Don't respond to the fake Telegram scam in the comments! It's not me!
Closing ?! NO!
So sad 😞
Man do you have their ebay page?
Edit : or any way to contact them
Looking at money !
@@paille-boy I put his number in the description of the video
@@CountryBoyGasGarage i saw but its pretty hard to contact them like this on the other side of the world x/
So sad to see places like this closing down. Even sadder to crush all that classic iron.
😞
Hope they are dirt cheap or even giving away loot to save it from the mashers
They're not getting very much if they're just crushing everything.
LIBERALISM is a mental disorder
It really is so sad to see all of these perfectly good parts go to waste. I wish I could, save em all
Hopefully someone saves it!
Me too. : (
No doubt, need a trunk lid for a 73charger and can't find one, wish they were closer to me seen some parts that are unobtainium
@@CountryBoyGasGarage can you make a video of these cars getting crushed
@@insmileyfacemur4242 I'm planning on it! 👍
It saddens me to see these kinda things happening, we truly are living in the end times, man doesn't have freedom anymore. Benjamin Martin said "that a Congress can trample a man's rights just as easy as a dictator " and he was absolutely right!
I agree
Amen brother, i crushed cars for 20 years but would never in my life would crush these
Your absolutely correct!!!😡 If places like this with the best stuff around are closing down, then we are. And look up St. Malichi….you’ll see the last 112 Pope’s that will ever be in office. We’re on the last one! This man is correct 😐🙏
Maybe because man has forgotten that we are the masters of congress and the courts, it's our civil rights that we've given up on, it doesn't have to be this way
New junk yards haven't been a thing in decades there hasn't been permits for them in a long time so anything that exists right now is literally grandfathered in the only new junkyard I can think of that's been a thing in the past few years is copart and from what I've been getting it literally want to consolidate everything under them and of course the state doesn't mind because then it's easier to keep in line
Thanks for posting video I seen a truck I've been looking for since 2014, I called them the next morning after watching and bought it. im driving 5 hrs tomorrow to pick it up
YES! That's So Great!
What kind of truck? Out of curiosity
Fuckn' A! Save what we can!
@@BobTheBreaker9 1966 c30 panel truck that had been altered when new for the logging industry by pacific couch works, the roof has been cut off which is a real shame but I really needed the frame for another one I'm putting back together and the lower half of body will patch up another one.
@@CountryBoyGasGarage try going to WHITES GARAGE located in Germanton NC which is near Winston-Salem NC . They have a salvage yard the size of a small town ! Vehicles going back to the old Ford model-T up to present day are there .
The more I watch this the sadder I get. This is a hard choke. Especially when it's forced on someone and especially when you know you're not gonna find these cars or parts anywhere else😔😖😣this is why we gotta get the next generation into caring for these classic peices of history so they don't die with us.
Exactly! Thank You Craig.
I'm 23 starting a hoard won't say I'm proud but we got the sickness too I'm 4 cars in so far a 82 z28 3 sp 74 Buick Apollo 350 auto 78 triumph spitfire roller and a rusty little 69 Amc rambler i6 199
@@redlight3932 i started my hoard when I was 15 or so. My dad got rid of all my snowmobiles, dirtbikes and there parts a long time ago. I still have a 67 international 4×4 1100 truck, a 69 gto RA400, a 76 chevy 4×4, a 90 z24 cavalier, an 89 z24 cavalier, a 76 biesemeyer jet drag boat, and my current most sought after project a 1950 studebaker champion business coupe ( a tribute to my grandfather's 50 stude he built in 54 olds rocket engine built by a midget race car engine builder. ALL the tricks done to the engine. Bored, decked, custom ground camshaft, .100 cut off the heads ( higher compression ) full custom exaust. He said it would bark the tires into OVERDRIVE!. Keep in mind that was on 50s era rubber. He sold the car when he knew my dad was going to be born. I KNOW it killed him to get rid of it as it was by FAR the fastest car on the road in the state. Im going a bit more modern with my build. No LS engine tho. EVER. I have a stout 407 small block chevy and a muncie 4 spd for mine. Im working on a custom frame currently and building/metal working the firewall to eventually have a big block chevy. G body front alston chassis works back half. Ford 9 inch rear. 4.56 with a detriot locker. 31×18.5×15 rear tires. Some very .....unique hubs front and rear. Ill also add. I build resto mods and do concourse restorations for a living. So the only hold up for me is TIME.....and money. Lol. But one piece at a time still gets it done right.
Good luck with that
They're too busy trying to figure out what gender they are, rewriting history and canceling culture
The sad part is everything is going to be crushed if it's not sold
But I'd bet the owner of the yard is still asking top dollar for everything up to the last day
It breaks my heart to see these places closing down. There's just so much good usable stuff in that yard. I picked from that yard for my first car (68 impala) ugh that's tough😣
I hope someone will come a get alot of it.
If I wasn’t thousands of miles away, I’d road trip there in heartbeat. We need to save as many of these classics as we can while we still have time
As a young 22 year old my self I love old cars and it sucks to hear that all of this has to go I think all these old cars have stories and I wish I could save them all or just keep them how they are
Well junk yards are getting to be rare to find. I always used to enjoy what I call a walk in the park going through the junkyard. It's a bummer..
Yeah it sucks 😕 Thanks for watching Bill!
I used to do the same.i really stinks to have your way of life changed because politicians will have their way
These places are a walk back in time ! Very sad to see these rusty gold spots close ! 😢
Yeah Jason i had 2 junkyards a half mile away from me, 1 is my uncle's and the other the gentleman shut down in late 90s . But my uncle still going but with all codes and permits he was going shut down a few times. But through the years i seen the crusher come in so many times crazy. Great video Bud Glad to see some people are buying some things.
Hey Thanks Lonnie!
Some great iconic stuff out down there, despite the lack of motorbikes I can see American Pickers having a field day down there! 😅
It's a damn shame regulations are out of hand. Cool old bone yard for sure.
What regulations are causing this to be closed down? Probably grandfathered in zoning and it is excellently managed in an industrial area. No environmental problems evident. If anything it would be property taxes.
My first car was a 69 impala SS, so that will tell you my era and it breaks my heart seeing all the cars I grew up with going away! I would prefer a 60's to 70's era car to a new one any day!!
I wish my Grandfather was here he would be happy to answer all the questions about the vehicles. He knew what a vehicle was from a 100 yards and he was 85-90 % correct about the year and make of them.
Oh no! That's so sad! We in Germany don't know junkyards with this special American spirit. But I love it!
Please save all you can get! (for me, it's impossible to help (because the route from my home to Springfield is about 13 hours and I have still school), but my fingers are crossed!)
So have a great day, you heroes of American car history
Hey Thank You Lukas! I appreciate you watching!
Maybe you are too young, but I still remember German junkyards with a similar spirit. All have closed down, some a very long time ago. Our society is much too wasteful.
This makes me wanna buy all “junk”yards to save this amazing machines
WOW ..that Chevy flat bed is awesome 👍. Awesome chunk of history everywhere ya look❤❤
Alot of history
I think back when I scrapped so many nice 60s and 70s muscle cars back in the 80s and early 90s because of little things like bad transmission or motor knock! Like you said they were a dime a dozen back then! Sure wish I'd put them away instead. I'd be rich now!
Right! Totally wish I would of hung onto some of my classics!
That's the same with all of us. If we only knew THEN what we know NOW.....
God bless you and your so true and right about how these things are disappearing daily and the government and states are happy to help make sure that they are all done altogether.
Just when I didn’t think that the world could get any worse. Man this sucks. Back in the 70s we used to go on Saturday and all ways came home with parts. Damn
😞
Think how much more efficient and less emissions vehicles have become since these were made. The communists greens are still complaining its not good enough😂
The silence, the fog and all the rust makes it look like a post apocalyptic mad max world
It's sad to see classic iron go to the shredder/crusher, but I pulled the lever on many cars that should have been saved when I worked in a junkyard. Myself and a couple of guys I worked with saved quite a few, but our resources were limited--can't save em' all... 😥
Menakjubkan gudang sparepart terbanyak untuk alat alat mobil yang langka sungguh menakjubkan terima kasih !
The sad part is that all that steel in that yard from what I can see is rust free. I have a couple classic car yards around my place but it's in the rust belt where if you find something it's going to need a new floor new fenders new quarters and hope the frame is not rotten.
Yeah I hope someone can save it!
Jason thank you for sharing the info. I am sadly disappointed that places like this are closing and history being deleted. I will visit the place to see what I can find.
Thanks Steve!
watching the video, there are lot of good parts to save . unfortunately for cars resting,.....their fate is the crusher .....
I'm not even a car guy and this is crushing my soul. Think if you could watch back to when these were being made, then the journey they went on, then to their death, the crusher. Made when America was prospering, now dying while America is also.
As a young boy we had one of these around a village in NB Canada. Me an my friends would save up a couple hundred dollars every month an he would let us build a weekend worrier out of what ever we could find lol lots of good memories
Amazing!
Thank you for sharing it’s so sad they’re closing that place so many awesome things in there
I really hope someone will come save alot of it!
Really is a shame. All the ones around me have closed as well. Sad to see all this history just get lost and destroyed. None of the new cars have the same feeling these cars did and it's truly a shame.
Wow, it breaks my heart to see all these treasures destroyed. The younger people have got to learn to appreciate beauty, not only cars but arcatecture or we will be left looking at ugly modern foreign, the older ones looked good, and modern cracker box looking building. It will be depressing indeed. Thank you helping to make us aware.
Thank you for watching and the feedback!
@@CountryBoyGasGarage your welcome
Good job posting the address, hopefully a lot of people will see this and save some history
Hey Thanks Brian!
I'm 55 years old and haven't been to that place since I went with my Dad when I was a little kid. I'm surprised it stayed open as long as it did. Sad to see it go. There's a lot of cool stuff still there.
Where is this place ?
Springfield Oregon
@@davestewart2067 I called them today. They are not selling cars. Turned in all titles.
Thanks for the video. We don't have any classic car yards in Chicago any more. They crush within a week of getting them. Hardly a chance to get anything. They look good even in scrap condition.
👆 👆congratulation you have been selected among my shortlisted winner's. 👆... ❤..
That Willie's wagon is so cool at the start must have been a workhorse
What was sad was when they ripped them all apart to sell on e-bay. I would love to have another old car to play with, but not one piece at a time.
I feel Your Pain Bro , Bloody control freak authorities
Hey Thanks Brian
I love this place. I've become friends with Chuck over the years and he and his wife are just amazing people.
Same! Sad to see it go.
.
Is there time to get a consortium together to buy them at scrap price.
@@tonyclough9844 Yes, open till December
Great video. Sad for it coming to an end though.
Thanks! It is...😞
In 2009 I went to a mini junkyard in Dallas, I was fascinated with a car that I can't find in my country and at an extremely low price I couldn't buy it because I wanted it to export and it wasn't old.
They should have at the very least left it open as a park/museum Great video!
I agree
Thanks for taking us along on such a bummer of a deal. I did see something I will be calling on , so thanks for that!
Oh Great!
I know somewhere in Georgia there is a massive classic car scrap yard. It’s so sad to see this one go but at least there are a few survivors out there
Thanks for the ward tour - in the UK they call these places "Breakers" LOL
Awesome! Thanks Jim!
Hey Jason 👋, it's a shame that theses places are disappearing. I love going out to junkyards or salvage yards to see what's there. Thanks for sharing and have a great evening ✌️
Hey! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the blast from the past shots man!! I somewhat hurt also for the termination of this salvage yard! Guess the government needs to make room recycling the metals for the the recked space ships to come!
Probably!
thanks for sharing ,although this chokes me up , i started visiting the US in the early 90's ,there were so many 70's - 80's cars on the rd and 60's mustangs and even 50's era cars for sale on the side of the roads by the late 90's they were nearly all gone ,i used to check all the wrecker yards on my travels , i travelled the US annually for over 15 years ,my favourite score was a '73 chev suburban 4x4 that i bought back to ozzi , i miss the world of the 90's so much, all these vehicles were runners and $ 1000 - 2000 then , we had so much disposable income then and the world was there for the taking , i feel for you young blokes now , it really sucks now , cheers big ears from down under
Hey Bill Thank You! Yes I miss the 90s prices and availability...
Just discovered your channel. I’m in Eugene. I bought the hood and some other parts from the one Ford Courier he had. Chuck is a good guy. So many treasures were lost out there.
In Europe those Junkyards are gone due to regulations and stupid laws. Now the same is happening in the States.
While there seems to be a lot of scrapiron, there are also a lot of bodies with amazingly little rust. To the right guy those parts and cars could really be gold.
Among a lot of crusty stuff you suddenly spot a front bumper of a 1960 Cadillac. Try to find one if you need it!
One problem you face in those junkyards: If you look for a specific part, year or model you often do not find the part you're looking for. I speak with more than 40 years of roaming through classic junkyards. Where I live they are gone for years now.
A friend of mine had a great junkyard with nearly 800 vehicles mainly from the Fourties to early Sixties. He stopped selling parts of those cars since the late Seventies. He tried to keep it as a historical site. Not a chance! He had to auction many cars off and crush all the rest. He made more money out of it than he deserved. Sad to say we live in humid climate and many cars that he refused to sell and would have been savable nearly turned to dust.
There was one specific vehicle I tried to buy in 1979. He let it decay for nearly fourty years. My offer of 1979 would have been higher than what he got for it at the end.
Very sad...
It's almost criminal to see all this heading to a crusher. I did hear you talking about some of the old trucks there, and saying CEO, when the acronym should be COE, or Cab Over Engine. The smoke from the fires, combined with that constant horn in the background gives a very fitting, eerie feeling. Knowing that everything there is headed for a crusher, if you can afford it, you might want to think about buying everything left from that 59 El Camino. I sure do wish I could make the nearly cross country trip to get out there before this yard is gone.
I laughing about the dodge "vantura" or the Honda " rabbit diesel"
Sad to see it go. Hey good ear! I messed up a few cars...lol
Should have a auction,get what they can get
Totally!
The j20 jeep pickup without its bed looked solid and very desirable year
Wow Jason, tons of good doors, hoods, and everythings, it's going to be a sad day when it all go's, thanks for taking us along, catch you soon buddy
Hey Thanks for watching Mike!
@@CountryBoyGasGarage you bet, looks like you were taking the El Camino, cool cool
Was hoping you'd walk those imports and showed more of the wheel racks. I thought I saw a couple gems in there. Shame to see these places disappearing.
I grew up outside Chicago, and in the 80s there were still a couple old school junkyards nearby. One had all the cars that were destroyed in the Blues Brothers plus all the other city and state cop cars when they retired all the old Monacos. Hundreds of them where they actually built a wall with crushed cars around part of the yard. I miss walking around them as a 16 year old.
Man that blue 69-71 ford pickup body looks to be in good shape wish I had that
Sorry y missed the live chat
Doing family stuff comes first
Thanks for the walk through that place has a lot of buried gold in it
Once again great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Family definitely first! Hey Thanks Joe! 👍
Man, tell Chuck I'll come over from New Zealand just to work at the wrecking yard and keep it open. I would totally love to do that. Great video brother.
Hey Thanks! Yeah I wish I could help him out also.
Thanks Jason that was a nice walk down memory lane
Que chingon huezario .yo soy laminero pintor de carros y sufro por encontra puertas salpicaderas y toda pieza .y ahí no sufriría tanto .hay miles y miles de partes .buen video
I wish TH-cam had a translate opinion like TikTok...
I wonder if you ever gotten lucky to find a 1957 Plymouth fury or 1958 two door, Plymouth fury like the car from the movie Christine that would be a nice car to restore
Maybe Mark from Graveyard Carz would’ve snatched it?
What a treasure. Never heard of them.
Awesome video, thanks for the memories... this video was really nicely done... best showcase of vehicles... other video producers don't even compare.
Much love Brother.
Hey Thanks Lawrence! I really appreciate that!
I'd love to get one of those early 60s Falcon post sedans and piece her together again .. Simplicity is a 289 and a toploader .. Man the help-yourself junkyard is becoming a thing of the past .. the ones near me won't let you look around by yourself.. I don't know why they are worried about thieves , they are the ones doing the stealing when they want better than new prices for some parts
Its amazing at one time all these cars were on the road and were owned by someone many years ago, now they are just relics of the past, what Earth was like.
So many memories
I have always been a classic vehicle nut. Good video. It's heartbreaking to see it close.

*Your'e totally awesome thank you my friend has to be the last one if not one of the very few last ones, God Bless you and yours!!!***
Thank You Matthew!
When I was a kid there were 3 junkyards just outside our town me and my friends could ride our bikes to in about 5 mins. We'd play in those yards all the time. Either we never got noticed or they didn't care, but none of us ever got hurt and I don't ever remember hearing of any owner or customer being electrocuted, or poisoned by bad water. Your average person was smarter then or at least had a lot more common sense. The governing entities in this country are finding ways to fulfill the wishes of the people who don't understand how beautiful this kind of place is to many of us.
You said it perfect!
Nice video, what a shame...that Renault Dauphine caught my eyes 😀. Will probably get crushed unfortunately. If only I had the money!
🔝.🆙... Hello fan thanks for watching and commenting, you have been selected among my shortlisted winner's....👆❤️.
glad you posted this. As a car guy in his 60s I used to junk yard hop all over Cali, Texas, Oklahoma, north and south carolina. It is a sad end to all of these cars. Nothing to restore her. Picked over and how long to you hold on to this scrap.
My thoughts, too. Most of what I saw is well picked over. Not a lot of value left.
That's what you call a paradise of antiques
Totally!
This is a step back for freedom
Can't wait to see whats there👍👍👍
I find a few parts! 👍
That white 69 Pontiac Grand pre was a cool car that had lots of parts unless it was solid to fix
A walk down memory lane.. I can't count the hours I spent in that yard..
Same! Too bad it's ending...😞
That chevy flatbed. What a exquisite looking vehicle. They dont make them like they used too. I might take a look.
Thank You!
That glass is worth a fortune
I’m Sorry Jason to hear your favorite place is closing. There will be another junkyard place you might like instead. There were lots of favorite places in Fort Wayne, Indiana I loved that closed down. I’m still depressed about it.
Thanks Evan
@@CountryBoyGasGarage oh yeah anytime Jason
We still got one like walking back in time to the 60"s.
Nice!
Looks like alot of rust free cabs and panels , even alot of pretty complete solid bodies .
So many cool cars! Many low rider projects there 🙂👌🏻
Yes!
i hope they sell most of that and dont crush it out...bonus points for the king midget in the beginning of the video with the art statue....good work man!
Hey Thanks!
I'm 60 years old I grew up Walking yards Save the lot of money appreciate them being around we're down 2 Yards In a 100 mile radius When I was a teenager there was 5 To 6 within 10 miles I learned a A lot about cars and mechanics and how to put together Educational modelsTo me❤ It's like The excitement of A sophisticated person walks into a museum that's how I feel about these yards . A lot too learn from These yards💔We're such a disposable society that's why today's cars have no souls😮
Exactly! Thank You for Watching!
What a eerie surreal experience.
It felt like the atmosphere after a disaster.
That nonstop whine of the sawmill in the background is terrible.
There was a lot of fine pickup trucks
Thanks! Yeah the sound of the mill totally added to the feeling of that place
That wrecker would be a great one to fix up and use if possible.
Sadly I've been seeing more and more of this in the last 5-10 years. A huge yard north of roswell new Mexico was closing in 2019 when we drove be. 1930's to 1970's. Cars trucks old drag cars . Let us save all we can and most importantly show the younger people why this stuff matters.
Sad...you are right!
😭 ❤️❤️❤️
Don't forget , All Americian Classic's in Vancouver, WA. Still hanging on although they downsized a few years ago.
🔝.🆙Hello fan thanks for watching and commenting, you have been selected among my shortlisted winner's..👆..❤️...
The smoke and the industrial background "whine" was perfect for this video 👍
Thanks!
It's a shame that people are just wiping away history like it's nothing. Glad it's being at least preserved in video.
Hey Buddy, just came across your video. I live in the UK and I felt really sad about this yard having to close down because of all the stupid Regulations and all those classic cars are just going to get crushed. If they are not sold..
Hey Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Same from the UK there are next to no yards near me anymore all gone years ago. Used to love going to the scrapyard at the weekend GW BRIDGES was a big one used to stack cars 3 high now its just an over the phone counter service since covid and will be houses soon enough. I have to get parts off ebay or fb which is a ballache
It's a shame governmental bureaucracy is closing such a historic place.
😞
Wooo. Sir it's amazing collection
I'm noticing a lot of those quarters on those cars are pretty rust free.
would be great if VGG and Junkyard Digs save all these beauties !
Yes!
I realized after I retired, that I could have quit a couple years earlier, but was trying to “finish everything up,” whatever that was.
What amazes me so much is you never see cars older than the 1960's on the road anymore. The only classic cars I do see on the road are 60-70's muscle cars, Ford Mustangs, air cooled VW's and that's about it. People have sentimental attachments to the cars from their youth. So, with the generation who were attached to cars from the 1930's, 40's and 50's dying off, there isn't much demand for those cars/parts anymore. Model A prices plunged when that generation passed on. Classic VW junk yards use to be everywhere. Now, it's rare to find a VW junk yard still open. The desirable parts from the millions of VW's sold are getting harder to find too.
It's sad that so many automotive junk yards have closed. However, it's the norm these days as the past few generations haven't had the car bug that previous generations did.
Dam what a stash. They can't just crush Al that history. It's horrible
The sound of the saw mill makes this video sound intense.
Nice!
So many beutifull classic car right there
