Yep. Want to adopt most of them and bring them back to life. Unfortunately I am too old to save all but we'll do the best we can with what we have. Thanks for watching, Allen.
I used to visit this place in the late 90,s. It wasn't grown over in weeds and trees back then. Mr. Vickers had no problem letting us drive around looking. It was like going back in a time capsule. His prices were very good back then also.
I used to visit his cousin's junk yard near by, back in the 70's. Lol. Both guys are reasonable. The place is really grown up for sure but a great place to hang out and visit. He welcomes everyone to wander around for as long as you like. Glad to take you back in time and thanks for watching.
He is a cool guy and so is the "Old Man" Terry. Tell Terry I called him a fossil, lol. You can easily spend the day there. Enjoy the trip and thanks for watching.
Cecil and Terry are cool guys. Prices are reasonable and he has some old, hard to find parts. I always enjoy going there. Thanks for leaving us a comment, Michael.
You found another good yard, this brings back memories of all the cars that were in the yards I used to hit for parts. You did find a rare piece in that 66 Lemans. I was stationed with a guy that had one with the OHV six and it ran pretty good. The old chevy that Tena liked looks like the 49 Deluxe I drove through high school. I hope you had a good veteran's day, after all it is our holiday. That wasn't a very hard one to guess about your next toy. I'm ready to hit some more yards, keep the videos coming.
Thanks, Jerry. USAF 68-72. I like the OHC Lemans. Heck, I would like to have the engine just for a shop ornament, lol. Never rode in one but my neighbor had a 62 Tempest with the 4 (389 cut in half). That little car would fly. We appreciate you watching.
Awesome Junk yard Iwould love to visit and would definately leave with something but I cant cause Im in New Zealand. Thanks for posting was super cool.
I was excited by your video icon . Thinking you were going to do another build . But this time on a 1960's Pontiac . I had a 60's Bonnaville , and a Catalina , and was hoping to see you do a Pontiac . But , good show (Tease) of cars there at Vicks anyway .
I had a 66 GTO convertible once, Dave. Wish I had a 65 GTO now. That 65 Catalina is rare. Just a little too expensive for me at an asking price of 7K. Thanks for watching, Dave.
I live 25 miles from there. Been there many times. Yeah I'm sure California has land laws to where the state makes folks clean up junk yards like this or some regulation. There is a ton of cars here that if you need a fender, hood, trim you'd most likely find what you need. The problem is - go here in the winter time when nothing is leaved out. When all the leaves have grown it's hard to get to anything or see anything. So go in the fall and winter when the leaves have fallen off.
You and me too on buying the entire yard. I did buy a 56 Ford engine there about 2 weeks ago. The Pontiac and Charger are real gems. We appreciate you watching and leaving a comment, Todd.
David Pearson was my hero growing up. The Ole Silver Fox,, got his autograph on a dollar bill in 1968, got to go check out that parts yard there, heck I'm pretty close, Walhalla S.C.
David was the man. He was hard to beat on the super speedways. Hard to beat in his younger years at the local dirt tracks. The man who taught me auto mechanics gave David his first ride. Walhalla is a cool little town.
The IROC was cheap! It's battle scared with some hail damage but it's complete. Shouldn't be too hard a project. I'll probably just drive it for a while until I decide what engine it needs. Thanks for watching.
Lol. I think he is a cash only kind of guy. I bought a tri-five rear, a 727 tranny and a Nova front suspension clip from him last week. Would gladly give him a worthless check. :) Thanks for watching.
There is (or maybe was) a junkyard like this in a very very small town in south Texas. The guy just passed away Feb 2020 at age 95. So at this point I am not sure if the family has taken over the business or if it still up and running. He had the coolest of many classics cars and trucks, even early farm tractors. He had this junkyard for many many years. I believe since after WWII. I would just drive around in there just to see what he had. One of the most oldest of unsold cars he had there for as long as I can remember is a REO Speedwagon truck I used to see him come up with some of the collest and even unusual of vehicles. He would travel anywhere to buy these vehicles. One time he and 2 others drove back dring 1950s model Greyhound buses. I seen him bring in old 1930s model firetrucks. Most of the time this stuff would not last very long and sold quickly.
Yes Sir. I remember when there were great old junkyards all around my small town and others throughout the state. One just down the street had great cars from the 30's-60's. When he died, the family sent them all to the crusher. Sad. Wish it was like that now. Thanks for sharing your story, nazfan01.
I don't recall the Mercedes. Guess I need to take another look. Actually, I need to go back there and shoot more video. So much I missed and Cecil keeps bringing in new ( old ) cars. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment!
348 Fat boy OH yes. This man has sold a lot of parts and lots of glass. Thanks for sharing with us. Just thinking you never know when someone needs that one dash item to complete their work. Keep helping us indyme2 and you to Miss "T" Don
Thanks, Don. The old "W" engines were cool. Lots of torque but heavy pistons. Rex White won the 1960 NASCAR championship with one of those engines. He was from my home town. We revisit Mr. Hudson's yard with video later this week.
I love this place. He will let you wander around for hours and encourages you to do so. Some great iron there that needs to be saved. Thanks for watching, Keith.
I don't recall if there were any Studes on the property or not. Would love to find a 53 Starliner for myself. Beautiful cars ahead of their time. We appreciate you watching and leaving a comment!
I remember in California bay area by my home right by the bay they had a huge wrecking yards until the inveromentelist came in and got rid of all the wreaking yards. All those old car's got either smashed or shipped off to other wreaking yards in the United States. I know this one guy moved to Texas to open a wreaking yard and took some of his car's truck's there.
@@indyme2 I thought it was only in California I remember a tow truck's driving around town in the mid 80's dragging car's truck's out of people's drive ways back yards. That messed it up for us guys that would buy the car for low buck and have it tow home to get it running. That's how I did my last car a 1947 Chevy coupe stylemaster had to get it running at home and needed a few other things brakes, radiator, tires
It would be kewl if they had local Community Collage, Trade School and High School auto mechanics and auto body students (with instructors) go through these places (after some clean up) and evaluate the condition for useful parts or complete restorable vehicles (numbers matching prefered)? It would be good to relocate all of them somewhere to reduce further damage by their environment possible?
I used to teach Auto Mechanics at the local technical college. Most students in high school or tech have their own cars they are trying to work on and don't really have time for anything else. I agree with you that it would be a good idea for some auto classes to take in one or two project cars from these junk yards, fix and auction off at the end of the year. The money could go into an a fund for future projects and tools / equipment. Great idea!
Great video At 7:21 makes me sad/cry as I used to own one I restored before I moved back to the UK I would buy the Oldsmobile and restore it so I could relive old times
We ran through there so fast I didn't get to spend enough time looking at most of those cars.I like the body style of that Olds. Don't remember what condition it is in but would like to see someone restore it. Bet you have some memories in that car,, lol. Thank you for watching and leaving us a comment.
You may not believe this but it's true back in the 80s and 90s there were a lot of them 66 model chargers in mint shape they were built into stock cars also within the next 10 days I will be in South Carolina and I took these numbers and address down so I can pay this gentleman a visit thank you for the video wish there were places like that up here in the North
Joe, pay a visit to Cecil Vickers. He has brought in more cars since I shot this video. I have to go back soon and shoot more video there. He is a cool guy and loves for people to wander around for hours looking.Thanks for watching.
Mon with all those car's there you could pull out the most pulled apart car and make a sweet KUSTOM if the owner of that yard let you have any parts on the car. Draw it out on paper first. Then gather up all the parts and pull it back to the shop to put the body together. My buddy built his own Kustom 51 Ford shoe box using many diffrent car parts and it all look like went together like it was made for the car.
The pink Rambler was still there last time I visited this Spring. Someone had smashed in the windshield as I recall. We considered adopting it but are too deep in projects. Thanks for watching.
what a shame some of those cars rotting out in a field, i have a 1969 Torino GT 428. If those 2 Fords were cleaned up right they can bring a nice chunk of paper and gettin them back on the road lookin fine. sweet rides
some of the cars you said are too rough to save or like the Rambler wagon being impossible to get parts for were wrong. I could restore many of them and would have loved to have that 58 Chevy 2 door to restore. If you were to see the cars here in northern Minnesota that get restored youd be amazed by how rusted they started out as.
I have some restored that I thought didn't have a chance. I guess if you have enough money, skill, time and patience anything can be restored. I like that 58 too. If it had a 348 in it I would have bought it. Hope someone saves them all! Thanks for watching.
@@indyme2 the 58 has been my brothers dream car for 50 years and each time he has tried to get one something prevented it. As for the Pontiac, my brother had a 65 Bonneville ragtop and my mom had a 66 Catalina wagon so they brig back memories. what are his prices on those 2? if possible can you message me instead of general posts if you can get that info? thank you
@@indyme2 cars up here rust away really fast because of the roads up here having so much sand with salt put on them to get rid of the ice in the winter. sand with salt on snow and ice makes it sticky and sloppy n wet so cars are basically given a salt bath all winter. the end result is those iron moths eat the bottom out of the cars in just a few years
@@todddenio3200 Can't reach you by pm. No info on your channel, Todd. Contact Cecil direct as I haven't a clue what he wants for the cars. The number is in the video. Good luck!
@@todddenio3200 We are lucky here in SC, Todd. Rarely do we use salt on roads. Cars sitting and getting covered with pine needles is what hurts them here. The pine needles trap water and result in rust. Hope you can get one of those dream cars to restore. Post video if you do. We want to follow the restoration.
Nice video and nice cars, thanks for showing. But it's a shame to see those cars rusted away. As I see it it's a cultural treasure being lost for ever. Sad. Hope that many of these cars get a byer and are being restored.
That is one of the main reasons for these video. Find a home for some of these cars. I hope someone comes to the rescue before it's too late. Thanks for watching.
Very sad to see all those classic car slowly rotting away. In the same time glad the junk yard ower still has them rather than crushing them for scrap metal.
Drove through Lancaster a couple of week ago headed to Chester. Hasn't changed any. Got a call to do an asbestos survey on several properties. Must be some kind of future building planned. Love the Broad River!
The Ford Truck is a 1942-47 half ton pickup with a Dodge Pickup Truck Bed. What's known in the circuit as the "Ugly Duckling Years" Anyway does Mr. Vick have any 1971 Chevy Nova's ? I need a hood.
Sorry, there were no Nova' s last time I was there. I am going back soon and will ask anyway. Thanks for the info on the truck. I took another look at it on this video and it's so ugly that I actually like it. Could make a cool rat rod. Yep, gotta take another look. Thanks for watching and for the information on the ugly duckling truck!
The guy that has a video with his wife called Russ lady and they were redoing her Studebaker or her Plymouth Valiant and you were redoing your automobile that was a great show it sounds like you
Can't help you with the wife, Roy. Not sure anyone can, lol! Still some good projects left here but they are going fast. This video helped wipe out the best ones fast. Thanks for stopping in. Stay warm up there.
@@indyme2 "look at the pretty car honey... I'll fix it up just for you...." Might just work. lol naw, she's pretty good about the cars around here. Just wants a project done at some point.
Cecil Vickers is very reasonable. Bought from him last weekend. Gives you an even better price if you offer to pull the parts yourself. Thanks for stopping in.
@@CycolacFan We were looking at a 59 and 64 Rambler wagon just last weekend. The 59 is too far gone for me but the 64 is a fairly easy project. We may grab that one.
@@CycolacFan It's a wagon. Would really like to do this one. It will probably happen if we can figure out how to get it out of the woods, lol. I always see at least 17 Camaro's at the car shows. Never see a Rambler wagon, lol.
I go there all the time. Don't tell everyone what's there, it's all mine. lol. Should mention there is a Vickers Auto Parts on down the road but it's not to be confused with Vicks Classic.
We were going there often too until the virus hit. I have something I paid for but haven't even picked up yet. Could spend days there, lol. Don't buy all my project cars, Daniel. :)
Sharp eye! I never noticed that. Not sure if it's two radios or maybe a tape player and radio. Going to take a closer look at that next time I am there. Thanks for watching!
I don't recall, Anthony. He has so many cars and more are always coming in. Give him a call. He will know or will try to find what you need. Thanks for the comment!
Not sure if it's there or not. I was there a few weeks ago getting parts for myself but didn't go to that area of the yard. I am going back this Friday if it doesn't pour rain and will check on it for you. I'll get some video too, weather permitting.
As I recall, Glenn, the interior had been gutted on that car. I was interested in it myself until I saw inside. That is probably why I didn't shoot more of it. I will take another look at it next time I am there if you are still interested? Thanks for watching.
indyme2 I had a 69 GT, I think that one was a 68, I so badly want to build another one. I’ve been looking through junkyard videos to hunt for one worthy of restoration.
Hey could you tell if that was an original 4 spd shifter in that 66 charger with the blk nob ? It looks like it's definitely a shifter there and tall enough to be the original just curious.
I'm not sure, James. I am going back next weekend to give the yard owner copies of the video. I'll get some video for you so you can get a better look.
It's a nice car and for sale. Mostly complete. The 6 lug factory wheels are worth 1500. I believe he said he wanted 5k for the car. Wish I could afford to rescue it. Thanks for watching.
I only showed some of the yard. More cars there and more arriving all the time. I spent last Friday there buying parts and saw many project cars not shown in the video that just needed a little love. Like Cecil says, " Spend the day and bring lunch." Should be something you can build. PS: Just don't buy that 70's Nova gasser I discovered. I want it, lol.
@@David-yh5po Take lunch and spend a day. It will be be fun and you may find something you want to take home. There are many I want to bring home, lol.
Watched the whole video and did not see any GTO'S. I am doing a 1965 Lemans hardtop into a GTO tribute with a 69 XF code 428/370hp motor. Looking for front and rear bumpers since mine are pretty rough. Any bumpers there? And any 64-74 GTO would have me come down for a visit from Delaware . Thanks Indyme2.
I remember seeing a Tempest or two but no GTO's. Pontiac stuff is getting hard to find. I missed a 421 Pontiac engine by one day. Man, I was sick. It was complete. Will keep my eyes open for you. Good luck with your project. Sounds great!
The 66 lemans had a “sprint six” 250 cubic inch 230 hp. Backed with a factory 3 speed and a 390 gear. Yeah it was quick. I did own one in a convertible.
indyme2 my best friend had a 66 convertible and I had the 67 convertible. His had a 326 mine had the sprint six. He could never catch me... I was a bit of a gear head...
I watched every minute of this video, yards here in the north car rot too fast and noone keeps the good classics. Heck you cant even walk the yards up here now a days...is it just me or could ya spend all day there?! I had a 70 charger 500 it was rough but still the biggest mistake I made was selling it!
Lol. I had a 70 Charger in great shape. 383 with a 4 speed. Like a dummy, I sold it soon after I got it. Go ahead...kick my butt. Thanks for watching, Tim.
My brother has a 65 Pontiac 2+2 he could use a parts car, be a shame to turn that 65 Catalina convertible into parts car, but man he could have his 2+2 pounding the pavement with it.💪
Check out my video "Rod's Cars and Parts". He has a 421 Pontiac 2+2 that is about that year. May be just what your brother needs. Thanks for stopping in.
I would like to buy a dash board out of one of those old car's to paint up real nice put a sterio in it with all the light's and put it in my home like an entertainment center that would look real good in a man's cave. With a hub cap clock then pull the trunk and make a couch/sofa out of it. Heck a one whole car can make frenature out of it make side table's just with welding two rims
No 61's. I did run across a 66 or 67 but it it pretty nice and $$$. Check out my video on "Chevy's" at Classic Cars of SC. It hasn't been up too long. I'll keep an eye our for a 61 for you.
Wow! quite the junkyard! Thanks for taking the time to give me a look at it. I enjoyed watching.
Thanks for watching, Roger. We enjoy it when you stop in to see us.
Every time I watch this I see something else I missed, What an amazing place.
I can't wait to get back. He said to bring a lunch and spend a day anytime. Going to take him up on it. Thanks for watching, Johnnie.
Ever want to cry when you see so much going to rust? Thanks for sharing...
Yep. Want to adopt most of them and bring them back to life. Unfortunately I am too old to save all but we'll do the best we can with what we have. Thanks for watching, Allen.
Damn! Thanks for takin us along and if you ever see Mr. Pearson, tell him I said thank you
Thanks for going along with us. Unfortunately Mr. Pearson had a stroke and is not doing very well. We hope he fully recovers.
I used to visit this place in the late 90,s. It wasn't grown over in weeds and trees back then. Mr. Vickers had no problem letting us drive around looking. It was like going back in a time capsule. His prices were very good back then also.

Some cool cars there, Jeff. Hope some get rescued. Thanks for watching.
Packing lunch, tent, snake bite kit; be there in 6 hours. Thank you so much for taking us with you. Seriously, I look forward to meeting Mr. Vickers
He is a cool guy and so is the "Old Man" Terry. Tell Terry I called him a fossil, lol. You can easily spend the day there. Enjoy the trip and thanks for watching.
Whenever I need rare parts Mr. Cecil has what I need! Everybody knows Vick's Classics!
Cecil is The Man! Thanks for stopping in, Michael.
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Thank you, David. We appreciate you leaving us a comment. Ya gotta love junkyards, lol.
Lost of cool cars. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching, Sam. Still welding and grinding on that Camaro? Lol.
That's right. More welding and grinding on the Camaro tomorrow. Hopefully get it fiber glassed.
Vickers is one of the best places to get used parts. And always friendly staff, will do whatever it takes to get you the part you need.
Cecil and Terry are cool guys. Prices are reasonable and he has some old, hard to find parts. I always enjoy going there. Thanks for leaving us a comment, Michael.

Yes, Sir. He and Terry are pretty laid back and easy going. Gotta get back there soon myself.
Very nice little trip there. I am wondering where my next car is going to come from. The classics are so rare here in CA.
Lots of good iron still left down here. Hope some of these get picked up. Thanks for watching, Erik.
I live 25 miles from there. Been there many times. Yeah I'm sure California has land laws to where the state makes folks clean up junk yards like this or some regulation.
There is a ton of cars here that if you need a fender, hood, trim you'd most likely find what you need.
The problem is - go here in the winter time when nothing is leaved out. When all the leaves have grown it's hard to get to anything or see anything. So go in the fall and winter when the leaves have fallen off.
Say what? I just cleaned out a wrecking yard of 2.000! Many went for scrap. Couldn’t give them away for even FREE !
The Dodge Demon nameplate only ran for '71 and '72. Starting in '73 the Dart and Duster shared the same sheetmetal. The taillights are the giveaway.
I have a Duster but prefer the Demon tail lights. Thanks for stopping in.
if I was rich, I would offer to buy the entire junk yard. seeing that 65 Pontiac convertible and 66 charger blew my mind

totally overlooked the International Scout!!
Not sure it's for sale. He wouldn't commit, as I recall. I would have been interested in it myself. Thanks for watching.
Sure love watchin your stuff,even the old stuff.
Thanks. Tend to gravitate to the old stuff because I am old, lol.
I'm in SC too
Great to have a local guy here! Thanks for stopping in.
Great video
At 7:21 makes me sad/cry as I used to own one I restored before I moved back to the UK
I would buy the Oldsmobile and restore it so I could relive old times
We ran through there so fast I didn't get to spend enough time looking at most of those cars.I like the body style of that Olds. Don't remember what condition it is in but would like to see someone restore it. Bet you have some memories in that car,, lol. Thank you for watching and leaving us a comment.
indyme2 Yh no problem
Also if I could I would go get that car if it was for sale as I’m back in the US soon
First car '62 Olds 98 likely 325 HP 394" 4 bbl...
Wish you had it back? I wish I had all my old cars back. That 62 is a cool looking Olds. Thanks for watching.
Ford truck with a one ton Dodge bed. Old Folk did thing like that back in the day. Don
Thanks for the info, Don. Cool old rust.
You may not believe this but it's true back in the 80s and 90s there were a lot of them 66 model chargers in mint shape they were built into stock cars also within the next 10 days I will be in South Carolina and I took these numbers and address down so I can pay this gentleman a visit thank you for the video wish there were places like that up here in the North
Joe, pay a visit to Cecil Vickers. He has brought in more cars since I shot this video. I have to go back soon and shoot more video there. He is a cool guy and loves for people to wander around for hours looking.Thanks for watching.
Lots of old cars , wish I could find me a chevelle but I got to finish the 64 first
The 64 is going to be sweet. A 64 Chevelle SS to match would be cool, lol. Thanks for watching.
Mon with all those car's there you could pull out the most pulled apart car and make a sweet KUSTOM if the owner of that yard let you have any parts on the car. Draw it out on paper first. Then gather up all the parts and pull it back to the shop to put the body together.
My buddy built his own Kustom 51 Ford shoe box using many diffrent car parts and it all look like went together like it was made for the car.
I agree with you, SNOOP U 2. Lots of possibilities waiting there for someone. Thanks for stopping in.
I bought a mustang fastback from him about a month ago
Great! I wanted one of the 1st gen fastback mustang's myself. Glad you saved one. Thanks.
Grizzly Rams how much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking........I live near this yard and I just wanted to know was his prices reasonable?
A lot of people would like to know where this great yard is at. What town or city is it close to?
Nice “Pink “ rambler. I could use sone parts !
The pink Rambler was still there last time I visited this Spring. Someone had smashed in the windshield as I recall. We considered adopting it but are too deep in projects. Thanks for watching.
what a shame some of those cars rotting out in a field, i have a 1969 Torino GT 428. If those 2 Fords were cleaned up right they can bring a nice chunk of paper and gettin them back on the road lookin fine. sweet rides
some of the cars you said are too rough to save or like the Rambler wagon being impossible to get parts for were wrong. I could restore many of them and would have loved to have that 58 Chevy 2 door to restore. If you were to see the cars here in northern Minnesota that get restored youd be amazed by how rusted they started out as.
I have some restored that I thought didn't have a chance. I guess if you have enough money, skill, time and patience anything can be restored. I like that 58 too. If it had a 348 in it I would have bought it. Hope someone saves them all! Thanks for watching.
@@indyme2 the 58 has been my brothers dream car for 50 years and each time he has tried to get one something prevented it. As for the Pontiac, my brother had a 65 Bonneville ragtop and my mom had a 66 Catalina wagon so they brig back memories. what are his prices on those 2? if possible can you message me instead of general posts if you can get that info? thank you
@@indyme2 cars up here rust away really fast because of the roads up here having so much sand with salt put on them to get rid of the ice in the winter. sand with salt on snow and ice makes it sticky and sloppy n wet so cars are basically given a salt bath all winter. the end result is those iron moths eat the bottom out of the cars in just a few years
@@todddenio3200 Can't reach you by pm. No info on your channel, Todd. Contact Cecil direct as I haven't a clue what he wants for the cars. The number is in the video. Good luck!
@@todddenio3200 We are lucky here in SC, Todd. Rarely do we use salt on roads. Cars sitting and getting covered with pine needles is what hurts them here. The pine needles trap water and result in rust. Hope you can get one of those dream cars to restore. Post video if you do. We want to follow the restoration.
Nice video and nice cars, thanks for showing.
But it's a shame to see those cars rusted away.
As I see it it's a cultural treasure being lost for ever. Sad.
Hope that many of these cars get a byer and are being restored.
That is one of the main reasons for these video. Find a home for some of these cars. I hope someone comes to the rescue before it's too late. Thanks for watching.
I'm wiped that place clean of the 70 71 72 Monte stuff left that was good
Dang, Jared! Save a few parts for me, lol. It's a cool junkyard. Thanks for watching.
Really bummed about the '67 Lemans Sprint-been looking for one for a long time!
I really like that car. Stick shift and OHC six. It's a great parts car or with enough love and money, could be restored. Rare. Thanks for watching.
Those ran strong back in the day... especially with the hotter 4 bbl. engine...
It could be saved. Just need $$$ and a lot of hard work. I think I'll take another look at this one. I like Pontiac's. Thanks for watching.
Very sad to see all those classic car slowly rotting away. In the same time glad the junk yard ower still has them rather than crushing them for scrap metal.
I agree. Hope they all get rescued. Thanks, chem dog.
That does it I'm moving home by spring.
Come on back. It's a great place to live.
I know it is I grew up in Lancaster and moved from NC 6 years ago to Oklahoma big mistake on my part.
Drove through Lancaster a couple of week ago headed to Chester. Hasn't changed any. Got a call to do an asbestos survey on several properties. Must be some kind of future building planned. Love the Broad River!
+Carolina Man if you don't like where you are' moove back
That 66 Lemans OHC 6 4 Bbl is a rare motor.
Rare indeed, Stephen. I would like to have it myself. Thanks for stopping in and leaving us a comment.
The Ford Truck is a 1942-47 half ton pickup with a Dodge Pickup Truck Bed. What's known in the circuit as the "Ugly Duckling Years" Anyway does Mr. Vick have any 1971 Chevy Nova's ? I need a hood.
Sorry, there were no Nova' s last time I was there. I am going back soon and will ask anyway. Thanks for the info on the truck. I took another look at it on this video and it's so ugly that I actually like it. Could make a cool rat rod. Yep, gotta take another look. Thanks for watching and for the information on the ugly duckling truck!
The guy that has a video with his wife called Russ lady and they were redoing her Studebaker or her Plymouth Valiant and you were redoing your automobile that was a great show it sounds like you
We are the same people. The Rust Queen is still working on her Valiant and my Duster right now. Thanks for stopping in, Danny. Love your comment!
They need to make him start cleaning that shit up
damn how did I not see this one? And the cars. Make me wanna buy them and more.... now, how am I gonna explain that to the wife?
Can't help you with the wife, Roy. Not sure anyone can, lol! Still some good projects left here but they are going fast. This video helped wipe out the best ones fast. Thanks for stopping in. Stay warm up there.
@@indyme2 "look at the pretty car honey... I'll fix it up just for you...." Might just work. lol naw, she's pretty good about the cars around here. Just wants a project done at some point.
He seems like a good guy to deal with, hopefully his prices are realistic since many of those are purely parts cars now.
Cecil Vickers is very reasonable. Bought from him last weekend. Gives you an even better price if you offer to pull the parts yourself. Thanks for stopping in.
That's good to know, hopefully a lot of those pieces get saved now you've filmed them.
That Rambler wagon would make a nice and unusual resto custom.
@@CycolacFan We were looking at a 59 and 64 Rambler wagon just last weekend. The 59 is too far gone for me but the 64 is a fairly easy project. We may grab that one.
indyme2 be nice to see one fixed up.
Or you could build about 17 Camaros ;-)
@@CycolacFan It's a wagon. Would really like to do this one. It will probably happen if we can figure out how to get it out of the woods, lol. I always see at least 17 Camaro's at the car shows. Never see a Rambler wagon, lol.
I go there all the time. Don't tell everyone what's there, it's all mine. lol. Should mention there is a Vickers Auto Parts on down the road but it's not to be confused with Vicks Classic.
We were going there often too until the virus hit. I have something I paid for but haven't even picked up yet. Could spend days there, lol. Don't buy all my project cars, Daniel. :)
Did I see 2 radios in the dash of that Catalina?
Sharp eye! I never noticed that. Not sure if it's two radios or maybe a tape player and radio. Going to take a closer look at that next time I am there. Thanks for watching!
Hello love your show. By the way do this junk yard have any 73 Oldsmobile Delta 88 car's
I don't recall, Anthony. He has so many cars and more are always coming in. Give him a call. He will know or will try to find what you need. Thanks for the comment!
Man I'd like to have the 55 Chevy that was the next to the 57
I tried to buy it, James, but he has no title. For parts only. Bummer!
@@indyme2 I hate that it looks to nice to part out it needs to be fixed up titles aren't hard to get today
@@jameswallace7351 I agree. I offered to buy it without a title but no go. Not sure what is really going on with this car.
1962 olds I owned one
62 was a great car. I like the 57 and 61 too plus all the early 442's. Bet you wish you had it back? Lol. Thanks for watching.
You said you saw a 1962 dodge polara 500 2dr (just after the rambler) do you know if it's still there?
Not sure if it's there or not. I was there a few weeks ago getting parts for myself but didn't go to that area of the yard. I am going back this Friday if it doesn't pour rain and will check on it for you. I'll get some video too, weather permitting.
Thankyou very much I’ll be eager to see if I can get it 👍
So sad to see all this historical cars. It hurts!
Yep, but he saved them from the crusher. Rescue one. I did. Thanks for watching.
That's like having gold outside
I agree. Wish it was my yard, lol. Thanks!
Dang I wish you would have shown the inside of Torino Gt
As I recall, Glenn, the interior had been gutted on that car. I was interested in it myself until I saw inside. That is probably why I didn't shoot more of it. I will take another look at it next time I am there if you are still interested? Thanks for watching.
indyme2 I had a 69 GT, I think that one was a 68, I so badly want to build another one. I’ve been looking through junkyard videos to hunt for one worthy of restoration.
That pontiac ohc 6 is an HO , really rare mill ! With a 4 speed ! Thats rarer than a 66 GTO !
You are correct. I keep going back to look at it. Just have too many projects on my hands. Wish it was mine! Hope someone will save it.
All cars for sale except ones up front right
Hey could you tell if that was an original 4 spd shifter in that 66 charger with the blk nob ? It looks like it's definitely a shifter there and tall enough to be the original just curious.
I'm not sure, James. I am going back next weekend to give the yard owner copies of the video. I'll get some video for you so you can get a better look.
indyme2 that would greatly appreciated. I didn't see any clutch but I'm just very curious. Thanks.
Does the 57 Chevy have a replacement left quarter panel?
Not sure, Norman. Give Cecil a ring. Thanks for watching.
What's up with the Catalina convertible?
It's a nice car and for sale. Mostly complete. The 6 lug factory wheels are worth 1500. I believe he said he wanted 5k for the car. Wish I could afford to rescue it. Thanks for watching.
Boy,I'd love to have just one so I could restore it. Where can I find one that needs work ?
Me as well it would be nice.
I only showed some of the yard. More cars there and more arriving all the time. I spent last Friday there buying parts and saw many project cars not shown in the video that just needed a little love. Like Cecil says, " Spend the day and bring lunch." Should be something you can build. PS: Just don't buy that 70's Nova gasser I discovered. I want it, lol.
@@David-yh5po Take lunch and spend a day. It will be be fun and you may find something you want to take home. There are many I want to bring home, lol.
Watched the whole video and did not see any GTO'S. I am doing a 1965 Lemans hardtop into a GTO tribute with a 69 XF code 428/370hp motor. Looking for front and rear bumpers since mine are pretty rough. Any bumpers there? And any 64-74 GTO would have me come down for a visit from Delaware . Thanks Indyme2.
I remember seeing a Tempest or two but no GTO's. Pontiac stuff is getting hard to find. I missed a 421 Pontiac engine by one day. Man, I was sick. It was complete. Will keep my eyes open for you. Good luck with your project. Sounds great!
The 66 lemans had a “sprint six” 250 cubic inch 230 hp. Backed with a factory 3 speed and a 390 gear. Yeah it was quick. I did own one in a convertible.
I just took another look at that car a couple of weeks ago. Would like to have it. Is it a ten bolt rear? Thanks for the info.
I don’t remember. I do remember it was a common size with higher gears. Loved that car on summer nights!
@@rguy2684 I had a yellow 66 convertible. 326 engine. Loved that car. Wish I had it back, lol.
indyme2 my best friend had a 66 convertible and I had the 67 convertible. His had a 326 mine had the sprint six. He could never catch me... I was a bit of a gear head...
@@rguy2684 I wish I had room to save this one. It keeps calling me. Probably have to go back and take a look again, lol.
is this place still around or better then that is he still around would like to visit this place
Stop in. He is open. Spoke with him this week. Thanks for watching.
How much for the whole place. Have cash. Retired and ready to move south!
Lol. You have the right idea. We all want this place. Thanks for watching.
I watched every minute of this video, yards here in the north car rot too fast and noone keeps the good classics. Heck you cant even walk the yards up here now a days...is it just me or could ya spend all day there?! I had a 70 charger 500 it was rough but still the biggest mistake I made was selling it!
Lol. I had a 70 Charger in great shape. 383 with a 4 speed. Like a dummy, I sold it soon after I got it. Go ahead...kick my butt. Thanks for watching, Tim.
I think were long lost brothers..haha
When was this filmed. ?
i wish i could see all junk yards by eyes not by net because i love and interested in amercan cars thankyou
I wish you could see them too. I will post another junk yard video later this week. Hope you will join us.

I need a set of 55 Chevy 2 door doors but I am in Arizona.
Is the four speed in the intro a Muncie m22?
Yes it is. I rebuilt it and it's going in my 67 Nova. Thanks for stopping in. Sorry for the late reply. I miss a post from time to time.
I've bought parts there fair price live 20 mins from there ellenboro nc
Cecil has great ,prices and there are still a lot of good cars and parts in his yards. Thanks for watching, Jo.
My brother has a 65 Pontiac 2+2 he could use a parts car, be a shame to turn that 65 Catalina convertible into parts car, but man he could have his 2+2 pounding the pavement with it.💪
Check out my video "Rod's Cars and Parts". He has a 421 Pontiac 2+2 that is about that year. May be just what your brother needs. Thanks for stopping in.
Looking for a rear defroster switch for a 1968 Camaro
He has no 1st Gen Camaro's, Steven. I believe he has a 1st Gen Firebird. Give him a call. You may get lucky. Good luck and thanks for watching.
I would like to buy a dash board out of one of those old car's to paint up real nice put a sterio in it with all the light's and put it in my home like an entertainment center that would look real good in a man's cave. With a hub cap clock then pull the trunk and make a couch/sofa out of it. Heck a one whole car can make frenature out of it make side table's just with welding two rims
Lol,.Great ideas! Why didn't I think of these?
Hey buddy hope you are well these days. Have you come across and 61 Ford Fairlane 500's?
No 61's. I did run across a 66 or 67 but it it pretty nice and $$$. Check out my video on "Chevy's" at Classic Cars of SC. It hasn't been up too long. I'll keep an eye our for a 61 for you.
