My Dad got a fantastic deal on a red Wagoneer that was almost brand-new when I was a baby, probably '64 or '65. It was a running joke because it was LITERALLY worth more than our house. Poignant to see this one get crushed (man, it crushed SO flat) but yeah, no fixing that.
That old Wagoneer was the rustiest hulk we've had on the pile in a while. Am I wrong, or did I actually see the frame collapse when he was arranging it?
I saw the body rolling up off of frame while he was sorting the door, no real frame collapse. Not that it matters as it definitely puffed a rusty cloud at the end, poor thing was dust. Was a cool color tho.
The body was so badly rusted it detached from the frame. The Riviera probably had the worst frame, that model was notorious for rusting out underneath the trunk.
My friend accidentally crushed a fairly new one with a giant front end loader once .....the right side was completely flattened.......it was illegally parked on a active jobsite on the landfill 🤣 they should have just buried it & call it a day & "what car ,we didn't see it up here "
Had a chance to buy a '63 Willys Wagoneer with the OHC 6 and three on the tree. I was in college, though, and couldn't pony up the 3 grand the owner wanted (early 1990's). They're rare as hens teeth!
Unfortunately, they always had corrosion problems, even through multiple ownership changes: AMC, AMC/Renault, and finally Chrysler...they all seem to rot out behind the wheels, and in the front seat floor pans.
Built like tanks, lol. These cars have flimsy bodies and pillars compared to todays cars. They can't even support their own weight in a rollover. Weak.
It’s a shame somebody neglected that old 83, Buick Rivera letting it go to waste that it was too far gone to be of any good use today, sad 😢 it was a good car back in it’s time and day.
This is why cars here in the south where I live last longer, no road salt. The town where I live in Georgia still has unmodified original 60's and 70's vehicles driving around. It's sad to see a once beautiful car which used to be a family's pride and joy fall victim to salt. Why can't we replace salt yet? Why can't we just use alcohol or some kind of antifreeze liquid that isn't harmful to the ecosystem? We have the technology, why?
Why isn't the area around the crusher ever cleaned out .been like that for years. Hardly any room to move around???? Don't understand. Must be thousands of cars in the yard!!!!
That's mad,that old 64 jeep would have been worth something even in the state it was in,at the very least someone should of taken the old number plate off it,that would definitely be worth something
I have a 64 gladiator in the same green color. My favorite 60s Jeep color. Bummer, would love to have snatched the cluster glass. Mine's cracked. Oh well. Hope the front grill was not on there.
Having all those gas tanks around the crusher doesn’t seem like a smart idea. And if it was cleaned up the loader operator would have more room to maneuver!
My heart bleeds for em,a Transport,a classic Riveria,and that classic Jeep in that mint 💚💚💚 green God ,just think of that brand new off the line at a plant back then, sad 😢😢😢
@@kevinwong6588 kind of. A huge difference is that the Fiero and the Dustbuster vans were space frame vehicles, but the Saturns were unibody construction
@@brentboswell1294 I had a family member that got a used 2005 Saturn Ion with the plastic panels and the thing had 189,000 miles on it and no dents at all on the body except one on the metal hood. I strongly feel the plastic panels were superior to the steel panels since they don't rust, and they don't dent.
Dodge & Plymouth made some of the same cars like Colt & Neon but now they don't make Plymouth anymore & neither Colt or Neon are no longer made by Dodge
I'm a car guy and l hate to see this. I know it's happening somewhere but l don't want to think about all those parts people will pay a fortune for in the future and maybe not find.
Three quirky, iconic vehicles in that crusher: a Dustbuster GM van, a Buick Riviera (from when it still a pretty special vehicle, when it had the Oldsmobile Tornado transmission/drive setup), and a Kaiser-Willys Wagoneer 😟
It's sad to see the Jeep go to the big junkyard in the sky but she was too rough to save. RIP.
Thats for sure

There was still good parts on it too, side emblems, door windows, dash etc
The miles, the memories, the families that had these cars. I know it’s just part of the lifecycle of cars, but it’s still sad!
Those dustbuster minivans are getting rarer too.
The jeep, some of those had a TH400 trans with the Buick 364-401-425 case, those are desirable.
Damn, those rear Windows on the Waggy were in good shape. I need those. Damn shame.
Some of those 80s cars were ready for this by 1990. A few models probably should have been tossed straight in there.

@@ronaldkovacs7080 5:05 not too bad maybe pump up the tires a bit 🙂
Body had rusted off the frame. Big cloud of rust when it was crushed.
Those Pontiac Transports & Saturns are a real pain in the ass to deal with
The 'Trans' says it all.
Poor ole jeep, it was forced to mate with a Trans....so unfair!
I like how the spare tire at 4:25 has SPARE designed into the tread.
Good eye. I completely missed that.
They should have crushed that Pontiac the day it rolled off the assembly line .
My friend accidentally crushed a fairly new one with a giant front end loader once .....the right side was completely flattened.......it was illegally parked on a active jobsite on the landfill 🤣 they should have just buried it & call it a day & "what car ,we didn't see it up here "
Very sad about the rare two tone riviera...and no vinyl top option...a beauty in its day
May have been a T-Type. Thought I saw the T-Type callout on the front fender
Just where a trans-sport deserves to be
How dare you? That Jeep had the last lugnut I needed to complete my Wagoneer!
Should have went there and got it before they crushed it then
I saw a few things on the Jeep that could have been saved before it was crushed. SAD 😞
@@bigw8549 They don't have the room to store parts. A lot of junk yards don't have the room to store parts.

That Wagoneer was so rusted out it actually flattened easier than the other cars which is insane due to the fact they are built like tanks.

That front bumper was good only thing good on that rust buick
Good eye catching that emblem. I thought it was a Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz (same car basically)
They were bad, along with the Seville, Eldorado and Toronado for the frames rusting badly underneath the trunk,
I have one thing to say. I hate road salt.

There was nothing left of the jeep, and that's before it was crushed.
Bumpers, glass, wheels, handles, trim badges, tailgate, back door and no doubt some interior bits. Probably someone even needed the roof.
Still worth $785K at a minimum
@@wileecoyote5749 Suspect being worth $785,000 is a bit optimistic. Even Barrett-Jackson would struggle to get that much for that Wagoneer.
@@CycolacFan Well I'm not going to auctions with you, you just run the price up!!
I love it when the glass pops thank you for sharing

That old Jeep like most, was nothing but rust!
Thanks for the video keep them coming 😎 👍
Would have liked to have seen footage of the Jeep all round before it met it's grizzly fate. Could clearly see it was well beyond saving.
and again mister corvan . nice to see your vids . kind regards from lacave 46200 the south of france . chapeau 👍🏻
I really don't know why I like watching vehicles get crushed but it is really interesting to watch
Not much scrap weight out of the jeep!
Let's have a moment of silence for these cars that couldn't be saved.
I hope that poor Rivera had cloth seats! That Wagoner was toast!
That's mad,that old 64 jeep would have been worth something even in the state it was in,at the very least someone should of taken the old number plate off it,that would definitely be worth something
And maybe even the windows too they're really hard to find
'If there's something strange in the neighborhood, Who ya gonna call? DUSTBUSTERS!!!!'
It hurt to see the Riviera be crushed, but it was already too far gone to be saved. Thankfully there are still some of them around to this day.
Years ago, I had a car that was a complete junkbox. I nicknamed it "that trap". I would have loved to have fed it to that machine.
It's so satisfying to see the glass go flying
Most of these were junk when they were new. I guess the Wagoneer had a little metal in it.
I have a 64 gladiator in the same green color. My favorite 60s Jeep color. Bummer, would love to have snatched the cluster glass. Mine's cracked. Oh well.
Hope the front grill was not on there.

Oh no a Dust buster van.. rest in peices
Back when they made Jeeps
My heart bleeds for em,a Transport,a classic Riveria,and that classic Jeep in that mint 💚💚💚 green God ,just think of that brand new off the line at a plant back then, sad 😢😢😢
Go watch cowboy car crushing. He just crushed three internationals this week.
@@Starman998 I can't watch him anymore, no concern/knowledge of older vehicles, just going for ratings.
My brother had a Jeep just like that and same color 40 years ago
Crushed that Wagoneer flatter than anything.
Wow that Jeep got really flat....
The fiberglass body on the Transport crunches diffently than steel cars It seem to be very resistant.
The panels are made out of polyester, but the body itself is made out of steel
@@fixinggrace for all, intents and purposes, the body material used on the TranSport acts like fiberglass. I owned a Fiero, made of the same stuff 😉

And that's what a rust sandwich looks like!
- Å fan! 👍
Nooo that Wagoneer was from Minnesota! I could’ve taken it. I know a guy who has dealt with a car that bad
Sad to see the Colt get crushed.
Save that Jeep you can get $785K
Not completely rusted out to shit like that one was. :/
The front right tyre on the forklift looked pretty flat.
Dodge & Plymouth made some of the same cars like Colt & Neon but now they don't make Plymouth anymore & neither Colt or Neon are no longer made by Dodge
How come everybody want to keep it like the kaiser?
My mom had one of those stupid dustbuster vans new in the 90s. That thing was garbage. Good riddance!

Was that a Buick Riviera?
All the cars in the video are listed in the description
@@kubotaman85 I see that now!
Supercar Blondie was showing one of your videos on Facebook
Sad part is you think that's news
Wasn’t looking for it just thought he might be interested that someone is showing his videos on fb….
👍👍😀🇨🇦
dust buster
That poor ol’ Jeep… it deserved a much better life. A ruined classic…
Will you ever run out of cars?
Nope! Junk yards are getting vehicles in all the time
The number of cars junked daily in the USA must be incredible
