. This was a pretty cool one to find. The car was very rough but will make an excellent parts car for its new owner.

About Adventures Made From Scratch: I’m just a regular guy who likes to find adventure in day to day life. We may not be able to go travel the world, but there are plenty of opportunities at our door step. I do a mix of vintage car stuff, scrapyard stuff, nature hiking, and who knows what else?!? Come with me as I take you along for a ride in my world! My 2nd Channel: / @moreadventuresmadefro...
I'm happy that the Avanti quickly found a new home.
Silas it's your business, you're the one that knows how to pay the bills and manage your time. If people think they know better than you they should start their own business.
Silas, i am impressed with the daily uploads. They are good quality, 20 minutes long. I really hope you are going to keep this up, it's nice.
You gotta do what you gotta do!
You said it all right there @1:49! It's a business first, not a popularity contest, even though you're saving what you can WITHIN the market. Excellent way to say it!
I didn’t see them step up and buy everything! Thanks for keeping it real.
Raymond Loewy designs for Studebaker were fantastic. The Avanti is one of my favorites.
I usually don't comment..however...you must have some unhappy people that watch your channel. Just wanted to say that I love watching your work. It's your life and you let us in on it a little bit. Grateful for that!!
That is a cool car good thing it's going to new home for somebody to fix up
I agree with you, you can’t save everything, you are saving some good stuff though. 👍🏻
Years ago I pulled parts off an old car I had. People told me how valuable they were, so I put them up for sale, cheap.
Months later I dropped them off at the salvage yard because nobody wanted to buy them.😠
Anybody complaining can cough up the cash and come pick the parts up..
I enjoy watching your videos. 👍👍
Yup for months had some rims off a 356 porsche no pits for sale gave up put free in paper guy drove two hundred miles ...figures
I'm old enough to remember when the Avanti first came out. We were amazed. It was right out of the Space Age. Still is.
Glad you made a quick turnaround on the Avanti. I wanted the steering wheel. That dodge truck was cool id love to get something like that
Lil Red Wagon tribute would be a cool build for that old Dodge.
You're a business man. The haters have no idea of how business works. You have been at this for a while and you know how to make money. I respect what you do and how you do it.
Backseat drivers!
Silas you are saving way more than most would! Keep up the excellent videos.
Love the channel, epic rare cars!
Another great video, thank you for all you do.Always remember there will all ways be haters and know it alls in every senerio, remember you are the boss and you can do it your way, keep up good job. Send some of yalls rain to Texas. Have a good evening my friend.
Another relaxing video before i go to bed. Thanks.
Ignore those idiots that get mad at you just because you do things your way and not theirs. Ask them how many cars will they step up and save. At car shows I often hear lookie lous' comment on the paint colors or the make of certain wheels or parts. Some even have the nerve to ask things like "Why did you put this or that on your car?" I simply ask them what they have on the hot rod THEY built. That usually shuts them up.
I am 70 and I grew up in a salvage yard and I have done many other things but nothing I liked better than salvage.
Cool....my Grandad owned a salvage here in ICT back in the 40's and 50's.
There’s a registry for those Avanti’s.
People are doing beautiful restoration work on them.
One of my favorite cars during my childhood 👍👍😎👀
Silas knows how to pay the bills.
I understand what you mean. You're doing good , it's a business, no museum..... I appreciate your respect for the cars !
Happy that you let people see what normally stays hidden/unseen !
I parted out Motorcycles for years, as soon as scrap day came I got crying about what I scrapped, well you had time to buy it before the scrap guy came, that yard looks like it was open to the public before you got there so its a snooze ya looze situation. As other people have said it's a business. Really enjoy your channel !!!
Great stuff 👏.
As a young man, I was really into Studebakers (graduated from HS in 1960) Actually owned two Avantis. Bought my first one in 1968 and restored it, which I needed! Bought the other in 1970. If you open the hood, and look along the top of the frame rail, just ahead of the firewall, there should be an original stainless steel VIN tag. Avantis all started with the year, followed by the letter R, then the serial number, as in 63R1234. The Avanti II models are very much like the 64 models, but had Corvette engines in at least some of them, but I don't know anything about the numbering scheme.
Love your channel, everyday is a treasure hunt. And adventurous.
Busy
HI SILAS-- LOTS OF WORK !! BUT LOTS OF GREAT OLD TOYS..TAKE SOME TIME AND BREATH,..PEACE....
Cool
Always loved the Avanti....decades ahead of it's time. That is the exact car used in 64 adverts, red over black. It had a beautiful interior, as well as knock out exterior.
No complaints here. This is one of my four or five fav channels. Not every old car or truck can be saved, but Silas does a fine job of keeping what is savable from the crush machine.
early 50s packard fender skirts
you pronounced that right....i have been in love with that car since they first came out....as a teen to see the speedo that says 160 MPH just blew my mind....make her pretty again sir.
Studebakers were great cars,I love the classics.
Sweet those avantis are kinda gettin rare now love the studabaker yard clean up .
Great video! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us. My friend has a 1963 Avanti and I am trying to learn as much as I can about it to help her sell it.
Love how the chrome outlives the rust.
Love your content ,keep doing what you're doing and thank you for sharing your videos with us! 👍
Your making the rest worth more !!!
Studabaker museum south bend Indiana !!! Very interesting place!!
I believe they have the last one made !! 👍😊
you only need to do that you think is right for you time is money good luck to you
Silas, all these internet theologians giving you crap about scrapping these cars couldn’t scrape up enough money to buy two cars let alone the whole yard. This is your livelihood. Your business. You invite us into your world. The guy who had this yard sold parts for decades. Everybody had a chance to buy/save these cars. I appreciate you sharing these videos. Keep on keeping on. 👍🏻
Thanks for video love them 👍👍
Keep doing what your doing ! Thank You
You do what is right for you and I am behind you
Since coming accross your channel a few weeks ago Silas, I am really enjoying catching up on all of your previous episodes. And from what i have seen so far, you seem to be a most hard working and level headed busines owner, one that understands the real key diffrence between "making money", and "wasting time and money". It is your choice what you buy, and very definatelly your choice as to what what you do with it afterwards, whether it be processed or kept. Opinionated dissenters are just opinionated, and are always the worlds experts on absolutely everything. Just keep keeping on doing what you're doing, I for one am really enjoying every minute of your videos, and many thanks for taking the time and trouble to do them for us.
David in the U.K.
Always good stuff to see, thanks
Nice 👍🏿
I like the Jeeps from the Willys, and American Motors eras.
Good job my friend. That was an awesome video. Sold that Studebaker. Good for you. I'm glad things are going well. Keep up the good work. Love your videos every day. Good job editing.
Don't worry about all the people who are giving you a hard time, at one time I used to be into Mini trucks scene it's little trucks on airbags. I left because it doesn't seem like there's any decent people just a bunch of haters don't concentrate on them concentrate on the great stuff you're doing. I love your videos.
Great content Silas
Some great very nice treasures.
Enjoying your videos.
I’m glad you commented to the naysayers. You shouldn’t have to explain and a gentleman for you to do so.
Wow, nice hunt!
You're saving some cool stuff. You can't save it all. The Avanti was a nice find ! My dad has had a few 53 and 54 Studes. He did have a '51 pickup that had Olds Toronado drive train. It was front wheel drive ! He traded it for a '58 Chevy 4 door hard top. Keep doing what you're doing !
Ignore the haters brother they can't help being jealous of you look at you your a grafter and deserve good luck in life 👍👍🤗
When I saw the thumbnail, I didn't think it was your channel!! That Avanti, such a cool car, i'm not surprised it sold quickly. Your videos are great, keep them coming!!
Reality a bitter pill to swallow. Good work.
Hey, love the vlogs, save what you can and within possebilites, all those mad people should come and help you and take away what they want to save, keep on going!
I found an adventure watching your video's im glad I found your channel realy awesome 👌
Salis let them be upset you saved more then I would great job wet or dry that avanti is a keeper is a collector car love it thanks for sharing and your time.
never mind the saltiness from anyone... I saw the other video and you did great and saved these last car's and truck's end days on film. Very cool ... thnx :)
Pretty cool stuff Silas. Hey you can bad mouth any Fords, Jeeps, etc and I'll be happy! Love that Commander hood and the Avanti. Most of that stuff has been sitting for 25 years? Prob little got sold from the pile. Shred 'em up. The Avanti is cool, make a nice project with an LS3 and 4L80 in it.
Beautiful car.....When I was a little kid my uncle had one and it was dark brown or black and I called it Count Dracula's car because the two bumper extensions that stick out reminded me of fangs....plus I ate a lot of Count Chocula cereal also...
Thanks. I like this car.
Thank you for your video
Did you save the licenses plate?
You never disappoint Silas. Pay no attention to the trolls. You have a quality channel that is very entertaining. Being a car nut since I could walk I really like what you do. I think I mentioned this but my wife and I had a chance to buy her family farm in southern Illinois. 85 acres with a log house, lake and all kinds of out buildings and old equipment for 100K. I wanted it and I would own every car for a hundred miles. But we are in Arizona. So is our family. It was an easy decision to stay put but I often think about having all that space and people all around wanting to give me their old cars for free. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Gotta hand it to you, Silas. So much hustle on your part, always the entrepreneur looking for an opportunity to make business happen, and doing these videos is just one more piece of the puzzle. Sleep sometime, though. It's underrated. :)
As you like to say Silas, it is what it is.
👍👍👍
Glad to see your making a good effort to save parts from the crusher.
I need 1936 Chrysler parts.... Please keep me in mind if you find one of these.
I don’t know what your planning on doing with that Avanti, but restored ones are selling for between $30,000 to $60,000.
I could never afford to buy that one, it would cost me $100.000 to have someone else to do it for me.
I always loved Avantis, since I was a kid.
These guys that lived around the corner from me had one and a 63 Corvette split window coupe !!
Good luck with your finds !!
The Avanti used to have a Chevrolet 327 in it. Was quite the car in its day. A gentleman in our town had a white one.
You pack a lot of good viewing into such a short video, mate. That Avanti is something I have NEVER seen and I'm so glad you showed us. Love the dash and profile of the car, but the inset face doesn't work for me.....but hey, I'm sure it would grow on me if I owned it! Sure glad it found a home so quick and to a bloke who sounds keen as mustard to get hold of it and do something with it.
As to the negative nancies, you're doing what you can and taking the risk of investing the time to save what would have been a virtual pile of scrap metal otherwise.....and there has obviously been plenty of time for people to grab them up before now.
The cars will live on on people's walls and I really like the wall art hooked up to a sensor light idea! That's got me thinking, eh.... I already have a couple of dual headlight grilles over the workbenches in my garage, but for something of THAT scale, I would need the permission of my nearest and dearest.....and I am not sure she would approve!
Keep up the content where you can, Silas. ....and don't forget to save those after-market steering wheels if you see 'em pop up in cars going into the Megasquasher. Those wheels fetch a pretty price on eBay - especially the classic ones. I found a 1982 Momo in a rusted out Mini I stripped that several of a similar year had fetched over US$200. Quick money - and people want period steering wheels for their classics, so plenty of market for them. Just a thought :) All the best
I’m glad the avanti got saved
You do what you gotta do!
The Avanti is a lucky car to be trucked home by someone who really wants it.
We sound so alike its disconcerting, literally sounds like hearing a recording of myself, from tone to cadence to content/thoughts. Even a Studebaker connection...small world🤔🤜
not too much scrap metal in an Avanti.... 🤣 Stude enthuiasts had their chance to save the little parts so keep it up Silas!
Breaks my heart to see all the cars but you are right it isn't realistic to save them all.
Avanti was my favorite car as a young boy when my neighbor bought a brand new one.
I fully understand where you're coming from I can only imagine how hard it is not to be able to keep some of the things you run across but like you said if it wasn't you would be someone else that would just crush it all keep up the great work I do enjoy your content but sometimes I seriously have to turn it off when I see a car or truck that I would love to have that has to go to the crusher it's just too heartbreaking to watch don't worry about what other people say they're just jealous God knows I am LOL
Another great video. I work for a scrap company and my boss tries to keep everything. We just distract him and crush it.
I am glade the AVANTI was saved , I seen one restored and retomoded on a TV show on the Velocity ch. just wish I could aford 1.
dont let those idiots bother you brother im sure you know what your doing keep up great work
Avanti! Your scored! I have liked these since I was a kid. A Studebaker I would like to own is a Hawk.
Commander or Starlight Coupes👍👍👍 I also like the Larks..
Cool Avanti never saw avreal one but saw adds
Very sad to see all that stuff going for scrap, but that's life.
Other people obviously knew it was all there, and did nothing about any of it.
You've got a business to run, and a family to feed, so you do what you gotta do.
Some of us are sad, but we have our memories.
You can't make the people on the Internet happy. Happy New Year all.
Save what you can, Do what you gota do!
If they want them, then come buy them. He's the one out there working. Not sitting on the couch complaining. Keep up the hard work Silas.
That’s a nice Dodge short bed!😁
4:50. It appears that it was parked too close to a building that burned. It’s hard to say tho. Cool car
The Studebaker Avanti is a very nice car.
Hey Bro AT LEAST YOU'RE DOING MORE THAN ALOT OF OTHERS !!! GOD BLESS Y'ALL !!!
P.S. THANK YOU,,, I DIDN'T KNOW AVANTI's Were FIBERGLASS 🤔🤔🤗🤗🤗
I used to work at Avanti motors was at one time the fastest sport car in its day
😎
Silas may have to change his name to Mr. Studebaker!
I can't believe people get this bent over cars and trucks that are clearly way beyond restoration and any usable parts have given up the goast a long time ago, the man tells you all on every video that he doesn't have the time or storage space for parts. In this job production is the most important thing people want the property cleaned up right away.
Do what you do best. All the cryers should step up and offer their money.
