I work at toyota. the corolla was a paint test car if you can see the taped lines on the doors of various paint layers.. the one you said was possibly a venza close but it's a lexus rx. most of the cars there would be scrapped out once a spit in the body was found or equipment (I.e. robots) malfunctioning and hitting cars causing body damage. kinda cool to see where they end up! nice video
yeah, thats why the fucking country is broke and in debt. 20 trillion and counting. Wasting product. Instead of completing the car and selling it for a lower price with a blemish, they throw it away.
YES10 the problem with thatt is the potental of ripping folks off. The car shell is likely a small part of the cost of the vehicle so why take the chance?
My brother does body work on vehicles,his specialty is frame repair. Those vehicles are pulled in production if they failed welding of frame pieces,so my guess is they sold them and body shops lopped off frame parts. At first I thought flood vehicles but nope,those were fresh off the factory floor. Pretty cool actually.
+marcelstjean this video was actually uploaded about a month ago, just got released now though, it was one of the test videos of my new phone i was showing him the quality aha
Wow, I have never seen such a thing! That's very interesting those cars are out there like that due to assembly screw ups. I'm sure someone got their rear chewed out for each of those cars.
Can also be pre-production / production change / equipment calibration dummies. None of those bodies have gone past paint. Anyway, none of those seem to have a VIN (Usually stamped on the firewall).
I love to watch old cars being restored it makes me feel so bad to see these old car seeking out there no man's land I like all what you have been showing I rather watch TH-cam than the television they don't have anything like this on TV I'm an old car man my first car was a 1952 Chevy I was 17 years old I bought it for $1,000 paid $75 a month I was in the military then I bought a 55 Chevy also for $2,000 new I paid $75 a month I couldn't take it overseas with me because I had a lower rank so I left behind in the payment thank you very much it's my life thank you very much the Hawaiian Car Guy aloha
@@gillesthibault429 Why do junkyards do that? I found a really nice green 199(8?) Isuzu Rodeo and a complete white Nissan D21 Hardbody that I wanted to buy at the LKQ in Milwaukee back in June.
Factory rejects my guess. Bodies built out of square or what not. I know back in the day before car companies sold bodies in white to race car builders they would sell them the assembly line rejects. I remember a neighbor of mine bought a chevy factory reject from the Van Nuys plant an had a hell of a time making it square
I work at CAMI ,sometimes a car would come off the track,like in the paint oven,which has tight turns,..all the cars would crash.some times most bodys would have to be cut out to remove the dammaged cars..
At 2:16 you pointed out what looked like floor storage, and I can confirm it is underfloor storage. And, It is quite spacious, as I'd estimate it is 2 to 2.5 times the size of the glove box ( Which as well is spacious on the 06-10 odyssey)
+Mike Utoober Also, I noticed that at around the 3:45 minute mark, you were unclear on whether it was a Titan or a Frontier, and I'd like to inform you that that truck was going to be a Frontier. One easy way to tell the difference is the Frontier has rear windows that have the corner cut off at the end. Another way to tell is the relatively flat roof
Israel Harris I was wondering the same thing ! I worked for Honda Manufactoring of Alabama for almost 11 years.The Odyssey that was shown came from our plant in Lincoln Alabama.Most of the time they are used for destruct and test when you see them like this but wired how they are mixed with other manufacturers !
I've been aware of cars/SUVs that were scrapped by the OEM after structure parts (Frame rails) were discovered to be missing welded nuts on the inside, making it impossible to continue the assembly. I have also seen mispainted cars being scrapped by the OEM (Red tinge in white paint), It's a heartbreaker.
+Alexander Harlow Some of these will be vehicles that, in assembly, have got so for out of spec. that it's uneconomical to rectify them, and some are probably vehicles that have been subjected to random quality testing, or have been used for in-house development and testing, so they will have been put through an entire "life-cycle" on a jig or the like and so aren't fit for anything other than recycling...
Indeed, entire bodies-in-white are just primed and/or painted, scratched at a controlled depth, soaked through and pelted with saltwater and other corrosive solutions to simulate years and years of corrosive exposition.
I work at gm and i know they do this if paint is messed up beond repair or there was a major body flaw on it. They dont fuck around those could be major lawsuits
Man thats still alot of money to throw away! Ive seen subaru crush brand new cars right off the truck. They wouldnt let us even a tire off of any of them. A gaurd stood there till they were all crushed and left.
Often times, the cost of doing a proper body repair exceeds the amount of parts and labor in the vehicle. Today, there isn't a great deal of labor invested in the body shell. Even moderately hazardous jobs such as welding, have been automated. Far less employees getting in the shower of sparks to do their task. A robot is only as good as it's program, and even they fail at times...making scrap, which is a real boon to body shops needing sections of vehicles!
Many new cars from dealership that was flooded ended up look like this because insurance company had the body shop take everything that reusable before bring to scrap yard.
Actually the moral of the story is that modern cares, especially Japanese ones, are tested, have better QC and build quality before they even leave the factory.
great for parts for bodyshops

+Bloodwake14 oh okay. I was wondering what the paint srrips were for. Ans some jink yard jist put them straight in the crusher

+YES10 yeah. yeah, that's why we're in so much debt. Ignorant, greedy politicians might have just the slightest little role in it, too.....
B-Rad not cool, its just sad. I would take one instantly for the right price, but now they are rotting away on a junkjard
They were not "damaged in shipping". These are test cars for either paint or assembly.
would be interesting to go through a yard like this in 1973.
Note that the metal used in those years made the cars almost biodegradable (*especially if the bodies had not gotten through full paint...
This was neat. Never seen any thing like this in any yard I've been too.
3:48 a ghost shut that door lol!

Perfect shells to build race/customs from, or accident resto parts
Factory Rejects. I once worked for Honeywell which regularly bought factory reject vehicles as fleet vehicles.
cool man.
+marcelstjean why does your comment say its from 1 month ago when this videos from yesterday? lol
+paradoxdesigns time travel.
+marcelstjean this video was actually uploaded about a month ago, just got released now though, it was one of the test videos of my new phone i was showing him the quality aha
That's interesting for sure.
Crazzy at least there being sold for scrap better then being scraped right away
Those would be some good derby cars..
Wow, I have never seen such a thing! That's very interesting those cars are out there like that due to assembly screw ups. I'm sure someone got their rear chewed out for each of those cars.
+JRobert111111 this is the first yard i have seen these in too and the only one I ever have. i blieve they were assembly line defects though

I look at all of those and think itd be so cool to buy them and rebuild a write off(like a rolled car) that never got branded.
No VIN. And if the company gave them a VIN, the paperwork that would allow them to be licensed is destroyed. Sorry!

new junk cars...what a concept!!!
What junkyard was that?

They just scrap them because of minor damage like that? wow... at least you can see where future rust issues might come up on newer vehicles. lol

+Smoke 14 oh okay, body lines are so similar on them and with no markings or box or anything other than pretty much a bare cab
That's crazy, are they selling body panels off them or are they going to the crusher??
Why is there so many cars from so many factories in one place?

anything damaged during production is caused by either out of control robots or lazy workers
Do y'all have any Chevy C10
Where is this yard?
Did any have vin numbers?
Those cars are premature babies of steel
Pre productuon ?
Nice way to get skins for race cars and don't have to tear a car to peaces for the skin/body of the vehicle.
crazy7997 good point
crazy7997 put ls3 in them and rocket speed
Makes you want to stop by Honda or Nissan in a big rig flat bed and ask for scrap metal.
Where are these vans located at
can someone find car body parts for 2013-2016 cars ?
use the body to fix yours if is rusted, or damaged in an crash.

Why are they stripped out
+Alexander Harlow most of these never even got assembled actually
+Mike Utoober really I thought they were wrecked cool

Where is this??
in detriot they are supposed to get crushed right away and scrapped
In Detroit half of the people lives under fear
I work at gm and i know they do this if paint is messed up beond repair or there was a major body flaw on it. They dont fuck around those could be major lawsuits
Man thats still alot of money to throw away! Ive seen subaru crush brand new cars right off the truck. They wouldnt let us even a tire off of any of them. A gaurd stood there till they were all crushed and left.
Yea they look like test vehicles
The one he said was a venza I think is a lexus
The “civic” is an Altima
Where is that junk yard?
At 3:14, a BMW X6.
You should crush these premature cars
Often times, the cost of doing a proper body repair exceeds the amount of parts and labor in the vehicle. Today, there isn't a great deal of labor invested in the body shell. Even moderately hazardous jobs such as welding, have been automated. Far less employees getting in the shower of sparks to do their task. A robot is only as good as it's program, and even they fail at times...making scrap, which is a real boon to body shops needing sections of vehicles!
3:14 this is what should of happend to all x6's .
3:17 that was a 2015 Chevy impala
All defective or damaged and they dump them rather then reuse the metal for other stuff
They look like there all new. prob Manufacturing mess ups
how very strange to see these in the condition they are in.
Many new cars from dealership that was flooded ended up look like this because insurance company had the body shop take everything that reusable before bring to scrap yard.
3:10 is a BMW X6
I wonder if rhe cars belonging to the manufactures
If they get damaged it's to big of a liability to the company to worry about fixing them sending them for scrap is easier
2:31 - That is a Lexus RX350
I work at Mercedes and all of our scrap bodies are crushed by a company onsite before taken away.
So nobody can use the scrap for spare bodyparts 😕
Where are you???
Ontario, Canada
VEHICLES WHICH DO NOT MEET BUILD SPECIFICATIONS. TYPICAL TO ALL MANUFACTURES.
3:05 BMW X6
Put there by aliens after they were done with the human occupants.
"done" as in digested?
Those aren't Vehicles those are empty shells.
Empty shells of vehicles, so technically wrong but also somewhat correct.
Dude anyone could buy a clear slate cars and suvs and vans and trucks shells can build a answsome vehicles.
Cannot be licensed. Either No VIN, or the initial paperwork from the manufacturer that must accompany the car for its first registration is destroyed.
That BMW that u didnt know its name is X6
all marked ---> REJECT
its subaru not toyota avanza
Test builds
sad.😭😓
these are just shells
the moral of the story is that modern cars, especially Japanese ones, are junk before they even leave the factory.
