My boyfriend's grandpa built those Studebakers. He worked in Indiana from 1950 until the plant closed in like 1962. Family always had a Studebaker car back then.
Hurts my heart to see any classic crushed but when they have no value besides scrap it's the right thing to do. I agree with some of the others. There is a fortune in trinket value there. People are always wanting the original scripts and dash stuff, door handles etc. Some of the window regulator's and channels are not reproduced. It took me a year to find a good original aluminum Corvair steering gear to reverse for my rat rod. Paid $75 for it. Bet there was a good one in the wagon. Great video Cowboy. Thanks
He was but he sat too long, he needed to get the word out way before he sold the property. I'd imagine like most old guys he probably wasn't very tech savvy. Either way he probably made more on scrap than what he had in them.
You called it Cowboy! The instant Delilah's fork hit the '60 700 sedan, I yelled "ahhh"! I'm gonna cringe seeing the '61 Corvair Lakewood get mashed.....especially seeing as I could use the hatch and rear bumper, for my newly acquired 62 wagon! Logistics is the only reason I didn't reach out to you Cowboy, and try the get those parts after your original livestream. I'm glad team TexMex were the ones that mashed her though! Keep on keeping on Cowboy! 👍🏻👊🏻
good save on the hood ornament:-) Lotta Fiats...that wagon is rare...the mustard car with black stripes is a Renault LeCar...check out its wheels...count the lug nuts...its a unique one for sure...Always happy to see Ford trucks of the 60s and 70s saved...that unibody is a rare beast...common rot at bed front/cab rear area. You mentioned prior about nobody emailed you or whatnot...Ive not seen any ways to reach out to ya Cowboy:-)
Both those little wagons are scarce. Guaranteed somebody was cryin lol. The corvair wagon had a taller roof than regular corvairs like 2 inch higher, you noticed all the missing glass I'm guessing. Windshield and doors don't interchange with other corvairs. I'm surprised how much was left of the little blue one, kind of a shame. I had a scrapyard owner tell me once - " It all comes here, that truck you're towing with, the trailer, it'll all come to the scrapheap someday. It's as sure as death n taxes." Simply put, he's right. Enjoy it while you got it haha.. Thanks for sharing
Most of these had been in a field for the better part of a century. You can see the condition even before Cowboy crushes them. Rust on every piece of metal, forks going through floorboards when trying to lift a car, the roof coming off from the lightest touch, rear glass falling out without even breaking on one because there was nothing left of the gasket. Most of the fabric is so rotted that on many of the cars, there's no upholstery left at all, just rusty springs where the driver seat used to be. I love classics and it's sad to see them get crushed, but most of these cars are so far gone that you'd have to replace pretty much every part in order to save them. I don't know the owner, but I wonder if collections like these simply get overwhelming after a while. It starts out as a passion, but there aren't enough hours in the day or money in the bank. Also, like Cowboy said, many of these cars have been picked clean. I see pieces left that could be saved, such as glass and trim, but I'd like to think that what we see missing -- dashboards, doors, even engines -- has gone to save other Studebakers and other classics elsewhere. And hey, Cowboy saved that hood ornament. One more cool trinket for the collection!
Every car can be restored. But spend 50k and a lot of time, if you can buy the same car for 20k. Cars that have been in the forest for a long time are often completely rotten, especially those that have been under pine trees.
Speaking about Hornets, I ended up dealing with a shitload of them today ,🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 stupid hornets decided to build a nest inside a new GMPT transmission still in its wooden crate ,the crate is literally filled with a giant hornet nest inside of it ,that's one crate challenge I won't try to do until winter hits & then open it ,I just hope that they don't mess up the actual transmission that's inside, they are over $5800 bucks new ! ,probably drill a small hole in the crate at night & either squirt wasp killer or WD40 in it ,but definitely not going to open it
As a Certified Car Nut it is hard to watch these get crushed, But , they are really bad. Nothing to hold on 2. You make it very entertaining. I used to own a 53 Studebaker Land Cruiser. We're different, we Studebaker people.
@@CowboyCarCrushing : see the reflection of you in the window of the loader. you know the jeans yer wearing with the flap in front of yer belly. Had a alabama GF once .. she called those bubba pants 🤭🤭🤣 Dunno how you call them. my poor excuse is that iam dutch and live in the netherlands. ( can give you the dutch name do )
A shame the current land owner didn't decide to pull all the cars out and line them up for an auction. Looks like there is plenty of room to have done that. Would have generated a lot more money for him and made a lot of classic car owners happy as well have helped the people looking for glass, trim, and drivelines. A lot less profit in paying to have the cars crushed. Most time the buyers just take a few parts and leave the bodies behind for crushing. Would have been a win/win for both parties. Too late now...
Hey Cowboy! The wagon was a series of Corvair given the name Lakewood. They are fairly rare to find, but I have seen some, and got to drive one many years ago. You could get some nice trim levels on them. Did you know Corvair was also available in a van and pickup truck version too? They were called Greenbriar and Rampside respectively. Have a great day my friend!
@22:10 🤣 I also like them GM corvair cars , but I also enjoy Cowboy 🤠 prodding & poking those forks thru it too & putting the big squeeze on it as well
The Chevrolet Lakewood is a four-door station wagon produced by Chevrolet for the 1961 model year. Chevrolet dropped the "x-wood" names for their station wagon models at the end of 1961 so the 1962 Corvair Station wagons do not continue the Lakewood name
Why did you not set the crusher up, closer to the bulk of the cars? Efficiency? I5t appears that there is enough equipment on site to give you a flat playing field!
Any fluids and fuel are drained before they crush the cars. That's why he puts cars with fluids in them up on that rack prior to putting them in the crusher. What you don't see in this video (but do see in many others) is Mario or another helper draining fluids.
It was hard to watch. I've had 7 Studebakers. When the '64 was crushed, and you said that there weren't any more, there was not much left of a Studebaker Hawk. I think that it was white. The front clip was gone, along with the doors. The '62 Hawk I had was my favorite car ever.
A good friend and mentor wisely told me to never get too attached to ANY car/truck or motorcycle as 99.9% of All of them get scrapped eventually. Its just rusty metal and plastic...with too much patina.
Howdy Howdy 🤠 that is some amount of studa's Cowboy 5 in the crusher. Working on a Saturday Cowboy your brilliant getting them crushed. Orange car was a Renault 5👍🤠👌
Just to give you perspective on how long those cars have been sitting frozen in time, look at those bias ply tires on most of them. we have since gone to radial tires for safety and performance.
You would have guessed wrong. Old cars are basically hollow thick cans New cars are a lot heavier due to the safety cage designs and all the safety equipment.
Say cowboy, any chance if you get any time I could buy some if the scripts or logos off any cars not just these ones? I know you’re busy most of the time and don’t have time to grab any, but if you do I’d gladly pay! I’m not a fan of studebaker but a couple of them still had the model and names on the sides and I’ll admit even though they were all rotten, as a car trinket collector watching the old studebaker script get crushed on that fender made me a bit sad. Anyway, thanks for bringing fun and always interesting videos, I’m so glad I found your videos, I love watching them every day after I get home from work! Keep up the great work!
Hey cousin don't talk bad about Saturn's. They were the best crappy car ever made. I had mine for 15 years sold it running and the person I sold it to years later sold it running also.
by the end of the video i was feeling good ,, glad to see those piles of crumbly steel going to the death tip or pit before somebody thought to save them and drive to their own deaths all were 40 years past restoration min
howdy cowboy ,,, oh my i was horrified some cars looked really good still , but seemed nobody wanted them or owner was spiteful and refused to sell them cause people dont want to pay
What is the story of it I would assume that the owner probably died and I also assume he must have loved Studebakers it's just hard for me to believe that if somebody likes them that much they would crush them so I'm assuming the owner probably passed away
Ignorance, grew up in the Studebaker parts business. He has no clue how much those fenders are worth. Could pay his mortgage for months. Then crushed an Avanti, it’s fiberglass. Geez
Where are the customers? A member of the Dallas Studebacker club was out there. He didn't take any of em and they were free. He also doesn't know the value? If there are no customers it has 0 value
@@CowboyCarCrushing You contacted someone not in the parts business, that was smart. There’s Studebaker parts businesses, not hard to find on the internet. They all sell used/salvage parts. My father is one and travels all over the country buying parts Studebakers. If you part it out it’s very valuable, if he has to part it out the cars worth less but still more than scrap. Because one guy came out that has no knowledge of salvage and parts just means you wasted your time. The value on fenders are close to $5k per side
