Back in 76, the police dept in the city near me was convinced to buy a batch of police spec Nova's, somehow the number 25 comes to mind. Well, within a year of daily street patrol use, and any number of high speed chases, they were all trashed. At least two had the entire front subframes torn out from trying to jump curbs. The survivors were pulled from patrol work, repaired and given to detectives to use. Meanwhile, they went back to full size Chevy's for patrol.
Yep St Louis Police had a flock of em. I recall one giving chase to an early 70's Camaro thru a city scaped house-to-house neighborhood. Both cars squealed in excessive body roll round a corner and proceeded up the narrow side street.Watching from my friend's porch I thought I hope that moron doesn't intend to cross the busy 4 lane Grand avenue four blocks up. Well there came this faint boooom and a rather large FLASH,almost like an incoming RLG. By the time we rushed up to the point of impact,, there, in the middle of the street was a Codorba, sliced perfectly in half,,right at the firewall, the entire front clip, spotless,crumble free with the engine and transmission intact. The rest of the car==20feet away. At the other side of the intersection that Camaro stood completely upright on it's nose--nare a scratch, leaning against a wooden light pole. The mighty Nova had served it's civic purpose, resting just sort of the most bizare wreckages I've ever witnessed.
Hey Tim, Nice Nova with 350 V-8 you picked up, it looked to be a real (Police Package) Nova in pretty good shape. I loved this video. many cool big trucks that I hope did not get scraped. Thanks Tim
My first vehicle ever was a k5, if only you where closer I’d buy that blue one from you in a heartbeat! I really hope you or someone that buys it from you fixes it up it totally deserves to be back on the road! Thank you for giving so many cars and trucks a chance at life again!
As much as I enjoyed looking at the vehicles, the location they were at with the plains vista in the background and blue sky made them even more beautiful. Probably the most scenic video you've ever done. The still shots at the end are worthy of framing. Nice work.
Never seen so many propane powered tractors, didn't really even know it was a thing. Never even saw one at any antique tractor show. Guy had a pretty good collection on the pickup trucks, quite a few there I wouldn't mind having. Hopefully some get saved from the scrapyard. Thanks for sharing.
Up here in SD, there are still quite a few of them. One neighbor of mine had a lot of 2 cyl JD's, another guy has all the old allis chalmers, my cousin has a couple of mm's. They started better in cold weather and ran super clean. I think the power was slightly less than with gasoline, but it ran cheaper too.
@@johnellis8480 yea, propane boils at about -40f, so cold weather is a problem, but diesel doesn't do to well at those temps either. Now days most guys have heated shops, so the diesel is king.
My parents owned a propane powered tractor from the mid-'70s until about 2014. It was an old Model 600 Case. A 1956 or 1957. I have heard that Case only made them for one model year. But I don't recall if it was '56 or '57. It was a great tractor, for the minor purposes we used it for around the farm. The only problem we ever had with it, was keeping the battery charged. Since it wasn't one of our daily-use tractors, it might sit in the shed for weeks without being started. So, whenever we knew that we were going to be using it, we would have to put the battery charger on it beforehand.😁
@@willhorting5317 I had a Case 700, gas burner, narrow front, selectomatic, great haying tractor. Wish I had it back, the guy that has it, restored it and went through everything, maybe someday I'll have it again.
I always feel bad when someone calls a 76 nova or that body type rare. I scrapped so many of them back in the day! Probably if I couldn't sell them then I'd still scrap them lol!
Mr. B. Here ! This very informative many of these vehicles disappeared here in the North East, as kid I saw many on the road ! Oh ! Did the 4 door Oldsmobile sell? Thanks for the trip ! 😊😊😊
At 32:21:00, yeah, that's a sprayer. It's just missing the outriggers. Some were tractor-based and some were made into that weird contraption you see there. That row of tractors..wow..those are old sexy beasts..
22:40 that's a '63 Ford. It was Rangoon Red, but it looks like someone painted it white at some point. I'd be very interested in a restorable '64 F-100, double points for a flareside (stepside) bed.
My dad farmed 4 quarters of land with a case 500 diesel here in Alberta mid seventies and he put new liners pistons bearings valves ground in heads injection pump rebuilt the old case started without ether and when he had his farm sale it still purred and sold for 600 bucks
Good scores there, especially the 9C1 Nova(do a walk around PLEASE), Caprice & 79 K5(walk round also please. That crewcab IH is also good resale potential, for what its worth.
I sold a Chevy 76 nova they aren’t that rare but the 350. Package helped . That dodge single and duel cab sell fast it cost a lot to restore and a place to set them . The IH wrecker and 58 and 59 sell good . The Chevy pickup you looked at went high .
That 41-46 chevy dump should go good to the MVCC collector crowd ,, paint it olive drab with white stars on the doors and you can rent to the movie house for WW2 action
Just noticed your 1963 Chevy truck has the orange turn signal lights which was the first year they were available. As I have said before, not all makes or models switched to orange frontal turn signal lights at the same time. example, The heavier duty 62 and 63 GMC trucks parked side by side were identical with white lights. I have noticed all cars made 1962 and earlier were not equipped with orange lights on the front.
Fascinating info, thanks Ernie! Now that you mention it, the 1962 and 1963 Fairlanes used the same front bumper lights both years. And the '62 had clear lenses, while the '63 were orange
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Hi again Tim Although most North American cars seemed to switch to orange turn signal lights in 1963, there were a lot that reverted back to the clear lense since then. My father's 1965 Galaxie had just gone back to white turn signal lights on the front. I had seen some pre-1963 cars that had been refitted with orange lights. I wonder if the imported cars such as Volkswagen made the changeover at the same time.
That one went to Pueblo Colorado with Steve Snyder. You can see a tour of his yard in my video "Yard Report: Vintage 1930s to 1980s cars at Snyder's in Pueblo Colorado! Junkyard cars & trucks tour". His contact number is in the video description
Case 500 is the predecessor to the LA model. Farmall is a F20. Moline G1000 models were highly sought after by collectors a few years ago.AL B.Field sprayer could be a Hardi with Wisconsin V4 power.
Thats right, and those taillights were used from 1974 to 1977 for Camaro. Easy to recognize a 1974 model with its small rear window. During the last three years of the 1970s Camaros and Firebirds had grill and light changes, but at different times. So I won't elaborate on that yet.
Looking for convertible cars between 1935-1947 model's any make junkyard barnfind projects preferred kindly please send details if you have any information
I had an early Ranger as at 36:24 bought in ‘86 and daily driven almost 34 years. The C30 next to it is similar to my daily now which is a bit of an oddball. C30 fender badging but C20 on the VIN. Three quarter ton wheels without duals and very heavy duty suspension with quad shocks in the rear. Great video, I enjoy these very much
Thanks man! I like your video's of these auctions! That truck reminds me of the one I learned to drive in! That yellow color but with a white cab roof! And grill guard!
You live where there are so many trucks and cars that buying everything is really just tying up money for a rare piece that might pop up and if your money is not in hand, ya miss it. I seen rigs I might of went a ways on.. the 56 ford cab seemed to be a fairly easy to bring back and those are still high dollar when in shape that someone else can finish. Learning how much to put in and leave for the next guy is really the thing to watch close as your only going to get so much, if ya put too much in, its just money that you will never get back. I ain't sure about the turn out for this one, just guessing this one should not of got a high turn out and maybe leave a guy a chance to make a good dollar on them. Funny how those rats decided on making one truck a condo for most of the critters to live in.. almost raising the hood on their own/LOL
That rear window on them 2 door post buick specials is not reproduced and ate worth a good chunk of money the ht 2 door window is available though . I've gotten as much as $400 bucks for them 2 door post back windows.
I’m always surprised to see how few Jeeps you find. I suspect they lacked utility. I’m a regular viewer for the reason that you use the term juxtaposition.

Some good cars and trucks to be saved out of that yard , well done sir well done !
Found a little gold mine there in Kansas. Thank you for sharing! 💯
Wow! What a great collection! Every old truck ever made! Some are very salvageable!
The C30 dually flatbed is very savable at 36:24
Tim, ya gotta start showing some love to those International trucks!
Great job. That Nova squad car is very unusual. It should be restored. Can't be many that survived.
Very happy you got some good stuff!
