Doesn't matter, you still would not have really seen anything anyway. The main charater is Tom Cotter and all you see is him bullshiting about a lot of bullshit and not really looking at the cars. I like the show and I like him, but not the content. You don't really get to see the cars and best ones there are the ones he doesn't really know anything about and won't be shown that much if he doesn't bullshit about it.
GETUP AND GO I thought he was going to be a jerk at first honestly, turned out to one of the best ones. Kinda makes or breaks the video’s for me on this channel. Not a huge fan of the main host. Not complaining either.
Red is right about certain people say they want their stuff but never come back for it. Just like storage units and stuff left behind. I work in the dealership parts world. When you order a part special order, it's pre-pay because if we didn't require pre-pay we'd be loaded-up with special order parts. The crazy thing is the amount of pre-paid parts people don't ever come back for. Expensive stuff too. People are weird.
People change their mind or can't stay focused on a project or idea. I have 3 projects. Just in one day while thinking and planning and working on one car plans changed. You start a project you find out how much it cost or it turns out it was not an easy fix so things change. Also sometimes you make a deal sleep on it and the next day you don't want it. The wife and I went car shopping and the first car we looked at I knew we would buy it but the wife had to look at other cars. She realized the first car was in excellent condition but it had been sitting in a garage for ten years I told her I will get it running. So all of us change our minds after thinking and something else better gets in the way or we are too dumb to make a decision.
You always talk about the Hagertty price for concourse so forth and so forth. To get that 45 thou for concourse condiction, you would end up spending 70 plus! The people who have these car's are told or hear these prices you are giving. And think I can sell this 2000.00 car for 6-8000$ not realizing that someone is going to have to put thousands into the project!
That's one rare Nash. I'm an owner of a 1957 Nash Ambassador, there are only a handful of them that have survived. Nice to see that it's definitely restorable. It would have had an AMC 327 V8 originally. AMC's first V8 engine.
OsbornTramain You are wrong AMC's first V8 engine was manufactured in 1956 and was a 250. American Motors' first V8 in-house engine, the 250, was used in AMC automobiles from 1956 through 1961 and made its debut in the Nash Ambassador and Hudson Hornet "Specials" of 1956. Just thought I would help you keep the history going.

@@GETUPANDGO Lost? Or saved? The owner of this yard made a concerted effort not to crush anything pre-1970. A lot of these cars wouldn't exist at all anymore if it wasn't for him. Gotta look at it from a different perspective sometimes.
Have to agree with the Hagerty statement: those cars were considered worthless pieces of junk for decades and most hoarders or junkyards could have made more money at the time just crushing them. Now that some of them are desirable and/or worth a lot people start lamenting that they are left to rot. If I’d have had a dozen split window vw buses in my backyard for the last few decades, I might even now decide to hold on to them for a little longer, prices are still going up....
Anybody that buys anything from there should post it ,I know Guys that have salvageable Cars that they will never get around to restoring ,But the Dream is to strong to let go ...Then the Guy dies and the Kids let stuff go cheap ...

It's time to start selling cars. But the fact is they all cost more to fix than what they are worth. So they will sit and rot away. Even if you got a car for free it is still not worth it.
@@Hagerty It is an honor to actually receive a reply from you of all people. I cannot say enough good things.

yup that stuff will sit there & rot instead of cutting the price in 1/2 & moving a bunch of them out the door with the chance that someone may do something with them
This bothers me too. So many people could benefit from the parts available there. It would do so much for the hobby. But yet "Red" won't even let anyone just look at the place let alone buy anything.
Always excited to see another episode of Barn Find Hunter :) If a 1937 BMW 328 racer can end up sitting in Iowa for decades, then anything’s possible when looking for old cars.
I believe that wheel is a Western Cyclone. American Racing had a similar wheel they called a Vector. They were pretty cool in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
way to much for the Lincoln , i worked next to a junk yard as a kid. they said if a car that came in that was wrecked it had a good motor in it! if the car had no damage to it, had a bad motor in it. this guy is High on his prices
The continental two door is a fine lookin' automobile for sure! . If Jim were to take a pic of each vehicle in the lot and set up a link page ,he might be able to shift them quicker as I'm guessing Red is not a young man and would appreciate a few less things sitting around . Many thanks to Red for helping preserve a little part of history.
Ash qelon very sad but very true breaks my heart seeing people that hold onto these classics thinking they are worth gold, never selling them and never giving them a chance to be what they could be for cheaper.
@@paytonmcdonald5820 What makes this issue all the worse is ppl like hagerty, Mercum and barret jackson, have Bastardize the entire industry on values cost availability for everyone.

I love the cars but man your overvaluing them waaaay too much, that scout would take you 10-15k to fix right. Most of those cars are gonna need interiors, wiring, paint and body, get them running and figure out what put them in the yard to begin with, which in today's market will bankrupt you. This is why there are so many unfinished projects for sale or back in the junkyard, MOST PEOPLE CANT AFFORD TO FINISH THEM WITH THE HIGH AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BUY THEM.
What a waste! It's sad to see so much history left and not sold on or managed. Simple (9:55) Just arrange the cars worth selling and have a mass auction... (you could also use a thing called the internet).

DimZ The owner decided to sell. Red, the owner, might put a car outside the gate every 3 to 5 years just to find out what offers he will get. He has not sold a car in over 10 years and I don't think he will before he dies.
@@mmill6505 Ohh, i see. That's really sad... Let's hope Red changes his mind. It's not like we can take things on the other side and a lot of these cars could be saved.
Yup, "Thanks Tom!" "Great show,Tom!" BULLSHIT! Thanks for driving the prices up out of reach of the average Joe that might actually buy/restore/enjoy these vehicles. Two things can be said about this particular yard; 1) What a waste! 2) And since the old bastard wasn't out there milling around in the background, hopefully he'll kick sometime soon and people will actually be able to get in there and get some use out of those treasures that are going to hell!

When My family lived in So. Calif. in the mid 70's , our dad bought an old junkyard in Ontario Ca. , It was in the desert , all sand , all we had was a phone , and an old gutted travel trailer for an office , no water , no bathrooms , it was not good . One day , we had a Country singer or Musician (Guitars in the back seat , and a Southern accent , cowboy boots etc ) crossing the country from maybe Tennessee to Hollywood ( I wonder who he may have been , would be cool if he became famous ? ) and he ran out of money , he had like 10 bucks left for gas and wanted to trade his nice 57 chevy 4 door , really clean bronze and white , v8 powerglide and We just got in a 62 falcon 6 cyl , 3 speed stick that needed work . I found out it was just a starter solenoid and had it running when he pulled up . We got the falcon for like 35 bucks (cars were super cheap back then ) , the guy asked if I would trade him plus cash . I told him we didn't have a bunch of cash and he said I just need a car that can drive cheap on gas , the '57 wasn't too good on gas in his opinion , and he said just give me 40 bucks and this car and let me drain my gas out . . I told him I just filled the falcon up and drove it a small amount and seemed okay but wasn't sure about the car since we just got it . He said 40 bucks and this car and we shook on it . He drove out happy and my Dad was blown away that I had already swapped the falcon and only had 75 bucks into the 57 . I remember buying so many cars over the phone dirt cheap in those days . I wish I had a camera back then but I didn't .
Nicely done show, obviously many of us wouldn't mind a longer tour or a part II & III. And be interesting to know if viewers here are able to make some deals.
Most guys just aren't willing to do the work to Restore these cars anymore. And the ones that are. Simply lack the means to do so..So they will sit there and be allowed to rot away before selling them to a guy for a reasonable price
You really need to learn how to film with a drone. Flying as fast as you can while panning the camera in the same fashion only makes for unwatchable garbage.
red gets attached to memories of lost attachments..that have been pulled away from him as a child..he collects cars with stories as a lover would collect memories from the past. leave his cars alone..they are his past ...sometimes its not about money...
this video changed the course of my life as a car guy. in december 2019, i contacted this yard with the help of mr cotter and purchased the 1962 ambulance, and while it didnt really go well with that car i cant help but feel like i wouldnt be the same person right now if i hadnt watched this video. im so glad this video was made, not only for me, but because reds yard will live forever here no matter what happens in the coming years.
Every car person eventually meets someone like Red....glad he found "spokesman" to handle things. Most old guys like that end up just sitting on this stuff until they die, and then it all gets scrapped.
I never met or knew my sperm donor of a father,but man I'd love to find out 50+ years since my birth that he has a beautiful collection like this and it'd become my inheritance!!! Man I just love old yards like this!!! Thanks for the tour!!!!! Wow!!!!
16:04 Unfortunately Tom didn't review those two ambulances, very rare to find in the barn find, even some junkyards. Pretty interesting about abandoned professional vehicle story.
WOW! It boggles the mind that such a collection can still exist. Since I'm not Tom Cotter, Barn Find Hunter I'll never get to see it so thanks so much for finding and sharing.
All of them are being crushed right now. The gentleman who owned it passed on and his daughter refuses to sell anything. Many of us have tried to get cars out but couldn't. I have cancer and was hoping to get my last project car fro. There but they were not even interested in helping me with that. Very sad week.
The slant 4 in the Scout is all International. They came in two sizes, a 152 or a 196. The gaskets, distributor cap, points cam, camshaft, crankshaft, harmonic balancer, carb, and block and manifold castings are about the only 4 cylinder specific parts in the engine. Every thing else can be had by ordering parts for either a 304 or 392 International V8. That's how I rebuilt the 196 that was in my '71 Scout....
Please save those Ford Econoline Vans ! There is a facebook page dedicated to 61-67 Ford Econoline vans , and they are always looking for parts, or restoration projects!
Right! He mentions there were a ton of volkswagens at the end of the video too, yet all we saw were a couple of T3's, the same Baja like 3x, and maybe one other beetle. So excruciating!
logginsmcgee I know right...yea I saw the Baja, there was a white bug which looked restorable, then the one with the big dent in the roof..ouch. Damn I just wanted to rescue them all!!! So sad!
Sad but most of the younger generation has no interest in these cars they want the foreign cars in a few more years the price of these cool old cars will start to go down.
Technically it was a Continental , NOT a Lincoln ... On Paper it was a separate marque for a couple of odd years ~ They continued with the "Mark" designation - - - which FoMoCo later didn't regard as TRUE to the "Mark" intention
Great Video! My comment however is the prices you quoted seem very rich! Most of those cars needed to be completely gone over with a few exceptions like the Lincoln . Having countless hours and large investment in parts. And then have a vehicle that's only worth around $50 thousand or so ? Makes sense now why there still sitting there!
The guy that hosts the show will only bullshit about what he thinks he knows about and those are the only cars that he will bullshit about, or the camera person wil actually show for that matter. The drone flyby might show you something but don't blink when watching.
The scout engine is a 172-1/2 . It uses half the components from a 345 International V-8 Engine. The cylinder head will fit either side of the V-8 engine or vice-versa, pistons and rods can be swapped. the four can use a V-8 distributor cap. the valve cover will fit a eight or the eight can yield two valve covers for the 4. The concept was ahead of it's time.
Not quite. The engine in all Scout 80's of those years (61-65) was an IH 152, which was half of the IH 304 V8. IH never did field a slant 4 which was half of the 345, it did however make a 4-196 which was half of a V392. The 196 replaced the 152 as the standard engine soon after introduction of the Scout 800 in 1966, although the 152 lingered as an option for several more years.
A damn shame so many legends of automotive engineering will never have see the light of day...please tell me their is a part 2 to this yard!! The old ambo/coaches particularly intrigue me!!
Here its the 21st Century Some of the roads in Texas not market good, and can get lost on Hwy 77 from Corpus , to Tyler I -35 and Us 59 to far to drive to So Us 77 was it

@@mmill6505 Ohh, i see. That's really sad... Let's hope Red changes his mind. It's not like we can take things on the other side and a lot of these cars could be saved.
Put that damn phone away..Book "value" ruins a lot of sales for people. Stuff is not worth what they say until its restored.
Yup, "Thanks Tom!" "Great show,Tom!" BULLSHIT! Thanks for driving the prices up out of reach of the average Joe that might actually buy/restore/enjoy these vehicles.
Two things can be said about this particular yard; 1) What a waste!
2) And since the old bastard wasn't out there milling around in the background, hopefully he'll kick sometime soon and people will actually be able to get in there and get some use out of those treasures that are going to hell!

@@standurround589 No, more like his grandkids from San Fran will send an accountant who wouldn't know the value of the stuff, send the temps and a portable crusher... kiss it all goodbye baby! 😲😖😬
When My family lived in So. Calif. in the mid 70's , our dad bought an old junkyard in Ontario Ca. , It was in the desert , all sand , all we had was a phone , and an old gutted travel trailer for an office , no water , no bathrooms , it was not good . One day , we had a Country singer or Musician (Guitars in the back seat , and a Southern accent , cowboy boots etc ) crossing the country from maybe Tennessee to Hollywood ( I wonder who he may have been , would be cool if he became famous ? ) and he ran out of money , he had like 10 bucks left for gas and wanted to trade his nice 57 chevy 4 door , really clean bronze and white , v8 powerglide and We just got in a 62 falcon 6 cyl , 3 speed stick that needed work . I found out it was just a starter solenoid and had it running when he pulled up . We got the falcon for like 35 bucks (cars were super cheap back then ) , the guy asked if I would trade him plus cash . I told him we didn't have a bunch of cash and he said I just need a car that can drive cheap on gas , the '57 wasn't too good on gas in his opinion , and he said just give me 40 bucks and this car and let me drain my gas out . . I told him I just filled the falcon up and drove it a small amount and seemed okay but wasn't sure about the car since we just got it . He said 40 bucks and this car and we shook on it . He drove out happy and my Dad was blown away that I had already swapped the falcon and only had 75 bucks into the 57 . I remember buying so many cars over the phone dirt cheap in those days . I wish I had a camera back then but I didn't .
Nicely done show, obviously many of us wouldn't mind a longer tour or a part II & III. And be interesting to know if viewers here are able to make some deals.
Most guys just aren't willing to do the work to Restore these cars anymore. And the ones that are. Simply lack the means to do so..So they will sit there and be allowed to rot away before selling them to a guy for a reasonable price
Finally,someone who actually called it an ENGINE,and not a motor.
Kudos to you sir.
Yes, I call them motors if they are electric and engines if they have explosions on the inside.
You really need to learn how to film with a drone. Flying as fast as you can while panning the camera in the same fashion only makes for unwatchable garbage.
Junkyard?!?! That's a gold mine!!
For sure
red gets attached to memories of lost attachments..that have been pulled away from him as a child..he collects cars with stories as a lover would collect memories from the past. leave his cars alone..they are his past ...sometimes its not about money...
Why does every drone footage clip have to have flips in it?
For fun.
Chevrolet Nova
Oldsmobile Omega
Pontiac Ventura
Buick Apollo
N-O-V-A.... Coincidence..??
THAT was good. I could watch that all day ! Thank you, Tom
Great job !
Tom how can a serious buyer buy 1or 2 of the cars in this yard please let me know will bring a two car trailer
I hate being poor.
Fear not, if you bought one, you'd become poor.
@@Blakelikesfood you've had college.
That tourbus looks just like the one Egg drove in "big trouble in little China".
I agree , I would take that Lincoln home
this video changed the course of my life as a car guy. in december 2019, i contacted this yard with the help of mr cotter and purchased the 1962 ambulance, and while it didnt really go well with that car i cant help but feel like i wouldnt be the same person right now if i hadnt watched this video. im so glad this video was made, not only for me, but because reds yard will live forever here no matter what happens in the coming years.
How many times did you pause it and go back to see what car that was during the fly by?? Be honest... I know I lost count..
The '64 Impala? Yeah, that took me a couple tries, lol.
Some peoples dream is to be rich but my dream is to work at a car yard like this...😀
Every car person eventually meets someone like Red....glad he found "spokesman" to handle things. Most old guys like that end up just sitting on this stuff until they die, and then it all gets scrapped.
Another great episode, production wise this one was one of the best, Thanks Tom and crew
All those big back seats!! How many people conceived in those seats?!
wow that was cool. Thanks for showing us around & thanks to the owner for letting you. It was really interesting.
I love that white scout you was looking at I love scouts anyway
I never met or knew my sperm donor of a father,but man I'd love to find out 50+ years since my birth that he has a beautiful collection like this and it'd become my inheritance!!! Man I just love old yards like this!!! Thanks for the tour!!!!! Wow!!!!
Awesome place, but someday some will close that place and all those cars will be scrapped..
That MADMAX GTO would be sweet with a blower through the hood and those turbines!
The real Mad Max car is an Australian 1974 Ford Falcon.
@@barnabyjones6995 Hey Jeffrey- You are right for sure! I was using the term as the style of the car- not the specific car.
16:04 Unfortunately Tom didn't review those two ambulances, very rare to find in the barn find, even some junkyards. Pretty interesting about abandoned professional vehicle story.
It seems that he walks past professional cars in these yards. That is a shame.
Jim looks like Stuntman Mike from Death Proof,awesome!!!
WOW! It boggles the mind that such a collection can still exist. Since I'm not Tom Cotter, Barn Find Hunter I'll never get to see it so thanks so much for finding and sharing.
I would pay 20$ to get a tour arround
Yeah, me too.
All of them are being crushed right now. The gentleman who owned it passed on and his daughter refuses to sell anything. Many of us have tried to get cars out but couldn't. I have cancer and was hoping to get my last project car fro. There but they were not even interested in helping me with that. Very sad week.
What car did you want?
That was a long two weeks
The slant 4 in the Scout is all International. They came in two sizes, a 152 or a 196. The gaskets, distributor cap, points cam, camshaft, crankshaft, harmonic balancer, carb, and block and manifold castings are about the only 4 cylinder specific parts in the engine. Every thing else can be had by ordering parts for either a 304 or 392 International V8. That's how I rebuilt the 196 that was in my '71 Scout....
was the 304 an amc or did international have their own?
@@gregh7457 It was the entry level International V8. No relation to the AMC except for displacement....
Best yard visit in some time. I'm even sharing the link with several friends..
So you're just going to ignore the line of El Caminos??
That's not Jim.That's ST Peter at the gates of heaven! Loved the red 69 gmc!
First time seeing tom so quite because jim really knew his stuff .
“Ford guy” cant tell the difference in a 428 and a 429? Hmm.
1
Duh...one cubic inch. Don't have to be a "Ford guy" to know that.
That tropical yellow foxbody is rare too
Why no love for any trucks?
Jim couldn’t have been a better host
Shame so many of those cars will die there....
Please save those Ford Econoline Vans ! There is a facebook page dedicated to 61-67 Ford Econoline vans , and they are always looking for parts, or restoration projects!
So many lost and forgotten cars and trucks waiting to be made whole again, to be driven and loved, again.
Unbelievable...of course I paused it at all the Volkswagens😂😂 that poor yellow squareback looked damn nice.
Right! He mentions there were a ton of volkswagens at the end of the video too, yet all we saw were a couple of T3's, the same Baja like 3x, and maybe one other beetle. So excruciating!
logginsmcgee I know right...yea I saw the Baja, there was a white bug which looked restorable, then the one with the big dent in the roof..ouch.
Damn I just wanted to rescue them all!!! So sad!
Sad but most of the younger generation has no interest in these cars they want the foreign cars in a few more years the price of these cool old cars will start to go down.
I've been waiting for someone else to point that out...
Technically it was a Continental ,
NOT a Lincoln ... On Paper it was a separate marque for a couple of
odd years ~
They continued with the "Mark" designation - - - which FoMoCo later didn't regard as TRUE to the "Mark" intention
I'm gonna fix them one day....wait...its later in my life now I better sell them. Too bad not all people come to this realization.
It costs more to fix than they are worth. That's why they are in a parts yard.
Keep 'er Lit. Let 'er Rip! They are not being sold for parts it’s a private collection
Available if you want to pony up the $.
Money talks, BS walks.
That's how you get access to Reds'.
True, but they will never be made again.
I might as well have flown over in an f15
That drone crash at 2:13 :D
Great Video! My comment however is the prices you quoted seem very rich! Most of those cars needed to be completely gone over with a few exceptions like the Lincoln . Having countless hours and large investment
in parts. And then have a vehicle that's only worth around $50 thousand or so ? Makes sense now why there still sitting there!
Thanks for not walking by the Camaros. Great yard!
The guy that hosts the show will only bullshit about what he thinks he knows about and those are the only cars that he will bullshit about, or the camera person wil actually show for that matter. The drone flyby might show you something but don't blink when watching.
The scout engine is a 172-1/2 . It uses half the components from a 345 International V-8 Engine. The cylinder head will fit either side of the V-8 engine or vice-versa, pistons and rods can be swapped. the four can use a V-8 distributor cap. the valve cover will fit a eight or the eight can yield two valve covers for the 4. The concept was ahead of it's time.
Not quite. The engine in all Scout 80's of those years (61-65) was an IH 152, which was half of the IH 304 V8. IH never did field a slant 4 which was half of the 345, it did however make a 4-196 which was half of a V392. The 196 replaced the 152 as the standard engine soon after introduction of the Scout 800 in 1966, although the 152 lingered as an option for several more years.
A damn shame so many legends of automotive engineering will never have see the light of day...please tell me their is a part 2 to this yard!! The old ambo/coaches particularly intrigue me!!
Here its the 21st Century Some of the roads in Texas not market good, and can get lost on Hwy 77 from Corpus , to Tyler I -35 and Us 59 to far to drive to So Us 77 was it
saw a couple sweet square backs in there damn
I was looking at those as well.
There was a mk1 golf (rabbit) cabriolet as well.
