Could of stripped all the parts of that Bentley and sold it to the uk market regardless of age of that car, the V8 engine alone would of been worth something.
Just imagine in 1987 who bought that car first. A CEO of a company. A Dallas Cowboy. A lottery winner. A real estate monguel. Now its just crushed metal.
Must be nice to be rich enough to throw thousands of dollars away. The grill alone is worth several thousand. There was a lot of valuable trim got crushed. With any Rolls-Royce product, contact Park Ward Motor Museum in Chicago. They will usually want parts like that. If the leather is good inside, that original Connelly hide is worth bucks too.
People in this industry are scrappers.. they avoid thousands of dollars with small effort in favor of pennies for no effort over and over. Stupid is as stupid does. Most often the claimed attempt at marketing parts or even the whole thing are laughable at best, steeped in ignorance of where the proper market is. EDIT: It is not usually the scrappers fault that something has been chosen for recycle... I should have made this more clear in my first post. Usually its the owner of a dead car that has no knowledge of how to maximize the return on their property by reaching the very specific market that needs to know. By the time a scrapper in engaged, then the "time is money" axiom comes into play. They have work to do, and it boils down not to earning maximum return by investing in research and marketing, but rather how quickly the asset can be converted to sellable fluids and steel, which DOES represent the smart business decision.
Do you know what is the 1 big thing you are completely missing? IT'S THEIR STUFF TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH IT. Have you forgotten about Freedom to make as much as you want or as little as you want. It's their stuff
I agree that this is a waste. There are a finite number of these left. With a little bit of time and effort, many parts could’ve been salvaged to be used to restore several other examples. However, you can’t put the blame entirely on the scrap yard. They are only interested in the metal. Whoever brought the car there should’ve taken these scarce and valuable parts off of it beforehand. Still a shame to watch.
I once came across an immaculate, perfect low mileage BMW in a junkyard, thinking the engine must be toast I enquired about buying, the guy said the car was totally perfect and running but he couldn't sell it to me as the car had been seized by the authorities and there was now a court order for it to be crushed by law. They go on about saving the planet and resources and yet thousands and thousands of repairable vehicles are crushed across the globe year on year. It's not the junkyard's fault, they're not responsible for that car ending up in their compound. Manufacturers should be made responsible for the end of life recycling of their own vehicles.
Under that type of seizure, the government should auction the cars off to offset court costs. Would save a bit of space in a land fill, conserve resources and put another serviceable car on the road - pergaps negating a purchase of a new one.
@@christopherstory2136 I feel like that would be worse because it gives them an incentive to seize cars to sell. I feel like that could be offset by donating the funds to a non government ngo, but I bet your ass that politicians would suddenly also become board members, spend most of the funds on "oversight and management" and suddenly the government would start seizing and "donating" cars over the smallest infractions.
There's a bunch of stuff on that Bentley that could have been salvaged but you got a guy looking at the gear shift actuator even notices that it's connected to the transmission and doesn't even know that it's a gear shift actuator so that kind of explains a lot

From what I could tell on JD power, the Bentley was $89 900 new, lowest price was $16 000. Sure looked overbuilt. I bet the colours on it are Royal Navy air arm colours. British cars will give you a whole new vocabulary.
After some quick Googling, the base model Bentley’s back in 1987 were about $30,000 back then. That works out to be about $75,000 - $80,000 in today’s money. But based off of options, this one was probably a $100k car in today’s money. Two-time paint, nice wheels, probably some interior upgrades, etc.
Easy four-five figures in parts alone crushed for $600 in scrap metal. Wow. Blows my mind. Those 4-piece taillights are $300-400 per piece alone. That's $1,200-1,600 in just taillights. The European headlights were probably a grand each, if not more. I mean, seriously, any of those dudes in the video could have grabbed a screwdriver and had themselves an easy couple of grand in just a few minutes. Not to mention all of the trim and other stuff. Insanity. Just a complete waste.
The device where you kept saying "What is that?" is the transmission shifter. RR and Bentley used GM TurboHydramatic 400 transmissions. Maybe by 87 they used the 700R4 version. Anyways, the column shift in these is electric, and that device was the actuator unit that actually shifted the transmission.
There’s probably some Bentley owner who’s transmission shifter is playing up and needed that part just to keep there car on the road but now it’s crushed and unusable .
I love watching your videos but it kind of makes me sick cuz I'm from the Midwest where everything is rust and I see all these good bodies going away. Take care. It's fun to watch
@21:21 nice score ..Bentley badge ...got to also try to get a Rolls Royce hood ornament...& the Rolls Royce centercaps that always keep the RR upright when driving..When you ever get any old or modern Rolls Royce cars .....ALWAYS check out the doors for the hidden factory umbrellas installed in them in the door jams 🌂...they are highly wanted & collected...I found a few over the years
Whoever was saying the low-end Bentleys were $30K back in 1987 is incorrect. The original MSRP for those vehicles was $89K (in 1987 dollars). That's base price, with no options. Everything I've read states that these vehicles are (were) incredibly expensive to maintain, with repair costs easily surpassing the actual current worth of the vehicle. There's a reason that this car could purchased for $300 and then found itself languishing in the yard with no takers - it just wasn't worth it, not even for parts. I'm guessing the engine either had a catastrophic failure or needed tens of thousands in repairs.
No one needs to worry too much about parting out the Bentley. Most of the parts are still available as new old stock from VW. There really isn't much on the car that is hard to find.
Apologies, but as a UK resident even I can say that those Bentleys are just big, thirsty, prohibitively expensive things to maintain. They aren't actually even desirable now, the people who could afford to keep one running will have a far newer version. Far better off as crushing material!
I have been looking for some information in regards to the exact Bentley or most likely model of Bentley that was actually crushed in this particular video. Firstly most models for the American market are likely to be in LWB. In 1986 Bentley only made 19 LWB / LHD Bentley Mulsanne four door sedans. If we assume that the Bentley Mulsanne is a 1987 model, then I can assure you only 6 LHD / LWB sedans had been made, in this particular year.... In regards to actual weight 5.039 Pounds. If the Bentley Mulsanne sedan is indeed NOT a LWB model however, in the year 1986 only 48 models in LHD had been made. In model year 1987 only 30 LHD ever left the factory....again in regards to actual weight 4,980 Pounds. Either way, I must say quite a rare car these days.
Damn Cowboy. That was hard to watch, when you crushed that Bentley. The guys an A** for junking it. He should have stripped it clean . Doors, hood and trunk lid. Interior, motor and transmission. If they were good. Rolls and Bentley used GM Transmissions for decades. Hard to watch. Still an EXCELLENT VIDEO.Always fun to watch. Loyal viewer.
In 15 years of working junk cars not 1 time has anyone ever asked for any Bentley parts. The man had posted it for 2 damn years. Nothing, zero action on it. I showed that car in a video 6 maybe 8 months ago. No one said anything about it. Not worth name calling on that junk that no one wanted. Really wasn't expecting that from you William
@@CowboyCarCrushing It could have been a flood car, or have a blown motor. Used ones in those years don't bring much. Just hard to see a 1/4 million dollar car in a yard get crushed. No disrespect.
You have to know where to look for buyers. There are several shops in the US that only deal with Rolls-Royce and Bentley restorations. They will buy parts or even whole cars, but you need to contact them. Park Ward Museum in Chicago is one.
@@michaeltutty1540 You're CORRECT. TOTALLY! MY GRAMPS WORKS FOR SOME REAL SUPER RICH PEOPLE ON FISHER ISLAND, MIAMI FL. THEY OWN A FLEET OF ROLLS.R. BENTLY TOO. HE MAINTAINS THEIR FLEETS!

@@michaeltutty1540 If the buyers just sit around and wait for people to come to them, this is the result. These yards don't have staff to sit around and look for prospective buyers. The buyers have to come to them.
Honestly, I'm surprised someone didn't buy the Bently even in the condition it's in, take it home and put plastic hubcaps on it that look like fancy wheels with spinners and park it in their driveway, or Section 8 apartment complex parking lot, in the ghetto so they make sure their neighbors see it but only wash and wax it at 2 a.m. so the neighbors don't see and think it's being driven still. I bet the front tire got shredded like that from the driver running from the Po-Po going over spike strips as they say in the hood.
@10:18 some old Bentleys & Rolls Royce have reversed threaded lug nuts too.....go figure.....probably the car was junked when they had the flat right front tire .....couldn't find the key & couldn't figure out how to get the wheel off with the reverse threaded lugs 🤣
Could have been a Friday Bentley. .you could have put it in the corner just to have some yard art. Sat in it for lunch. Lol. Made brum brum noises..lol. thinking the body's were aluminium anyways.
I'm sure those Bently rims will end up on a Corolla someplace🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Surprised some collector didn't pick up the Bentley....but then again some of the "junk" people do collect (yeah, I know beauty is in the beholder....)
Its a junkyard...these cars are there for a reason guys. While it sucks seeing a classic get crushed, they most likely ended up at the yard because they are beyond repair. Its easy to say, "oh should have saved it!" Ya, time, money and space. I daily a 1998 Buick LeSabre, clean body and frame. Its going to Kenny U Pull end of summer. Needs an exhaust and subframe...just too much money to fix it which is why classics end up here.
Obviously the engine of the Bentley was broken, and then they end up parted out..or crushed by our cowboy friend. For us the sad thing is that we just bought body parts for a customer car like this for over 2400 euro's...We can use video this for customers who want to spent to much on their cars... will be shocking for them....😁
Look at all these poor souls rotting away dreaming for someone to rescue them but alas most suffer the fate of either rotting away or get crushed and sent to the scrap heap rest in peace cars
You know that the part alone of these car are marketable ?... There is a specialist repairer in England who buys Rolls Royce and Bentley wrecks no matter the era or the condition, because these cars are small series, not like their contemporary counterparts badged BMW or VW which are real shit has one arm; compared to the old ones. So it's very stupid to destroy one of these , because all the parts are recoverable on this type of car , it's not a Bad Fomoco for poor people ... It's not me, who loses precious money doing stupid things like this.
@@CowboyCarCrushing ahah it's USA , the country of car , one more or one less nothing to f.... Lol =) I guess if these cars were destroyed there was a good reason, otherwise they are leaving in pieces.
The Bentley you're going to crush. I saw a 1985 when I looked on my phone. Went for about 45,000. If you look at a 2024 a brand new one goes for like 540,000 a half a million a lot of money. Thank you.
@@CowboyCarCrushing and thank you cowboy car crushing appreciate the response back. Boy a new Bentley cost a half a million boy. You'd have to have money to get that. I'll watch one of your videos again very soon. Thank you and God bless. Good luck to you.
It's totally okay to like cars. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I like cars but in a different way. Cars feed my family and provide me with entertainment. 🤔 i guess im a car guy but in a different sense of it
Bentley's manufacturer got one thing right: They made them out of metal! Left-hand threads on the lug nuts. Sounds like a typical Bentley. The next time Cowboy crushes a Bentley with the wheels on, he'll know what to tell his ground man to help him get the tires off! 😊👍
Oh come Abid. No need to insult and ones knowledge of "business savvy". Do you see all the other cars available for parts? So you would run a scrap yard hoping and praying 1 car is going to but the business in the black? Slow down. It was 1 junk car
That really is a waist!! My friend used some front seats in his man cave they were very comfortable. So I used my old mk10 jag seats in the same way and they were great!!
1987 Bentleys in around $80,000 and are still worth in drivable condition $17,000 and up. Parts are even more expensive as they’re rare. That electric motor beside the transmission might be overdrive. Biggest trouble are the suspension mineral oil leaks and awful unreliable fuel injection system. That Bentley was too far gone mechanically. That old W140 white Mercedes, in the background, was better built then British cars, but like Bentley, worth nothing when broken. Wonder what engine big white Benz had?
My Uncle bought a new 71 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SHADOW. I learned to drive in that car, and took my drivers test with it. It was a magnificent vehicle. To anyone who has never ridden or driven one, well, its hard to explain how wonderful it is. He kept it for about 15 years, put well over 100.000 miles on it, and it served very well, and he never told me he had ANY serious issues with it. When he sold it, it still looked and ran like new.
That part underneath was the electronic shift box. The transmission gear selector shifted electronically. That's what allowed the shifter to be silky smootn.
Coincidentally CarWizard another youtube channel that does work on these exotics just had a video this week that those shift servo motors are super hard to find and aren't made anymore. Only reason I knew what it was.
Procedural question - why do some junkyards send in cars or trucks full of engines and transmissions? Wouldn't they be able to send them out as cores to be remanufactured? Or are they usually junk or undesirable models? I'm guessing not a lot of LS Chevys or Cummins diesels get crushed and sent to the shredder.
I work at a crushing yard in Orlando and we jerked out all the motors and trannies and sell them as aluminum combos for scrap. We get more per pound that way
@@CowboyCarCrushing we have a picking yard also, if the motors don't sell out the vehicles they still get pulled and put in the container for aluminum combo scrap
Cool to see what juicy whips have ended up in the junkyard. Would all be fixed up here unless complete total losses. Caught my eye: E53, E65s, W140s, Impreza, Legacy
@@CowboyCarCrushing we all wish we had a crystal ball eh😊. Anyways you guys work hard, I love your commentary and there is something very satisfying about the crunch of an old beater. Keep up the good work👍.
10:46 that's the actual shift mechanism. There's no physical connection between the shift handle at the wheel and the gearbox. Car Wizard can tell you all about that.
Good eye on the transmission shifter box. You cannot get those anymore, only ones at a salvage yards now and every time they come up for sale they are gone quick. Too bad you didn’t have that would be worth about $1500 if it was good.
@@CowboyCarCrushing think about that word unfortunately , why does that word just not sound right , 💀💀💀💀💀😀😀😯😉😈😈😈, somebody found the car crusher near a graveyard , so technically in heathen war space , the car crusher is a highly treasured car crushing device .😀😀😯😉😈😈😈 , but it has been done before , by that devil guy john leguizamo in the movie 007 .
Why in gods name would you crush that bentley?!?! I don`t get it. there would always be someone to save and restore that car or sell tons of parts from it. WHY did you guys crush it?
As someone who knows how they cost to maintain and repair, especially when bought used, I can assure that if you don't have the money to buy it new, you don't have the money to buy it used.
Chrysler products in the 60s had left hand threads on the left hand side lug nuts. Also some trucks and wartime MB/ GPW jeeps. It was some weird theory about the direction of rotation on the left hand side of the car unscrewing right hand thread nuts. But really, that only applies when the nut is directly screwed onto the axle, as in a horse drawn cart.
My 1967 dodge Dart Sport 273 4 barrel had left hand threads. My Dad was going to do me a favor and get a tire fixed for me. I picked a piece of metal up at the foundry I worked. He broke three before he realized they were left hand thread. I should say only on the drivers side. Passenger regular threads.

If the Bentley Mulsanne sedan is indeed NOT a LWB model however, in the year 1986 only 48 models in LHD had been made. In model year 1987 only 30 LHD ever left the factory....again in regards to actual weight 4,980 Pounds.
Either way, I must say quite a rare car these days.
Damn Cowboy. That was hard to watch, when you crushed that Bentley. The guys an A** for junking it. He should have stripped it clean . Doors, hood and trunk lid. Interior, motor and transmission. If they were good. Rolls and Bentley used GM Transmissions for decades. Hard to watch. Still an EXCELLENT VIDEO.Always fun to watch. Loyal viewer.
In 15 years of working junk cars not 1 time has anyone ever asked for any Bentley parts. The man had posted it for 2 damn years. Nothing, zero action on it. I showed that car in a video 6 maybe 8 months ago. No one said anything about it. Not worth name calling on that junk that no one wanted. Really wasn't expecting that from you William
@@CowboyCarCrushing It could have been a flood car, or have a blown motor. Used ones in those years don't bring much. Just hard to see a 1/4 million dollar car in a yard get crushed. No disrespect.
You have to know where to look for buyers. There are several shops in the US that only deal with Rolls-Royce and Bentley restorations. They will buy parts or even whole cars, but you need to contact them. Park Ward Museum in Chicago is one.
@@michaeltutty1540 You're CORRECT. TOTALLY! MY GRAMPS WORKS FOR SOME REAL SUPER RICH PEOPLE ON FISHER ISLAND, MIAMI FL. THEY OWN A FLEET OF ROLLS.R. BENTLY TOO. HE MAINTAINS THEIR FLEETS! THEY HAD PARTS BOUGHT FROM A PARTED OUT BENTLY PARTS CAR, AND PAID A LOT AS PARTS ARE HARD TO FIND. THE BENTLY HAD A COLLISON! HE JUST CRUSHED A FORTUNE IN PARTS😩😩😩😩💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💲💲💳💳💳💳💳💱💳💳💲💲💲💲
@@michaeltutty1540 If the buyers just sit around and wait for people to come to them, this is the result. These yards don't have staff to sit around and look for prospective buyers. The buyers have to come to them.
Noticed the grill was gone. What do you want to bet someone bought it to slap on their Chrysler 300?
Thats exactly what they bought it for lol
I won't cry for that car because I know that if don't have the money to buy it new, you don't have the money to care for a used one.
That's a good point right there 👍 I like that
Honestly, I'm surprised someone didn't buy the Bently even in the condition it's in, take it home and put plastic hubcaps on it that look like fancy wheels with spinners and park it in their driveway, or Section 8 apartment complex parking lot, in the ghetto so they make sure their neighbors see it but only wash and wax it at 2 a.m. so the neighbors don't see and think it's being driven still. I bet the front tire got shredded like that from the driver running from the Po-Po going over spike strips as they say in the hood.
Values of those cars plummet if the owners neglect or abuse the car. Most end up in private yards instead of commercial yards.
It’s over 30 yrs old it’s a classic
Yeah exactly, Americans can't see this.🤠🌎
@10:18 some old Bentleys & Rolls Royce have reversed threaded lug nuts too.....go figure.....probably the car was junked when they had the flat right front tire .....couldn't find the key & couldn't figure out how to get the wheel off with the reverse threaded lugs 🤣
It might be the reason lol
That Bently would've made a real unique ratrod
Damn, I would've brought that Bentley.
Well dang
Bought
Next week, Cowboy crushes a Mclaren F1 "Not my car, we just get hired bro"
🤣🤣🤠👍👊
Could have been a Friday Bentley. .you could have put it in the corner just to have some yard art. Sat in it for lunch. Lol. Made brum brum noises..lol. thinking the body's were aluminium anyways.
All those parts, just getting crushed!
I saw a nice pair of roof bars for my car in the background, they go for like £250 2nd hand used ones!! 😳😲⚠️
I'm sure those Bently rims will end up on a Corolla someplace🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Surprised some collector didn't pick up the Bentley....but then again some of the "junk" people do collect (yeah, I know beauty is in the beholder....)
Corolla has 4 lugs. Won't bolt up
@@CowboyCarCrushing where there's a will there a way. You wouldn't belive the rides I see up here....🤣🤣🤣
Its a junkyard...these cars are there for a reason guys. While it sucks seeing a classic get crushed, they most likely ended up at the yard because they are beyond repair. Its easy to say, "oh should have saved it!" Ya, time, money and space. I daily a 1998 Buick LeSabre, clean body and frame. Its going to Kenny U Pull end of summer. Needs an exhaust and subframe...just too much money to fix it which is why classics end up here.
That car was plum nasty on the inside 😝
To think, in 20 - 30 years time. These cars will be worth a fortune.
For this guy. Not today.
I'm not a "car guy". Im the perfect person for the job 🤠👍
Obviously the engine of the Bentley was broken, and then they end up parted out..or crushed by our cowboy friend. For us the sad thing is that we just bought body parts for a customer car like this for over 2400 euro's...We can use video this for customers who want to spent to much on their cars... will be shocking for them....😁
Really surprised the Bentley didn't have a moon roof
That was clean too.
They don’t build them like that any more
What is the 4ord thing?
@@CowboyCarCrushing I’ve upgraded to a Ford. There are pictures on my IG so decided to change my name and logo.
Noooooo. Not the Bentley. And a Ford at the start??? Such a Purdy blue.
Look at all these poor souls rotting away dreaming for someone to rescue them but alas most suffer the fate of either rotting away or get crushed and sent to the scrap heap rest in peace cars
Something has to be done with them. One option is to call me 👍🤠
You know that the part alone of these car are marketable ?...
There is a specialist repairer in England who buys Rolls Royce and Bentley wrecks no matter the era or the condition, because these cars are small series, not like their contemporary counterparts badged BMW or VW which are real shit has one arm; compared to the old ones.
So it's very stupid to destroy one of these , because all the parts are recoverable on this type of car , it's not a Bad Fomoco for poor people ...
It's not me, who loses precious money doing stupid things like this.
This ain't the UK
@@CowboyCarCrushing ahah it's USA , the country of car , one more or one less nothing to f.... Lol =) I guess if these cars were destroyed there was a good reason, otherwise they are leaving in pieces.
Unfortunately when you get a puncture in an old Bentley, its more economical to crush it instead....
Sounds like he had a lot of fun at his job! Well done. Don´t stop
The Bentley you're going to crush. I saw a 1985 when I looked on my phone. Went for about 45,000. If you look at a 2024 a brand new one goes for like 540,000 a half a million a lot of money. Thank you.
Thank you Paul 👍🤠
@@CowboyCarCrushing and thank you cowboy car crushing appreciate the response back. Boy a new Bentley cost a half a million boy. You'd have to have money to get that. I'll watch one of your videos again very soon. Thank you and God bless. Good luck to you.
Why you don't recycle the materials of these cars?
You should be more careful! You’re scratching the paint on the Bentley!
Minor damage..no biggie 🤣🤣
It’s sad to know these cars where once on the highway rolling. Yes, sad because I love cars.
It's totally okay to like cars. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I like cars but in a different way. Cars feed my family and provide me with entertainment. 🤔 i guess im a car guy but in a different sense of it
@@CowboyCarCrushing yes it’s sad to see but I like seeing it 😂 if that makes sense 😂
Bentley's manufacturer got one thing right: They made them out of metal! Left-hand threads on the lug nuts. Sounds like a typical Bentley. The next time Cowboy crushes a Bentley with the wheels on, he'll know what to tell his ground man to help him get the tires off! 😊👍
The amount of possible profit they are losing from crushing those perfectly good parts
It's mind boggling. Lets crush it for 500 when we could part it out for 10 grand..makes no sense
Did you look for the key to the hub caps in the glove box? :D
That Bentley was trashed. Not worth saving unless someone has deep pockets and shallow brains.
I hear ya brother. I can't believe all the cry babies over that junk
Not many business savvy scrap yards would have scrapped that car with thousands of pounds are good parts to strip off
Oh come Abid. No need to insult and ones knowledge of "business savvy". Do you see all the other cars available for parts? So you would run a scrap yard hoping and praying 1 car is going to but the business in the black? Slow down. It was 1 junk car
1987 BENTLEY ORIGINAL PRICE $26,100 TO $47,300.
What was wrong with the Bentley that it needed to be crushed?
That really is a waist!!
My friend used some front seats in his man cave they were very comfortable.
So I used my old mk10 jag seats in the same way and they were great!!
Trust me, you would not have wanted anything from the inside of that car 😝
1987 Bentleys in around $80,000 and are still worth in drivable condition $17,000 and up. Parts are even more expensive as they’re rare. That electric motor beside the transmission might be overdrive. Biggest trouble are the suspension mineral oil leaks and awful unreliable fuel injection system. That Bentley was too far gone mechanically. That old W140 white Mercedes, in the background, was better built then British cars, but like Bentley, worth nothing when broken. Wonder what engine big white Benz had?
Hey Burden thanks for watching and commenting 👍 I sure appreciate it. That car was gone. I think I should have showed the inside 😝 it was awful
Words like, "Goddamn Asshole!" come to mind.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤠👍👊
That Bentley was made of galvanized steel it wt in at 6800 lbs. And yes they and the rolls were nothing but expensive junk.
Tell that to the rest of these folks 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching and commenting👍👊🤠
My Uncle bought a new 71 ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER SHADOW. I learned to drive in that car, and took my drivers test with it. It was a magnificent vehicle. To anyone who has never ridden or driven one, well, its hard to explain how wonderful it is. He kept it for about 15 years, put well over 100.000 miles on it, and it served very well, and he never told me he had ANY serious issues with it. When he sold it, it still looked and ran like new.
That part underneath was the electronic shift box. The transmission gear selector shifted electronically. That's what allowed the shifter to be silky smootn.
Smooth like budda 🤠👍
Coincidentally CarWizard another youtube channel that does work on these exotics just had a video this week that those shift servo motors are super hard to find and aren't made anymore. Only reason I knew what it was.
Your a freakin surgeon with that lift man. Salute 🤣
Slice and dice
That Bentley had a GM Turbo 400 in it. That motor thing was the shifter servo.
Thank ya Daniel. Never seen anything like that
I think this Bentley will be a highly sought-after collector's item in car classic collectors in 20 years' time. You should have kept these sir!😇
I doubt it when everything is electric loud manual sports cars will be the collectibles not these oversized boats
It wasn't mine to keep. We just do the crushing
Sad story....🥲@@CowboyCarCrushing
Procedural question - why do some junkyards send in cars or trucks full of engines and transmissions?
Wouldn't they be able to send them out as cores to be remanufactured? Or are they usually junk or undesirable models?
I'm guessing not a lot of LS Chevys or Cummins diesels get crushed and sent to the shredder.
It probably depends both on what engine it is, and what condition it's in.
I work at a crushing yard in Orlando and we jerked out all the motors and trannies and sell them as aluminum combos for scrap. We get more per pound that way
@@Carcrusher1998 but that place isn't a "crushing" yard
@@CowboyCarCrushing we have a picking yard also, if the motors don't sell out the vehicles they still get pulled and put in the container for aluminum combo scrap
Cool to see what juicy whips have ended up in the junkyard. Would all be fixed up here unless complete total losses.
Caught my eye: E53, E65s, W140s, Impreza, Legacy
Couldn't agree more - whenever I hear OBS it's like nails on a chalkboard.
I hate that term
Cowboys work from the back of a horse. You ride a Deer. John Deere!!! Love y’all.
Hoovie from Hoovies garage channel on TH-cam needs a Bentley centre hube right now, price for just one? $1600.
What a dopey waste.
The car was posted all over the web. Who does the searching. 🤔 if i remember right i posted video on it 6 to 8 months ago
@@CowboyCarCrushing we all wish we had a crystal ball eh😊.
Anyways you guys work hard, I love your commentary and there is something very satisfying about the crunch of an old beater. Keep up the good work👍.
The Bentley in the video and many others were built in the factory in my home town, all Bentley's are still built there to this day
What city is it. I'm curious
10:46 that's the actual shift mechanism. There's no physical connection between the shift handle at the wheel and the gearbox. Car Wizard can tell you all about that.
I fitted one to a customer's car earlier this month. The part cost more than the scrap value of this car.
Good eye on the transmission shifter box. You cannot get those anymore, only ones at a salvage yards now and every time they come up for sale they are gone quick. Too bad you didn’t have that would be worth about $1500 if it was good.
How would I be able to test if it was good?
I would have LS swapped that Bentley
Cummins 👍🤠
You want to talk factory , so you're crushing your grandfather's Bentley .😀😀😀😀😯😉😈😈😈😈😎😎💀💀💙
Unfortunately I never met either of my grandfathers. They both passed away before I was born 😔
@@CowboyCarCrushing think about that word unfortunately , why does that word just not sound right , 💀💀💀💀💀😀😀😯😉😈😈😈, somebody found the car crusher near a graveyard , so technically in heathen war space , the car crusher is a highly treasured car crushing device .😀😀😯😉😈😈😈 , but it has been done before , by that devil guy john leguizamo in the movie 007 .
I give you credit for putting in the hours👍Have a restful Sunday!🤠
Why in gods name would you crush that bentley?!?! I don`t get it. there would always be someone to save and restore that car or sell tons of parts from it. WHY did you guys crush it?
A whole yard of crushed hopes and dreams.
Lot's of heartbreak in these junkyards
As someone who used to work in those, this was extremely satisfying.
Cool...at least that's 2 of us that enjoyed it 🤠👍
@@CowboyCarCrushing hoping for more British junk to meet the crusher. 🤣
@@bandwagon240 stick around Bubba. Plenty of that junk to crush 🤣🤠👍

As someone who knows how they cost to maintain and repair, especially when bought used, I can assure that if you don't have the money to buy it new, you don't have the money to buy it used.
Cowboy you had me laughing 😅 a little when you said stupid car. I don't know why but it struck a funny bone
Why? That hurts to watch. Even if it didn't run,you could park it in your driveway and act like a; big shot.Oh the humanity!!!
Crazy that no parts got sold
Wrong junkyard. for this car
Chrysler products in the 60s had left hand threads on the left hand side lug nuts. Also some trucks and wartime MB/ GPW jeeps. It was some weird theory about the direction of rotation on the left hand side of the car unscrewing right hand thread nuts. But really, that only applies when the nut is directly screwed onto the axle, as in a horse drawn cart.
Those doors are worth 6000 each let alone the bonnet boot windows etc. The chrome strip on the bonnet is about 900 bucks ?
Oh and what about those beautiful chrome door mirrors, so sad!
@@habsom1406 yep😥
How much is the badge i pulled of worth?
You are awesome 😎 with that front end loader!!!
Cheers
The loader is to notch. It makes me look better than i am
Hand built, hydraulically destroyed.
🤣🤣👍👊🤠
That's a shame. Only around of 2000 units of the Bentley Muslanne's where build.
Pretty rare 😳
Why do you leave the wheels and tires on?
Cheers
this one hurt. please tell me you at least got the brake jars off. theyre about 300-500 a piece
Just took some badges
My 1967 dodge Dart Sport 273 4 barrel had left hand threads. My Dad was going to do me a favor and get a tire fixed for me. I picked a piece of metal up at the foundry I worked. He broke three before he realized they were left hand thread. I should say only on the drivers side. Passenger regular threads.
This guy definitely has no shame in his game !!! He just crushes anything no matter what !! That Bentley could of brought alot of profit but instead lets crush it !!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Welcome to Cowboy Car Crushing 🤠👍
Was a Bentley
Now just bent
I am a little surprised they weren't able to sell more off it though. GM transmission there if nothing else.
you have no idea how much the parts on that Bentley are worth even second hand lol, second hand grill for that is around $1500
The grill was gone
@@CowboyCarCrushing that was just an example of one parts value
@@MikeZak101 you know what's so funny. Everyone comments about how much parts are worth that are gone and melted down by now. But no one says how much that badge i saved is worth. It's the only thing left of that car
@@CowboyCarCrushing about $90, you happy now
