04:51 The look on Dylan's face when you suggest to shoot an episode with the Satellite says it all! Just like a kid in the candy store! Love it.
Pisses me off that there’s stuff like this sitting outside over there that’s that easy to fix and is just rutting away. I would kill to find something like that where I live.
Jim Lopez i would love that car for my first car
The reason you don't have this in your area is because the NIMBYs crushed it all.
These guys are doing the Car Gods work. As long as they can keep their collections, the cars are safe.
Easy to fix? Pfft you should see my 850 that i have been working on every week for the past 6 months
Jim Lopez same
That would cost 50,000 where I live...
coming from a guy that shops at quite a few junkyards; first thought, this dude has balls of steel opening hoods. blew beer outta my nose when the wasp scene played out.
That javelin interior was ridiculously clean! utter shame to see it rot away, i say steal it lol
Outstanding move but that’s illegal XD
yea those seats were gorgeous.
I'm sure the wasps think the interior is nice too
Interior? You mean wasp playground
@@halopro8958 it's not a crime unless you get caught. So I have a AMC Javelin sitting in my yard dont ask how🤣
Man, I would love to have BOTH that Satellite and the Javelin. And it sounds darn good, sitting for a decade. Loving this.
Keep checking back with owner guys, sometimes life events force them to sell, seen that before.
Rarely. Most of the time these sorts of people hold onto stuff until they die.
@@47MasoN47 Which is why you have to have a plan in place with the owner or the whole lot gets crushed.
...and which is why they know what you are doing and will not agree to anything. They could care less. Their mentality is "ill never have time to fix it and im too much of an incompetent hillbilly moron to fix it myself so everyone else can suffer like me." And then when the bank forecloses the property and has to clean it up, all the cars are taken to the nearest scrapyard and since they have no current or useable parts to the owner who only sells 10 year old cars and newer, they get promptly crushed and shredded.
Yeah my boss would go past his neihbors every so often and wave a 1000$ cash cuz he wanted to buy his daughters Acura integra they she left when she moved away and he finally gave in and sold it to him
I used to do scrap metal, and I would come across places like that with piles of valuable metal all over the property. And there would be an old guy there who is like no no...I am good I like it the way it is. I would keep tabs on the places. Sure enough every now and then the person would die (usually the case) and then its the children doing a clean up to sell or just to clean up the property and its everything must go! go! go! pile of rads $0 load them up! pile of random metal $0 get it outta here. Entire barn contents expect a few things (maybe not a tractor or something) free! outta here!
I always find it amazing whenever somebody manages to start one of these old junk yard finds. Especially considering some of the cars I've owned in the past
Very cool cars, and sad to see them dumped and not being loved by anyone
It takes a lot of love to keep them and not trade them in for cash.
It is quite sad, it’s such a shame 😓
Update on the Satellite: Dylan’s father bought it and it’s now at Dylan’s place.
Dylan told him not to sell it to him so pops could get the mopar home lol
Well dang... I’m in Murfreesboro, TN...I would love to have it... but I’m a few years too late...😂🤣🤣😎 well, at least it won’t sit there and rust away...👍🏻
Would love to have had the fairlane . Great job guys
Get a damn can of raid, and go back for that javelin!!!
@Charlie Holiday CHS you just get a bottle of industrial strength insecticide thatll get the fuckers
Charlie Holiday CHS i will have one as well im allergic to all three
Get some carb cleaner knocks then right out better than raid because raid doesnt kill them right away
Beesuits are an option
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The old pickup with Sweetwater speed shop on the door is cool I lived in Sweetwater tn for 2 years I loved it
2:44 this why you do not go to junk yards in the summer without 50 cans of Raid.
Knowing Dylan, it probably runs smoother than a Rolex right about now. Fires up first time; every time; with even nicer, throatier rumble.
This is my favorite body style of all time
Man, this didn’t even show off half of the good stuff at this place!
ThunderHead289 what's the story on the 65 Fairlane sitting next to the Javelin? Two Door ?
Where are they
ThunderHead289 you all should go back and try to fix the javelin
For a GOOD REASON! If it hasnt dawned on you, think about it for a few.

Great job guys. It's a shame to see a car like that just sitting. Watching this brought back so many memories of the 1969 Satellite that I had.
"I think it does have a cam. Because it wouldn't run without it." Dead
I had a basic white 1970 Satellite with 318 back in the Seventies! It was one of the best cars I ever owned! Totally dependable & comfortable out on the road. Wish I had it back now! Thanks for the nostalgic video!
Dylan is the man! Awesome to see you guys messing with a mopar!
Country guy like me love old classic cars glad y'all guys bought it back to life y'all the best keep up the good work and stay friends and stay positive love the sound power of the car.....
Loved the music edit for the hornets! XD Ha, a game of horseshoes with transmission parts! Nice save, wouldn't want to bust up the Plymouth!
I would love to see more videos of you three together!
You shall!
@@JunkyardDigs hello!!for sale?
I really don't get people who has these cars that just sits and won't even think about selling them..
Starts out with plans to restore, becomes a hoarder.
IDeO Yeah exactly
I bet its because people like you piss him off loballing chatting shit
They're saving something. How much have you saved? You love cars, and yet is your bigger motive how much you can make off it or how many you can hold?
People like you step them for parts and crush the rest.
fraidykat Yeah i can understand that they have a connection with the car, i have that to with mine. But i would NOT just strip it for parts and then crush it! I would fix it so you’re wrong on that!
That thing sounds awesome! Hopefully you can rescue it. Would be a shame to see it rot away
.....and an exhaust like an earthquake. Damn i like this.
Thanks for another great show! It amazes me that there are still 20 somethings who still love the gearhead lifestyle! Most of the ones I work with couldnt even put air in their tires. Rock on!
Drive it out of there. I highly doubt he has insurance on it😂
That starter sound is so nostalgic for me!
You just earned yourself a new subscriber, thank you for saving automotive history!
Gotta love a jerk that won't sell it and won't fix it. What a waste.
N. I. Yes we were fully aware that the car was not for sale before we started work. The owner is a really good friend of mine, and he gave us complete access to his entire property, which is definitely more than we deserved to have. At the end of the day, they're his cars and nobody else. He can do as he pleases.
Totally agree, its his car and he can crush it if he wants to. This doesn't mean that its not a waste.
@@DylanMcCoolVideo do you want to buy a 87 Dodge truck lwb project? Only thing that is wrong with it is the timing has jumped on it
Yep, just like the old man near me who has a 1966 Fastback mustang sitting in the yard rotting away. It has sunk so far down in ground the floors are probably gone, but for the last thirty years he won't sell it, says he's gonna fix it up some day. Yeah right. Car sits where it can be seen easy from the road, I think he just gets his jollies telling people no.
@Wolley: **shakes head** The world is full of stupid people for sure.
It's not for sale I'm going to let it sit in the weeds so it will rot out because I'm a greedy bastard that don't like to sell anything
His greed saved it long past when anyone else would have scrapped it.
@Phil Perri And yet millions of hit nice cars just like it have been scrapped.
fraidykat simply prolonging it’s ultimate demise is not “saving” it
You think a guy is greedy for not selling his property? Does that apply to you as well?
That’s what I call a hoarder, good for nothing! That’s why most of the muscle cars are just rotting away in this country! Idiots like that!
I once drove a Dodge Duster 340, and that car had good power, we had a blast racing people!!!
Hello ! We are here from Brazil watching your videos! Congratulations on the channel!
great bunch of guys I enjoy all of your videos Im so jealous for all the stuff you can access greetings from Australia
In this junkyard the seats and the contition looks good inside
Removing that carpet saved that floor in the javelin. That’s one to get lol
Old muscle cars and trucks are my Achilles heel
Love this one too ! I generally a Chevy guy but you can’t help but love these old mopars !
Hi from northern part of norway,
I had a Dodge Ramcharger se 318cid, 727 once think it was a
1987 mod and a tradesman van 318cid b300 don't remember if it's called b300?.
Always been a mopar man😎
Like the sound of the mopar engine
Northern Sweden here. Buddy has a lifted ramcharger. 1 of 3 of this body type in the country
Ramchargers are cool was it 2wd or 4wd? I had a 77 Ramcharger 2wd it came with a 360 put a 340 out of a T/A Challenger with a A-833 4 speed and it would fly my friend had a 78 chevy blazer with a 355 ci and my ramcharger would spank it off the hop and in the 1/4 mile
@@79tazman 4wd and i incriced the higth 4"
The ramcharger refers to either the 413 or the 426 wedge engines. Both came with a cross ram intake manifold (2 - 4bbl carbs).
First time watching your channel. Thank you for using real English grammar and not dropping F bombs every other word like so many other channels on TH-cam. I'm subscribing for sure. Nice vid.
all i gotta say is good job yall i grew up watchin my dad freelance fix cars for his friends and its utterly amazing to hear that old girl fire.good grief thums up high five n stuff
💯💯🤝😒😭Man I wish you could say sad those cars are jt sitting there and it's going to just sit there that beautiful American car there and the way she turn right on over keep it up you guys loved it first time scene
I love seeing all you Guys together
I’m from New England...here...cars from 2006 aren’t that solid
gotta love that rust belt!
The only solution is P.O.R!
@@caseyhogan2142 Lol, no. Your saving grace is going to be oil undercoating preventatively.
I also live in New England. The sand and salt that they put on the road during winter months is what kills vehical up here. Anything that is solid either it has never seen a winter always stored properly or it's from Florida, Georgia, Down south, etc. I'd that was in a salvage yard around here they would want 7500$ for that thing.
Ya only down side to living in NH is nothing good lasts here
I don’t skip any of the adds . Hopefully you get some revenues for that . Cause you da
Best ! Thanks for making these . Love them best wishes from Canada
"Luke is our tuney fixy guy." Is that an official title? How do I get certified Tuney Fixy?
Seeing that javelin sit there makes me depressed, such a beautiful cat
Hoarding denies the life people want to bring back to these beauties. Better back on the road as a whole or parts on another, not rotting away.
Try to post more videos per week (if you can of course) because is so exciting to see someone who want to revive good old cars
check the oil before cranking for gods sake, thats how you screw bearings.
it was only a quart low.
@@jordanwiley4582 it could have been empty, don't know if you don't check first..
@@johanjuhojuntti648 they did checked it!!!
It just shows their inexperience and poor education
I think there isnt a car you guys couldn't start. No matter how long the have sat for. Lol you guys rock.
It's so sad that someone would just let a classic like that to go to waste
The owner of this car needs to understand that its ONLY chance to live on into the future is you guys. Young, passionate and capable gear heads. Otherwise it's a lawn ornament, a paperweight, and will rot away as such. You guys are awesome.
2:36 those seats were clean asf
but then 4 seconds later...
I can’t believe this video is two years old. She’s a classic
Thanks for reviving my dream car.
Some people collected Beanie Babies, some collected muscle cars.
Pulling carpet out , saves floor pans, from rusting.
You should see the collection of split rear window Corvettes, and winged Road Runners at this sanctuary. You'll need a treasure map to find it , but it exsist.
Here's a challenge : walk into a junk yard blind and see how many cars you can get running in one day. Let's say a minimum of 30 seconds. Double points if you can drive it 30 feet from its grave
I think they did wind up doing that. Who knows maybe it was your comment that inspired it!
“Do you have any idea what he just said?”. “No, but look how deep those rear wheels are buried”.
He honestly should just sell these vehicles. So upsetting watching them rot away. At least give it to someone willing to get it up and running
So He should sell them off to the scrapper and the crushers? Sure, that makes a whole lot of sense - because that where most people take these things, they either scrap for parts and crush it, or they crush it after paying is little as they can.
These cars are safe.
fraidykat safe and rusting....
Really awesome to see it come to life again! I'd never put water with minerals in a cooling system though.
So is the owners plan to let it sit there until the floor pans rot through and the whole underside of the car is rusted completely out and then decide he wants to sell it for $18000.00? I 've seen that story more than once in my life time, LOL. Convince him to sell it now. What a waste of a car if not!
Keep up the good work. Great video. Mopar sounded great . No valve chatter . I think it was a stock cam ?
the whole vid I'm eyeing that 1st gen ram in the back
1970 Plymouth Satellite--My first car, which I still dearly miss.
Huh. This place looks familiar. Oh wait. I'm in Tennessee too lol
You guys should trek up here to Vermont! There's a local junkyard that has trucks and cars going back to the 30s and such. Most of them are in pretty rough shape, but with a little bit of work, one could get some of this stuff running, and a few of them are rare.
Is it only me?
But the 10 first try the Carburator wasn't hooked up with a fuel line 🤔🤔
people got to realize that these junkyard owners dont live under rocks they know what these cars are worth and those old mopars just keep increasing in value so when it gets to what he thinks its worth he'll sell it until then he wont.
GMC Jimmy Yeah, he’ll let it sit and rot... and maybe despite that it will still increase in value if it’s a desirable car... pretty crappy for the next guy though, having to fix all the issues caused by letting the car sit for years... crappy for the car, too. If you really love cars you won’t do this. He can say he’s a collector or they’re investments or whatever else, but he’s just a hoarder.
Incredibly backwards logic. That would maybe only apply if the car was indoors and protected from quickly rotting away outside. Will keep losing value far more than any increase in a Satellite.
the longer it sits, the more it rust and less it's worth... even if it is a classic
GMC Jimmy shit by that time it'l be so rusted you could sweep it into a dust bin
G
hey mr digs that didnt take long to get the car going with out really any fus i am shocked sounds like it runs really smothly shocked for something that sat for 10 yrs awsome thumbs up and shared
YOU GUYS ARE SOME SERIOUS ENTERTAINERS really
Oh my gawd I died at 2:43
what is it? Can't find it out
@@pureweirdness9900 the hornets nest
Kevin's a mechanic genius
I have to say that, if he was not willing to sell it at a reasonable price, I wouldn't do him any favors. Pay it forward doesn't work.
The only reason it wouldn't work is people like you refusing to participate.
The Plymouth you guys put the front tire did you guys kept the car it looks GOOD worth restoring it.
love the Javelin
I love seeing Satelites getting attention, I have a 67 Satelite myself
Looking for solid? Come to California, everything here is solid
To own THIS 1970 SATELLITE would be AWESOME!
i wish i could get that ol satalite bc i had one before i went to war
You have an anime profile pic. Doubt you’re even allowed to legally drive a car.
@@averageyoutubeviewer6005 im 46 years old this was made my my kids for me

Good ol' Mopar... What a sweetheart.. she started on the first try!
I live in TENNESSEE but where is this at?
@Tyler Goutermout-Reynolds Wrong
@@STAY-GOLD-VINYL it's not though, is it
@Tyler Goutermout-Reynolds ,,at the beginning of the video,,,he said its somewhere in TENNESSEE
I saw sweetwater on the side of a truck which is a city in Tennessee
I am obssesed with your channel that is all i have watched this weekend
I had the roadrunner and right now your pissing me off with envy
my 2nd wife's mother gave me her 68 sport satellite for Christmas.
Had been sitting for15 years.
threw a new set of points & lugs in it,and drove it home.
Not a race car for the street someone just wanted a blue satellite
Probably was influenced by the B-52's
Yes, but the body is bitchen and can be built into a clone muscle car.
This should be on a "Classic Junkyard Digs" channel, you know, back when the channel was great. It was great when Luke was on the channel and Dylan McCool/aka Mr Cool. Love the old stuff, like working on the black car that was sunk in the dirt with trees growing around it. That was the camping episode. Videos like that were the SH!T. Now Kevin is all grown up, has a house, has a warehouse. This channel needs more male bonding adventures!!!!!
Richard petty car 1970 Plymouth roadrunner or Firebird ?
Im from Australia
1970 Daytona and a 68 road runner depending on year
In 1970 NASCAR required Plymouth & Dodge to have restricter plates installed because the shitty Fords & Chevys had no chance of winning a race .
Hey love the videos man! Like the way you show all the details and explain everything
THE MOVIE DUEL THE RED CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0:25
Do you mean the Plymouth valiant
Slant 6??????
There’s not even any smoke coming out the tail pips. Sweet car I hop you guys took it home eventually
You guys should charge $4.95/month...
Shots fired!
Looks like there sone real potential in that yard, seems awesome.
Is Luke depressed? R u ok mate?
lethal-0-lee its a hell of a life out there man....
@@ThunderHead289 haahaaa. Good life i reckon
Another great video! Thanks guys, keep them coming!
Why you didn't got in the car and drive it?
the owner didnt want to sell it :/
@@monkeyfan250 the wheels are literally buried, how the hell are you going to drive that?
junkyard digs could have fixed it, watch thier truck videos. this car is A PERFECT RUNNING CAR compared the state their truck they found abandoned was. besides that truck ran with bad tires, broken clutch, and rust everywhere. old vehicles are more mechanical then eletric, so this car can run even with bad tires. besides this car DID run out of its spot, so the tires were good
tldr; this car can move and drive, the owner didn't want to sell it :_:
cool idea and the fun you guys are having comes through in the video !
Back when they actually made cars out of real metal not carbon fiber crap. And also when you didnt need a 300,000 dollar computer to tell whats wrong. God i hate being a millenial
amen im in the same boat as you
Steel cars are far more dangerous and also heavier. Carbon Fibre is objectively a better material to make a car out of in pretty much every respect.
@@Salvara ah yes thats why military tanks are made out of carbon fiber. Please explain the amazing crash impact and long lasting qualities that carbon fiber contains.
@@ethanbunch3274 military tanks aren't civilian vehicles made to be going 200+mph regularly, mate. Carbon fibre is lighter and more durable than steel, its not the material that breaks its the design of the vehicle with crumple zones so that the car does break when you crash.
These crumple zones elongate the time that the crash takes to happen which means more damage is done to the car but less to the person inside the car, saving your life. Almost no cars are carbon fibre anyway, pretty much only supercars or race cars with aftermarket parts.
@@Salvara okay carbon fiber is strong, but no where near as strong as metal. And metal is alot heavier. A metal vehicle moving at the same speed as a carbon fiber vehicle is gonna hit alot harder than the carbon fiber. Also meaning that itll take more force to get it moving, which means in a wreck, my 1991 f150 is not gonna move and the carbon fiber vehicle is gonna be destroyed. Im not gonna rely on "crumple zones" and lightweight material to save me in a car crash. It might be "more efficient" to have carbon fiber material at higher speeds, but if you hit something your screwed. Also metal stands alot longer and is easier to maintain than carbon fiber.
The Rust Avengers are too cool and/or lucky. It didn't even smoke a little. Life is so unfair, wouldn't you say?
It sounds SOOO fucking good, I’m a Chevy guy and I’m gawking over the olde girl if that tells you how much it’s worth saving
