions. Not I. Which is why I do agree with hosts.
Hosts, your video seems dry on color to my eyes. Or had there been a forrest fire amoungst them cars?
Was panning way too fast
I about got whiplash trying to watch it.
Yeah, it's a little dizzying, sorry about that!
Can't see anything what's the hurry.
Yeah, I hear ya. We moved quickly and the camera does swing around a little wildly at times. It was Easter Sunday and we didn't want to be out there too long and potentially irritate the old man that owns the place. Thatnks for watching though!
84 toyota van looks good
Yeah, not too bad really. Always makes you wonder why they ended up there. Thanks for watching!
What a waste of good cars that someone own for a long time and did not take care of them , make’s me sick ! Soon scarp metal , but will only get 1/2 value cause 1/2 rusted :( too much land too much money that’s our people ordered , i fixed many in the last 40 years , i I kept four of them for retirement fixing got one already done three more to go❤
In 1972. I was. Seventeen. Friend. Had mothers. New. Corrola. Thanks

Ford Pinto Hatchback.
Read an archived Indiana accident report in a newpaper article. Two teenage girls lost their lives after being hit from behind.
Their doors jammed, all occupants burned alive.
The pintos were bad news.
Here in the midsouth my sister owned a beautiful metallic ford royal blue pinto.
We never knew of this being a death machine.
Well I didn't.
Maybe this article is why she sold it quick. She owned it fir less amount of years than any other car.
Surely, some car resto genus can remod a pinto to be safe.
Grimlins are neat, yet Pintos have curves.
Yikes, that may be the worst junk yard I have viewed, based on non desirable 4 door 60's 70's 80's Fords, Chev's and Dodge tin.....not even alot of salvagable fenders, hoods, anything....just scrap
Not a big fan of videos where people are swinging that camera. No Thanks.
Yeah, its a little dizzying, sorry about that.
What about a location?
Surely, he sells parts?
I never seen anything there I would waste my time on let alone pay money for.The Invirionmental Department of that state should give them 90 days to sterialize that land and have it replantable. I am a Classic Car man, But this is not being responaible for the land or invironment. The Groumd water is taminated for deveral miles around. This is unbelievable and the whole Estate should be Claimed against a family who allowed such a rape on the land. No Mercy.
