OOPS! I Probably Shouldn't Have Done That... (Nothing is Safe from the CRUSHER)

[@garyduquette1784]

Maybe you should remind people you Owen and run a JUNKYARD not a goodwill store. And if they want something you have CASH IS KING!

[@speedfreak8200]

People don't realize that Silas actually finds homes for lotsa Cars/Trucks, plus parts, while others crush everything they buy that people don't see.

[@victorrobinson9116]

Stan the boat up on the back in which is the stern so that water or anyting else will not contaminate anything else on the boat I would myself replace the wood with something looking so beautiful varnished and stained !

[@bertmenden2645]

As a car enthusiast I could cry seeing you crush some of these cars, but I also understand the economics of junk vehicles. People always want some of these scrappers, but will back off at any reasonable asking price. The antique/vintage car/truck game is expensive!

[@lynnmackenzie9501]

Nice little trolling boat on a small pond. Easy to clean up

[@MartijnEnt]

Just found about this channel existed two weeks ago, and can’t stop watching! Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@ToddWoodward-r8h]

I understand why you explain to people why you do what you do, but in the end you know your market and you are not running a charity, you are providing for your family. Thanks for sharing!

[@sindrelangvatn7295]

Yes, only one part you my have get off the Cordoba is the rear marking light. This fit on Lebaron to. Try to get on my Lebaron. Have sell it. Keep up your work. Cash is king 😊😊

[@JohnShinn6078]

2:06 You have bigger ant mounds than we do here in Maryland. (4" dia. max) Thanks Silas was a pleasure seeing the "Pintang" being crushed. Stayin tuned! 🤠👍

[@ericamidon4775]

It was sad to see the mustang go but the funny thing is that when there was twenty million of them around nobody liked or cared about them. I myself always liked them. I always thought the fox body was UGLY square and boxy. Love your vids keep them coming

[@BrianMDIY]

@23:29 Looks like a '59 Ford to me. Pretty sure that's the only year of that particular vented hood style. Very cool to see it in this video.

[@sararedfearn4691]

Once more thank you for your time taking us around your place. I just love seeing American trucks and cars. Things I don’t see here in England, UK. Keep well to you and your family. JR/UK.

[@ramblingman8992]

Interesting to note how vehicle title transfers work in the US. Over here in the UK we would simply apply for a new V5 registration document if the old one is nowhere to be found. The V5 is our equivalent of your title.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Yes, for $10 the last registered owner could get a new one. The issue is that no one knows how to contact them.

[@jamesmarshalla8565]

Glad you saved the old boat Silas, super cool find! You got what you needed off the mustang and cordoba, so great job on that! I can watch you for hours on your yard projects, 👍😎!

[@artyalligator4768]

But the idiot hates classics

[@garysimonson9593]

you're getting downright snazzy with the editing, Silas. :) So the boat's a '59 model. Google-sleuthing tells me that might be a kinda rare boat. Only 100 of them were built in '57 per Starcraft. Vintage boat guys might get excited about this one.

[@haroldburch541]

Hi Silas, that little boat is pretty cool, I can't wait to see what your plans are for it! I'm sure you get tired of hearing how you should do this or that, I know I sure would. This is your empire, and you keep running it the way you want! If everyone is so sure some of the old cars are worth saving why don't they buy them. You do a great job, and always have interesting content!! Do you save all the lug nuts I'm sure you aquire? Thank you for taking us on your busy days! 👍👍👍

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I try to toss the lugnuts in the cars as I pull them

[@charlesmauk4876]

For future reference the proper tool for them screws on the radio is an angle grinder

[@shrek_428]

Those screws on that Cordoba radio are Chrysler's little factory nightmare anti theft device, They make a special tool for them but I have no idea where to find one.

[@tmajcan94]

Hi Silas! I just subscribed to your channel less than a week ago. A coworker told me about you and I been binge watching your videos. Great content and you're very down to earth. I love watching things getting crushed here. Keep up the amazing work!

[@danwiegelman3443]

Good running & driving van you should keep it for a yard beater.

[@oldschooldodge1]

Silas, those funky looking bolts in the Cordoba for the radio, those are the original bolts Chrysler use those during the 80s for the radios. It takes a a special socket to remove them.

[@jamespn]

Vintage am fm 8 track from the Córdoba is a great score. Like the green Catalina 1962 maybe?

[@scottkinter2839]

Just an opinion, you might want to pull them motors out.... You get more because they are solid steel scrap... It's worth more....i have scrap yard experience, not that it means anything but you could make a lot more money.... Just saying.. what state you in.... Just curious.

[@Junkyard-Restorations]

I’m amazed that cordoba had the original OEM floor mats in it. Extremely rare.

[@alpinglow]

Glass, have you ever thought of saving glass out of the old ones?

[@gonsolop2429]

As viewers we must be content with " This is your journey to a successful outcome for your own prosperity & sanity. " You did right by the catillac. If most people who owned these yards you & your father are buying from had only bothered too advertise their inventory to the entire nation, most of these cars & parts could have avoided the crusher. Between the crusher & those whom only desire too part out cars & trucks, we the restorers are feeling SQUEEZED OUT & LEFT OUT OF THE LOOP until its too late...that last possible minute where we the restores must remorgage our house just too meet these IMPOSSIBLE RANDOM DEADLINES. INSANE.

[@russellstarr9111]

The radio screws are called tri-wing and those are factory installed.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I’ve pulled the temp controls and radios out of probably 200 70s-90s mopar products and I’d never seen them. I see why people throw then away and replace them.

[@JL-bs6yz]

The white ford looked decent 👍👍👍👍

[@mattbrown5511]

Silas, you have to do what is best for you and your business. Keep on doing your thing.

[@alanalzee4849]

Im a bit late to the party but that Mercedes SEC is a gold mine for parts, the front grille if you can even find one will come with a heavy price 😉

[@mmotodad]

Back in the 80's Snap On made a socket to fit those Chrysler radio security screws. I remember Mr. Snappy telling me each week that I needed one. I must have replaced 100s of Chrysler and Dodge radios and then I had two cars come in on the same day needing that dang socket. Some like that Cordoba had plenty of room to get "other" tools in there to make it work, others were a little tighter and so I finally bought one of the sockets.

[@mmotodad]

Search Eaton Tamper Resistant screw.....

[@Captain-zu1ks]

Completely agree , i do the same thing in Indiana

[@johnhaines2299]

The Mustang II and other similar clasics, should be set out front along the highway. Like a used car lot. Perhaps a movie of the clasic car lot? Ask 3 times the scrap price.

[@evankibbe590]

Sweet 😊😊😊😊😊😊👍

[@robertraber4770]

The mustang 11 made merry parts here in Indiana are hard to fine in good shape Or they want way to much. I got two cars and would love get them running again.

[@toddtakacs5003]

In the salt belt a late model F-150 with no rust, dents, and clean paint would have never been thrown away. Shame on the person who sold it to you. I have to admit I shed a tear for that one. As for the others. Sometimes junk is junk. Better to recycle then to have them just rot away back into Mother Earth. Thank you for the videos.

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎

[@danielsweeney6742]

Silas I worked at a Ford Plant back in the early 90’s There was a guy who worked there was friends with Henry Ford back in the day he had the first or second Mustang II off the line. It was a beautiful bright blue with white strips V8 stick. Mind you in the early 90’s this old fella must have been well in his 80’s.

[@pierrelaboom4026]

Silas! Old friend pete!Another shirtless summer for myself,hope your health is well,your videos are becoming very professionally done,and as always very entertaining! Thanks from new Hampshire!

[@Starman998]

That Ford F-150 and Tundra are easily 10k +++ trucks here in Texas. Over 20k crushed there. Even parted out those parts would have sold lighting quick. Those trucks were not even that old!

[@mack_mcmillan]

Hey Silas been with you since the first video and im still loving the videos! Keep them coming!

[@oifivguy]

The Mustang II really hurt, but at the end of the day, ya got to do what you got to do!!! Thanks for the great clips,

[@donsab-xz4so]

Why? Mustang IIs were complete dogs. Many do not even consider them to be Mustangs.

[@Mr-er6fg]

A bastard Mustang ! Would love to smash them all!

[@oifivguy]

@@donsab-xz4so It's more of a sentimental thing, the wife had one when we were dating, we went all over the place in her car, and in that color of blue, but all blue no white top.

[@cm5838]

It is a shame seeing some of that stuff get fed to the crusher like the f150 and the tundra but what do you do? Can’t just hang on to it forever. It’s especially painful for me watching parts I need get smushed, we have no wrecking yards nearby. Kansas is just a bit far to drive right now with gas being a gazillion dollars a gallon.

[@bobmorrison5636]

Googled the boat near as i can tell its circa 1957, the pics that came up look just like it.. (starcraft ski champ 14') was what i googled

[@claytondewey3367]

Great video. Got to clear the excess out to make room for more profitable vehicles. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@donsab-xz4so]

clip the cords on those appliances!

Screws on radio are chrysler tamper proof, takes the method you used, or a special socket

[@kennethhough3251]

This was the first time I seen your channel. Years ago I worked in a junkyard in Leadville Colorado. And watching you crush cars brought back memories. I know it's a lot of work making sense of it all. But after two years the yard was organized. But then again that was 40 years ago. Not even sure if the junkyard in Leadville still exist. I enjoy watching and I will continue. Have a great day!

You should try "Gfuel" energy drinks. Most flavors have 200 mg. of caffeine and not too much niacin. They are all sugar free and that could be a problem if you don't like artificial sweeteners. I like them but they are hard to find. They can be ordered online.

[@JohnFarrington-js1pf]

Would like the 5 window coupe in the background

[@williamhouk6880]

Silas, when in doubt, SEND IT!😊

[@Mr_Everyman]

@adventuresmadefromscratch crystal light makes a caffeinated water flavoring with ul only 60mg if caffeine per serving for when it's hot out and hot want to drink water. The store brand around here has 120mg per serving, so there's that as well and a lot cheaper than buying energy drinks.

[@selders591]

Good morning Silas, I keep seeing this Jeepster you have at your yard. It is a 2 door and is white and red I believe. I am interested in what shape is it in and how much are you asking for it? I live in Tennessee.

[@james_hangover9292]

That Dinghy would make a good garden bed. 🍀🌱⚘

[@gonsolop2429]

5: 39 Mustang 2 front subframes [ in 2024 still, yes they do. Especially now that mechanics & skilled laborers are making CRAZY WAGES us po folks can't afford to pay. ] are desired by car modders for cross platform in Tn., possibly all boardering states. The engines & trandmissiins get sold prity quickly in Tn. The front bucket seats are desireable to some as well. Electric buckets aren't for everybody. Manuel is jump in & go time. Less time spent on one's butt & more time focussed on the car. 😁❤ In Northern states Mustang 2 had a different name. This was a luxury model of sorts. I liked the buckets in them, for their design. To each his own.

[@garthland]

You take boats?! I worked at a junkyard here in NY 20yrs ago or so and we would put the fiberglass boats outback right next to the crick and wait for a good rain-they would come up missing,wierd! LOL

[@miamimo70]

How rare was that stainless trim on the bottom of the Cordoba….oh well

[@JasonAlexander-uz4ns]

Glad you see art but I don't understand what you keep and what Getz crushed I see vehicles you crush you should keep and one that just sit forever you pass over. I understand you keeping old things but some of that modern stuff should go.. keep up the good work you work hard 👍

[@ronnieperdue2977]

Crushing up some nice looking trucks my buddy rented a crusher back in the day he did that kind of work I used to work with him but he has passed away good money in the scrap metal some time his hands would get sticky

[@joeherndon5815]

That serial number on boat makes 1959 that would of been my Guess late 50 early 60's before you read serial number. As far as crushing goes totally you're call your business you save a lot more than I probably would great job always interesting to watch what you do

At the end of the day you’ve saved so many classics that the way you did the caddy was likely the best for its condition. Keep up the great work and videos!

I for one will always say, “do it your way”. You have to make sure you make as much money as you can. You have a family to take care of. They come first! Keep on crushing!!!! 🤣😂😅👍

Some of the chrome on that Cordoba is very desirable. Its the same as the 80s miradas too. I luv those cars and don't give a shit what anyone else thinks on that, they have no idea how cool those cars can be.

[@NickFortier]

I can understand crushing the Cordoba. Didn't see the Corinthian leather in there....

[@oneparticularharbor144]

Now we know what happened to all the Corsica’s- they were not a rare car and fairly good styling for the ear... and of course that Corinthian Leather. There were some larger engines stuffed into a few but I’ve never seen one at a cruise in. Maybe they all went that way. Had a 76 Mustang in college - I remember it was a 3 speed stick. Sort of- , wouldn’t stay in gear in second unless you held the shifter . Not one of my favorites, I think I gave it to my GF at the time and was glad to see it go
