Classic Car Junkyard - What doesn’t SELL gets CRUSHED

[@rickloera9468]

13:05 The 64 Valiant is a 60/62 model. The green Cadillac with front damage is a 55/56 4 door hardtop with factory A/C. The Fire Chicken at the beginning was a Camaro. The Studebaker was most likely used as anmail.carrier car. AMC had right-hand drive mail car Ambassador models in the late 60's. The Dodge wagon is super rare. Those are the factory pedals. Has the pedal.dress up option. The dual band white wall. The tires on the Dodge wagon were very popular from about 1968 to 1971. So even though it was on the road til 1980, it probably didn't get much use. The silver foreign car atbthe beginning was a Lancia Beta from probably 1976 or so.

[@whattherust]

That Mopar wagon is the star of the yard. That RHD Studebaker is cool too. Cool video.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

That dodge wagon would be sweet to have!

[@russwabuda1556]

wow, i'm 67 and wish i could grow up and be you. i agree about valiant, exner was brilliant. the more those cars age, the better they look. mazda trucks were popular in connecticut, but no so much the piston ones. i'm glad you want the lanchia. those were popular with the new york set. they are just enough different to be snobish without being freaky. we had a number of those car yards in connecticut. you really had to go there a few times on your best church behavior before you were allowed to look around. those old owners really thought of those cars as their pets and were very protective. what absolute treasures we saw. thank you for this tour. i really enjoyed myself and want to extend my best wishes.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

I appreciate your comment greatly! I have asked for a price on the old Lancia. It is a pretty complete car that I do not know much about which makes it just that more exciting. I’m also trying to get that big old red Dodge wagon that is just way too cool! Any of those yards left still in Connecticut?

[@russwabuda1556]

@@RealSteelFabrications to the best of my knowledge no. i wish i could take you to ralph coles yard in woodbury. so standoff-ish to start with, to a solid friend in the end. he never scrapped an interesting car, and there were hundreds of them. he knew them all. when he retired he cataloged them. mt tobe auto near the waterbury airport was another favorite. some really great cars. the big problem at that place was that the family was always fighting (with guns). a young man could make a deal only to be caught up in the fued. as the years rolled by you could watch that car rot right in that spot. whittakers had cars by the thousands, to go there was epoch. as a young man the feelings were so strong, i would slip away and spend a few minutes by myself. i bet you know what i mean. these places only exist as memories now. best wishes, my younger brother.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

@@russwabuda1556 wow! Couldn’t imagine deals where guns could possibly be involved. Appreciate the comment, I’m much like you and wish these old cars could all live a 2nd life. Take care!

[@russwabuda1556]

@@RealSteelFabrications i did not make myself clear. they used the guns on one another. not the customers. i did go over to the cousin's side of the property and was called back. they said the cousin was a shooter. i looked around me and there bullet holes in sheet metal everywhere, how ever the cousin did not shoot at me. i did try to by an international 8-16 tractor, but there was just no dealing with them. if i do find a yard in connecticut i will relay the information to you. best wishes.

[@MarkSwitzer-h1n]

Amazing vintage junkyard ! There's still some " valuable parts " left on many of those old vehicles that should be salvaged before they crush 'em . Some body might need a window or a door etc. Those parts are becoming more scarce with each passing year . Mark E. Switzer 7:44

Oh yeah. I dig that Mazda truck. That dealer install bumper is sweet!

[@RealSteelFabrications]

@@Oldbugssy that’s what I’m saying! I’ve never seen a dealership do something like that before

That Dodge wagon is cool and that 50s Cadillac 😎

[@RealSteelFabrications]

I would love to have that wagon. It’s a decent price but I guess pending

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Cadillac is a boat! Should have got some more footage of it. Pretty complete car. Someone bent the hood all up though

[@chrismarkes5488]

Yes that is true ,wish some one would fix it up

[@NDoghouse]

I couldn’t leave without that wagon

[@RealSteelFabrications]

I tried getting it

[@nathankim7664]

Honestly, that Ford Festiva would've been a great candidate for an easy fix! I'm happy you bought the Mazda B2000. That bumper is dealer added! Surprised that the rats didn't eat the papers! I also really like the RHD Studebaker, but it's too far gone unfortunately. It's become a Flintstone car at that point.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Fuel injected stuff can be difficult after sitting a while, unless that Festiva is old enough to have a carb. I love the Mazda bumper! Wish the old studebaker wasn’t so gone

[@ostrich67]

10:09 Right hand drive Studebaker, probably special ordered for rural mail delivery.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

You’re probably right

[@Ron-io3vu]

The old station wagon would be cool, the car you didn’t recognise was a lancia they rusted when leaving the factory and were recalled here in 🇬🇧, that one you see actually looked in good condition.

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Ya I didn’t see any major rust concerns on that Lancia surprisingly. Hopefully we can get the Dodge wagon.

[@Ron-io3vu]

The lancia is an extremely rare car now, I would imagine even more so in 🇺🇸, the wagon has such nice lines.

[@joelbrower6547]

[@lt.frankdrebin3317]

I want that turquoise mid-'50s Cadillac near the beginning of the vid. I'll also take that '57 Chevy 4 door seen not long after the Caddy.

[@VWNate1]

I hope you buy that Mazda pickup, it'll be loaded with small parts and unobtanium fasteners, brackets and so on . The rear step bumper you're so enamored of was a regular dealer thing ~ locally made and stamped with the dealer's name . Sadly, all these _could_ have been sold and saved decades ago but junkyard men are a funny bunch ~ they don't really want to sell anything until it's ruined beyond repair and totally worthless . I remember so many good vehicles in junkyards in the early 1960's, they just let them all rust away . I ran a pocket VW junkyard in a college town in the 1970's and I sold everything because one you've paid for the hulk it's all gravy . I don't think you showed 100 vehicles..... -Nate

[@RealSteelFabrications]

Got the Mazda! I love the bumper! You’re so right about if these were sold sooner a lot of them would be in much better shape. It’s a shame, but at least they are doing something about it now.
