Junkyard Gems! Checking 60 years of classic cars stashed in a scrapyard

[@danielcoetzee5793]

Man, that place is like heaven to me. Even just a stroll through the yard would be therapy for me!

[@dlynch1898]

Shocking how much we throw away. My brother drove a golden hawk in high school that he and my dad fixed up I miss that car to this day. TFS I rarely get excited about new cars. The old cars are my favorite 🤩. Enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Blessings from California.

Im from Australia- I’ve always wondered why North Americans love their 2 door cars so much. Here- we love our 4 doors, do them up, hot rod them, race them. Thanks for the vid and Good luck with your police car build.

[@robertwoodpa6463]

Back in the day we considered two doors sportier and better looking generally. Not true today

[@BL2197]

Robert Wood PA if I went out and bought a 2-door car- I’d be accused of having a mid-life crisis.....

[@thomasbrown2246]

Two-door cars are sporty-er they're lighter that makes them faster. I think of a four-door as grandfather's car or grandmother's car. And if you drive a four door car you must have children.

[@alshotrodsandratrods8780]

Most cars were designed as 2 door cars. The design is compromised by adding two extra doors. 4 doors are getting more popular in the states because they cost a lot less than a 2 door.

This is a great junk yard. Most other yards have cars that have damage or are rusted bad. Nice to see cars with interiors that are somewhat complete. You need to make more videos of this yard.

[@kalvinlabuik3366]

wow I like your respect and appreciate of classic vehicles

[@laurabodin726]

For Alex and Melissa and family My Dad used to have a wrecking yard around Georgian Bay Ontario from 1964-1969 or maybe a bit earlier. It is nice to see these classic cars again. We would have a lot of cars from the 50's; also a wooden panel truck, an army truck etc. We had 124 acres but we used about two farmer fields for the cars. He used the cars for parts and then would get the guy to come from Barrie and crush them when they were stripped. Sometimes I think it would have been "neat" to have kept the hood ornaments. I think they would be worth a lot. This video brings back good memories. The business is probably still running today; by somebody else of course. It it on a rural road not far from town. We moved to the Queen Charlotte Islands in the fall of 1969. We have moved since. I am back in Ontario; most of my family is on Vancouver Island, so I enjoyed your videos of that as well and passed them on to the family as well. Good halibut and chips on the Fisherman's Wharf in Victoria where you where. Going for a visit this spring and plan to go there again. It will be worth it.

It is always disturbing when you find someone who has all this vintage gold and just lets it lay out in the weather to rot. Sell them or give them to someone who can put them to use before they disolve. Imagine the parts value alone of most of those cars and trucks.

I agree but I think it's because they are American cars which I think non U.S. folk admire more than our European car's that mostly look alike.

Letting these vehicles rot away is a tradgedy.

How much is in that place is beyond probably most peoples imagination, must be at least 300 hundred cars and probably much more in bikes, trucks, spares and so on.

But when I do get the chance I always have: gloves, snake shields, mosquito spray, flashlights, and a stick to poke around at things.
