That Buick GS California @ 14:00 is my favorite car in this video. They only made 1,577 Buick GS California's. Pretty neat car. The Buick Wildcat with the factory tach in it is very neat too!
Greetings from CT. When I was a kid I did haying with a friend whose grandmother lived on a farm. His great uncle Gene still drove a wagon around town with a horse. They put a big frame over the wagon that extended over each side about 4 feet. We pitched the hay onto the wagon with pitch forks until it was a big pile. We then drove the wagon over to Gene’s barn, pulled by his horse, Chubby, and we then pitched hay into the hayloft. When the hay got down to the level of the frame Gene shouted “half off!” . At this time Gene was probably in his eighties. I was thirteen. I’m glad I got to see that one day just like the old days.
That Delco Heat box at the 11 minute mark is an old coal stoker box. You fill the box with coal and a motor would turn an auger the fed the coal into the furnace. That was high tech for its time! I remember filling our stoker after I got home from school every winter back in the 1960s.
I'm a sucker for old pick up trucks and tractors. Thanks for sharing. I hope you find some folks who will want to restore some of these great old cars.
Re-watched the set 3 from your early work. WOW what a difference 2 years make? Still a fan of the basics without edit. I Like then & now. Both have their perks.
This is my heaven! I have IHs and a Buick! That first bus would make a sweet travel trailer! And the Yellow KB would be sweet pulling it! So many parts i could use on my 52 L series IH panel van.
Wow now that man had a collection and now you do. My mom had a 1963 Buick 2dr don’t remember if it was a la Sabre or a Electra nice car. And the green Ford 4 dr that’s a keeper, I’d be proud to drive it, thanks cool video
Love the 66ish Buick Wildcats. My Grandmother had one when I was a kid. We sold it as a running car for junk when I was a teenager. I kick myself everyday for that. The videos of this farm are awesome.
11:25 That's a stoker for an old coal furnace. You fill it with coal and it automatically feeds it into the furnace so you don't have to get up in the middle of the night and shovel it manually.
My favorite car in the yard was the "1963 Buick Wildcat" Big Block 401 cubic inch V-8, High Compression @ 10:01, 2dr, white and tan out, tan interior with bucket seats & center console floor shift. This car did not look that bad, I would restore it to running and driving condition first, then finish it over a five-year period. I have owned an alike car back in the mid-'70s, I can tell you from experience this generation of Buicks was built to last and the performance was an eye-opener. It was called a gentleman's sports car, optional equipment eg. 3:42 gear & positraction, Front and rear sway bars, HD shocks, and stiffer springs were available. There were some nice Buick`s at this farm, lots of good parts that are hard to find these days. I would not scrap these, sell them as restoration projects or parts cars.
Man watching these videos bring back old memories of finding old cars and fixing them up. Everything you are showing is so good to see. I always liked the old vintage tractors and trucks too. I had over 150 muscle cars during my life. I am an old man now but thanks for these videos. It's like treasure hunting to me. Had to sell most of my cars, old guitars tractors and such due to medical bills and helping family. Still fun to watch your videos .Thanks for posting them.
13:30 My dad & I had a few of those Datsuns, station wagons too...great memories. Reliable little engines but the body rusted out with a whiff of salt air.
I had a 1980 Datsun 210 hatchback I bought second hand and it was a rusty thing. Very basic, with a small pushrod four and five speed. No AC. I cleaned it up and put shocks & brakes on it. Didn’t keep it long. It was the ultimate, cheap, stripped-down get around town buggy. So a pizza delivery guy bought it. Perfect for that!
Just finished all 3 videos and you have some awesome vehicles there! A lot of the bodies just have surface rust and can be made into resto-mods with new frames and power trains. You could make a fortune selling just the parts off of some of the old IH trucks alone that are too far gone to save. I hope you do more detailed vlogs on the heavy duty trucks and the KB IH bus.
The previous owner of this property really liked Buicks. Saw a 63 Electra in one of your videos which are hard to find. I have a 66 Electra at home. Great video. Keep them coming. Watching from North Carolina.
11:45 that appears to be an old coal feeder for a furnace, back when many homes and barns were heated by coal. Cool find for sure and worth saving and maybe restoring.
Really liked everything I have seen at this place, but those Peugeot 504 wagons were the very last thing i expected to see. Back in 1976 I purchased one exactly the same and it was white and with diesel engine too. I also passed my driving test in a Peugeot 404 wagon which was the preceeding model range to the 504. Any old Peugeot models are highly collectable now here in the UK. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Many thanks for your videos, they are very entertaining. David in the UK.
That small camper was for a Chevy love truck or a Datsun. And that heater was a stocker matic it used stocker Cole had a auger in the bottom that fed the coal to the fire .man thats Buick heaven there great video thanks for sharing
I watched all three vids of series and I must say... if for nothing else, you are a true optimist! How you can look at those acres and acres of rotting junk and see value is simply amazing. It really is true.... "One man's trash is another man's treasure"! Good luck with all your new found trash! Thank God for folks like you....
Once you learn your markets you can do pretty well. It’s taken me years to get to this point of knowing what is what. At the end of the day I can always crush everything if needed
My oldest brother had old bucks like those, brought back good memories,the old Ford truck and Datsun station wagon are my favorite, you need to get ahold of David Fryberger and Mike Finnagan, they will probably buy some of the old cars off of you,wish I could afford to, just don't have that kind of money though 😢
Yes, save the old rusty split window bus and a panel van. Those was scrapped alot and may be the rarest ones today :) The Peugeot 504 won the best to drive cars back in the days so it is likely good to drive. I never did drive one or sit in one, but i know a friend of dad did own one.
Thank you for the effort of showing me all of that, Silas I'm a junkyard fanatic. I liked the 60 something Ihc pickup, used to own a 63 3/4 ton 4x4 r1200 that I swapped in a 345.
I like the old International Harvester pickups like the red one at 4:40 and the one at 11:02. Moving on to the cars, some like the green 70 Ford at 10:42 look like that they can be salvaged.
11:00 That's a coal stoker for a home heating system. Starts and stops from a thermostat in the dining room. Homeowner loads it in the morning or evening each day or two from a coal bin in the basement.
That sweet Dodge RV would be totally Rad restored especially, being able to ditch equipment, including the old drivetrain for a modern technology that can be transplanted to look as if it was original installed at the factory
You have a fortune in cars,trucks & mix and narch parts. If and when you would be willing to sell please keep me posted. Just interested in a GMC 1980's pickup. I had a old 1975's Chevy blazer. Gave me lots of fun and used it for fishing when I lived on Long Island,NY. Have a good day.
The thing that said DELCO HEAT was called a stoker...You put coal in it and it autmaticallly fed it into your coal furnace with an auge when it was running out of coal..
It is a coal hopper for an old coal fired furnace.MY JOB AS A YOUNG BOY WAS TO KEEP THOSE FILLED IN THE WINTER AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO REMOVE WHAT WERE CALLED KLINKERS FROM THE FURNACE EACH DAY.
Man you are very lucky. The land of dreams. How one can buy so many beautiful vehicles. If only one had the economic capacity to update at least 3 of them. For me it is all a dream, enjoy it friend.
I had a’68 Ford Torino (non fastback) in my sights a few years back and didn’t buy it. Super clean! I missed a great deal on a real classic rally sport ride. I’m still kicking myself...
Man that's incredible I'm glad u repurpose the old stuff love your videos I'm new to your channel we don't see stuff like that in Boston mass!! John deere baby!!!
Those Peugeot wagons are just about bulletproof. If you look under the back, it is a solid axle with 2 springs and 2 shocks per wheel. They were made to withstand what passes for roads in Africa. The diesel engines are just as rugged. They will go through 3 sets of rings before a set of bearings are needed. The ones made before 1976 (?) had wet sleeve engines, where the cylinder sleeves were replicable. The wagons tended to have a firm ride, but the sedans had independent rear suspension, and it seemed like about 2 feet of suspension travel. I could drive my '73 504 sedan at 20 mph over speed bumps and basically not feel them. My Dad was surprised at how it rode better than his '75 Cadillac.
Yes a fascinating watch. If you made a hundred videos of places just like this, I'd watch them all. Cars and all associated historical stuff.. I LIKE IT ! Some very sultry beautiful Buicks. Many would love to have the chance to revamp a groovy old car, but people just aint got the money these days (because we've been robbed by the banks again.)
that is an absolute Gold Mine, be careful & check the parts in the truck beds and look for flathead parts ... those older truck bodies would make great Rat Rods ...
Awesome Videos, I would have to say that the older International Pickups are my favorite however that IH custom bus would take a close second, Thanks for documenting. I will follow your progress. Thumbs up...
I know that you want to clear and clean the property but don't be hasty as the stuff there has a lot of value if one can see it and the best I know is to clear a spot off and make sure that gravel or something doesn't take to grass and weeds coming right back. then if possible sort by age and model. I don't think you would nessasarally need to make all chev in one and all buick in another but just kinda clear out the trash as you go so the best side shows its possibilities. Like say that bigger international truck with the fender torn near off could get sorted a little and in amongst other internationals where the right pieces are would show its chance at a revival or just good for parts, It might get saved as the international has a better chance now than when new. Internationals when I was a kid some seventy years ago was so cheap that you had money for a tractor or whatever else might be needed on the farm. Short on luxury but long on handy and dependability. I bought a new ford truck in 66 and then drove to work everyday in it. Later I saw a international and that was not a good year in popularity for them. It was half the price and five years later was still going on a friend of mines farm. My rig was worn out and needed to be replaced or heavy repairs to engine trans and some dents so it went as a trade in on the next one. At that time I was young and didn't think much on it but as the years go by, I saw that 66 international still being used on that farm.... yes it had a new engine and other stuff to keep going but it really had started to grow on me the value of the international. I bought a big rig, a conventional that was the international eagle and man oh man was it nice. After I drove the wheels of it on coast to coast, I sold it to a guy who still has it to this day and yes its several engines an other parts later... but it still looks real good. Its been painted many times and what not as they get used hard and show it if you don't take care of them. I surely would try for a farm side of a yard where the tractors and other farm stuff could go. Some of it is just scrap for sure. Thats why sorting stuff and making a scrap pile that makes it to scrap works and good steel or material could get stored. Doesn't look like many places out of the weather that stuff like that can be found to buy in the winter months but I don't see it as a high volume of sales either. I just see a lot more of it saved and restored by someone. Of course that would help you decide what project that you might take on or start one with someone that has knowledge of how to do it . My comment is too long I'm sure but get the feeling that if you did sell some of it that maybe enough to free up money for your own stuff. Now one thing I found out about starting old rigs is that find what it takes to make it look like someone else can do and money offers come quick as those buyers like to finish and then say "LOOK at what I built" when all they did was maybe a engine to get mobile and a paint job. I had some old ford cars that were straight but four doors an they were fairly complete. I just cleaned them good, did the interior to nice.... yet not finished, and in primer. I did intend to finish each one I started but people want old cars now and so they sold for dang good money. If you just had some kind of storage, engines and transmissions, rear ends could be stored. Oddly the frames on certain rigs lend to being bought to put a old car body on. Like that highboy cab if taken care of is a hot easy sell. Ford is getting more and more popular as people who don't have the C/K 10 money to make the super sleds and other ideas people get.,they find favor to be a grocery getter for someone who just wants a nice old rig.
The Road Grader might be a McCormack Deering. I've seen the names for these on the sides. Maybe. You've got some neat stuff. I think that 2 door Buick was a 63. Being a Wildcat, I'm surprised to see it with crank windows and manual locks.

@@waynekyle4431 Yep, that too! You must be an old fart like me! LOL

I'm a sucker for old pick up trucks and tractors. Thanks for sharing.

The old owner amassed quite an awesome collection love the old trucks and the vintage farm equipment and the old bus is sweet as .
I like just about everything in on that property. The A100 that 4 door Plymouth satellite was cool the GS and all of the trucks.
Re-watched the set 3 from your early work. WOW what a difference 2 years make? Still a fan of the basics without edit. I Like then & now. Both have their perks.
Love that A=100 camper van!
Man o man....cars without end!!!!.....this place is like a timecapsule.....love the way you show us around...keep it up!!
This is my heaven! I have IHs and a Buick! That first bus would make a sweet travel trailer! And the Yellow KB would be sweet pulling it! So many parts i could use on my 52 L series IH panel van.

looks like there are some good solid cars in that bunch. I bet you will get some buyers!!!
Your an old soul no doubt , Cool place your working on and what a job your facing.
I just love the Plymouth car and the old bus 🚌 i like all your videos you have some cool vehicles etc keep up the good work 👍👍✅🇬🇧

Wow I know !! I had a ‘78 210 sedan I bought new. By the time it was 18 months old the pinch welds on the bottom were all rusty

Cool. That A100 Camper is pretty cool. And pretty rare. I would imagine. Probably not many of those campers around anymore.

I'm glad your not just crushing all those beautiful classics!!💗👍
you're*
Got enough Skylarks to build one really good one! The two door shoe box Ford is probably the most valuable to the east coast Ford club
That cat is giving you a dirty look cause he knows what yer up to. 😾
👍👍👍

Amazing! Seems to go on forever!! Let's hope some of these sleeping beauties find their way back on the road. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks!
Most of these auto's are worth saving , even as yard ornaments or for ratrods . nice walk around video of some old iron .
Its funner to see these in the woods all melted in than the car show stuff...you got great pieces here.

Keep those rad supports (green Dodge '72-80) at 12:52 very hard to find for Lil Red Xpress and Warlock restos.
like the 70-72 skylark's p.s ALL those BIG 70's 225 and Lasabers more than likely have Buick 455 v8 keeper's for sure
I agree with you I love the old dodge trucks, and the old Plymouth cars real cool.
The old horse drawn road grader looks like it could be an old Bucyrus-Erie !!!!!!!!
Should be worth some pretty good money !!!
I liked the merc comet and all the wall hangers
Watched all 3 videos I like them. I'd like to watch the process of the cleanup, And finding possible treasures. Be safe 👍🇺🇲
I like the Tom cat lol cool place though love that wild cat hard top to
The little box with g m on it looks to be a automatic coal stoker for a house furnace
Thank you for the effort of showing me all of that, Silas I'm a junkyard fanatic. I liked the 60 something Ihc pickup, used to own a 63 3/4 ton 4x4 r1200 that I swapped in a 345.

Very cool thanks 👍
That sweet Dodge RV would be totally Rad restored especially, being able to ditch equipment, including the old drivetrain for a modern technology that can be transplanted to look as if it was original installed at the factory
12:00 and 15:58 , 4 Peugeot 504, A cool french car ! Not common in the USA 👍
Love all the vids. Great to watch here in the UK.
Lot of good stuff.i hope u keep all old trucks and antique tractors and employments. The guy from welder up like to make rat rods out of stuff.
Thanks for the videos! Very relaxing and enjoyable!!
The tudor shoebox. 😀 😍 Love it
I’ve been to Hutchinson Kansas and fell in love with the place. It was the first time I seen a prairie dog also.
Yeah prairie dogs should be our school mascot haha
You have a fortune in cars,trucks & mix and narch parts.
If and when you would be willing to sell please keep me posted.
Just interested in a GMC 1980's pickup.
I had a old 1975's Chevy blazer.
Gave me lots of fun and used it for fishing when I lived on Long Island,NY.
Have a good day.
The Peugeot 504 Stationwagon is one of my favourite cars you founf there
My favorite is a toss up between the 64 Galaxie in part one or the shoebox in this one.
All 3 were awesome Ive been looking for one of those AMC eagles for a long time
Great piece of property with lots history 👍
The little datsuns are worth quite a bit alot of them cars and trucks deserve to be saved for sure.
I’ve already got one of them sold.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch Cool.
The thing that said DELCO HEAT was called a stoker...You put coal in it and it autmaticallly fed it into your coal furnace with an auge when it was running out of coal..
You did a fine job on the video. I'm definitely gonna watch the first 2.
Really keen to follow your project with this Incredible findings of cars and machines. Good Luck 👍
I like all the old stuff
Ok thank you for your time
It is a coal hopper for an old coal fired furnace.MY JOB AS A YOUNG BOY WAS TO KEEP THOSE FILLED IN THE WINTER AND IT WAS NECESSARY TO REMOVE WHAT WERE CALLED KLINKERS FROM THE FURNACE EACH DAY.
The GS California is awesome!
Hey Silas,
Great 👍 video
Keep up the good work

Love seeing those older Buick GS cars!
Man you are very lucky. The land of dreams. How one can buy so many beautiful vehicles. If only one had the economic capacity to update at least 3 of them. For me it is all a dream, enjoy it friend.
Looks like you will have alot of new places to do another camping adventure 😀
Doing good friend
And the Datsun wagon. There very popular.
Love the Corvairs

i sure would like to see your private collection one day! bet it is really awesome!
Lots of cool stuff.
1969 GS California had a production run of 3574. Would be nice to save.
Once I’m done here, I’ll clean it up and advertise it
Awesome Videos, I would have to say that the older International Pickups are my favorite however that IH custom bus would take a close second, Thanks for documenting. I will follow your progress. Thumbs up...
They are pretty cool
I'd give anything for that Buick @9:38 I loooooooove those with a passion lol Sheesh.
I'd love to have one of those International pickups.
I could of used a heater core out of one of those 79 Puegeot 504's back when I had one in 1987...these 2 are 34 years to late for me.
If these cars were in Pennsylvania, they would be piles of rust by now! They look well preserved and might run if given attention.
They use a little salt but not too much on the roads down here, and we get very little snow.
That delco unit is a coal feeder for a boiler. As the coal in the boiler burns down it starts the auger and brings more into the burner.

Doesn't look like many places out of the weather that stuff like that can be found to buy in the winter months but I don't see it as a high volume of sales either. I just see a lot more of it saved and restored by someone. Of course that would help you decide what project that you might take on or start one with someone that has knowledge of how to do it . My comment is too long I'm sure but get the feeling that if you did sell some of it that maybe enough to free up money for your own stuff. Now one thing I found out about starting old rigs is that find what it takes to make it look like someone else can do and money offers come quick as those buyers like to finish and then say "LOOK at what I built" when all they did was maybe a engine to get mobile and a paint job. I had some old ford cars that were straight but four doors an they were fairly complete. I just cleaned them good, did the interior to nice.... yet not finished, and in primer. I did intend to finish each one I started but people want old cars now and so they sold for dang good money. If you just had some kind of storage, engines and transmissions, rear ends could be stored. Oddly the frames on certain rigs lend to being bought to put a old car body on. Like that highboy cab if taken care of is a hot easy sell. Ford is getting more and more popular as people who don't have the C/K 10 money to make the super sleds and other ideas people get.,they find favor to be a grocery getter for someone who just wants a nice old rig.
That rear panel door towards the end reads Fuller Septic Tank Services (couldn't read the bottom)... Enjoyed the tour!
Old Binder heaven !
You pass by all the interesting stuff and investigate the junk!! Is the Buick California still available?
The Road Grader might be a McCormack Deering. I've seen the names for these on the sides. Maybe. You've got some neat stuff. I think that 2 door Buick was a 63. Being a Wildcat, I'm surprised to see it with crank windows and manual locks.
That car hood that was missing the car, is an early '50's Pontiac. There called Silver Streaks. That's the trim that's on the hoods and trunks.
