We're just about into 2024 and vintage Detroit Iron is still being found everyday. Thank you kindly for the tour Mr. GP.
Thanks for taking me along on your adventure! I go where you go!
Mr. Goodpliers, you have a strange but wonderful gift. 45 seconds in and I already see the Renault Dauphine! It's on the extreme right edge of the screen when you and Joe are looking at the Frazer. I think this is the fourth one of these cars I've seen in you videos over the years! Still, "Spot The Dauphine" would be a pretty safe drinking game to play. Now "Spot The Falcon"? What a hangover THAT would be! ☺
Good eye! I had a `61 Dauphine back around around `74.
@@curbmassame too 😊
Places like that are the ultimate vacation resorts
I enjoy your tours. I’m too old now to do any wrenching myself, but I still love to watch.
Shouldn't joke about rattlers,,, 1st they don't always rattle,,they are masters of camouflage!!! Lmfao I accidentally stepped on 2 6ft ones once,,I'm still here because it was a freak cold day that day!! True story
I didn’t think they came out in cold weather..
Move alot slower in cold
Don’t believe y’all
@@darkrose4704me and me mate do , we’re snow shifters.
Hey Tim! Enjoyed this one, for sure! Those little Datsun 200SXs are cool, haha... Lots of Classic Tires too! Cheers buddy...
LMAO : two of you Lawrence Kansas Auto Salvage Yards are advertising the same Texas Junk yard. It is so funny watching the different ways you show the same cars. Good Luck! I enjoy watching both of you. Adventures is also showing these cars.
I'm not a Ford guy but I always liked the Torinos and especially as a wagon. Just about the best looking 70's wagon. Besides a flood I think they had a fire.
VW pop out rear window was factory options. Some dealer installs but headliner had to be opened to affix the latch base properly
thanks guys - I enjoyed the tour very much
You should get a mic for your friend...he has a lot of commentary, but we can never hear him...
Back in the 80s & 90s,we used to slice up Kcars because they had similar body lines of the 70s Bbody mopars for 1/4 panels! 😂 had to use what was available then
First few seconds in the video, I saw that Kaiser. I want it!
A couple of those Oldsmopiles and Pimpalas, I like those too.
Ragging on the VW and Golf, lol. Actually, what you said was true and funny. Do you remember, back in the day, the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon had that same frikkin' body style? Mopar VW's (although I think they were Mitsubishi powered)! What the hell was that about?
Rambler kissing the tree is a 1963 770. Family had one for years. We still had it when I got my temp license but took my driving test in a '67 Plymouth Belvedere. This was about 1978.AL B.
I have to wonder if this “collection” belonged to Mike Kattner from Thrall. He passed away recently. He owned a city block in Thrall where there was an old gas station. I have never been to this location, but I about 15 years ago I went with him to a pasture full of similar stuff near Coupland to look for parts for a 62 Mercury Ckmet I was working on. Cars were half buried in the fence row. There was a plowed field across the fence and a hill. The erosion was burying them. He told me his dad started the business and back in the fifties someone wanted to crush cars, and split the money. The guy crushed the cars and kept all the money, ripping him off. From then on he never crushed anything.
I have never seen so much rust on Texas cars. If there was a vinyl top the metal there is gone. I think your comment about the gulf coast moisture must be spot on.
These types of old cars and trucks yards are scattered all across America, there everywhere and there are many, some business some private but there are many and most are big. Makes you think just how many vehicles are made each year to have so many older cars and trucks just rusting in some field today and these are just the ones you can see and there are many more older vehicles in barns, sheds, garages and out buildings to add
Love them junkyards
I'd definitely take that Mercury Cyclone at 38:00 they just look so cool and aggressive plus you just don't see them. Would make a badass street machine.
Great walk around!
I just toured that yard! Overwhelming
Dang you saved the 1972 clamshell for the end
Contrary to popular opinion, I'd like one of those Pinto station wagons. 😊
Those were actually surprisingly popular, several of them sold
Thumbs up, great videos, exploring new area is always an adventure,I am overwelmed on most of these video after 2 minutes, Do you sell any of those old tools you find at these barn cleanouts? looking for a couple fair sized pullers, and big old wrenches
Awesome video, thanks!! It's a shame how many of these yards are going to the Crusher. Although this particular one seems to have a lot of rotted cars; just like up here in the northeast.
Cool to see these cars still upright after 50 years plus,,,,here all you find is a roof,glass,,tires,,the rest ,salt ate,,,.....Texas is kind to vehicles,,,pat,,,land o' lakes,wi.. .
Over half of these were just as rusty as an "up north" car - they just rust from the top down
Scrap prices are going up! A few more bucks and a bunch of mine are going to scrap heaven as well.
Didn’t see you look in the 69 Grand Prix. A lot of them had tilts
Great video, amazing place.
Vegas and smallblocks rock!!!!!!
Great video! Looking forward to the next.
So what are the non lock GM tilts worth? The grill guard on that 60-62 Chevy short box 10:50, would bring good money if it's a factory accessory
Ira Young was a Chrysler dealer in Temple Texas. The dealership is right off I-35. I met the son of Ira. I do not know what year they sold the dealership to Mac Haik. Youngs owned that dealership about 50 years.
should have picked the taillight lens of the 66 Rambler Ambassador. They are really rare.
really any pre-68 beetle brings great money. You will sell it all. The VW crowd is as crazy as the mopar guys, maybe worse ( that says alot)
True, IF you can find a guy who is not a broke old hippie
They are out of the game long ago@@mr.goodpliers6988
Love this channel. Do you have a page or web site with inventory of what you have to sell? I'd like to see if you have anything I may be interested in. Plus I would like to support the channel.
Man im a big wagon guy taxes are coming up and if i can find a good running wagon i would be wanting to buy it
I think you're overlooking the 67-74 Pontiacs for their 400, 428, 455 engines. 68, 69, 70 rebuildable cores are big bucks and getting hard to find. Some pairs of heads $1,000+.
Love the Pavorick at 1:15 even has intacted S/T/T lights but missing the huge plastic rear bumper extension cover. Wonder how many times this thing hit a rotten Ronnie's drive through or pull up roller skate spot.
Looking for the 71 Impala 2 door trunk lid. It is raised down the center with louvers on each side.... 😮?
Are there any cars to buy which can come back on road decently what is the location of this
There must be a hundred or two cars there.. wow lots of nice hot rods.. lots of badonkidonks too cool.
A lot of 71-76 Impala/Caprice coupes
Fellas don't seem to know Rattlesnakes like to sun on tree limbs.
I don't really expect Texas vehicles to be so rusty, must be the salty gulf air .
Interesting what you're finding important , best of luck with your sales .
-Nate
Nice yard. Was the whole yard being cleared ?
Yes
I don't agree with you about the Falcons. Mine sold for $15k. And it's probably worth more now. I would love to have another. Way more interested in one of those over a A body gm
You should be saving those Vegas every hotrodder wants one of those
There was one not rusted into oblivion. It got saved. The rest are hopelessly rusted, parted out parts cars
the van with the hub caps would be fun to dig around in
Did you buy any whole cars ?
Spotted a couple of 1st Gen Monte Carlo's, I have a 70, there doesn't seem to be much interest in those. They make really good muscle cars in my opinion.
Hope you managed to score some decent parts before they get crushed - if you can find them!!
I am looking for power steering gear box for a 69 nova

I recall the Torino offered 2 different grills in '72. Also 2 different grills for '73, all of which were one year only grills.
@@ernielaw true I call the 72 Gran Torino sport "the big mouth " grille
Alas, no Corvairs. ;-D
That Coupe DeDo had Tilt and telescopic
I bought that part for a guy back home who needed that specific color for his car
Never seen someone hoarding oil pans before.
it's cheaper to buy a restored classic than to restore one yourself! everything is very expensive now days.
A lot of accelerated corrosion for Texas. And most of those cars aren't THAT old.
Frequently I look at a lot of 'beyond usable' stuff as great wall hangers, too bad so much of it just winds up being crushed.
It is the salty air from the Gulf of Mexico.
Seems like you should look in Buicks for tilt columns more than Chevys. More the luxury model. Seems like every other Buick had a tilt column when i was growing up.
That's what makes a Chevrolet tilt rare though
Man seriously how do you find these yards/places? I always run across stuff I need in your videos but never have any luck finding anything
This is on a Facebook Marketplace ad "closing salvage yard" in Austin Texas.
For every thousand run of the mill ads, there's one standout
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Ah dang guess I really need to get on facebook XD thanks for the info tho
It has became such a stupid business buying old Junk from when I was involved. Now you people go out and pay for a Junker and then have to clear the Timber in order to get it out and the Property owner is laughing and counting his money as well as getting his land cleared. Man when does Stupidity stop. I was always paid to remove old cars. I also owned an Excavation and Commercial Tree and Logging business and it was I who was being paid and then I sold the Junk to Wichita Scrap metal and Iron and in Missouri I sold the old junk to Missouri Iron and Metal. Man how things has changed.
Why not set a pin so can find the vehicles you want to get back to?
Why don't you check other GMs for tilt columns?
1965-70 Chevrolet are pretty specific
So far the 3 68 Impalas I've parted out all had the tilt columns
I like 72 Torinos and I’m a GM guy primarily. What do you think is ugly about them? As a fastback they look macho, and with a 429 they are macho!!!!
It's the base model grille. The Gran Torino is a masterpiece of design, but the base grille really fights the rest of the design in my opinion
Hi Tim as you seem to already know Torino offered 2 different grills in '72, & another 2 different grills for '73. The grill change in '74 would last for 3 model years. Did you know 1974 was the first year for the Gran Torino Elite which had its own grill and lights. 1974 was the only year which the elite was part of the Torino line. For '75 & '76 Elite was a stand alone name.@@mr.goodpliers6988
A little more location information would be nice looking for most any 63-67 International pickup parts
There was one complete 4 door truck, but it was sold. An incomplete long bed has already been crushed
'50 Buick Roadmaster (?) was ignored
Those two had been sold before we arrived - they just hadn't been picked up yet
I would love to be there with a pocket full of money and drag a lot of them out of there.
Scrap prices must be higher than l thought??? An Aussie paid $1000 for two trims??? And these Hoarders can't wait to crush everything???? 🙄🙄
Where is this located im in austin and need some parts
Look on Facebook Marketplace for a "closing salvage yard" ad. It's near Taylor
Or even a wagon that needed a little work i would buy it
Don't know what is so important about a tilt steering wheel because looking for it in this junk yard is just time not going to get
Hey I seen the 1973 brown Buick Electra are the front fenders any good on the you just showed barely a glimpse of the car I need both front fenders if you would be able to get me a price with shipping to Hamilton oh 45011
If the yard is close to the coast salt air will eat a vehicle in 2 years my 84 ford faiirmonts wind shild wiper motor rusted out cowling in a rainstorm, had to wait it out to get back home
Up north the salt eats them from the bottom up... down south the salt eats them from the top down!
Where
Near Taylor Texas. Look up "closing salvage yard" on Facebook Marketplace
Most of that pile looks like crusher food to me.
And that's exactly where most of it went
@@mr.goodpliers6988
My father had a big yard full of old cars. 58-60 T-Birds, Studebakers, Packards, Nash, lots of old Buicks, 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 two door hardtop, 1956 Victoria two door hardtop, but the craziest one was a 1959 Chevy Parkwood Wagon, 348, with a three speed. He would pump up the tires, and drive it around in his yard until the tires went flat. When he passed away my sister, and her lawyer beat me out of my half of the estate, and most of those cars went to the crusher for 60 dollars a ton. She wasn't smart enough to bring the crusher to the yard! She loaded them on a trailer, and hauled them to town 25 Miles one way!
Why did you pass da caddy 66
so they are going to scrap them soon
Yes the crusher is there now
Looks like they are all beyond salvageable.
Better to recycle ♻️ them instead of rusting away in a field.
Non desirable cars anyway
Can anyone hear
Is that a mazda rotary pickup?
I'm not getting any sound on your video
Unfortunately most them look like Crush material
Not much !!goid amount of scrap/it’s going to be a job putting them on a trailer,
Take two Vegas instead of one large car.
All cars 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
Need a 51 olds parts car
Thanks for nothing. You do seee a lot, but not one glance is worth the wait and then you miss eight or nine that you could have looked at by turning your head then there is the oh so nice scenes of landscaping. Signed-Richard.
This is a true junkyard.... Literally every vehicle that is here, has to go to the crusher.
Stay tuned... We pulled the two restorable units home from this place
A bunch of junk
No parting rattler shots??
@3:31 S.H.O?
Same old rust: SAME JUNK.
So many rusted undercarriages, so little intrinsic or actual value. You got a title? Nope! Parts is Parts
Can't believe I wasted time watching this.
These guys do any thing to make a video dont they have a job
Any 69-70 coupe deville Cadillacs before 🪦 please and thanks you
There was a 1978, but no 69-70s
@@mr.goodpliers6988 you the MAN, bro thanks
Jeez, if you are going to make a video, at least make it interesting. After 15 minutes of looking at trees and watching a guy with a blue shirt walking around was enough for me!
I am not seeing may cars that a younger man would have bought new, More sod busters cars
