Bob was my dad's best friend and my god father. I know exactly where in the old Brown rd. yard that VW thing sat. I always wanted to buy it off him myself but never had the time for another project. He's still going strong and " you know what that's worth?" Is still his favorite saying. So glad you had the time to spend with him.
Very interesting, and thanks for sharing. I have bought parts from many salvage yard owners cut from the same cloth, it seems. They are special and part of the American car scene that Bob gives us an eye into. I'm so glad Bob gave us this opportunity.
Auto wrecking yards are spiritual some are totally haunted, just sit quietly in one do nothing and take it all in, that VW Thing was a steal!!! Nice job!!!
So was that sound paranormal?

Always a pleasure, Jerry. It's a rare thing, what you're doing. The combination of your own
and your friends' knowledge, coupled with the digging you all get into, yields not only
entertainment but genuine education as well.
I hope younger folks get something from it; I know my older carcass surely does. :-)

I really appreciate that comment because that is what I am trying to do.
@@thewriter2549 Then you are succeeding, sir. :-)
Of course, the bonus is that this work of yours is now archived online
for future generations to discover years from now, too - as it should be.
I love junkyards, I'd rather spend a day at a junkyard than a car show. I like the Falcon, I wonder how much he wanted for it. Kinda rough, though.
Yes, and it was hit on the left rear quarter, also.
4 million dollars,,,
That Airflow and Thing rocked my world. I would love to walk around this old yard!
I know these videos take a lot of time to produce but they’re really worth it. Good stuff.
Thanks - this is what gives me incentive to do more.
I'll second that Hoss ❗❗
I dealt with Bob some years back,looking for an oil pan for my boys 351 ford p.u. He scratched his head for a minute, went out to an old station wagon in the middle of the yard and opened the tailgate and there it was. Of course he took the old one in trade,hole in all,said he would bang it out and weld it up and resell it. That yard was something else when it was full .
Amazing recall! Great story and insight into this disappearing segment of American culture, another casualty of the computer age.
Typical old junkman, Customer: "How much for this 4'' red wire on the ground?' Junkman: "Oh that red wire, well that's the one everyone wants, I'll need top dollar for that." Lol that's usually why they still have this stuff. In my experience......
Yeah, but back then it was the customer dealing with one person. Now, the customer is bidding against the whole world on their computers!!
Spennyman10 yeah no kidding. I mean, spending $350, for two or three little parts of cheap scrap metal like that. What a waist of money. What a shame. I mean, there’s so many things you can do with that kind of money. In this particular video episode, the old white haired junkman definitely looks like an old greedy profiting bastard. That’s all he is to me...! Some people would have to work their ass off, throughout a whole entire week, before they could lay their hands on that kind of money. Thank you. Johnny from Montreal, Canada.
@@jeantetreault132 Hey why don’t you call the govt. snitch line and tell them he won’t give it to you for free.

I couldn't have said it better. They always say oh that's worth a lot of money but they still have it after years and years sitting there or they want to much money for a rust bucket and it will sit there till dooms day and never get sold. Take the money while you can i say let people buy them and restore them. Quit hanging on to cars that will never get restored or sold. Ughhh it kills me to watch these videos when they won't budge on price and it will sit there and rust away.
Always count on variety in your car and truck appreciation. Excellent narration. Thank you for sharing these time capsule works of art in design.
I used to buy many car parts from auto junk yards, I built a few motorcycles from parts motorcycle junk yards using parts from any bike part that I thought would look good. My last build was from parts from Harley ,Triump, Honda, Suzuki, and a few other parts that I thought I could use. The bike wouldn’t win any bike shows for beauty, but it was fast enough that I was able to win enough street racing in only India weekend to pay cash for a Ranchero to haul my bikes and parts around... I found a nice set of Chevy bucket seats in a junk yard to fit my Ranchero and a wooden steering wheel. I really enjoyed rummaging through auto junk yards. Even ended up managing one for a short time after I retired from the Army.
This may be a 'junkyard', but it's *PARADISE* to me! ....Loved those wagons and the ET story/connection is cool! :D
I love walking through junkyards may not need to buy anything but I still like walking through them just to see what you can find
Those boys sippin that moonshine... “drone”... 🛸
Soon to be .05 a pound by the trailer load.
Fun tour. Like your narrative descriptions of the old cars and junkmen. Thanks
Thanks, I learned a lot that day everybody. Buying old cars that need work is much harder than buying restored or nice running cars.
Thank you for taking us with you and your friends in interesting stories about cars and their owners as always! I love the way you tell us about, your voice, your sense of humor... You are an awesome narrator! Always can't wait for the next. I appreciate that! Thank you from over the ocean ;-)
The old man finds more comfort in having the lawn ornaments than cash In the bank. He wouldn't want to sell the for cash. He'd rather have them sit around his yard giving him a connection to the past. That is why he is asking for unreasonably high prices. While he himself looks like he might "fall over" any minute
I think he's just a greedy old man. Trying to milk unreasonably sums of money out of car enthusiasts who'd despereately want to buy them and make them like new. He knows they love these old cars and could perhaps be so crazy to pay whatever he asks for the corpses. Nobody else would even want to buy them.
@@attiylanen all good points
Just greedy. All these people think their shit is worth good money. They'd rather it sit and rot than sell it for anything reasonable.
"I got people that want these parts."
Yeah, sure, that's why they're sat rotting away.
I will say this, if they were closer, I would damn sure pay him the 8 grand he asked for the 3 wagons.
@@shaunclifton5281 fucking right!!!
Enjoyed the tour today! Alot of great cars there. Love the station wagons!
Thanks 👍
👋😉🤚
I would rather go to Jerry Heasleys Place Than Vegas or Disney !
I love listening to Jerry say car.
i was 10 when i used to go to a1 wrecking yard , he had some of the neatest hemi,s i have ever seen , plus he would stack those cars 3 to 4 high , im mean his 2 yards were always full and some of the stash cars were a sight , he had a 67 camaro sitting under a tree with a v8 and 4 speed but it was rough i think he wanted 2k for it then , probably got 3 times that for it, i would go up the highway west to sims wrecking , old man sims was a bit easier to deal with.
What paperwork did your friend get with the VW Safari? Was he able to register the car and get a title?
Screaming deal on the thing!! I would have heave double! Good score
Love the wagon
Another good video Mr. Jerry!!!
I appreciate that!!
great content!
Another good one Jerry .I wish you would put a new one up ever day you the best
Thanks, means a lot to me.
Me to
Congratulations on 100000 subscribers! 🎊
Thank you!! You know I wrote magazine articles forever and now video!!
Some cool junk.
I even appreciate the little extra cab Toyota pickup beside the building at the end of the video.
The D500, would have had a Dodge Hemi? In Canada they only made 150 Swept side trucks, and thevguy on the curiosity Inc channel found one sitting in a junk yard.
It'$ BumfcUKville , THE GR8 CANADIAN HOCKEY TOWN...GO LEAF'$ GO....you did not want to find yourself in their dre$$ing room as a little boy in the 70's & 80's
That dodge I'd clear coat it, put some cragars n some BFG t/a radials and a built up 383 or 440 and go have fun
patina look is overdone and screams "i dont have enough money to do it right"
I remember those VWs! Yes they were called (and advertised as) the Thing. I never knew they were also called "Safari".
I want to pay for those 3 wagons sooooo bad. I love Mopar wagons, and own a few myself.
Send me an email - jerryheasley@gmail.com
@@thewriter2549 Thanks so much, Jerry, but the transportation would kill me. I am in Florabama. Having built a few , his price is Excellent for all 3 to me. I sure do Appreciate it though. That D500 and an entire spare wagon to go with it is killing me. Man !
I have been there!! I believe the spare wagon is complete, too, as is the D500.
@@thewriter2549 Amazing. I gave $3500 for a Chrysler hardtop wagon in about the same condition as the bronze spare , so I agree with him on $8000 for all 3.
I would love to say thank you and God bless you for saving rescuing those old cars please please please don't hold them and don't let them sit there rotting anymore if you can't make all at least make some available so maybe some of us out here could come and get one and put it back on the road and give us a chance to live a dream that we thought might be dead as I personally would cut off one of my two balls to have a few of those cars and again thank you for posting and making this video old guys rule !!!! 🤯😎
I could spend days walking and crawling around a junkyard. There is an abandoned one up the road from my house and want to walk around it so bad it hurts, but I don't want to get arrested for criminal trespassing!
I saw some really nice tin grille Dodges in there, especially the '79 pop top Ramcharger. I would love to get mg hands on all of those...
George ! 🎸🎶🎸🎶🤘
I believe the alien story, I don't think this man bullshits anybody...
I'm looking for a 54 Pontiac/backhalf, no title needed. Do you remember a place where I could find information on one?
Great video
Great little slice of America right there !
Thanks Bubba, and just what I was after.
The 1rst version was call The Thing.
And I was broke down in that town for a week dam I missed it all
The old Buick at 0:27, is a 1948. Was it for sale and what's the contact info? I have my Grandfather's '48 Roadmaster that I am restoring and can use a parts car. Too bad all of these great old places are disappearing.
Tipical junkyard owner u know what that's worth 1000 bucks il give u 750 nope 30 years later still there!
What is your experience of the modern salvage yard?
@@thewriter2549 I've worked in one for 3 years and my cousin owns one I see him ask to much everyday and it sits for years and than goes in the crusher
Those are some seriously opiated pupils.
Those are clean sierras
could the sound at the end be a giant beehive/Or the soon to be notorious Asian Murder Hornets?...Or a real f18 Hornet flying hi above gives off a similar buzz/ howl. Or to be practical Perhaps just the angry bees in one of the out buildings telling you to stay back?
I enjoy the videos alot. If you don't mind me asking, what happened to the fella who uses the crutches ?
Nothing, he was in the latest video about the Moonburst dragster.th-cam.com/video/a2xIPFV3NwE/w-d-xo.html
I've been writing about his barn type car finds since 1990. Michael Lightbourn.
Nobody is going to buy that pink toilet.
313 hemi in that cool pu or is that a max wedge ?
I bought an ole 2001 F150 on it's way to the scrapyard. Why? Because all the parts for it are plentiful and affordable.
These old guys who are very old just cant let go and then when they pass it will all go for beans. It makes me so mad they wont let anything go out of greed and fear they wont be able to survive yet he isn't open for business.
All I see is gold
Nice Thing. Nice alien coverage. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Surprised and spooked me. I was glad to get out from behind that building.
Power of suggestion, I guess. 🤷🏼♂️
Sound was audible.
Jerry Heasley
Yeah, the sound was part of the whole thing.
And you might find a salvage flying saucer somewhere in the yard
Look out for the rattlesnakes they sure will get you
I have only seen a few of those Dodge trucks. Seen one in a junkyard. Wonder how many were built. Great video as always Jerry love watching your channel.
Thanks, and I can't imagine seeing one of those Dodge trucks in a junkyard, must have been like seeing a ghost. Apparently not many got saved. Shared rear fenders with the big Sierra station wagon!!
I would have been drawn to that Willys IMMEDIATELY. The Thing came out when I was a teen and it was a HUGE BOMB. Too damn ugly with a Bug's motor in it (so you had NO POWER).
Nice
Thanks

Prize is junkyard locations, please. 😊
You can track them in your area. The good stuff gets moved to another location.
7:20 Nothing laying there in that shit hole for another 10 years.
old man almost didn't take what he agreed to. Buyer basically pushed the money in his hands. He knows he overpaid...but was trying to push money in his hands to see if he would actually sell anything else.
Pain in the ass get titles cleared in Oregon I'd be all over that
An active military member can get your title.
It's very simple: if the military member has a home of record in a state which will register without title, you sell him the car. He gets the car registered and licensed in his state, then sells the car back to you at a tidy profit.
Now you have a registered car, you take it to your DMV and they will register it no hassle, and some states (Colorado for sure) will cut you a new title.

It's hard to make a deal with these guys. Best to stay in touch with family and when they die they call and give it away. My son showed me a 72 Chevrolet half ton step side, lift kit, winch, 327. Been parked 10 years I offered 5000, was told no. Will take 12000 to restore and will sit there for 20 more years. Guy has an old pro stock drag car in his garage.
Perhaps you could email me, Scott. The old pro stock drag car sounds like an interesting story, which might work for my monthly column with "Hot Rod Magazine" and in video, as I did with this Moonburst dragster. My email is jerryheasley@gmail.com
My son works on guys farm in winter. I will have him get picture of it and send. We live in Marysvale UT. It's ATV tourism town in mountains. Paiute trail is here, 100s of miles old mining roads. I know where all the old cars are. Had a guy in Richfield don't know if he's still there he was from CA had a small warehouse stuffed with movie cars he would rent to movies. Doubt he's still around, I traveled his yard 20 years ago.
Hey, call Mike and Frank. Pickers.
You gave the answer away by highlighting it.
I thought I had fixed that - spell check got me.
Oh I see. Great video anyway, I enjoy all your videos. Always great content. ✌
In a short time you will be able to buy the car you want at the estate sale for a fraction of todays ask.
Didn't see anything for me, looking for Studebaker pickup truck...
Junk yards, drive-ins, cigarettes and guns are all drifting away as people die off and their kids turn to electronics.
Be careful about what you say about those aliens....you almost make sense...🤫
8K for three wagons...
We had a junk yard in Sussex County nj named after it's owner Gordy. It was operational from probably the 1950s up till the turn of the century. You could bring your own tools and remove any parts you wanted. You would walk around and find what you wanted. Those days are gone , at least in the woke state of nj
Guy at that age wouldn't take 8k for 3 bomb out wagons!!! When he passes it will all be sold for scrap, because his kids will only remember that its junk they lived with. Its tuff to sell stuff sometimes, but when you get old and your family doesn't want it, take the cash and have fun!
the name this car on Brasil : CANDANGO.
Fun times in NM! But, modern televised auctions have made POS cars worth a mint because of idiots with too much money that know nothing about cars. Artificial prices are ruining the old car hobby.
I've heard this many times. However, think about it. Low prices offer no incentive to save old cars. High prices offer a huge incentive to save old cars, which creates growth for the hobby. Passion drives prices higher, leaving those of us who cannot afford the cars of our dreams to the blame game. I feel your pain. It is my pain, too. It is the pain of many.
@@thewriter2549 I feel no pain. I am in the business of automotive restoration in Texas. I know every aspect needed to survivive where 99% fail in this profession. I am an astute observer of the trends and hobby. I have a completely new early 20's age group that thinks an old Pinto or Vega is worth $10k not running, but they wouldn't give $5k for a restorable Duesenberg. THAT is painful to watch. The other group is inheriting Daddy's money. They don't care a damn thing about cars. They just want to be seen driving something OTHER people think is cool. They won't wait to get their own, they want something now, so they pay huge sums of money being selfish. They pay huge stupid amounts of money because they think that if everyone else is bidding on it, it must be COOL to have. Thus, making everyone with a Ford Grenada think that their car must be worth a fortune because it is original, with patina. I call bullshit!
Interesting, an old Pinto or Vega?
@@thewriter2549 If you can believe it, I have a customer who searched for a Pacer for 2 years, before paying $9k for one that had decent glass, and went could drive around the block! I would guess his age about 25 or so. I also have a friend who has a Pacer and a Gremlin. They are NOT for sale. He believes them to be hidden gold. Did I say he was a nut!?
Good info to know. I'd like to do a video on finding a Pacer or a Gremlin. Know of one, undisturbed, let me know. I'll go along and video.
Bunch of junk looks like it's all in the right spot
All this will be cleared and put in the compactor in a few years. It's all still sitting there because he thinks it's all worth something. Let's be real, say he was giving all this away for free, who is going get up off their arse and go to this place with a trailer, spend a day dragging out a rusty heap that would cost thousands of dollars to restore? I thought so, not many takers, so who the f**k in their right mind would be willing to pay to do it? Lol This collection is doomed.
Morris McKinnon have you seen this happen a lot? In my experience, every yard iv seen closed gives plenty of opportunity to purchase what’s there and only the truly junk gets scrapped
@@TronVila I clear yards like this every few weeks because the owners think they're immortal. It then gets saddled on the next of kin who usually have no interest whatsoever in the contents, only the land and what it's worth. I can't save the stuff I scrap because I'm not rich and can't afford to restore something like a gull wing Mercedes, yes, I scrapped one of those! it's heartbreaking but the reality is there's more junk out there than there are people with the money to do anything to save it.
@@morrismckinnon6047 Yep, been their done that, dealt with more than one widow who just wanted all the rusted junk gone from the property as she was going to sell everything and go live with one of her kids or a rest home.
Those station wagons would have sold for hundreds, not thousands IF you could find a buyer in the time frame you had to clear the lot.
Most of the time almost all of it got scrapped.
If the old guy had sold it to whoever had cash in hand when he was alive he would have got hundreds of thousands, the widows or kids had to pay us to haul it all away.
@@iknklst I often clear out yards like this, been doing it for years. It's the same story every time. This is the "crazy uncle" that lives out in the sticks with vultures for family just waiting for him to pass on. When he does, the next of kin has no interest whatsoever in the contents, only what the land is worth. A few months later you see a housing development. I can tell you from experience that every one of these places that gets built on, the land is of extremely poor quality and never gets cleaned up properly. The ground is so contaminated that nothing ever grows properly. The chemicals from decades of scrap cars are deep in the ground, it actually rots the foundations of the buildings and their excuse is, "well, you got to expect a little movement in new builds" Well, expect to see that movement for as long as you live there! So good luck to anyone who decides to buy one of those overpriced sardine tins where a yard used to be.
Better to let it rot than make a buck and put it to good use.

You know it pisses me off sometimes. How the older generation Acts. The guy is apparently in his late 70s or in his early eighties. I'll be 50 next year. And and the older generations got to realize somethingyou have to start letting this stuff go and educate the younger generation because you can't take this stuff with you when you die. I have a lot of stuff and I've been teaching newer generation and I've been selling. I hope us older guys teach the younger generation. And to all your old farts we can't take those parts with us and most of our family members are that are not interested in it they just think it's junk and they will let it go for peanuts. So sell to the younger generation and let them restore their cars .because when you get up there in age . You get attached to everything.
I agree! I actually stared getting irritated with the sun visor negotiation. "It's got good parts"
And did you know that that same Sweptside pickup's tailgate was used through the 1980s on stepside trucks?
I did not know that, very interesting, and nobody mentioned that when we took the photos. I'm trying to think which 1980s stepside trucks.
Crazy old car hoarder.

Don't sell it old man.

That junk will be there when he's dead and all that crap will only cost you what it cost to haul away....
Hate to say it but most of that stuff will be there when the man dies. Be better to sell it all for one price then be done with it
Gross! International house of poison

I have a father in law that has a bunch of vintage jaguars and beamers that need work but he wont sell them i mean an engine for a jaguar runs 12 grand. Older people hoard shit they don't need and will live on the edge than part with what they have and live like kings it doesn't make any sense and i don't care what they say about oh i grew attached. Use your dam mind and sell it so someone else can exp. some enjoyment for themselves and preserve the past for the future. To me its just pure selfishness. Letting the past just rot in a dam yard! Whatever!
Typical hoarder, doesn't really want to sell anything.
At front, he said he sold 3,000 cars.
@@thewriter2549 He probably sold 3,000 cars when he was an active salvage yard, bet he doesn't sell many now.....
