- Mr. Goodpliers heads to Nebraska to check out a huge collection of vintage cars & trucks! Walk around and see Chevrolet, Ford, Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac and more! This is Part One. Stay tuned for more from this spot - walk arounds of the remaining rows of vehicles, and auction action!
Once the are gone there gone" at least they exist anything can be fixed with today's technology rust can be cut out and weld in new I have seen some real bad ones restored " and not to A RAT ROD these car are beautiful with the chrome and design not the plastic cars nowadays
Large collection. Shame they are removing the plates although these are really parts cars.
The Mercury sedan seen at 55:20 is a 1955 Mercury Montclair and not a '56 Merc. The '56 Merc feautured the introduction of the "Big M" logo on the front of the hood. I myself have prefer the '55 model year having been the past owner of one.
It amazes me how you can tell the year by the trim. My ex knew Chevs late 50s by the chrome trim.
Thanks for sharing your adventures. I used to love looking thru old relic cars and trucks in yards late 60s. Nice remembering how our country used to build stuff.
Concept:
What if...... What if a car museum was to have a seasonal exhibit of a collection of cars EXACTLY like what we've just seen right here? I mean, complete with all the filth and cobwebs, all the warts and broken hearts and puzzling damage? Just drag em in as is, right off the field, right out of the woods, into the showroom. Point A to Point B.
Because I gotta admit, what we're looking at here is surprisingly intriguing. You just don't see this sort of thing very often, if at all. You'll never see 60 years of forest rot in a large collection of classic cars in a big city and chances aren't any better in other major regions of the U.S. What's more, once these 'old farmer hoards' are all gone through, recycled, sold off, you will never see anything like this again.
I'm a car guy not any different than the next one. I like em all, I like em restored to the Nth degree, I like survivor cars, barn finds, even belly button cars etc etc. Cars like what are seen here in this collection, in this state, are just as equally fascinating, if not more. And you can't fake this stuff or recreate it. It's yet another intriguing picture of time. They're actually in their own class and should get recognition as such and the spot light a little more.
I'd come see it, and water the moss
Just think at one time each and every one of those vehicles was somebody's pride and joy the day they brought it home brand new the fact that they still exist is awesome.
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!
What kind of gas mileage did these 1940's and 50's cars get.
I'm thinking not very good... 10-15mpg?
My grandfather had a 59 Bel Aire. It was perfect! Red with white top! I wasn't in it but once. It had a hideous plaid or checkered pattern on the seat vinyl. He even had clear thick plastic over the vinyl! Grandparents back then were very different from what everyone knows today! It was never a good time going to their house! 😕
Looking forward to Part 2. There's so many cool old cars and trucks that It's hard to decide which to bid on.
I just got my 64 Studebaker And this car I like even better It's got style it's got flare it doesn't look don't be to me but everybody is a you know it's there I love this car the studabaker you're talking about
DDSPEED Shop Dan could convert the 66 Impala into a 2 door in a week and have it on the road in 3.AL B.
Tim, an added deference between 47 & 48 Chevys. Is the narrow body trim on 47’s where 48 had a wider body trim on all models.
Should limit the talking & history lessons esp as you where off on several & most the guys watching all ready know what there looking at
this is what happens soooooooo many times,them old guys wont sell nothing and you have to wait until they die!!so sad!!!look how great some them cars would have been if they were not rotting away in the field for years and years.good video though.thanks for sharing.hope some of them cars can live again!!!
I Live in South East Nebraska!
That was my same color of my 52 Chevy hardtop
The 59 Ford has a black dash and garnish moldings, then it would be a gold interior, upper part of the door panels and the vinyl part of the seat upholstery
@ 42:12 - that '58 BelAir is Cay Coral, which is a metallic color.
Well another one of those sales that I would have liked to kind of gone to. I only say kind of because I would not have had the time. But see there's an idea for you. Other channels sell memberships for whatever reason. But everything of course is to build subscriber numbers. You could probably have an auction notification pay list. I'm going to say it. No one else is said it as I look too a number of the comments. Oh what a shame you see those cars just sit there and waste away in the woods all that time! Somebody should have came in earlier. Okay I don't necessarily believe that because they belonged to the man and he freedom to do with them what he wanted to or not wanted to. Auction may not get premium price compared too if you part them out. But then how long would that take to effectively part them out? I was thinking man at least he didn't recycle them into a bunch of toasters. A minute later in your video you said something about recycling them into toasters at least I didn't happen. Deja Vu I guess. Anyway I feel like I do when I was a kid that I'm at an end of an era. The end an era back then was that well when they basically went to front wheel drive. The era now is just how long will we have the pleasure of seeing large amounts of these old relics being auctioned off.?
Hey Brother, were you talking to me?
@@MichaelBrown1432 I don't know all I said was I would like to probably see this auction. But there's other hoards of cars around.
@@CAROLDDISCOVER-1983 I just cannot seem to fine them in Illinois. Mist likely because OF RUST and because of the "CASH FOR KLUNKERS" dealio from the Government. IDK
@@MichaelBrown1432 sure you're right Illinois has a lot of rust and it doesn't seem to matter if you're north or south they have rust. It would be a 6-hour drive for you but around Wichita Great bend Kansas you can still find them. Farther south the Sun burns them up. But normally say Abilene Texas for example it's surface rust and the interior burned out of them. The glass is bubbled eliminated crack busted out. But the rest holes are not there! But cash for concrete is not to blame. Because the car is going to be so old and I had to meet some minimal operating conditions. It was more designed to take the gasco juice like a Ford expeditions should be suburban Lincoln Town cars off the road. I did not know this until I happen to research cash republicans. Some states kept it going for some time but I'm unaware of any of them doing it now. But that just artificially inflated the prices of cars and there was some talk about how it helped foreign car makers more than did our own. I went down to Kentucky and bought I don't know how many 57 Chevys from the sky here he already sold off three times as many. So I think he said about a dozen from him and they were all project cars. My son had time is really into it I like cookies sandwiches don't get me wrong. But I kept three of them so I think my quote is full on 57s. Go where there's no lights. Look on her satellite map at night. Research the sales and resale history of the car you're looking for. Also look to see where they were made! If it's a long trip take your family friends or your dog or maybe pet alligator whatever one they have and make a vacation out of it. Go fix that car and truck just be aware of the trade off. Just today I looked at a 68 firebird 350 Pontiac engine in it. It was Rusty and it had gone from Oklahoma to Colorado and then the guy brought from Colorado to southwestern Missouri almost back home to Oklahoma. $3,000 and that was a decent buy. But I'm going to cool for a little while and see what happens. Because I already have a 68 and I bought for practically nothing 5 or 6 years ago . It was sitting on its belly and he said for about 6 weeks so I figured 6 months and he has the absolute best floor pan of any of the first generation Firebirds I've seen that hasn't been replaced. Absolutely no rust through or thinning of the floor. I found that 45 minutes from the Florida Alabama line up into Alabama. There's a narrow strip of dry through there. Sometime these things fall into your lap too
So much to like in this video! Had a 61 Belvedere 4dr back in 1980? Was a non runner, & mom got mad when my little 3 yr old brother came in the house head to toe in grease, so the car had to go! I won't mind a 2 dr Lark, or the Rambler wgn for a summer fun car. (Will keep the rust issues in mind!) Some do it yourselfers could cut the 4 dr into a 2dr like DD speed shop channel has been doing. He even made a convertible out of a 4dr! Thanks for posting and looking forward to the rest of this location shoot, Tim.
Wow! Some really cool cars and trucks there Mr. Goodplyers. Thanks for taking me along to see these relics.
I agree James, Thanks Mr. Goodpliers for your work! That 56 4dr Ford was amazing, I would have liked more of detailed coverage on that Sweet car.
Hey dude,
ICC just posted his Vid of this same auction 23 hours ago. Did you see him there and did you win/lose against Ryan with ICC?
48:12 Reminded me of the old joke "I want to die like my uncle: peacefully in his sleep, unlike his passengers" 😂🤣
While I know there's at least a part 2 coming, so far I'd have to lean to that 41 Ford pickup myself.
Did you notice the bumper on that 61 Belvedere was in pretty good shape along with the grille? Would've been good saves for Coldwar Motors.
its sad how many cheap hoarders out there that just stashed away cars to rot too cheap too give away or sell at a good price so they can live
Im really starting to dislike that stupid kinemaster watermark....
I am too.
I didn't mind it at first, but several people have commented about it on the last videos. I compared it to the older version, and they have made it darker. It's $120 annually to upgrade to premium, which I tried to do just to make it go away, but couldn't figure out. On one hand, I have used the free editor for a couple years now, but on the other it feels a bit like extortion.
Love your videos, I wish they could go on for Hours.., I just saved a 4-door 56 Cadillac from the crusher here in Northern Ontario, New Liskeard to be exact, it has a 365, I got it unseized and it’s trying to run lol,,,, I got it for $200 and I thought the hood ornament could be worth that, it’s super rough but there’s miles of nice chrome trim 😎
There might be a couple more hours from this place... Stay tuned!
That '56 Pontiac @ 11:15 mark...reminds me of my dad.
His very first vehicle...which he bought in '57 or '58...was a '56 Pontiac.
I know his was a 2-door, not a 4-door, but I don't know what model it was.
All he ever told me, was that it was a '56 Pontiac.😎
Pretty rough stuff.
Cannot wait to see all the goodies that you found on this find!
Very cool.............. 👍👍👍👍
That Studebaker Lark must be a1959 judging from the grill openings below the turn signal lights. That was also the first year for the Lark.
Pliers!!!!😇
that dog had a petrified frisbee lol
It's a shame that those guys spend all that time picking cars digging them out of certain places and storing them and then when they pass on they're being sold some for scrap some for somebody to do some with. But at least they save them from the crusher way back when they found them originally. But some of them are so far gone it's not worth saving.
The Studebaker Lark was a 1959 "Deluxe". The most basic , entry level car. Grille badge to the drivers side, Studebaker script on the front fender. Horizontal bar parking light grilles.
Fascinating! Thanks
Did you by chance come across Ryan from Iowa Classic Cars, he's pretty much a Chevy guy 59 thru 65 Impalas; I watched his video of this site earlier today and gathered at the end of the video, the auction had been completed... he was interested in a couple cars, but don't know if the hammer fell in his favor.
Enjoyed watching your video too BTW
33:21 my very first car. Mine, 1968 Bonneville 455 4bbl & loaded to the gills. Also beat to death ;-) I got it in 1976.
Regards from Ody Slim
Just wondering, any old Ariens snowblowers, or Ariens lawnmowers? Thanks from St. Paul.Minnesota.
Most of these would not bring much even if restored, 4 doors and family cruisers just don’t bring much money.
The way Rambler 6-s burned oil one would think the back of the car wouldn't rust.
The Mercury is a 55. You mentioned bubble top '59 Chevs, Starliners are more rare and as valuable. Especially 61's. That '61 Merc with a stick setup might have had the 375 HP or 401 HP 390 in it. Perhaps also the '61 Starliner. 406 did not come out until '62 (I'm pretty sure)
cool i luv your narratives we in New Zealand had American cars left an right hand drive cars, I had a 56 Pontiac Star Chief R\H an a 1959 Pontiac Strato Chief L/H back in the early 1970 keep up the great work
O.B.T.W. That knobs on the steering wheel is called a "BRODY KNOB"!
HAHA
Thumbs up for the Lark1960 and the Blue Dodge truck(8:30) 👍
With most of these cars you mention either it's parts or a resto. I think a lot of these could be drivers. Beat it out a little and do some mechanicals.. It has to be the right person, but I feel there is a big grey area that you're not considering with many of these. I guess the commentary on the '59 at the end made me want to mention this. ✌✌
That would be true in most cases, but with the amount of time these had sat, a full mechanical restoration would have been necessary to end up for a beater/driver. Every engine there would have needed rebuilt or replaced, then brakes... realistically an entire mechanical refurbishment
From what I have seen lately any of those '67 Fairlane parts are worth massive sums of money because things like tail lights aren't available.
That wagon is worth $$$
That's a 62 f-85 olds. You can tell by the grill.
Those cars are rough!!! 66 Cadillacs also have a chrome bar across center the grill. 65's do not.
Not many worth more than parts. Thanks for the video 👍
there is some good cars in there still to save but a lot of 4 door cars that are worth nothing except parts for the 2 door cars out there to still live on.so hopefully they will buy the 4 door cars and use the parts to keep the 2 door cars alive still.
you forgot to look under the hood of the 1961 Olds F-85 to see if it was turbo chargrd!!! since that was the first turbocharged car in america !!!
That red custom van over in the distance is SICK!!!🤩🔥 They're getting hard to find now
You posted this before I went to work. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this all day, thanks Tim.
Tons of cool cars in the lot. My top 3 best are:
The Beetle at 6:20 is awesome. Oval Beetles are my favorite ones. I almost had bought one years ago but the owner changed his mind about selling it, so I bought the 2cv aka the car from my avatar from another seller.
The truck at 12:04 is a cool truck. The '47 Chevrolet at 35:20 is my favorite car on the lot. I love cars that have split windshield. If I was in the US I'd be looking for one.
rambler wagon love it, of course 40 ford pickups
These videos are great and sad. These " Collections" are going to slowly become more and more of a rare event. I wish they coutbe left alone. But I guess the interest isn't there and the money is. Great job.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think back to all the old cars I dragged out of fields and cut up for scrap. Who knew?
G'day mate awesome .thanks 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks for the walkaround. Its parts-topia!
What is a telehandler?
All terrain forklift, 4 wheel drive, with extending boom
Top Plymouth was Golden Camando Commando 61 Belvedere 2- door rarest
A lot of those cars still exists because they are all steel , today cars wouldn’t last fifty or sixty years …
Nice dog and the no comment on the stuffed animal in the windshield was interesting I thought
Never mind the wildlife habitats, feel the rusting hulks.
👍👍👍
cool like to see the lic plates and the dealer decal or plate where they where sold new look. like lot of them never left Nebraska
That 60 Starliner is a RARE one too!!!
Cool video a lot of neat little facts you pointed out like the 61 ford door handle awesome video as always.
Very good episode !! I love seeing all these great classics. Thank you man.. Keep it up..
Ubiquitous junk yard dog.
is this going to be a auction soon? Or has it already happened?
It happen last sat
If that is a Corvair Monza it might be worth the investment.
great display sir . at least these cars maybe get a chance to save a restoration or make a restoration .and bring some good times to a dad and son or daughters life .
Have a car auction get what you can to save other cars
Ford Mo Co..had huge problem from 1965-1968 ...the frames rotted out and the cars split in two..we had 1966 Monterey and 1968 Park Lane (Mercury..Ford) ..the frames rotted out and cars sagged and couldnt open the doors....Ford had pretty much always been cheap disposable garbage...people dumped them 5 years after buying them...they are nothing special
Depends on the location. I picked up a 1966 Mercury Montclair once... after it was on the trailer I looked down and saw the frame rail lying on the ground.
However, this is still one of my favorite body styles (and I've found a few good ones)
Another informative tour. Thanks sir
All cornflakes rusty junque
It's fantastic that them cars are there . I see lots of resto projects .
Awesome!! Thank You
Mr. Badsocket! Thanks for sharing your impressive knowledge of old cars. I learned a number of things I didn't know before and got to look at a bunch of cool cars to boot! Keep up the good work! I make a point of watching your videos.
Auction off
Salvage yard
Rare cars & parts cars
Mercury 312 motors
Parts high these days old cars
10:56..that's a '64 Ford truck..first year for that bed design...'63 and earlier had either unibody bed, stepside bed, or the "wrongbed"('57-'60 style)...plus, that's a '64 grill, also....28:39..you are correct about those '49 Ford details, that were different on a '50..however, I noticed this car has the '50 Ford crest on the hood, not F-O-R-D spelled out in letters, like a '49..so it must have had either a '50 Ford hood added later, or someone removed the letters and replaced them with the '50 crest...28:54..'47 or '48 Ford, not a '46..'46 had the rectangular parking lights above the grill, '47-'48 went to the round ones below the headlights...39:46...another '64 ford truck...not a '65...
The 61-62-63 Ford Pick-up trucks were UniBody Styleside,Humpy Pontoon Fender Flareside and Wrong Bed Styleside. The 57-60 Styleside Pick-up bed was offered as an alternative to the UniBody Styleside Pick-up
Correct.

Love it awesome cars and trucks hope to see the rest
Thank you, great walk around.
Mr. Goodpliers, this was my dad's estate sale. You didn't do too bad on your guesses. :) Feel free to ask any questions or PM me if you'd like.
@ M V I'm certain that perhaps things didn't end up the way he would've liked, yet I hope there was tremendous returns on his 'investment' over the years. Glad to see the family decided not to just crush it all. There's plenty of good cars/parts etc there.
Condolences to you n your family as well.
@@jamesthompson8008 Thank you James!
A friend from Nebraska sent me this one. Unfortunately I did not see the first two sales... I would have loved to see what they started with!
Dear MV, where there any leftovers?
Hopefull, ME, would like to know. You could PM me!
@@MichaelBrown1432 Ha! Sorry, no leftovers.
The size of that rear window on the Statliner!😮
Thanks you for video
Easiest way to tell a ‘65 Cadillac from a ‘66 from the front: The ‘65 front turn signals are in the bumper; ‘66 are in the grille.
65 headlight doors are chrome, 66 are painted.
Lots of good parts and projects
The last year of the "Y" block was 1964, not 1962!
I believe that's correct for trucks. The last year for them in the cars was 1962
barn finds are interesting.
You can't park a vehicle on the ground, the vehicles seem to pull the moisture from the ground!! My Dad told me that, he said look at how the grass yellows after 2 or 3 days.
Excellent.
More trucks.
More trucks.
More trucks.
Plez
Next video will catch the whole row of trucks - Stay tuned!
U said that you still have the 75- Delta 88 rear tail lights for sale..??
I’m guessing the bug is a ‘61. The hood hinges and prop are the same on my June of 1961 bug but a December of 1961 bug I owned had spring hinges. The hood crest also ended in ‘63, as did the rag top. That roof alone is worth $1500 probably. Cool car , unoriginal taillights.
You know in Arkansas there's three VW only salvage yards. Including what I would call the Mecca VW salvage yard. Also there's one in the middle of Missouri that's pretty decent and they build them as well. But the one in the middle of Missouri got more rust . There's a few more around but they couldn't afford to charge by the pound unless they're selling bags of rust dust. As far as those are in the midwest.
who had the auction i would like a copy of the sale bill
I can't remember seeing any at the clerks table
the auction company should be online who ever that was. thank you for all the old car videos mr goodpliers you are very lucky to be in an area where there are older vehicles yet there is nothing here in southeast minnesota
