FIELD OF DREAMS!!! NEGLECTED AND ABANDONED JUNKYARD FULL OF 1ST GEN CAMAROS AND MUSCLE CARS

Field full of at least 25 first generation Camaros and other musclecars found sitting on a hidden property in SW Tennessee.

[@setdecinmotion6719]

To myself, I find these cars almost beautiful in the state of condition there in. Somehow they esacaped the crusher, and they're still surviving. Each one with a history or story to tell. I find these videos that Patrick brings us, very strangely, more interesting than some of the recent car show videos seen here on You Tube. Maybe because they were not the lucky ones to have been pampered or garaged or sold at high auction. They've lived the hard life. I still can't see why anyone would collect these cars and letting them sit like this. But at least they're still here.

[@cnyreview3632]

*Thank you Mr. Nichols for another great video.*

[@peterdowdy3483]

Some awesome treasures!!!! Thanks for sharing😎😎

[@Jmac831]

Another awesome video. I love seeing whats still out there just waiting to be repaired. It kills me when ppl say there are no more old cars left to be restored. The problem is they just dont wanna look. Thanx for showing us some more diamonds in the rough.

[@Guy-mx4fb]

Problem with these is that it's too much damage to repair the rust,I'd like to done one that at least doesn't have holes in the body

[@chrisrobinson8610]

Most of these classics were new when I was a driver/owner aged teenager, and now I feel as old as they look, after seeing this. Brings home my age! Amazing how a well restored driveable unit can knock those years off!

[@stephenmartinez2211]

That's a shame they're just left to rot he needs it passed them on to good homes that will restore them to their natural Glory

[@justintrinchini3371]

Whenever I see abandoned classic cars rotting away somewhere, I can’t help but wonder about the backstory to them. I wonder what memories they gave to people, all the places that car has gone and all the things it’s seen, and all the changes it’s witnessed all the way up until someone decided to park it for good. Or take their last ride in it before they parked it and eventually forgot about it. All of that is left as a mystery if the cars been sitting for long enough.

[@mncalapati415]

If I had Bill Gates type of money. That entire lot of classics would be fully restored

[@spicoly7369]

That's a dam shame all those beautiful classic muscle cars rotting away

[@fredsmith1922]

Every time I see a video of a yard like this, I see people leaving derogatory remarks about the condition of the cars. In all honesty we should be thankful for people like this who managed to save any of this stuff. Having worked in and around auto salvage since 1975, I can say the one thing that almost completely destroyed our hobby was known as "urban renewal" where the cities and then the small towns found out they could get federal and state funding for "cleanup" ie, hiring a building inspector to go around and force people to get rid of unlicensed or "derelict" vehicles. Maybe something simple was wrong with them, or the people didn't have the money to fix them or whatever; well that was declared a derelict vehicle, and it got ticketed and towed at the owners expense, nonsense that continues to this day. And to attempt to save any of these cars by themselves in a group usually brought out the local busybody wining about their "property values" and forcing a person to get rid of them. (Notice the privacy fence in this video...) When I first started, I watched most of the 50's and 60's cars get scrapped. The money was in ticketing and towing. There was literally no place to save them. Anyone complaining about the cars not being sheltered should remember that if you build a structure it'll probably need to be insured . This looks like someone's private collection, back when the cars could be bought cheaply (relative to today). Finally, if someone couldn't build some really cool rides out of what's shown, go buy yourself a trailer queen and be done with it. Great collection! Great video! Thanks! 👍

[@redheadyguy792]

Well i am not an adult or know The owner of this Yard, but sometimes i have nightmares where i can clearly See how these cars got to this yard

[@rockyasteria2815]

I agree with your statement, however if someone went to him with a fair market price and he is a true lover of the muscle car, then one would think he would sale just to see it go back to it's glory

The reason there are people like that is because cities want them to crush the cars and sell the land for development so they wont give them a business licence. The moment they sell a car or part they swoop in and these guys know it.

@mark rylander , damn, son...You've never built a car before, have you? Sometimes it takes as long as it takes. You change jobs, lose jobs, get the ol' ball-and-chain knocked up; life happens and it can get in the way of any project. Sometimes you get it running and drive it that way til you can save and do some more to it, because it's your daily driver. Sometimes you rebuild the same car over and over again. You beginning to feel me now...?

You need to market yourself to the Discovery channel and the new Motor Trend Channel.

You could get paid to find these cars for the networks to bring on their shows for custom restorations

While I love these videos you do it always baffles me that people leave good iron out to rot away to nothing, for no reason other then they don’t want anyone else to have it. You have to admit it’s got to be hard to see. Either way keep doing what you do, gives me faint hope of owning even one old muscle car someday

That's because they say, "I'm going to fix it up." Thirty years later they are still saying that.

[@tigtrager6923]

No, he didn't buy them to restore. He bought them to sit around until he thinks the price is high enough to get rich off it. If he had one or two, possibly three of them, that would make the restoration of one or two story plausible. I remember when people started buying these up in the late 80's because of the direction cars were going in the late 70's and early 80's due to strict government regulations. Then, old skool muscle came back big in the 90's, along with stupid high prices and these were going for high dollar. It peaked around 1996-1997 and hasn't come back like that since. Probably won't either, given the current crop of Challengers, Mustangs, Camaro's, Corvettes, etc. Restored versions of many of these can be had for as little as $30k. This guy missed the Camaro lottery boat by a couple of decades.

We car people see great old cars but the vast majority only see rusty piles of junk.
