Exploring A Classic Car Junkyard

Exploring a classic car junkyard. We have got ourselves a treat on this one. I usually make videos on individual classics I run across in the self serve wrecking yards but not today my friends. Today we get to go exploring on some private land that has quite the collection of old rides. Some are just parts cars but others looked to be in good enough shape to be saved. There were old rides everywhere, some out in the open and others hidden in the trees ans bushes. The first day it was super hot and the next day it rained while both days the mosquitoes were out in full force. Even the ticks were an issue but I muscled through it and it was well worth it in my book. I bought some parts and made a deal on a #1961parkwoodwagon. This place was pretty dang cool if you ask me. #classiccarjunkyard #classiccaryard

Hope you enjoy it 👍

[@chrisrhoads8256]

Are we in junk yard heaven sir wow unbelievable love it seeing classical cars be in time/ nice 👍

[@markrudolph683]

Get them off the ground!! Love station wagons!!!❤❤❤

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

That '67 442 factory 4 speed is worth some bucks as is.

[@cruisinginmy94]

Just because it's a 442 doesn't mean it's a 4 speeds. The 442 origin is 400cid, 4 barrels, dual exhaust.

[@73buickman]

Like the blue 73 buick centurion convertible

[@TheBadasspony]

....i was crying the whole video!!!!!😪

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Not many Fords. The few Mustangs were rough. On a side note, he said back in the day he would get the highway patrol Mustangs. Still had a few but were pretty gone

[@andyweber8522]

A gold mine of needed vintage parts right here !!!!

[@OdySlim]

Thanks for taping this yard. I am a GM Man. It has been a long time since I have seen cars of this vintage. I was born in the early 60's and grew up seeing all of these models on the road. Even older. If I were there I would be having panic attacks trying to decide what to buy. Regards from Ody Slim

[@brucegwynn8509]

My cousin had a 1982 caprice diesel, no kidding, he drove it for years between Virginia and new York iron working, wherever that car is, it's probably running, once or twice a year in the winter we would pull up and fill up the tank with kerosene and pull off freaking people out

[@davidnorth3411]

In 1991 I remember searching for yards for my 69 Mach 1 , just a lot of walking until I found this old yard in Houston that resembled your days search here , found during that trip some Mach 1 high back seats in nearly perfect shape , it was sitting since the early eightys .

[@mikeabresch3827]

Ryan from Iowa classic cars would probably be interested in that 1960 elcomimo

Thanks and happy 4th to you as well 👍

[@adamtereska8734]

Little bit of a different question: what would be your favorite underappreciated vehicle? For me, the Torino chassis cars. Torino, Montego, Cougar, LTD II, and especially the Thunderbird

[@bobaque70]

Alot of history there.just like an outdoor museum..

[@Voiceinthewoods]

ford dentside white swb.like some of the cutlasses..74 camaro .and a couple bumpsides

[@paulhare662]

Thank you for the tour. You just made finishing my 65 Chevy 2 wagon look a whole lot easier.

[@burtbenz9964]

Wagons b awesumm

[@CR7659]

Yes, the Studebaker Champ was the result of a very low budget update to their pickups. They hadn't been redesigned since 1949. The cab is a Lark sedan cut in half and the beds were leftover Dodge parts they bought, or maybe they bought the tooling for them, I forget. Even the name badge is cheap - they took leftover "Champion" badges and literally broke off the I-o-N to put on these. There was one yard up here that had a few but it's been cleaned out since then.

[@AndysDogHouse]

I wish that there was a wrecking yard in my area. At one time there were 3 yards. Then the price of steel went up and everyone cashed in. No more yards. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

[@brucemyers8463]

Liked this video the first time. Liked it again. You should do more of these. Keep the great work up.

[@malikdigger4544]

Sheesh when saw those station wagons & Elcaminos in salvage yard my eyes got big quick where is this treasure yard located oh congrats on scoring 61 Parkwood wagon got any plans for ol grocery getter

All those olds and I only seen 1 or 2 1965 cutlass I believe. You didnt' stop and look at either but I am sure they were 65. Thanks for the great video. It must be awesome seeing all those classics.

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Unfortunately that place doesn't exist anymore. The owner retired, brought in a crusher and had the property cleared out.

[@pierregaillard7049]

All right, all right Benny... Super video... 👌👌👌 Snakes in this junkyard ??? 😬

[@willcartershaves]

Wow dude. How big a property is this? Wow that’s a lot of cars bro. I could identify a lot of em and there’s some I didn’t recognize. This is like hitting a gold mine dude. Only thing I’d be worried about in all this tall veggitation would be snakes. Be safe bro. Carry a snake bite kit.

[@2Bpatient]

Badass video! really want a try five .Hard to get in BC, Canada. Thanks for the blast from the past.

[@willyboy6126]

Fun tour of an era gone by! Some of those classic beauties can be saved! Thanks for the great video and I enjoyed every weed-tangled, obstruction minute of it....I love your humor and speaking manner. Kinda like a cross between Matthew McConaughey and Cheech & Chong.....very relaxing! Even though you said you lost a few subs, I subbed ya and rang that 'bell' ...Take care bro! Cheers from British Columbia, Canada! :D

[@dogsense3773]

You can save any think with enough money 💵

[@DYFEA]

bummer, all those classics and not A SINGLE 59 CADILLAC! been looking for parts for a hot minute now, no junkyard seems to ever have those haha

[@brettjones5041]

that 61 wagon . is cool mate . some good iron in there .

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Unfortunately that place is gone now. The owner retired and brought in a crushing company to clear the property

[@ryanheisey7719]

That t top 74 or 75 olds cutlass you looked at is a rare car I'm pretty sure its Hurst package olds judging by what badge shape used to be on the vinyl top

[@bartscanland9415]

Swivel buckets too.

[@matthewmckee9914]

Back in the days when cars had style, hey look thats a Oldsmobile, hey look thats a Buick, hey look thats a white 58 chevy, yes it is just like in American Graffiti.

🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@oldskool1979]

Damn.. such a long video.. just finished it now...thanks man

[@briang4470]

Wow, I cant believe that an actual 442 with a 4 speed got junked. For some reason it seems like 90% of the "442s" you see are automatic for some reason and the ones with the factory manual trans seem to go for double what one with an auto will sell for.

[@royearl1094]

yep we junked a few go0d cars .but the automatic is the kiss of death for 442.s and pontiac gto,s

[@ratonmoya]

Hi, did you see the 442 at the begining of the video? I just want to make Shure it was, thank you.

[@courtneymoyer2690]

I wouldn't mind having that 1966 olds f85 four door hard top at 7:47.

[@jamesdamrom751]

All GTO s got 242 in the vin plate!👍👍

[@stevieraycharles1799]

Thanks for the videos. I've been restoring a 65 Cutlass convertible and would love to walk this yard!

[@ClassicRideSociety]

Unfortunately this yard doesn't exist anymore. The owner retired and crushed out the yard back in December

[@jeffholman7958]

Thanks Benny, these are the kind of yards I remember going to when I was a kid. You took me back with this one. Any of those A-body GM cars have and salvageable bucket seats?

[@josephcrispell7975]

Save that wagon

[@doug9066]

Looked like a Bronco II which I knew someone in high school who had one which he bought new. I think was a 1985 he had but forget what year Ford Motor Company made those.

[@googleusergp]

1984 to 1990, then the Explorer replaced it in 1991.

[@williamdeegan7840]

On the Studebaker pick up. The cab IS a Studebaker CAB for a truck, not a car. The beds on the pick ups didn't line up. And the body styling was different .

[@deborahchesser7375]

My uncle owned a towing business and junkyard, my brother and I would stay with them in the summer and ride the tow trucks. We’d spend all day digging through those old cars and trucks, and being in the mid to late 70’s there were some cool vehicles in there. We sold him our 67’ Mustang 289 4 speed coupe, that bummed me out but what do you do at 11 ? The guy that bought it wrapped it around a pole soon after, 🙄

[@chicano5752]

Dam brotha that place is like heaven

[@williamdeegan7840]

That poor Buick Hearse. Looked like a 61. Probably built by Eureka or Superior. Rare.

[@haffrods7055]

I absolutely enjoyed the heck out of the tour man. I'm in need of a pair of doors for a 78-79 Olds Cutlass Salon or Buick Century 2 door aero back sedan. I have a 79 Turbo Coupe Century aero two door but my door bottoms are gone. Do you remember these ugly suckers? I love em though. They are the G body ugly step sisters. Lol
