MUSCLE CARS Stuck in the WOODS Since 1972!

[@HotRodHoarder]

Alright guys, what did I miss or mess up in this video? There were SO MANY cars...it was hard to keep up and mention all the cool stuff.

You covered some mopars, so I’m happy. Love these videos.

Only thing that I saw that I knew and you were not sure about was it was a 67 mustang coupe. I would love to see some 67 or 68 fastbacks! Thanks for showing us by the way. I grew up with an auto wrecking yard. Loved it!

[@mattskustomkreations]

This video makes me happy and sad at the same time.

Yes, definitely a bittersweet experience. Bunch of cool stuff, but they're all pretty much trapped in there.

[@brokeassgarage209]

Totally agree

[@camb9696]

Me being a duster owner and lover seeing those dusters in the junkyard especially the super solid 70 or 71 hit me right in the heart

[@mrnobody6573]

The best time to go to a yard like this is in the dead of winter after the leaves fall off the trees & the snakes & bees are hibernating but just before the snow flies. You can see stuff you can`t see in the warm months.

Yeah I definitely planned this at the wrong time. I'll probably wait a little bit to go back.

[@HotRodHoarder]

Yes sir, I think it's great that they provide limited access to the place. There were a couple guys there buying parts while I was there, and it sounds like they're pretty regular customers.

[@davidsantos8206]

Wow! That place is an absolute gold mine. I have never seen a salvage yard with so many cool cars. Brought back lots of fond memories. I would be like a kid in a candy store there. A spoiled kid, at that. 3 hours would not be enough time, for me to enjoy all of that eye candy. Thanks for the video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yes, exactly! I always have this bittersweet feeling at an old school junkyard. Thinking about how these cars could've been saved, but also appreciating the history.

[@seanmurphy8687]

These places are getting harder and harder to find with access. They just crushed hundreds of old iron in an old limited access junkyard outside a small town in south eastern Colorado. Fortunately i was able to visit it many times when i was younger. But all gone now. Enjoy them while they last.

[@71fxsuperglide6]

Just found this channel c/o Hemmings. Very cool, and good narration. Although there are definitely some 'diamonds in the rough' nestled in those woods, you would need an SH-3 Sea King to get them out. Crazy.

Big fan of the junkyard ad junkyard adventure. 👌🏻🇺🇲

[@HotRodHoarder]

It was fun, but we were a little worried about snakes. A shaded mountainside with so much ground cover is where copperheads like to hang out.

[@mattskustomkreations]

8:02. That body style of Thunderbird’s first year was 1967 and didn’t change much for the next 3 years. We had one one that looked like this when I was a kid. It has the Landau style roof option. You can see the remnants of a sweeping S shape that starts at the back top of the back door. There used to be a chrome S shaped trim piece (called a landau bar) with a badge in the center of it. The doors are suicide style, in that the back doors open “backwards”. Our particular car actually had alligator skin pattern on the vinyl roof from the factory. The backseats of these cars actually curved in the corners. Ours was a fully loaded dealer demo with all kinds of electronic goodies and a 429 thunderjet. Wild cars!

[@HotRodHoarder]

Very cool! I thought Lincoln at first because of the suicide rear doors, but totally forgot about the 4 door Thunderbirds. Definitely crazy cars...this particular one was pretty bad, but had TONS of usable parts.

[@mattskustomkreations]

@@HotRodHoarder Thanks! I have some fun memories of that T-bird because that was the first car I grew up with. This one that you found was missing the driver’s door armrest but if it would have been a loaded model like ours was just the armrest alone looked like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise with all the buttons on it! In 1977 my dad bought a brand new motor trend car of the year a Chevy Caprice classic. When my sister and I sat in it for the first time he said “well how do you like it?” I said, “ it’s OK dad but the back doors are broken.” I was so used to having the suicide doors I had thought THAT was the norm!! Lol

[@timothymaiden1345]

Wow.... Is all i can say !!! This spot is absolutely amazing and i look forward to seeing more videos from here. Id love to get my hands on a old mustang 2. Idk y but i love them . as well as the ol chevy luv trucks. Thanks again for walk thrue time

[@HotRodHoarder]

Yeah, I was pretty worried about snakes. I probably should've made this trip in the winter time. This is pretty much the perfect conditions and location for copperheads. And that would not be a fun day at the junkyard.

4:05 Mustang spotter tip: it’s a ‘67 - based on the one year only twin “juicer/strainer” side scoops on the rear quarter panel. ‘68’s just had a single, smooth indentation. Also, ‘68s have gov’t mandated side marker lights.

[@HotRodHoarder]

Great tip! Thank you for that...always struggled with early Mustangs.

@@HotRodHoarder Glad to help. The side marker lights are the best way to tell ‘68 & ‘67 Cougars apart too.

[@barberjeff67]

At 7:56, that's a 67 or 68 Thunderbird. They had the suicide doors on the 4 door version

[@DanEBoyd]

My Ma's brother had a '67 Mustang exactly like the one @4:06. 200 and a three speed, AM radio with FM converter mounted under-dash, via a crude wooden slide mechanism which my Grandpa and him made, to slide it down and 'out of sight.' Never mind that looking in the car you immediately saw the wood, which made you look closer enough to see the FM converter. That car was from Pittsburgh or Philadelphia and at least eight years old when he got it, so it was a rusty son of a gun. And he kept it for at least ten years! I was still really young when I watched him learn that his '67 door handle lever and window crank wouldn't just bolt/screw onto his '68 replacement passenger door... I thought that was stupid on Ford's part at the time, but nonetheless became a Ford guy... I think he ended up swapping the whole door guts! '69 door guts, or at least the window portion, are different from '70 too... Those damned trees though - that yellow-gold Nova. I HATE seeing a tree do that to a car. I guess that's a case where the tree really did jump out in front of the car, or to its side as it were. That '67 looks like it might've/could've been a RS or maybe SS 350 - the 396 would've had a blacked out tail light panel. That Comet was sunk in the ground halfway up its front wheel bearing cap - and that cap was still shining like a '57 Chevy bumper!!!!
