i drive a scion and that yellow TC was the limited edition of that year i think its the 7th series with i think like 25 hundred made with TRD edition everything or it could have been modified to look like the TRD EDITION
Every time Mike does a junkyard vid and is intrigued by the 60s classics, I always imagine it would be fun to see him build one up with some jdm flair and use it as the “shop truck”/ towing rig.
I would absolutely love to restore an older muscle car / truck. Hopefully I can acquire a shop space, it's the main thing holding me back right now (Prices near Chicago are insanely high)
That eclipse is the 1.8l version. On the 1g eclipse If it had 4g63 2.0l the timing belt cover was to high. That is why they added that bump in the hood to clear the timing belt. At least that was the reason for 1g as some 1.8l had the flat hood. On the 2g if I remember correctly the bump was not needed but they added it anyway because it became so iconic. Man you should get on of these especially the 1ga (because popup headlights). They are so fun to drive and they have huge aftermarket support. But good luck finding a clean one.
@@PrizzaMikeyes but the 2g came with either a 1.8 like the one you saw a 2.0 or the 4g63. Gst and gsx are the turbo models. Gs and Rs are nonturbo models and timing belt is on different sides of the motor so it makes it very hard to swap that amazing 4g63 in a cheap non turbo model peek my eagle talon on my channel same as 2g eclipse just better styling and looks much more aggressive. Love the vids Mike
That convertible has a 2.4L not a 1.8; only some na 1g cars had the 1.8L. A na spyder (gs) has a 4g64. For 2g’s in the states, Rs and Gs have 2L 420a engines while gst and gsx have 2L turbo 4g63
@@PrizzaMike I found my rust free 2g in my state up in new England (Vermont) deep in the rust belt, mine was already fully built and was a really accurate fast and furious replica, the motor has receipts for a bunch of mods but I replaced it with a stock motor until I can get ARP head studs and a standalone fuel management system for it since it's a turbocharged N/a. It was clean just not stock, but I've converted it to mostly stock for now lol
Also that lil saloon around 7:00 has gotta be some sort of morris minor or something similar, certainly looks it, from what's left anyways lol. It's always so surprising to see english cars over there in the states, good riddance to the tr7's though, built like shit, good ol british leyland. As for the hood bump on 2g eclipses, I always assumed it was clearance for the 4G63.
Always so happy to see junkyard videos. There’s always too much to comment about and I don’t want to spam or write out a whole ass essay on why junkyards have some of the best content so I will instead just say thank you. I don’t have any real junkyards with a rich history anywhere near where I live.
In England the scrapyards normally stack the cars on top of eachother, before now I’ve climbed 4 cars up to grab the parts I need. Hearing your concern about this has made me doubt my previous decisions to climb in the rain 😅😂
So sad seeing a sonic yellow bugeye wrx in that junkyard. Definitely the most rare wrx color we got here in the states. The slicktops were actually the common option while the sunroofs were rare. Everything else about it is shared with a normal 02-03 wrx
Actually looks like a blaze yellow by the color of the bumpers mostly, but being that’s it’s faded and dirty, it’s hard to tell. Could just be a really faded sonic yellow.
@@waffle_chuter It is super hard to tell being all dirty and faded haha but as a previous SY bugeye owner, I can tell its SY. Blaze yellow has a lot more pastel to it. Also speaking of blaze yellow I am pretty sure blaze yellow is the most rare color instead of sonic yellow with about 500 to 1000 units if I remember correctly
I glanced a comments to see if anyone already said, but the 2 cars with rear motors and opposing plane pulleys were Chevrolet Corvair's. The Corvair was their first attempt at a rear engine car, long before the C8 Corvette.
This is what got me into your channel I was looking for junkyard videos and came saw you glad to see you came back to what I and many others first saw you do.
Junkyard adventures are back baby!! It’s always appreciated to see interesting stuff in the junkyards. Today’s standards had made it impossible for cars to have interesting body lines; everything looks like a round brick, soulless, and has boring colors. I hope that with the increasing popularity of retro futurism people start appreciating this older car designs. #BringThePopUpsBack
In the 80's, my Dad had a Ford LTD station wagon. The coolest part as a kid is it had a back seat in the trunk area that kinda sank into the floor and you faced the rear window. My brother and I used to love cruising in the back laying back and staring at the sky as we drove home at night from my cousins.
1:10 Ford Thunderbird 1958 2:45 Ford Gran Torino wagon 3:18 Chevrolet Corvair, indeed 7:30 Morris Minor 12:20 Porsche 944 15:24 BMW 3 serie E46 sedan 23:48 Triumph TR7
These junkyard videos are what i found you through 2 years ago, So happy to see another junkyard video because i would be going to junkyards watching your junkyard videos😅
The badge on the cabover truck at 8:16 is an International Harvester badge. IH is the old ollld make, these days they're mostly known as just International for their class 6-8 trucks.
It’s a bit confusing because I believe the company has been bought/merged/split several times but International “still makes” tractors under Case IH, Case is another old farm equipment company that bought IH
As a bugeye owner it’s sad to see one in the junkyard. They are pretty rare to see one in my area and even rarer to find one bone stock with a full stock interior.
That bugeye wrx looks to be a sonic yellow (1/500) with a blaze yellow (1/450) front bumper. The fenders and all that are stock, the wagons have narrower fenders while the sedans have the box flares. The door cards are stock as well. The most interesting part about that car are the taillights, never seen any like those before
The bumper is probably still sonic yellow, sonic yellow fades really bad on the plastic bumpers, I’ve owned 4 different sonic yellows and all of the bumpers looked blaze yellow. They also made 1,500 sonic yellows
My wife’s 1971 gremlin would be a ride you wouldn’t recognize lol. Now my 1992 JDM prelude is a different story. Missed these junkyard videos. Great stuff.
These are just some guesses but if im wrong let me know! 1:09 1960s ford thunderbird 1:47 1961-62 Ford Fairlane 500 2:13 1950s Buick Roadmaster 2:19 1970s Ford Ltd II 2:56 1955 Chrysler Windsor 4:14 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 6:30 1950s MG TD 7:24 Possibly a 1950s Morris Minor 8:08 1960s International Harvester 9:00 1950s Ford Crown Victoria 10:25 1990 Nissan 300zx 😏 12:15 1980s Porche 944 28:03 Cadillac DeVille 29:08 1970s International Scout 30:34 1970s Jeep Commando 30:52 1940s Chevy Fleetmaster 30:53 1950s Pontiac Cheifton
2G GSX owner here, the bump on the hood was done solely for the 4G63 variants of the DSM's (GST/GSX) but for mitsubishi to save money they used the same hood for all the trims, and if you didn't know the motor that was in that 2G Spyder was a SOHC 4G64 (2.4L), which is a common base for 4G63 Strokers, as the 4G63 Head just bolts onto the block, and you can just throw on your own turbo kit, etc for a 2.4L Stroker 4G63 👍
3G owner here, only good thing about our chassis is we got the 4g64 and it somewhat accepts 2g/evo parts, absolute shite engine from factory but has loads of potential. One day I’d love to build a 2.1 destroker, but I’d only do that if I was awd swapped and going “full race car”
The car on 3:30 is a Chevrolet Corvair like you said. It was the first ever turbocharged serial production car made. It is carburated, the turbo is after the carb so it sucks the air/fuel mixture through the compressor
The flat faced truck had an IH badge for International. Side note, the box shaped SUV looking car that was a white/green was also an International, a Travelall. The M badge small car at the beginning was an early Morse Miner. The Triumphs you saw were probably late 70s Tr-7 models, known for their wedge shape. That Porsche was an 80s 944 that had a front V6 or V8 engine. Strange for a Porsch, a company known for mid-engine sports cars but now considered an affordable "Supercar" now, if you can count Porsches low end consumer model a supercar. You can find running models for under 10k and they have a real fan base in the US.
1980’s 944 is correct but they had 4 cylinders. 2.5 liters for the earlier cars with the later editions and the 968 getting a 3.0 liter 4 cylinders. The 928 from the late 70’s through the early 90’s had a V8.
Excellent video!! One of my favorite car memories was going to a local junkyard with my father to find a plain trunk lid for my Mustang GT convertible.
Always like walking through junk yards and seeing whats in there. The car at 12:10 is a Porsche 944. They made a turbo and NA version. Wanted a turbo model for awhile.
7.35 its a Morris minor with high line lights and when I was young we had the same but low line lights that just means the head lights are in the front fender, cheers
That’s a Fiat 850 Sport Spider, my father used to have one and I drove it for a while. That’s a second generation with a 900cc 40something hp. Funniest thing is that the front lights from the first series and the rear lights for both of the series was also used on the Lamborghini Miura, a 3million dollars car. They don’t worth much, but I would take them as a memorabilia.
13:38 is an oddball. It’s a Mercury Capri from the late 80s/early 90s. An Australian built front wheel drive 2+2 convertible. It shared engine components with a Mazda 323. 22:53 is also a Mercury Capri, but for some reason they wrote “96 Capri” on it. 1994 was the last model year.
Its crazy mike is skilled as he is on working on cars an knows so much about jdm cars but has so little knowledge on American classic cars oh well at least he admits it's an is so humble you can tell mike is a good guy
21:30 Old Mercedes in the background. Rearwheel drive and sometimes manual cars with six cylinder straight engines if it is the right specs. Always worth checking those cars out.
Looks like that was a 944 S. That thing has a really pretty rare (and expensive) DOHC cylinder head. Love the 944, I recently just got mine running with an LS1 in the front. It was super fun to build and even more fun to drive!
24:35 Those are Triumph TR7's. Back in the 70s they'd be considered normal sized in Britain I think, thats where they come from. I own a 1980 triumph spitfire 1500, tiny little things. The designer of the TR7 was Harris Mann, its the car hes most famous for.
4:52 I believe the white section on the odometer rolls over every .10 of a mile, so that truck would have 5,402 miles on it. I have a Ranger with that style Mileage Readout, I guess they didn't think they would last past 100k miles to not put a spot for it.
So fun fact... the Ford LTD II is from the 70's. specifically is an automobile produced and marketed by Ford Motor Company between 1977 and 1979. The Pontiac Eight straight-8 engine is an inline eight-cylinder automobile engine produced by Pontiac from 1933 to 1954. I believe some of the other cars you looked at with some of the hose hard body lines and shapes also derive from the 50's. I hope this helps with that little knowledge I had.
This one’s close to my house owner knows me now haha, buys parts off me I don’t use, this junkyard doesn’t crush cars until every parts off of them it’s sweet
8:16 That’s an International Harvester, not sure on what model, they make industrial trucks and tractors. They used to make pickup trucks and SUVs until the late 70s or early 80s. My dad and I have an International Scout 80 which has a Ford Bronco-like body with the philosophy of a Jeep, they get mistaken for Broncos a lot but they are a bit more “utility” and have inline 4 engines (until the Scout 800 and Scout II which had v8 engines and more luxury features to compete with the Bronco)
Felt good to explore a yard again, which car was your favorite?
Quartz is a clock in these oldies
i drive a scion and that yellow TC was the limited edition of that year i think its the 7th series with i think like 25 hundred made with TRD edition everything or it could have been modified to look like the TRD EDITION

The car with the fiberglass fenders and wooden dash, was/ is a kit car for a vw chassis. that was the trans in the rear👍
Such an interesting kit, can't say I've seen one driving around before
If I recall correctly there where a few versions, I saw them a bunch in the 90s in vw magazines.
Also the wheel on its hood is from a MG
Didnt know the mg's came with a vw big 5 lug wheel🙂 ive never seen one like that...i guess if your from england you would know😉 👍@brianwalsh7664

mike: "I'm walking on door handles :)"
6:30 This is an MP Lafer, a Brazilian fiberglass car built on a VW Beetle chassis and based on the MG GD.

Its crazy mike is skilled as he is on working on cars an knows so much about jdm cars but has so little knowledge on American classic cars oh well at least he admits it's an is so humble you can tell mike is a good guy
I love Al’s auto salvage. The owner is a great guy
I love how the old pre 70s 80s american cars got patina instead of just rot. A european car can go from mint paint to major rot holes in no time.
That place is like 10 minutes from my house! So cool that you went there
yasss, I missed these videos!
21:30 Old Mercedes in the background. Rearwheel drive and sometimes manual cars with six cylinder straight engines if it is the right specs. Always worth checking those cars out.
Interesting! I'll keep those in mind
man junkyards are just the best! Got me ready to go hit some local ones
Looks like that was a 944 S. That thing has a really pretty rare (and expensive) DOHC cylinder head.
Love the 944, I recently just got mine running with an LS1 in the front. It was super fun to build and even more fun to drive!
24:35 Those are Triumph TR7's. Back in the 70s they'd be considered normal sized in Britain I think, thats where they come from. I own a 1980 triumph spitfire 1500, tiny little things. The designer of the TR7 was Harris Mann, its the car hes most famous for.
4:52 I believe the white section on the odometer rolls over every .10 of a mile, so that truck would have 5,402 miles on it. I have a Ranger with that style Mileage Readout, I guess they didn't think they would last past 100k miles to not put a spot for it.
I think from a few google searches the CA Quartz device is a Hour Tracker for the vehicle. it could also be a digital clock.
Interesting! Good info!
23:47 tfiumph tr7, coolest rwd british rally car ever. V8 too surprisingly
So fun fact... the Ford LTD II is from the 70's. specifically is an automobile produced and marketed by Ford Motor Company between 1977 and 1979.
The Pontiac Eight straight-8 engine is an inline eight-cylinder automobile engine produced by Pontiac from 1933 to 1954. I believe some of the other cars you looked at with some of the hose hard body lines and shapes also derive from the 50's. I hope this helps with that little knowledge I had.
I love your vid dude this helps me fix my car thank you
seeing that porsche 944 was pretty sad, they've been my attainable dream car for a long time
the bump in the hood is for the cam gears to clear because they stick up above the hood line
This one’s close to my house owner knows me now haha, buys parts off me I don’t use, this junkyard doesn’t crush cars until every parts off of them it’s sweet
8:16 That’s an International Harvester, not sure on what model, they make industrial trucks and tractors. They used to make pickup trucks and SUVs until the late 70s or early 80s. My dad and I have an International Scout 80 which has a Ford Bronco-like body with the philosophy of a Jeep, they get mistaken for Broncos a lot but they are a bit more “utility” and have inline 4 engines (until the Scout 800 and Scout II which had v8 engines and more luxury features to compete with the Bronco)
