- Come along as we tour this amazing graveyard of Tri-Five Chevys, Fords, and some remarkably rare other cars. I thought places like this were long gone.

One of the few old car channels that uses the correct terminology when identifying body styles.
What a trooper you are crackling around in the forest with Richard
An amazing place i can hope that most of these gems will be saved. If only for parts that will live on in other builds
So cool. I wish I had more time to take off of work to go exploring places like this.
For us motorheads it's like being a kid in a candy store!
Thanks for bringing this to the tube Richard and Christina.
That's right Gary, like a candy store.
The ford beside the 55 Chevy was a 56. The Texas one was a 55. Side trim identifies it on the 56 and a giveaway on the 55 was the trunk emblem among other things. Good find. Worth saving some of those cars.
Hi Richard & Christina, greetings from Scotland.
It’s great to see these places in the US. Over here in the UK cars of that vintage are either in mud fields, or the cars have disintegrated to a point where they are almost unrecognisable.
Some of the vehicles under cover could definitely be resuscitated, and useable, although lots of the outdoor cars and trucks were beyond saving. The US Army truck would look amazing if someone could devote the time to it.
Anyway, another interesting video, & thanks for posting.
John.
My dad had one of those cars when I was a little boy his was black and white had a 6 cylinder in it three speed on a column I love that car I wish I had it
I see these once wonderful old cars and I can't help but wonder how and why they have wound up where they are now.
Amazing job. I live this kind of find. When I was a kid going to the junk yard with my dad was the best field trip ever. Brings back great memories.
For sure. I can recall every trip made to the local yard as a kid. Glad this video brought back some good memories for you.
Mr. B. Here ! ☕️☕️🍩🍩😎👀👍. Morning ! This is very cool 😎. The really sad thing is most will not be saved ! Great video !
One of my dream cars is a bare bones '57 150 chevy with a twin 4bbl 283 and 4-speed 👌...Wish you got the wooden wheel Christina, I'm sure it will become one with the earth soon...
Power Pac heads and a 350 RV cam too!
Love old Fords, the Y- Block,292,312, good engines.
it simply amazes me that people have that stuff all over the place-and here you guys are finding it exactly like it itsssss-good job!!!
Heck yeah fun yard for my Chevy buddies lol
So many cool old cars!
great find richard and christina looks like there are a couple of them there that could be restored that t bird looks like it has a 312 engine in it thank y'all for sharing keep them coming safe travels
The guys sitting on a gold mine wow my dad had a 65 impala convertible maroon with a 327 ss
One of my brothers had a 55 Ford with the t bird engine and 4 speed transmission it was a solid car.
That would be an awesome car. The 4 speed makes it.
Lots of good parts and with the available repo -parts for tri-fives some of those cars could live again...we don't find anything like that up here sadly all the old junkyards have been cleaned out...I would build that Mercury just because you don't see very many of them around ...it would stick out at a car show..keep up the good work.. thanks for taking us along...Karl from eastern Canada
You're welcome Karl. Thanks for watching.
What a gold mine of some great old iron. Great video and I like how you include history into some of these old vehicles. Now that the weather is starting to warm up watch out for snakes.
That's right. From here on out snakes will be a concern for us. Thanks for the reminder.
I was 13 in 1978 and was just becoming car crazy. At the edge of town was an old "junk" yard that was just chock full of cars from the 30's through the early 70's. I remember walking through it and dreaming about restoring all the old cars that were there, most of which were in fairly decent shape. Clippers, DeSotos, Packards, all the old names that you really don't see at many shows, in addition to the cars from the Big Three. Such a cool place for a young man. Scrap prices in the early 2000's brought an end to that place, as well as to many similar yards around the country. It's too bad, 'cause there was a lot of neat history there. Thanks for taking us through this one! I ALWAYS look forward to the next video of yours! Take care!
Thanks very much for the support. I recall junkyards like that as well. Real estate prices drove them out of business where I lived. You could follow the housing expansion across towns, and one knew when the next yard would be sold off and closed. It is so unfortunate.
Wow, that was an amazing find. Some really good parts there. Places like that in the UK are almost all gone. Thank you
You're welcome Andre.
this was a very cool find
At 30 minutes and only one 56 chevy. Sir the wife is a keeper going All those branches and trees just to get to that red 56. I thought it was a 55 until I seen the tail light cut out.👍
Love chevy Nice show cool yard 👍👍👏👏👏😍
Richard you and Christina do really great work on your videos i hear chickens 🐔 i really love chickens 🐔
That 46 Ford Coupe was pretty nice. I had a Super Deluxe. Great finds for sure Richard. And thanks to Christina for her filming.Great Video guys. Thanks for sharing.
❤️💯👍👊
You're welcome Terry! Thanks for watching.
So many projects to build.
Really awesome find! I would bet someone could get a lot of great parts from him! Thanks for taking us on that fantastic tour, Richard and Christina! I am always excited when I see you post a video. Thanks. I love going through old junk yards' also!
Glad you liked it! We are working on lining up another yard soon.
11:58 I believe it was Ford Crestliner. Lots of interesting vehicles.
Always have loved old junk yards,❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless Y'all and your critters
Glad you liked it, Jim. Thank you for the support.
Excellent video Christina :) , Richard :) nice finds and ones are complete too also nice 1930 Ford Model A car for sure!
Wow still a lot of good parts there good video thank you Richard and Christina
You're welcome Dale.
Late to the party, but killer video as always. Shame to see those classics like that. Should buff right out.😊
Cool Place! Sill some good usable parts & a few with good bones that could be brought back to life. Dan from "DD's Speedshop" would go nuts if he went there! He has a bunch of Tri-Five's he's built.
Such a incredible collection of amazing rides there great find. I really love the Victoria and the mercury car in the shop. Have a glorious day both of you.
Thanks very much guys. That Mercury is very cool. Imagine not being on the road since 62!
@@whattherust it is so wild that the car has not seen the road in that long.
Those tri 5 chevvies here in Nova Scotia only lasted 4 or 5 years. They rusted bad above rear wheels.
As always liked and shared. All my very best.
Thank you for the continued support.
Great stuff! I enjoy visiting junkyards with ya'll.
Lots of history there. If those cars could talk. Wow!! 😊 I wonder if they'd let you do a will it run on one. Thanks for sharing, Richard and Christina!
Hey David, thanks for watching. Some other viewers are asking a similar question. I don't think so, as the owner is not fully understanding TH-cam and how it works.
My favorite tri-5 Chevy is the 56 model mainly because I rarely see them anymore.
Great video!
Awesome video as always Richard & Christina. Reminds me of my first car: A '56 Chevy 210, 4 drs, 3 on the tree. It was a one owner car from North Dakota. Bought it in Kansas in 1971 for $95. Greetings from California.
Damn shame about that 69 Camaro 😢😢 looks like my buddy's from back in the 90's
another good one thanks for sharing
neat trip
Great shop to work in, or out of. 👍
Quite the collection of old fossils, maybe someday the owner will finish one. Great video.
Love this video nice stuff keep on recording.
Thanks ,more to come.
Rat Rod Bob just finished a project. I bet he could do wonders with those 55 hard tops. He a great builder.
The only one i'd want is the 56 ford that was all there & under cover, but he probably wouldn't sell it & probably never do anything with it, that's how these hoarders operate. Good tour.
Great video once again! Great old machines! Thanks for posting the video!!😁🤟🔧🛠️👍
7:40 Oh man that old Suzuki is SO cool! It would be very Cool if you guys did a "will it start" on a bike like that! It may not be a super classic but it's been made into an icon of it's age with that very period paint job and it would be the hippest thing around if it was running and driving in the exact look and patina it's in right there!!
That is a good idea. I am not sure if the owner would be up for it, but I come across these occasionally at other places.
The one you say you weren’t sure what is , looks to me like a 1940-41ford 4 door sedan body , from what I could see of it . Great video to see all those old ones though .
Awesome video folks, thank you.
Glad you liked it.
Very cool place, thanks for the tour!
You're welcome!
I like that OBS truck, wish you looked at it a little closer. 👍
Love your show. Always Entertaining.
If I might. You might have already been told this I was going to help you out with some information.
Let's start by antique tags no matter what state. There is never a yearon those tags. Because they are made to go from year to year.
Next in this video you look at a 53 ford . If you would look at the steering wheel, you will see. This is the fiftieth anniversary a very cool feature.
And the last thing when you are looking at fifty five fifty six fifty seven chevys. You look at the valve cover and say they are staggered. Well yes and no. Only the 1955 265 had Staggered five covers. Yes you can look at any small block 283 And assume those were staggered. But in truth they are not. I will try to find you a picture of a 265 only 55 vs all others You will see a significant difference
Please keep up the great work love watching you
Thank you for watching and for the info, particularly about the valve covers. I was not aware that it was only the 265 that had the staggered holes. The license plates do have years on them if they are old enough. The use of plates that cover multiple years came later, maybe in the late 60s, depending on the state.
Great video. The 65 Impala SS Convertible still has a lot if usable parts. Looks like it was a 283 car. 65 SS was the only year that gauges were standard. There was also a tach option available in place of the vacuum gauge
Good to know, thank you.
Hopefully enough parts to scrape together one good '57 Chevy!
Wow what a sad day for these cars
Impala convertable rare. You found the holy grail. SS.❤
I have a 1956 Ford Fairlane and I have a 1955 Ford custom but the sad part they are both four doors but they are in real good shape
You should do a will it run on that 4 door sedan 57 chevy river car.
You should hook up with Dead Pedal Motors. . He Northern Alabama guy. He clears out old places. Has a lot of contacts. Good channel. He can help you clear. Great find. They still out there.
I will never understand why people leave the windows down.
A few look savable. A shame they don't sell to someone while they still have some value.
Agreed, there are a few that could be saved, particularly the ones inside a structure.
I want all of them, ha ha ha .fun 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There are hundreds of farms like this in USA and Canada. SO many old classics and cool cars that are unfortunately just way too far gone to be of much use to anyone now. At one time they would have been worth something to sell cheap and maybe someone would have brought them back or at least used them for parts and helped other cars to live again. But sitting on them until UGH. Too late now.
Hey I think that rumble seat was John boy waltons 😅😅😅
The other little coupe body , also was a later 1940s ford . Ford made very few changes to the basic body shell they had , throughout the 1940s and their basic differences in looks , was mostly the bolt on parts like fenders, hood and grilles . Other than that , they had a split rear window frame , in the early 40s where post war , they had a solid rear window 46- 48. I think I’m saying all that right ! lol! But anyway they had the same basic body shell through the 40s .
Thanks for the info!
Very Cool Junkyard Crawl.
Thanks Robert.
Richard I had a 65 Impala. SS and it had a vacuum gauge in the dash
Very nice. I was shocked to see that this was an SS convertible.
The old Ford sedan is either a 39 or 40. A better look at the rear fender would tell us.
My Grandpa had a 55 Ford an a 57 Ford both 4 doors rusted out
The Chevy trunk was on either an Impala or Caprice. They had 6 taillights. Two on each side were in the trunk lid. The Biscayne and Belair only had 4 taillights total. They would only have 2 lights in the trunk lid.
That's right. Not sure what I was thinking there.
Hi yall from west Alabama
Hello Jamie.
@@whattherust how are y’all
another time capsule of a place.
The label in the trunk of that 53 Ford said Ford Crestline.
Most of the "65 SS Impala's had the factory vacuum gauge. This was not a factory AC car as it has vent pull knobs. The factory AC vents would have been just above where those knobs are located and a center vent above the heater controls. It may have had dealer installed AC.
That is good info to know. Thank you.
Give that 57 Chevy to DDspeed shop he will have it back together in a week or less
Right, there has to be some stuff here he would like.
Check the tail light lens for the year.
Richard put an offer in on that truck wow that's nice im looking for a 64 chevy truck so I can say my trucks as old as me hey how close to Laverne are you my kid lives there
Very close, Robert. About 30 minutes.
Richard, I can't believe you missed the SS center console on the ground next to the motorcycles. Lol at 7:21 in video.
46 ford turtleback coupe
Awesome video! Y’all were only a half mile from me when you were at Mr. Lee’s house
Don't you just have to wonder about who owned these cars, what stories can be told, places they travelled to, how they looked when brand new, what they cost? etc - no doubt a mixture of colorful people and places.
I think about that every time I see vehicles like this. These cars had proud owners at one time, and they hold a lot of memories.
The Jan on the 65 impala convertible is it was built in the Janesville Wisconsin plant
Got it. Thanks!
Richard, the car outside the building you questioned you didn't know what it was , looked like a post WWIl - 1946 - 1948 Chevrolet 4 door sedan like the one that was featured in the son's movie version of "A Christmas Story" ! Just saying. The red spoked wheel & tire leaning against the inside of the building looked like it's from mabe a 1936 - 1938'ish Chevrolet car like back in Al Capone's day. Perhaps.
Thanks for the info Chris.
and they came from Alabama with a Yamaha underneath... XD
interesting what decays, and what will survive the weather. do all wagon roofs from the 50's rust away from the body's frame like that? here you only see it on cars where the actual roof is a separate piece and the sealing crumbled away...
anyway, fascinating indeed. :) here in germany the only scrapyards comparable are strewn along the river rhine, where the original maeandering was cut off when they straightened the river, and what was left was swampy and nobody cared about it. and people would dump unwanted vehicles there, because nobody checked on these places. and they suspect that some wrecks have sunk in two to three meters into the swampy soil. :P and some day some engine or gearbox will corrode open and spoiling everything forever.
Very interesting Lothar. When I think of the Rhine, I would not usually think about old cars being in it.
Of the tri five Chevy cars the 2 and 4 dr 1956 and the 1955 are my favorite ones third would be the 1957
Lots of cool vehicles. Too bad the place is in such a mess and lot of them are now parts cars. Only few of them can be saved without changing almost everything on them...
My mom had a '56 Buick Century when I was little in 1972. I was hoping to have it when I got my driver's license but my dad took it to trade for his friend's microwave oven so he could drive to work at his new night watchman job he had just gotten.
Later I was starting high school when I spotted a '53 Plymouth that my mom talked me out of because of the probability that parts were too hard to get a hold of 'though I wondered anyway if maybe that the flathead 6 could be the same engine as in the WW II Dodge Power Wagon and would parts be obtainable from Army Surplus.
The 56 Century is one of my favorite 50s cars. I almost bought one back in the 80s, and I still think about it.
History just sitting there rotting. From a era will never see again. Sad to see them in this condition.
Agreed.
The 56 ford that was inside the shed id be interested in??
I'll ask about it. Go ahead and send me an email at whattherust@yahoo.com, so I can get back to you.
The old car at the 31 minute mark is a 39 ford
Wow. If those cars could talk.
That's right.
At 31:30 looks like a 1937 Chrysler Royal 4 door.
Wow, you know cars. I think you are correct! Very impressive!
Nothing really left in this junk yard besides just junk 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Did you notice the rear driver side door is off a 56 😮😅
