Finding Project Cars in a Junkyard

I can't believe how many rust free and straight project cars were found in this junkyard. A modern Porsche Roadster catches me off gauge, along with the Mazda RX8 with a 13b still in it.
Do you feel as tho the Ford Probe was an attempt to combat the market with the 240sx?
After coming across a mint BMW E36 sedan in the yard, I feel the need to own one now.. The Nissan Z Z31 is becoming a rarity. Unfortunately this junkyard had many 300zx to pull parts from.
I venture deeper into the yard and stumble across some very interesting itemS...

Thanks for stopping by today 🙌 More Junkyard finds: kzbin.info/aero/PLvRjLBi1aX6c-ByRSvYBqYWaxUZd7R0Ld

[@Comakino]

The beemer wheels look like BBS alloys.

[@jacklzweifach5312]

You're funny dude

[@4pokketwalkerhomebaby153]

I got a 350z for 3500

[@badaboom8520]

It is hard to see all those cars just rotting away cas of one reason or another, always a good thing to keep in mind, although a little sad, "The junk adventures" could name the series after that if you haven't already, good luck with the build Mike

[@PrizzaMike]

I agree man, always sad to see potential thrown away :/

[@izack0128]

Those cars once has a good owner taking care of them and one day it just landed on this landfill kinda makes me wanted to rescue all of them but we know we can't save alot of them though. It just sad too see those cars just rotten...

[@TwoDollarGararge]

They were used abused and thrown out as all cheap cars are especially sports cars and if you've ever purchased a project car you very well know the hardest part of it is fixing the mess the last guy made

[@craigmiller7063]

I can't wait I'm totally excited. Junk yards are usually a $2 classroom. I was told when I was young that a junkyard is a place to learn. It's kinda crazy to see other states that have tons of rust when cars here in Oregon get scrapped because they are unwanted projects.

[@whosjozikolnik]

the junkyard videos are always fun but I just wanted to say that it's great to see Franzy pop up in the vlogs again:) happy for you two!

[@jessesmith6890]

As someone who currently works on trash trucks I love hearing your shock about how big parts on large trucks are. Probably coolest yard yet.

[@PrizzaMike]

I agree! This yard was awesome! Just wait for part 2 tho!

[@CtrlShiftShip]

​@PrizzaMike can you give the name of the yard on the next video, I'd love to go to this one, seems pretty cool!

[@AndyKPOV]

Quick lesson... The E36 that was black was a 318 you don't want it. It's 4 cyl. And it's easier to actually find the 6 cyl... The Mitsubishi diamante is actually a cool little family race car. They had a turbo version and they actually have decent HP stock n/a. Also you missed 3 2j's 😅 also the 4 motion vws typically came big brake.

[@vincentlevesque30]

We are just gonna ignore the fact that the GS has bullet holes on the side?? 😂

[@PrizzaMike]

😅

[@breadboi9321]

It's called weight reduction people!

[@mikekowalewski7692]

That car was a participant of 24 hour ghetto Lemans...

[@OutdoorMackie]

@@PrizzaMike hi

[@natpeterson6414]

i’m scared to see what classic cars that have been left behind. you should definitely keep going to junkyards they’re very interesting to watch.

[@labowskidude]

Your channel is really kicking off and I think its your attitude and chill style. I like that your not out trying to tear up the junkyard but if your ever looking for parts to sell the 1st gen D21 and WD21 parts are getting way expensive. Yes you should put that VG into your work truck

[@shorty______]

I understand dude. The fact that there's no music in your videos it's a whole different mood. Keep this shit up!!!

[@pants2103]

The two door Nissan Sentra looked just like my first car. Those were actually pretty good the ser trim came with sr20 good car definitely brought back some memories seeing one

[@fewspade819]

As a second gen probe owner I can kinda see the resemblance of the 240 in it, especially with the wrap around rear windows. Personally I think it’s a good car by itself, fwd sucks but that puts it in the same class as the Integra and the prelude. Fun underrated car that is still really cheep to buy to this day.

[@felipemarquesdamiao]

Thanks to putting the effort into this videos! It's always nice to see old stuff and I always learn something from your videos! Keep it up bro!!!

[@mybrainmeatshurt]

That 300ZX with the digital dash reminds me of the one I used to own back in the 90s. Nice ride but it constantly needed work and I couldn't keep up with it. The digital tach was more like a bar graph that went horizontal, and it also indicated intake manifold vacuum. The higher the bars went vertically, the more the engine was being worked. It was neat, when it worked.

[@chosenone101]

Thanks for the tour! I love seeing the old cars!

[@rew3809]

Always a great start to the day when mike posts first thing in the morning

[@jdmking4776]

I wish this video just continued on forever. It kept getting more and more interesting. Definitely made my day better ✌️

[@twitchtvtux2120]

1962 to 1952 with the truck and love to see you uploading and bringing us blessed content keep up the good work man wish for the best

[@Elvar]

Alot of my local junk yards are closed down now a days, these videos I really love!

[@p9vg]

I like seeing you get excited about manual cars 😂

[@jaygood87]

Love the junk yard videos.. can't wait to see the rear quarter go on the 240.. Will be paint video before you know it👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@5.9manualzj]

Dangit, now I wanna go to the junkyard again. I'm so excited for the classic section!!

[@sendingit2601]

What a way to start the morning! Mike posting a video with z31's in the thumbnail!

[@WrenFJ]

Thank you for the video, I'm still loving the junkyard adventures! So sad to see the Z31 though, that's my dream car 😭

[@TwoDollarGararge]

A non runner especially an auto is cheap af there is three within 20 minutes of me they all look like given the amount of grime on them sitting for at least 20 years

[@wr1ght939]

8:39 I’m perfectly fine with that! You’ve inspired me to go junkyard hunting!

[@rabbitwidow1252]

seeing these videos makes me want to go the scrapyard s and see how many cars i can save , i love your videos they really keep me occupied and my mind off things

[@joeboggan]

Love watching your vids man, stay safe out there.

[@OryanGoulbourne29]

Love the junk yard content 👌

[@gundamchris1233]

The chrome rx8 wheels are pretty rare and valuable I’d recommend picking them up

[@ItsDemomz_33]

There's a z31 around where I live, and you really have me wanting to go see if I could get it. It would definitely be a fixer-upper, but I would like to save it before it ends up in a junkyard. Amazing video as always crazy to see how far everything has come. Always looking forward to the next one 🤙🤙🤙

[@NAFOARMY]

In the mid 1990s my brother in law was about 19 and had an excel he bought new. I was about 14-15 and drove many place and many times in that excel. It ran like a dream and was getting around 40+ mpg to the gallon.

[@alanpaulick7815]

Thanks for the awesome walk around.

[@dbotanist2079]

Watching this makes me want to do my own build !

[@logangroome4430]

The diamanté was built just down the road from me here in Adelaide australia they are called a Magna here :) thanks for sharing all the cars with us :)

[@Pan0chaThug]

Love the content bro 👌 love these junkyard vids 😎

[@codypetrin1639]

I used to own a 98 5 series like the two you found in this yard. Mine was a manual as well idk how rare it would be considered but it was a cool car. I had a auto del sol as well with almost 400,000 miles, at least the shell did, motor still ran perfect, transmission was good too. Miss that one a lot.

[@vexxx3758]

Dude i love the gages on the 300zx’s so much, as well as the cluster, like you said

[@beamer8907]

love these junkyard videos❤❤

[@Qyy0]

feels like we are firends even tho idky ur vids help with motivation alot thanks mike glad i found ur youtube

[@dubiousf00d]

Another good junkyard vid. Cool to see your lady taggin along in some capacity lol. Definitely looks like more fun then the solo missions.

[@TheRussian3]

I miss my Z! Had one in highschool, but it became a never ending money pit and regrettably I sold it. Years later now that I have a good career, I want another.

[@camranalbert6554]

I love going there this is one of the best yards I go to

[@harrynelson9203]

I knew that was a tanning bed before you climbed in the truck, i have used so many in my life 🤣🤣

[@conversechryslerqueen]

These cars need to be preserved they don't make these anymore. That's just history left to rot away. I hope no Chryslers were there. They deserve to be repaired and treated with love.

[@siamiam]

good yard to walk through , thanks for sharing :D that was a lot of mustangs and f bodies , lot of good parts scattered around . im curious to know if that was a sc300 or 400 and if it was a manual ? can keep a eye out for 2 door rav4s and nerf bars for a crv too ? :D

[@drummerdude476]

Damn I'm watching this in my 4th gen Camaro, I need some of that stuff lol

[@RayquazaKing04]

As a mustang guy myself, its hard to see all those mustangs there, primairally the SN95s (1994-1998 is old, 1999-2004 is new edge). I'd love to have i believe's #21's mag rims, like the rims off of the bullitt car

[@badaboom8520]

Agreed bro, just too many crowds sindrome, jokes aside it is truly a pain to see all those mustangs there

[@jayinmi3706]

There are usually no less than like 10 Mustangs at one of the yards I go to up here in Michigan. Early Ford Probes were on the same platform as the Mazda MX-6.

[@tylerpresley9347]

I used to go to that junk yard with my dad before I moved a few county’s over. It’s crazy to see how much it hasn’t changed in 10 years lmao definitely next time your in Murfreesboro or Tennessee It’d be cool to meet you!

[@seankasion4648]

What's the name of the yard?

[@elijahmaddox8500]

As a 3rd gen firebird owner thank you

[@quazyyyYT]

This was a awesome video💯💯💯

[@craigethorley623]

Worked on the z31s in 1987. Brockbank of Altrincham.

[@francoboris2059]

those bbs on the green bmw 740il ...😍😍 perfect spec for e36

[@ExodusisThere]

love these junkyard videos

[@bhume7535]

Random ATX PC power supply chilling in the seat 9:35 lmao

[@aarongraf5697]

Lots of cool cars in that yard

[@ArtemisStreamsGames]

The focus you saw was an svt as far as i could see, so yes the manifold on it was for a turbo, the turbo was already snatched

[@dusterpl6093]

I can't believe someone scrapped a perfectly good looking 740il, these go for like 10 grand where I live

[@beckaksel8783]

Cool video) Thanks

[@bad74maverick1]

@10:00 Yep had one. 1991 same year as your looking at. Black manual 4 banger 2 door with tan interior. Ignition wire burned in two. Mechanic looked it over thought it was a faulty wire and replaced it. 3 days later car burned to the ground. Got so hot the there was a small pool of aluminum underneath it when they towed it away. The white crown vic @11:24, that's typically caused by sap. it's been sitting in a wooded area and sap has collected on it, and dried with dirt.

[@BlueVibe]

Can't wait to watch this after I finish my homework :) love your videos

[@LocalGovermentHoney]

If you haven’t already go up to Minnesota. Go to French lake it’s a little place out in the middle of no where but the junk yard is massive

[@susanwaltman2607]

Black Porshe convertible was awesome! You walked past a white Geo Metro convertible. I wanted one badly in the 1990s.

[@cgslidez]

Both The sc gs were sad too see I’ve also never seen that Mitsubishi before but what made me even more sad was too see those z31s just sitting there but atleast they have each other 😂 great video can’t wait for PT2 🤟🏻

[@thedavegamer5279]

I would kill to have a old yota truck with a frame as clean as that

[@maximus1720]

[@davidmaggard9403]

That dodge Dakota was a camper pretty neat truck .great video

[@MrMattDat]

It's been a long time since I went on a treasure hunt in a yard. This was fun!

[@runwithit7438]

in Florida they have an aerial mass produced for motorcycles scrapyard everywhere just like cars it’s kind a need to go and see those and see what you can takeoff to build a new one well new to the person building it.

[@Knownworldwide]

Need more boost! I’ve actually never seen lawnmowers or bikes at junkyards here. That’s kinda cool.

[@MfVelos]

So many good parts

[@DrMurdercock]

20:47 Those are the kind of trucks my Grandpa would tell stories of swapping engines in a couple hours

[@brandonfahey8567]

That focus that you said was straight out of 2000 is a 2001 Saleen focus which came stock 5 speed with a 2.0 i4 turbo

[@RJIGGLES]

The last time I saw a Hyundai Excel on the road driving was in the late 90s. The hatch was ultra rare, and the sedans were more common.

[@X_TOXICBULLET_X]

loving these vids... im up in canada so feel ya on the surprise of no rust lol, i wish i could find a parts car for my 88 Chrysler LeBaron hardtop coupe! been hunting for a motor

[@geoff1971]

The Mitsubishi diamante was manufactured in Australia and exported to the US, it was a fantastic car to drive well balanced, excellent fuel economy. In Australia it was also available in a station wagon.

[@evanstewart4285]

5:00 in aus we called them Mitsubishi Veradas and the base model a magna. had a ralliart version too.

[@TannerSmith23]

First video of the day liked before loaded everytime let's goooooo

[@haydnredx]

Z31s are the most underrated Z’s . Love those cars

[@robsan9156]

I'm restoring a z31 300zx turbo like those. Such a shame to see those 2 there. Really rare now

[@goracks69]

Thumbnail takes my back. I helped rebuild 2 Z31 project cars. One was red, the other, white… About 15 years ago, I was 21 and I knew I wanted to get an old rwd JDM car. I ended up with a white na 86 FC RX7. A week later, my best friends lil brother bought a gold 88 FC RX7. About 6 months later, my best friend bought a red na 85 Z31. A week later, his lil brother bought an na 86 white Z31. So 2 z31’s, and 2 FC’s altogether. We spent many, many hours over the next few years rebuilding those cars. Mine was a lemon. I sold mine a year and a half later and bought a Mustang. My best buddy’s lil bro sold his z31 cause he couldn’t support 2 20+ year old project cars while in college. Then my best buddy had a bad accident delivering food. He hit a jaywalker running across the street wearing all black on a dark rainy night. Jaywalker was fine, but my buddy was shaken up and sold his red z31 after that. His lil brother continued building his gold RX7 til he put $10k into it only to have the apex seals blow. He sold it at a HUGE loss after that. Now I have a 14 Fiesta ST, my buddy has an 08 Civic, and his lil brother bought a 17 Elantra.

[@vincentblouin5882]

Great content man!

[@aaron71]

That 6-wheel Dakota was an RV at one point. Be super cool to put a truck bed on it!

[@neonaffliction]

6:08 My favorite BMW, its a 7 series e38, always wanted to get one but no chance.

[@iamSovi3t]

Firebird/camaro taillights are another thing you need to look at- they run between 80-120 PER

[@importmodify]

Z31s are cool cars! Underrated, but I love mine! I have the turbo model, they are fun!

[@x2-mb]

I love watching your videos and i got 5 pieces of merch of yours Love from Switzerland 🇨🇭🔰

[@PrizzaMike]
