12 Most Incredible Abandoned Vehicles
ฝัง

- The car that sits on your driveway or in your garage probably isn't a unique vehicle. You might like it a lot, but that doesn't make it unique! The vehicles we see and use every day, whether they're cars, buses, trains or planes, are mass-produced. That isn't the way every vehicle is made, though. Some of them are one-of-a-kind builds, and once they've served their purpose, they're left abandoned. That's been the fate of every incredible vehicle you're about to see in this video!

Most of those deserves to be in a museum!
One of those trains from GM I've seen a lot at the National Museum of Transportation in Kirkwood MO. The styling of it has always intrigued me. Damn now I want to take a trip back to the museum lol.
The cement boat is right outside my window. We're growing old together!
That's so cool. I love stuff like that, someday I'm taking a vacation out there to check it out.
Seen it many times.. I swear he kept calling it the Padoalto... oh, then there is the old Aptoes vs Aptahs debate.
I thought that Batmobile had been rescued years ago and restored on a TV show.
@@robdude1969 Aptose if you're fancy, Aptoss if you're partying! And we call it the cement boat, not the concrete ship, most locals.
Interesting about the McBarge. I lived in Vancouver for over a year and never realized it was there. Will have to look it up when I visit again (assuming they haven't moved it by then). The short fate of the GM AeroTrain is also interesting in that the Disneyland "mini-me" version of that same train suffered essentially the same issues and was dismantled in equally short order.
I got a $10 citation from the city for leaving my trash can out to long after the truck came and emptied it. McDonalds & 6 Flags can leave a barge on the water an a Batmobile in the woods, yet nobody tells them to come pick up the trash or face a fine?
… but some animals are more equal …
Isnt government over reach amazong
Yup,living the dream,just not my dream. I totally conclude you pay a high end lawyer or you pay high end fines,and it's on your record.
Look up Amphiroll, somewhat different from the Ford product, but used in swampy areas here in the Netherlands, Land van Saeftinghe, Hulst, from minut 12 of this video. Regards,
We had a huge concrete boat built in my village in the late 60s early 70s. It travelled all round the world on a cruise, but don't know where it ended up. I remember the whole community came out to watch the launch at high tide. Massive impressive thing.
"concrete boat..."
Sorry, what?!
@@LordSandwichII ikr
It breaks my heart to see these vehicles abandoned
Wow!!! classic we see different vehicle everyday
Hippies - sAvE tHe PlaNut
Also Hippies - Leaves thousands of bikes behind
That is truly pathetic.
@@tyrssen1 lol
Hmmm. . .. How can a train be "highly maneuverable?"
Now there is an interesting question
Means it can take tighter bends without falling off the tracks. Bit like a city tram
Maneuverable around tracks meaning it can take a tight corner better than most trains
Just one more reason that GM shouldn't get bailed ever again, all they had to do was adjust the angle of the wheel where it meets the rails and that ride would smooth right out as well as increasing the top speed. Same thing with Canada's Turbo train in the 60's through the mid 70's, it kept jumping the rails at just over 100mph for that very reason. We used to scramble to get our gear off the tracks when that thing came flying through, rail yard crew gear that is. Our train tracks are the same ones used for the steam engines, terrible ride.
Sure as you can't steer a train
You can't change your fate
The "Concrete" boat/ship was actually built from Ferrocement and the material/technique is still in use today.

I don’t no where ferroconcrete ships are in use today, but the last time a ferroconcrete ship was constructed in Europe, was during the German occupation. The ship still exists today as church ship “Kerkschip St Josef” in the port of Antwerp (Belgium). In WW I the French built several ferroconcrete ships to be used as army transports.
www.kerkschip-antwerpen.be/erfgoed.htm
@@wkruit ferrocement. It's not concrete. There are plenty of ferro vessels out there but the advantage in materials cost is outweighed by labour costs, because the system requires a lot of it. Also it can be hard to get insurance because amateur-built hulls are often less than perfect. They can be overweight because too much mortar has been used and this makes them weaker, not stronger. However a pro built ferro hull will last as well as a steel or GRP one.
The "concrete" ships were the Library ships (part of them) in WW II.
3:20 No, it does not use coal in its own engines. Like other bucket wheel excavators, it had all electrical motors and was provided electricity by a cable from the grid.
plus it only cleared the overburden
No, it's true. It was a steam punk excavator.
Not saying that it ran on coal was true, but it is more then possible. Most of those large excavation machines were in fact "plugged" into the grid, some used diesel generators where the mine was just to far off the grid. Could they have used a coal fired boiler and steam turbine to power a electric generator ? Sure but I can,t see some one ordering a system so much more complicated when diesel fuel at the time was like 20 cents a gallon. But on the other hand in its hayday that machine was running 24-7 and a turbine would not require nearly as much maintenance and would last much longer then a diesel -electric set up. .
And at a much lower operating cost ( coal fueled )
Bagger 258 (and Bagger 1473 that is often confused with it) were both powered by electricity supplied by external power cable.
NOT BY COAL.
This is also true for the later Bagger models, like the 288 and 293 that are counted as the largest (by most measures) land vehicles of all time.
someone should make a nasty techno club out of that mcdonalds boat
Cheap housing for the homeless?
Technically it is a barge .
@Caroline Balkon sorry but malls to buy more shit you dont need is the last thing humanity needs...
My town where I born used to have a great recollection of dumped scrap so many items there are more likely to revive your reminiscence in case if u have exceeded 70 years
Excellent video! Very interesting I really like it thanks for sharing it 👍
7:33 that Ecto-1's fate has finally been determined: its been repurposed as the star car of Ghostbusters: Afterlife!
Yes!
Aathis was so great to see all of this. Thank you for the information and entertainment.
A very interesting video.
Hey, "Mystery Men" was GREAT. And yeah, the Herkimer was extremely cool. Damn, I'll take it if no one else wants it ... same with that Batmobile! ...Gee, those drug lord tanks are just what we need, for modern American roads.
Yes.
JUNK IT!!
Mystery Men is an underrated classic
The Miller-Meteor ghostbusters car IS a hearse. It's called a combination, the floor flips over, Landau panels go over the windows, an oxygen tank goes in place, a red light installs on top so it serves as an ambulance and a hearse.
I live in Vancouver. And drove past the "mcbarge" for years. Someone finally bought it and moved it to be restored. Location unknown. Always wanted to get on that and check it out, but sadly never got the chance.
OMG, i just leaned something new today, my car was mass produced!
Interesting fact - the Cadillac "Miller Meteor" ambulances are INCREDIBLY rare and valuable. Think hundreds of thousands of dollars valuable. They were for the film like using the Delorean for back to the future - though orders of magnitude rarer. Excluding the ECTO-1 hack-ups, there are something like 50-60 known to still exist. Exceedingly rare. It would be absurd if Sony sold that car, and it's even more absurd they haven't restored it. Even as the prop car, it'd easily fetch 200 grand for private sale.
My former ambulance company still has one in its original 1950's/60's baby blue and white livery, in absolutely pristine, fully restored condition. We use it for parades and at funerals for fallen medics. One of our oldest medics passed away a few years ago, he was the last one at the company that remembered driving those old boats for real in the 60's and 70's. He said that they were staggeringly comfortable and smooth compared to our modern rigs with the massive V8 and cadillac ride.
Also interesting fact - if you never let the ambulance certification lapse, they could be grandfathered in despite meeting no modern standards. As long as they had the minimum required equipment of a modern rig, they can be kept as functional service ambulances. Ours isn't, but I think there are something like five of the old caddy ambulances in America that are still legally registered as ambulances.
That is SO weird! I was just wondering if the prop for Mystery Men got bought up by somebody. Was watching a video on Aliens hardware included the APC . Cool to know! Thanks.
Mystery men! Confirmed!
Epic!!!
the battle jitney is in a junkyard? WHERE?
*MUST HAVE BATTLE JITNEY!!!!*
Krispy Bacon it’s actually off the 215 fwy in Devore,California now
@@GWENZDADDY yes, I took a picture of it just last week.
Unique idea, excellent content. Well done!
Awesome vid
The Free Bike Giveaway at the end of Burning Man was part of the reason we would go.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya Prayers
The part about burning man is inaccurate. The festival cleanup crew was the one to handle removal of the bicycles. The lazy attendees left them, but the festival management never lets the playa go tainted before packing up. It's part of our contract for being able to continue to use the playa.
Some years the cleanup crew is there for 2 weeks after the festival ends. Locals and attendees alike helped to gather and remove the bicycles left behind by the less scrupulous attendees.
The Train looks like something out of Fallout
That Herkimer looks so cool
McBarge sure make a great home, have a nice kitchen built in
Nothing sounds more romantic than a Big Mac on the waters. 👌
Very interesting. I've surely subscribed
0:39 becak kayuh, from indonesia. My childhood transportation
I collect Art Deco piece so that truck thumbnail caught my eye. It's so cool, the bulk and the front glass with the cap roof and large dropping heavy grill is so original of the era. Iam going to share this with east coast customized builder.
My good sir i hope you are able to save the HERK its truly beautiful and needs to be saved. The thumbnail caught me to good luck

@@edwardtupper6374 thank you
If you want to know more about the Herkimer Battle Jitney (used for this video's thumbnail), you can find photos, some blueprints, concept art, and videos of it, in the Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/1539262516391069/?ref=group_header
thanks. Side view looks like something you would see at a burning man festival LOL shorten and low rat rod style unpainted would also work. They say it was a air streem rv. Or 60s very similar with the round lines or even fins. About 56 -57 chevy times.
Loved the Fordson Snow Devil and a sad end for the concrete boat.
I've been on that boat many times, it was still attached to the fishing pier at Sea cliff beach in Aptos. The last time I was there the pier had been cut off of it as the boat had pretty much broken apart and was no longer safe.
Thanks for the update OldB, where's Aptos and why was a costly item like that boat abandoned in the first place?
Oldbmwr100nz sti
@@petergambier boats are the kind of thing that eventually become outdated and more costly to maintain than to get a new one, and nobody likes shipbreaking.
@@blockstacker5614 I agree, you could sell it off to be a houseboat where all that should concern you is the hull and so long as that's good it'll last for years, especially if it's aluminium or completely plastic. So, with all that plastic waste floating in the oceans it's time we got into boat building.
The Palo Alto is just a few miles from my house. My parents used to go dancing there when the casino was in business. Winter storms have pretty much destroyed her. Ferrocement is a successful material to manufacture boat hulls and water tanks.
Not gonna lie when I first saw the Narco tanks I thought they were some sort of reject TIV (tornado intercept vehicle)!
Love the Herkimer Battle Jitney in the thumbnail.
The McDonald's water restaurant would make a killer nightclub.
This is not Bagger 258, it is still in use in West Germany. This is SRs 1500 and it used to work until 2002 in Meuro, East Germany. It was made by VVB TAKRAF, Lauchhammerwerk is a part of it. Furthermore, all of these are powered by high-voltage electricity and can not run on coal. Which also would not make sense because this one was used to dig overburden, not coal.
3:50 It you came for the thumbnail
First! A pleasant walk through time when you could make mistakes and still survive.
Haha
I thought volume is expressed in cubic feet, not square feet.
I remember seeing that bat mobile at SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN back in the 90s they have the riddler ride there and it was parked at the entrance it was cool and nice to see it again sad its buried in dirt now..
that car is national treasure!! how dare they!L!
that was an interesting video. i used to golf at a course in sterling massachusetts that had a huge caterpillar bulldozer abandoned and left on one of the golf holes. i think it was a model D-9 maybe.
Nice!!!!
Since both Aerotrains are in museums - Green Bay and St. Louis - they really aren't "abandoned". And they were not "back in the warehouse barely a year after their 1956 launch". Both were retired in 1966 - after 10 years of use.
Thanks. That's good to know. I really liked the design. I might take a ride up to Green Bay to check one out😎
A lot of 59 Cadillac hears/ambulances have been built as Ecto 1s. There's one rotting in Nanakuli, off the Farrington hwy.
That Herkimer Vehicle would make the Coolest Resto or RestoMod . Astonishing that No-One has .
In 2020, it was reported that there were plans to refit the barge into a seafood restaurant, though a location had not been secured. Later in 2021 it was reported that an undisclosed site had been selected but was awaiting government approval.
The Fordson tractor with the big drums seem to able to float on water if it cracked trough to the ice. Even could get along in the water by the screw design of the drums. But it is just a guess
4:00 the herkimer (however you spell it) there is one like it off the 215 freeway in California. Drive by it everyday and always wanted to stop and ask about it
Where is it off the 215?
Doofensmirtz made one of them.
There's a giant electric excavator in West Mineral, Kansas named Big Brutus. It was used in the 60's and 70's for coal strip mining. It weighs 9.3 millions lbs and is now a museum that is open to the public. It ran off electricity and inside there are gigantic motors that powered everything from the tracks, to the booms and other equipment. There are stations all over the place for maintenance guys to ride along with it and just keep things oiled and lubricated at the time. It's really cool to walk around inside of it. If you ever get to Kansas, this is in the southeastern area and worth a visit.
I wouldn't mind having one of those bikes. Could use it run a few errands and get some exercise since I'm retired.
The screw tank was ahead of it's time.
Wow!
That Herkimer thing looked like a BAD CHAD nightmare!
Really surprised you didn’t put in the soviet space shuttles 2 of them are rotting away , there’s a really good exploration of them out there somewhere
I love that I live down the street from a featured vehicle on the list (the S.S. Palo Alto, or as us locals call it, The Cement Ship)
was kool ship... used to sit there and watch the waves engulf it, so peaceful...
THe GM train definitely has 57 Chevy styling.
Hey,the Big cole excevator is not Bild from Lauchhammer,it is build in Lauchhammer...east Germany...the Firma that him build is TAKRAF!!!!
Very nice Video,greets from Germany!!!
The red Peterbilt used in the first "Pet Cemetery" sits on the side of US Rt 1 in Princeton Maine.
No way! Any idea how to get ahold of the owner?
@@eligebrown8998 If you do a web search do it there is plenty of information about it. I'm on my phone for a bit and not good at posting links well.
Not to be confused with the thousands of other truck abandoned on the side of the road in Maine.
@@ericwsmith7722 True. But this one is well documented.
I think you are on point with the batmobile. It looks like the same on that had at 6 flags in nj.
I've seen a shell of the Batmobile in a body shop around the corner from my house in L.B. CA 🇺🇸
4:12 is it just me or does that look like the helmet of the t-51 power armor from Fallout? 😂
Yes it does good eye
@@Ty-47 thx
I was surprised to see that even the concrete ship got shown, never really gave much thought about it every time see it
There is also another ecto in a museum in I think, Gatlinburg.
The museum is owned by the guy who designed all the cars from the flinstones through to the fast and furious, batmobile, general Lee, smokey and the bandit.
Great museum.
Somehow they missed out on this ecto, so its not quite right.
I saw the Herkimer!!.. it shower up in a yard down the street from my house a few months ago!! No joke!!
I like it !
I had a trainee on my ambulance the other day and he said that he goes to burning man with his old schoolbus and collects the nicest bicycles after the event and resells them. I got my bike, a rare and classic schwinn traveler chromoly that way.
I also used to work at a hot rod shop, we bought an 1970's chevy pickup as a parts-getter for like $400, and the bed was filled with old bicycles. I dug through them and saw one was a 1950's schwinn california beach cruiser with its original badges (big money) so we cleaned it up, powder coated the frame, rebuilt the coaster brake, new grips and cables, and I resold the thing for $5000 in 2007
That's because burning man is full of spoiled hippie wannabes on rich parents dime, people with every opportunity afforded to them that instead go off and live like bums doing drugs then discard garbage and even expensive ideas when the hangover comes and run home to mommy and daddy
Had a few bigmacs on that McBarge back in '86. It rusted in Burnaby for a while, then I think they dragged it up the Fraser to Mission.......If I remember correctly.
I was aboard the MacDonald's McBarge in all her McGlory at the Vancouver Expo 86 fair munching down a big mac and fries. quite shocking to see it in such a deteriorated state today.
I liked the Mystery Men movie :(
Loved that movie
I’ve seen the concrete boat. It’s in an area famous for juvenile great white sharks
OK for people that do not know this.
Ecto-1 the one that was in disrepair at the time is in a collector's hands and was restored.
The batmobile was also restored five years ago. A person did see it that is also a collector of cars restored it and it does function today. That picture was over a decade old.
Great video! What's the nice chill song used in the transitions throughout??
If I'm not mistaken that batmobile is the 1 from a 1989 MTV "steal the batmobile" contest giveaway.
The car came with no engine.
The guy who won it had to sign an agreement with WB not to use it for financial purposes (he couldnt charge people to see it on display) after he got it the IRS hit I'm with taxes on it. He was forced to sell it.
damn that really sucks
What is it that makes trains highly maneuverable? The only ones that I’ve seen are on tracks, that pretty much rules out the maneuverable concept.
The first one, the Boaty McBargeface, would bake a great casino on the Mississippi River.
I have always wanted a 1959 Cadillac
Me too
I guess if intruders eyes were discouraged and dissuaded from missing around , those out dated scraps would potentially able to be relieved again . ..
*DAFUQ?*
I seen that same batmobile at the six flags in California in the early to mid 90s I was around 7-8 years old at the time.
That batmobile car is in the woods just a mere 10 miles from Six Flags, St Louis. It was on display when they debuted the Batman Ride over 20 years ago. It was purchased by a now deceased park employee and sits abandoned on his property. I know this because I have seen it in person.
Interesting. Thanks.
6:45 how cozy! How fun must that be when one of those gang members has a bad case of gas!
7:15 I saw a ghost buster car in Jackson ms
Wow, the correct use of the word 'unique' to mean 'one of a kind' rather than the far more common usage of it to simply mean 'rare'. Mind you, I'm not sure if screen accurate one-off _replicas_ of a unique item exactly count, but I'll let that slide...
I've seen a concrete ship just like that from a similar time period off the coast of the bolivar peninsula near the texas coast. It looked to be in better shape, super weird concept!
Right on, it's owners were probably " coo'nass", they can float anything. !
Send this video to Jay Leno ^^
I bet he seen it before we did
So the Herkimer Battle Jitney is sitting in a junk yard with the possibility of a manager yelling at an employee to "junk it!"... that's awesome.
Maybe if you gave me some proper tools...
It's sad that these vehicles are no longer used. It can serve other purpose if it can be restored.
Not true for the Bagger - the cost to restore it then transport it somewhere it COULD be used would be higher than building a newer, more modern version.
I find it interesting you didn't mention the Kiptopeke (Virginia) Breakwater aka Concrete Ships. WWII era freighters, from what I understood when I was there in 1975.
