I love that my boys get the opportunity to grow up around these cars! They love it as much as their dad/uncles and grandpa! ❤️

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

I appreciate them for having me that day. I had fun.. lots of good projects and some good old boys and their Toys. Thanks for watching Mis Browne.

[@mebinglesideil26]

Hi, Right out of the gate, the Buick at 3:34.

[@davidleland8729]

Really hurts to see all that history just rotting away in that field! Any of those base model cars can be restored into a clone. Sure is alot of potential projects there.

[@OsbornTramain]

rotting away? Seem well preserved to me...it's Texas, not New England

[@willythewave]

@@OsbornTramain Exactly, no rotted out floors or nothin. Even the exposed instrument panels and stuff looked good.

[@alexkautz5766]

Thank you for this awesome walk down memory lane in an absolutely amazing yard!

[@careycraig4360]

Great Walk Around! I followed you through the entire yard. Auto Salvage Yards like this one have been gone from my area since the early 70's, after about 1968 they started to crush all the old cars, a real shame. Many of the cars you walked by brought memories back to me. My first car was a 1960 Studebaker Lark, and I saw several of them in the yard. I was also big at the time into 1956 Cadillac's, and I saw a few of those on your walk. Between the years 1969 and 1977 about I went through about 2 or 3 cars a year, old wrecks I would fix up and drive for a while then sell or trade for something else. I saw most of them on your walk around. A Great way to spend a Day indeed. I Hope you find what you are looking for on one of these walks. Most of the old cars in this yard have been pretty much stripped to the bone though and one would have to have a VERY BIG BANK ACCOUNT to attempt any restoration I think. However, it is so interesting just to walk by or around these old relics " It don't cost a cent " and it's Good Exercise to boot. Again, Good-Luck with your Auto Hunt!!

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

Thanks Bubby. I enjoy the hunt. Even tho Guys have been hunting and finding classics for years. There are still plenty to find. Not really in Junk yards or salvage any more. But Private Collections are where its at. These guys who bought them all up over the years is your best bet. Why my show is different than others. Thanks for watching. More to come.

I heard of a place out side Austin where the scraped 110 + 30-70s cars . No salvage . Mr. Good pliers covered part of it , Bummer !!!!!!

[@jakereal3604]

It’s very sad to think that at one time these cars were all brand new and were someone’s pride and joy and now time and the elements go them! It’s literally to me like a graveyard as the old cars HAVE A SOUL

THESE CARS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD OFF YEARS AGO INSTEAD OF BEING LEFT TO ROT AWAY.. THIS IS A CRIME IN ITSELF TO LET CLASSIC CARS ROT AWAY IN A FIELD AND THEN YEARS LATER EXPECT SOMEBODY TO PAY TOP DOLLAR TO RESTORE A CAR THEY'LL NEVER ENJOY OR FINISHING RESTORING.

[@sebylgi4757]

That 59 Caddy from 5:24 min is so nice and in good shape .Perfect car for restoration .If someone read this message please save that car !!! And Texas heart keep continue to make those videos !!! hello from Romania !

Looking for a 1970-1972 cutlass s to restore needs to be complete don’t care if it has motor or transmission

[@kevinfloyd1864]

Thanks for the tour. These were the cars I grew up with (born 1955). I was surprised to see a 1981/82 Datsun 200SX - at 1:02:46. Sadly I had to sell the car a little over a year after I bought it (new). I completely snapped my achilles tendon on my left leg. My leg being in a full cast made it impossible to drive a stick shift. Oh well things happen. Again super video. A nod and a wag to Spot.

[@daleldordal5154]

I need trunk lid for a 74 Lincoln Town car.

[@hannaguitars]

Well Thomas, thanks for another fine Texas sunday evenong walk around !

[@scarletshoes]

Thank you! The tour was amazing. We will be traveling through the SW to Texas and will definitely check out Texas wrecking yards. I have a few questions of your filming if you don't mind. Do you film your walk arounds with a hand held tripod for your phone? Or is someone filming on a camera? I ask because I have just done a similar walk-through of the Big M Automotive/Classic Car Dismantling and I had a lot of jumpy footage while walking. Love Texas.

[@dougzera1487]

Great job as always brother!!!!

[@alcrook6662]

Great upload thanks. A fascinating journey through some sort of preserved relics of american automobilia. It shows in 2022 a great assortment of what is left. I liked the falcon ranchero you whizzed by. This collection should be given special historical recognition by the state.I can only imagine the work it took to accumulate this gorgeous vista. Cheers to the owner of this site and to you for documenting it. Salut from Montreal.

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

Glad you enjoyed it. Hi from Texas

[@dyer2cycle]

..10:51..that's a nice old coupe..at first glance I thought it was a '41 Chevrolet, but on second look, I think it may be a '40 Buick..thoughts, anyone?...

[@HernanVillanova]

Hi, so lovely cars there! I don't understand one thing: this cars can't be rebuilt and be legal? I mean, if someone buy on, can bring it to life without having problems later with law? I would save all the Porsche and small convertible cars that you showed (MG). And also some few "Americans"

[@listenchannel1900]

You said you were gonna focus on 1 side at a time, and walk down the line WELL DO IT! QUIT SWINGING THE CAMERA AROUND!

Glad you enjoyed!

There are cars that i like the most. 1955 Ford Thunderbird, 1959 Ford Anglia, 1959 Ford Fairlane, 1966 Pontiac Tempest, Dutson 240Z, 1950 Mercury, 1950 Aston Martin, 1967 Mercury Cougar. I like all cars that are unique and not so common and there are some unique cars i like there.

there was an old yard outside town that opened in the late 20s and closed in 1964 cars were 3 high with building full of bumpers windows trip one for each he wouldn't let you in inless you new someone they said there were about 30000 cars then when he died they crushed it all with a big moble crusher it took about a year was sad but was a great place to find that old hard to find part right here in louisville but he new what it was worth right up intell the end rip pete good

[@georl1]

These cars a great if someone needs a part, but to take one of these and rebuild it would cost you more than if you'd buy one in decent condition.

[@davidnorth3411]

You do need to have the welding skills , or a good buddy , with an estimate $3k to pull off an opened up car in some cases , it’s best to look for all glass up and existing , or it’s putting pans in . A lot to look at their , a lot .

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

what I was told.. not for sure tho

[@txsailor57]

I live 10 miles from this yard. I have tried and tried to buy parts from them. I have called and left messages but never got a return call. I went out there and there is a sign that says do not enter call this number. I saw there were people there so I did as the sign said and called again. No answer and the guy I saw there just looked at me. I gave up and found the parts on the internet.

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

I called number on sign too. He was gone, but his boys were there.

[@antwonew219]

If cars could only talk would thay have some great storys to tell

[@jaymortensen642]

Man you kind of seemed irritated walking by all the Studebakers I know you said you were born in 82 but you also said you loved fast cars. They had a car in the end of the 50's that did 150 mph that was really fast in those days it was the Hawk they had the silver hawk and golden hawk and around 1960 they made the GT hawk. I swore I saw you walk by 2 GT's and either a silver or golden but I could not see the wings on the back so I'm not sure but maybe right before the GT they took them off the GT did not have them. They had 3 engine versions all 289 V8's it had a real wide V between opposing pistons and a tubed intake like Pontiac. There was the thunderbolt which had a 2 barrel then the R1 that had a hopped up cam and 4 barrel then the R2 that had a paxton supercharger. At the beginning of the 60;s they made the Avanti which had either the R1 or R2 engine. After Packard dragged the corporation down sucking all the profits off Studebaker and they all collapsed and I think Nash was also part of that the Avanti rights were sold off to a private company that continued to make them when they ran out of Studebaker 289's they bought fords and GM motors and made those cars up into the 70's. Back then it was the big 4 not the big 3 Studebaker was actually a good car company it was Packard that was the problem and they were like the mother company. I had a GT Hawk I never got it on the road but it was a cool looking car it had a 4 speed with cragers and white paint dual exhaust I had a guy tell me he had one just like it { he was my age so it had to be in the late 70"s or 80'smost likely the same car he was from the same area the car came from} said he raced a car not on a highway but a 4 lane road and said he hit 140 I know the road he had to have some get up and go to get to that speed think about it out of the box my 92 vette I think was 161 TE that 1960 Hawk was getting there.

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

Hey buddy thanks ,yeah there was a lot of stuff to see . I like Studebaker‘s I used to have one. Earlier episodes didn’t know they were that fast. That’s really cool thanks for watching.

[@jaymortensen642]

Diff yard maybe

[@davidnorth3411]

In Houston their were yards like these but the demand for land slowly evaporate their existence . Hardy’s Auto salvage was one were I found a perty pair of high back Mach 1 seats for my 69 mustang , this was back in 94 , the old man was still around and had kept it going with the help of his son , he must have been in his eightys by then , I remember just walking and gaulking at all the old rows of vintage stuff , the gallery of old photos on the wall in the office showed the age of the place . Hardy Toll road blew through half of the property he owned but it still remains today , just no old cars , ,,, they say ,,, To continue my quest on parts a man who had his own private stash of mustang parts , he had it gated and secured , you had to call in to get access , once their he would show parts he had if you were buying . I didn’t need much but wanted the tour , remember racing motors , pictures of wrecked Shelby’s over the last 3 decades , just all cool stuff he had , around the same year . Then up north of Houston , bugger Reds place , he drove a big block hot rod red ford truck , I remember seeing every muscle car from the 60s , 70s , he had been around for quit sometime , I think all these men came from a different era that spoke of tradition . They would talk with you for a bit , then let you pass openly onto their land after you produced for them one thing , a fever they once had , it’s knowledge .

[@williamadams8353]

My first car at age 16 was a 1969 Chevy impala custom coupe. It was a big block 396, turbo 400 trans, and a posi rear end. The year was 1979 and it cost me $300. The day of my birthday I went to the DMV and passed my test, and drove my car home. I got my first paycheck job at age 14 at a local drive in burger joint, and that $300 represented a lot of bussed tables, and a lot of dishes washed.

[@dyer2cycle]

24:42..that Rambler American there beside that Plymouth..definitely worth something..looks like it is a 2-door, also..

[@zackkazco2098]

How about some back story on these yards? Like how did all these cars get there? How and why did the Yard owner get started? What does the owner plan on doing with all these cars? Just let them rust away?

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

Good idea Zack

[@dyer2cycle]

..1:26..that '59 Chevy..now THAT'S what I call a "4-door parts car"... :)

[@timwerner7771]

I have not been to Browne's but I did buy a car from a similar salvage yard in New Mexico. All these cars are not necessarily from the sunny south. Folks need to know that, for instance in my case, my car had spent most of it's life in Colorado. Not exactly salt and rust free.

Do u all have any 64-66 Chevy long bed pickup project trucks

[@heartoftexasbarnfindsandcl5193]

Not at the moment

[@TairnKA]

At 38:15; when you said "Monza Spyder", my first thought was a Corvair (seen at 38:00). ;-) It would be kewl if you could go in there with some knowledgeable friends (body work, mechanical, etc...) and put together as many vehicles as possible (everything works, rust fixed) from the parts available there.

[@kenswitzer4133]

You have a pretty good grasp on many of these cars. My favorite is the 68 coronet. That lays little ford you mentioned was a 11957 custommy parents bought a new ome in 1957serms like Dad had to put a new clutch in it about every 6 months. Had a 272 with 3 on the tree. Several years laterI bought a beater that hardly had a clutch at all. That's when O learned to replace a clutch. Sophomore in high school it even had an old rebuilt engine from sears that was maroon in color. Got some pretty good mechanical experience there. Not complaining though. It help me through the years since. I never considered a car that broke as junk since I learned from them. I enjoy your channel. I was just thinking it would take me two weeks to see that yard because I remember almost every car out there. thanks Much!!!!👍👍👍😁✌️👌🤙🏻😁

[@karenmiles5217]

I believe that little jag type 4 Dr. with the Pontiac On the deck lid may have been or had an Austin Healey Rear End. Maybe someone was trying to make a 4 DR. Healey which are rare as Hens teeth. Thanks for your time. George Miles.
