HUGE JUNKYARD In Kansas! | So Many Old Cars & Trucks, You Won't Believe What We Find! JUNKYARD TOUR!

[@davidsantos8206]

Every time I see these salvage yard videos, they make me jealous. Because we have not had yards like this in my area of Massachusetts since the 80's. And I can't tell you how much I miss them. Thanks for sharing

[@IowaClassicCars]

hope you enjoy the videos!

[@kennyrichard2971]

Oh I feel your pain living up here in Maine we have a few left but they are being forced to shut down don’t you just love this new green deal problem is these KZbin channels not realize helping all these organizations That are watching these videos to work with cities towns Metal recyclers for scrap Metal for 💰💰see they don’t like the idea of people saving old classic cars to put back on the road they burn fossil fuel 🙄

This isn’t a junkyard, this is a classic car heaven!

[@joshjablonicky171]

Absolutely love when you do junkyard walks. My uncle was a wrecker an had his own smaller yard an had a blast playing in it as a kid. Pulled a 69 firebird out of it an probably upset a lot of folks but turned it into a clay track race car. Was totally worth it

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks Josh!

[@OldCarAlley]

Ryan, when you see 2V or 4V on Ford air cleaners, it means 2 barrel or 4 Barrel..... not valve. The V stands for "Venturi".

[@IowaClassicCars]

Ooooooooooh, i was always under the impression it meant 2/4 valve. Thanks Howard

[@johnhunter287]

When I was young and worked in a junk yard I remember that some of the older vehicles had the year on the tail light lens cover. It would be in raised molded in print. Used to be a easy way to tell the year at a glance on similar models

[@IowaClassicCars]

Cool story!

[@johnhunter287]

@@IowaClassicCars Try it the next time you see a 40s to mid 70s vehicle

[@gierhead66]

3:45 That's a 1978 King Cobra to be exact. I went to this salvage yard back in 2019. Bought the unique steering wheel center from this car. Pulled parts off a variety of Fords. 10:08 is two Galaxies. 1965 4 door and 1968 2 door. Pulled parts off those too. Spent $170 that day. It was a good day.

[@dylanantalek2422]

Where is the yard at ?

[@thedocisin3204]

When I was young and poor I would frequent a yard very much like this one. It was a bit east of Ottawa KS. In the mid 70's it had a lot of old stuff and plenty of parts to keep my '65 Coronet 500 running. It was an auto part oasis in the middle of cornfields. My lack of education kept me and the Coronet together for quite a while. Then I grew up and took her to the junkyard. Bought a '70 Cuda and drove 1500 miles home to Massachusetts. Looking back I sure liked being poor. Had just enough money for food, apartment, cigarettes, guitar strings and plenty of friends. We all made things work. Now life is so complicated I almost want to buy a Dodge Coronet 500 and hit the road again. This time I'd buy a convertible.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Good luck in your hunt!

[@JazzStrat781]

Love these junkyard videos Ryan 👍 hope you are well, keep up the great work

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks, you too!

[@franklinshouse8719]

Ryan, great junkyard video!! You are probably the last or next to last generation that will able to find old junkyards like this. While you are going through, keep your eyes peeled for old orphan cars, like Kaiser, Frazer, Packard, Studebaker, DeSoto, LaSalle, Nash, and even 50s vintage Cadillacs and Buicks. These are pretty rare and probably worth something to the right buyer. Parts alone might make it worth buying them. Every day, more and more either rust away or go to the crusher.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Absolutely, thats why im documenting these yards before they all disappear

[@dalestewart5670]

Enjoy these walkarounds, used to go back in the day, almost all of them are gone here.believe that Chevy is a 53, 2year body style with 54. Thanks Ryan.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks Dale

[@mexicanspec]

The Invicta was the mid line car. The Wildcat took over that spot. The Electra was the top model.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Yeah i know the electras were top dog, but invicta customs came with buckets and most were fully loaded, id make the argument that was the king car in 60/61. This 4dr has an invicta custom clip, ive learned they never came in a 4dr

[@bobhoward6676]

Your right !!! I can't believe what you found. Who knew there is so much scrap metal all in one place just waiting to go to a recycler for shredding? I mean, who woulda thought?

[@IowaClassicCars]

I bet youre fun at parties

[@michaeltutty1540]

At 2 minutes, the Plymouth is a 72 Satellite in B5 Bright Blue Metallic. The Chevy behind the Plymouth is a 70 Impala Sport Coupe. The tri-five Pontiac is a 57 9:48. The red convertible is a 67 Fairlane 500.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Nice thanks for the info mike

[@billdee9714]

Buick in 1962 It was the LeSabre, InVicta, and top of the line Electra, 225 full size models. The Invicta was in the middle between LeSabre, and electra, of the three models the LeSabre lasted the longest up till 2005.

It's a lot of olds 98 an 88. In that yard that look good to restore.

[@stacyman1285]

I see them because I learn how too drive in one olds 88 two door .

[@chuckcarguy2651]

You like to Plymouth / Chrysler / Dodge suburbans. I found five of them in one salvage yard they were all two door wagons. Little boy and AMC rebel an Oldsmobile Hurst Cutlass 442. And he must have 500 cars at the time. He gave me great prices on everything except for his trucks. But last time I was there at least 70% of the cars were still there. Including a 59 Chevy California black tag it been back there since it was only a couple years old. Probably a blown engine. Down around the Missouri Arkansas border. Unfortunately a family discussion, I'll call it, is keeping them where they're at. They had a second sight nearby. The only thing that had more of is rattlesnakes in the first one had plenty. Plus other sort of wildlife including a panther mountain lion cougar whichever you prefer to call it. That big cat beats a heck out of a junkyard dog! But those two-door Chrysler product wagons were really neat. There is a lot more there too and a lot of them were buildable. I only mentioned this one yard because of the two-door Plymouth wagons. Like to suburban wagons I believe they still have the suburban trim on them. But they were pretty bare Bones from the factory as far as trim just a utility car back in their day . But they would make an interesting build project. They're not allowing anybody back on the property anymore. I've tried to give too much away but these places are still around but unfortunately so far and few in between. Enjoy your video quite a bit

[@mebinglesideil26]

Morning Ryan, Looking at the Buick Invecta 15;20.

[@2001rams]

Low to high started with LeSabre, then Invicta, then the larger wheelbase Electra. Invicta was same size as LeSabre but with much more upscaled interior. Wildcat came out in 1962 to replace Invicta ( just like with Pontiac you had Catalina, Ventura, Star Chief and Bonneville. In 1962 Grand Prix came out to replace the Ventura. Ventura then became an upgrade interior package on the Catalina, no longer a specific model offering). Enjoyed this video, wish I could be there.

[@IowaClassicCars]

yea, i always think the invicta CUSTOM is the highest just because they came with bucket seats (this car isnt a custom, someone put the badge on as they only came in 2 drs) and usually were fully loaded, but yea technically the electra was the top dog

[@NotAGarage]

@16:44 that's a 1976 Firebird. 👍

[@timstrickland4423]

I would love to see a 76 or 77 Pontiac Lemans with wheel skirts. I loved those cars.

I enjoy going to these huge yards. Have you ever checked out John's Muscle Cars or Watts Salvage Yard in Wymore NE ?? If not you would love walking through them !! This was my first video of yours I have watched and keep them coming. If you come across any 75 - 76 Monza Coupes point them out. I have two I need stuff for.

[@SammyVista1972]

Thanks for the tour of this yard Ryan. I was getting a bit worried we would not see any 1959 or 1960-62 Chevrolets. At least there were a few. We had, many years ago, a Canadian version of the 1963 Chevy 11 Nova. It was called an Acadian Invader. Badge engineered for sure, the grille and tailamps and trim were the major body differences. Tough little car but sparten. The 1968 Impala at the start of the tour, those fender tip marker lamps you pointed out are pretty sought after. They would use a clear bulb in them that would compliment the clear lens/amber bulb of the mandated side marker lamp on the the front fender a bit lower down. 1967 and 1968 were the only year the white corner lamps were offered on Impala and, correct me if wrong, were standard on Caprice, Happy Easter, I really enjoy the tours you present. May Easter eggs in the form of 1959 Chevrolets come your way!

[@IowaClassicCars]

im really surprised there werent more, but yea we found a few :D

At least three 4-door 74-76 Gran Torinos in there, copper 8:35, blue 11:10, and green 11:55 which of course the most decent looking one is the one buried the deepest in the dirt, but the blue one looks complete-ish if not wrecked down the right side like the copper one. Still wish I had my white one back, but I need to focus and get some cash together for a '65 Biscayne or Bel Air sedan. At least 3 or 4 pretty whole ones in this video so I might need to see if Mikey wants to let one go if I can't find one closer to SWOK.

Nice to see a '56 Suburban still out there, existing at all. That '59 Biscayne was in Gothic Gold ? Looked like this shade. Also: Ryan and his hood rating bias ;) That lack of good hood left a hard trauma on you for sure. Buick's Invicta came to replace Century, so even with Custom added, it probably still didn't beat Electra 225 on the ladder of models. Being the intermediate model might make it rare by now, as people often jump for top of the line models to restore, while lesser ones rust out. 17:27 - I'd say a '54 - one piece windshield, smaller teeth in grille, oblong turn signals.
