YARD FULL of OLD CAR DREAMS! Multiple Rows of Classic Cars in THIS Salvage Yard! (Junkyard Tour)

Today we take a tour of a public junkyard that is rows upon rows of old cars and trucks, most of which are fairly rust free & could be fixed up or good parts cars. I have known about this yard for about 4 years, and have wanted to buy the cars mentioned in this video ever since. I finally had the opportunity to tour the yard again, and do some filming as well. Hope you all enjoy the salvage yard tour and all the cars that still exist.
thanks for watching!

[@randymorton9526]

Man , your not that old , but the knowledge you have of the cars from history is outstanding . Really impressed with your passion . Keep it up .

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man

[@scottbiddle3967]

Right when I saw his face at the end of the show I thought the same thing.

[@danmurphy7713]

Thanks for the trip to the yard Ryan! I'm 61 and used to love going to junk yards. We don't have yards around here like this anymore! I'm a Cadillac lover myself but love all old iron. It's nice to see younger guys interested in the old cars.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@kanadianbacon7733]

Hi Ryan...amazing yard & Video... Question: *"How much for the Turquoise '75 Monte Carlo?¡"* Thanks!¡

[@kanadianbacon7733]

...how much for the Monte @38:25 ?(! Thanks, Cheers!¡

[@jimrutherford6926]

The car you said was an import in a 1934 Chrysler Airflow, very rare! Like your video's!

[@billdavis1730]

Another great walk-around Ryan! The "foreign looking" car in the Mopar section at the 16:00 mark is a 1934 Desoto Airflow! Very controversial advanced design for Chrysler and Desoto that sold poorly but had many engineering innovations. The AMC Gremlin around the 42:00-ish minute mark had the "X" package option. AMC offered several trim package options such as the "X" and a "Levi's" edition. The X was a sporty package with bodyside stripes, slotted wheel, badging, sports steering wheel, and upgraded bucket seats, plus a few more niceties. The 304ci V-8 was an option for all Gremlins, even the sporty X which came standard with the 232 ci 6. If that one had a V8, it was rare!

[@OldCarAlley]

Yeah, of all the cars in that yard, that Airflow is the one worth grabbing. Their ultra rare!

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks for the time stamps!

[@bozodog428]

Lots of good project cars . That 60 Buick wagon was rare back in 60!

[@IowaClassicCars]

yep its the only one i have ever seen

[@raymondkunkel9615]

Yes my dad had a 60 buick invicta wagon same color in 1965 .

[@buqwik525]

Loved your tour through the bone yard of old cars. I could do all day long. Thanx...

[@RobertJernigan-zg8tq]

So many cars that could be brought back, I'd be going crazy there. Good luck with your resto projects can't wait to see them.

[@lynnmcmullen3157]

So many with original paint, hard to believe those were junked.that 2 door wagon just looks so cool like it is. Think I'd upgrade the motor and suspension and call it good. One reminded me of when I was a teenager an old man had an Oldsmobile dynamo. Beautiful car, it's the only one iv ever seen

[@johnm.5848]

Here in my state of Massachusetts, people would pay decent money for cars that are fairly solid even 4drs and would even pay to have them em shipped here. I know a guy who did just that when he bought a car online in Montana and had it shipped to his shop in Southern New Hampshire. It was an early full size 60s Oldsmobile 4dr. He was happy that it was it in good shape with minimum rust.

[@frk4musl]

Can't believe you saw my high school dream car - Pontiac T37! From what I've read, Pontiac used the Tempest model with T-37 identification to fall under Pontiac Tempest insurance rates, which were much lower than a GTO. Thanks, Ryan. Your salvage yard tours are always great!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks!!

[@tomcat630]

T-37 was the base model, replaced Tempest trim. The GT-37 option package was the "budget performance model" not the base T-37 [non-GT], which came with a Chevy I6 standard.

[@frk4musl]

@@tomcat630 Thanks!

[@kennyrichard2971]

I think Le Mans was somewhere in between the T37 GTO also

[@steveg2509]

Wish you could have included dealing on your 5 cars.

[@eddym5532]

Great variety of cars that can be restored.

[@IowaClassicCars]

oh for sure

[@danlaur7973]

A nice junk yard that's not all picked over, there are some really nice cars there for sure!

[@josephcrispell7975]

Love the junk yard videos brings back memories of my dad and I walking around them

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks for watching!

[@LANESxNOWONLYx]

One of the coolest salvage yards ever presented on KZbin! Quite expansive with a fair representation of Ford's, GM's, Chrysler's, & a variety of miscellaneous makes & models. Immensely enjoyed the tour of the yard & thank you! Find your passion for 1959 & 1960 full size GM cars (-Pontiac) to be fascinating. My two years of passion for full size GM's are 1967 & 1968. A point aside, my Dad had a 59' Pontiac he used to drag race many decades ago. Thought it was a decent looking car, of course, IMHO. Guess Pontiac is not for everybody.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@LovelyAbyssinianCat-ye6bd]

I miss not seeing the moters but i respect the man

[@donaldhalls2189]

Too many awesome old rigs, most of them aren't even seen here in Australia, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@williamdeegan7840]

HOLY CRAP. At 16:10 ,that was either a DeSoto or a Chrysler AIRFLOW. Very Rare car only made a few years. I know it's not your up of tea but... Anyway, I hope someone saves that. Still had the steel Artillery wheels on it. Wow.

[@IowaClassicCars]

im always willing to learn!

[@SammyVista1972]

Hey Ryan! Thanks for the tour, about 1/3 through watching! Love the 1959 coral Belair! A Flat Top too! You gotta save her! The 1959 Buick looks interesting as well, that car should have been Christine in the movie, they look so angry. The car just after the 16- minute mark is an Air Flow Chrysler or DeSoto dare I say, I am kinda sure. A real Art Deco style vehicle that was way ahead in design for its time. The public was not ready for them yet unfortunately. Time to keep watching! take care

[@IowaClassicCars]

glad you enjoyed!

[@ContinuousRefinement]

That Airflow at 16:10 is the most desirable car featured in the video...

[@garybrinker4522]

58 Ranchero was my favorite 😎

[@dombutler7685]

Thanks Ryan, I really hoped I would see what you got from this junkyard! Buick wagon was super cool, even though i'm not much of a fan of '60 Buicks! You gotta get that Belair flattop and I really hope you also drove another 200 miles north to bug ol' Mortske!!

[@IowaClassicCars]

hopefully i can get some bought

[@robertzastrow9878]

Please show more pickup trucks. I really enjoy your show but please show more of the old pickups. Keep up the good work .

[@dennisbrown2571]

Loved the gremlin and the 60s oldsmobiles.

[@doopedspud6536]

love them old Buicks 46 caddie what i would want is a 1960s jeep .like on M.A.S.H 4077 I think the x on the Grimlen meant a V8 engine.

[@melmcclure3710]

Love the 57 olds wagon as well as the 58 Buick wagon. I wonder how many pounds of chrome were on those things lol.

[@leestimson12]

The 57 chevy 2 dr wagon @ 6:10 might be a glass sedan delivery for government use. Tom on Barn Find Hunter had one on one of his episodes. The thing that caught my eye was the tailgate. Supposedly these glass deliverys had a one piece tailgate unlike the station wagon upper and lower two piece tailgates.

[@iamacarnut]

Thank you for the tour..and trip back in time...its my field of dreams..

[@IowaClassicCars]

field of rusty dreams!

[@davevanwhalen2693]

Thank you for the tour that was pretty cool, I've been a big fan of junkyard since I was a small kid. Keep up the great work.

[@spikefurman7636]

Great walk around! Had me drooling the whole time. Love the all the '61 Chevy's and the 2 Buick's you picked out. Feel free to grab me one of those 61's!! Thanks for your time and great videos

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@DoggydogDog-uo5ve]

You should pull that Airflow. Rare car.

[@garybrinker4522]

I like the mid 50s Ford Ranchwagon 😎

[@SouthDakotaTT]

Driven past here at least 1000 times. Cool to see up close. So many people asking what the name of it is 😂

[@robertvance1873]

Thank you Ryan.

[@phillipdean9879]

Wow what a huge yard! Could spend quite a few hours walking thru there! 🇦🇺🍺🍺

[@gardayofer1869]

Hope the 59 Sunliners with donor cars end up in Sweden where they will be appreciated. Looking forward to your next upload!!!!❤

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks 😊

[@kellydavis1242]

Wow there are a lot of vehicles I would love to buy in this yard, what a find!!

AIR FLOW. Very advanced for its day. Fairly rare. Good find.

[@IowaClassicCars]

[@someguyover736]

My favorite is the Mercury 2 door wagon... i would love to bring that one back to life..

[@junkyarddawgfixit8970]

The 65 chevys are elegant and a shape/style you look at all day, need more coverage, great video and keep rolling.......

[@runzelstilzchen8392]

The Buick at min. 23.30 ca.... Wow...! What a car! 😳

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Ryan Lots of good projects

[@nathandodge6555]

Could you also film some 70’s Cadillacs as well? I’d really like to see those more often, and I know you do Chevy impalas but maybe some newer Cadillacs too?

[@nickelliott1174]

That 59 is loooong! 😁

[@saturnsongs]

That camper at the end of the video is known as a GREAT DALE CAR. There were about 65 of them built on various full size car chassis. That thing is very desirable to a lot of people. I wish I lived closer so I could save it.

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Wow there's a h*** of a lot of good cars there that you can fix well I wouldn't mind being there have a great day my friend😊😊😊😊

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes that a junkyard for sure Peace out

[@robby062]

Wow! At 18:18 that’s a Checker!

[@motorfreaknew]

Hi Ryan great video! at 22.18 there are two Fiat 1100! incredible!

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks for that time stamp

[@tomblomquist8213]

Love that red Buick Wagon it was awesome an i would love to have it.

[@paulp5775]

Great video Ryan. I could spend days (maybe in Summer) walking around there. The scrap metal dealers have made short work of any old car yards around my area. Only modern stuff left now.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks Paul

[@pauldeschamps8965]

Hell of a yard

[@jefferywarshawsky2263]

Love all station wagons

[@markchandler1130]

T-37 replaced the Tempest as Pontiac’s low line A body line.

[@ronvan1362]

Great video Ryan. Hope you kept your feet warm.

[@drrick8839]

Enjoyed your video. Thanks!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks for watching!

[@excitationofstereocilia2103]

I would consider this an incredible yard and you have excellent taste friend❤!!!!!

[@dynomitegliatti7811]

Ryan ty for showing us all the old cars,just for your info the 2 dr mercury was a lincoln town coupe 77 or 78 great luxury hot rod lol

[@cojoneful]

Great video body thanks & have a good one…

[@javierdenardo2607]

The glass on the 1959 Buick wagon was intact

[@melgoy2094]

39 or 40 Model 60S caddi. Had a 38 and a 40. Top of the line

[@IowaClassicCars]

Sweet!

[@1981aic]

16:10 that’s a Chrysler Airflow!

[@66skate]

That's what I thought it is.

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks buddy

[@amishguy54]

the green caddy four door is a 39 or 40 model 60 special at 12.14 not a lot left and very much worth saving .this was gm 's idea of a short chassis town car ,it shared many components with chevy in later years my 62 60 special was on the chevy frame they are Very collectable and you rarely lose money on them

[@maryduley6960]

The Ranch Wagon caught my eye

[@williamcole464]

Probably a 35, or 36, Very rare, and a high dollar car .

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks

[@Scott-ly2nk]

That 59 chevy was what you call a flat top

[@michealfigueroa6325]

In near 70 years the 59 BelAir is only the second one that I have ever seen; the first was in 58 or 59 as part of a parade in my home town TY 4sharing

[@cambrian7119]

The one that you thought was foreign in the Mopar row, is a 34 Chrysler airflow. Rare as he's teeth.

[@roger1johansson]

Hi buddy! Thanks for the virtual tour Awesome! I feel bad seeing the 57 Caddys, seems that nobody wants them You should make som money on that VW bus you passed, the prices on those here in Sweden are insane 🤠👍

[@epmalervrksted1726]

Wonderful place, thanks for showing us. I think that it is a 1934 Chrysler Airflow at 16 minutes. Yours Mads from Denmark

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks Mads

[@fredwhite1341]

Now that's a true junk yard

[@IowaClassicCars]

lot of good stuff here

[@courtneymoyer1637]

I like the 66 Oldsmobile dynamic 88 the red car that's my favorite.

[@user-zz1dy7uq2b]

have some love for the paniacs brother they're still history as well

[@bennyhelgeson401]

The car you thought may be imported I believe is Chrysler Airflow. A friend of mine hot rodded one with Hemi and received Street Rod of year in MN.

[@darrenwolfe9091]

I absolutely love late 50’s GM. That 60 Buick wagon looks like a good car. I think the 59 Buicks are a far better body style than the 60 but oddly enough I like the dash on a 60 that’s my opinion. I’m surprised to hear you say that the 59 Pontiacs don’t do anything for you. I love them. I hope to see a video of you loading some of them cars up. Thanks for all the great old car content. I think the T-37 was the bottom of the barrel. Roadkill got one running in a older episode. The Medalist is a Canadian model I think which is a lower or higher model than the Monarch.

[@31847448]

Hey. Is there Any difference between a 59 and a 60 Buick? I don’t remember any visible differences and I don’t see a difference looking at old photos. The body, roof , metal, glass , greenhouse looks identical to me .

[@rajcam80]

T-37 is a base model Lemans. I have a 71 T-37 as well. Mine is unique it has a GT option. Which makes it a GT-37. I am looking for a good deck lid, front bumper parking lights for my car.

[@IowaClassicCars]

oh thats cool!

[@rupertbaskerville]

A little painful watching from the UK and seeing so many amazing potential projects just sitting there!

[@heaveemetal3223]

That 60 Buick wagon is sweet That’s only the 4th one I’ve ever seen Owned one for a long time

[@IowaClassicCars]

Im trying to acquire it

[@epmalervrksted1726]

18,56. I am back again. It is a GT37, very rare muscle car. Yours Mads.

[@billclay832]

Great video! Loved the 1958 Mercury BIG M wagon. I know you’re a GM guy but that Mercury has to be saved! If I lived closer...

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks man

[@pmscalisi]

Lol my uncle had a DeSoto. Huge vehicle!

[@IowaClassicCars]

Very !

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Boy that 59 Chevy El Camino would be a beautiful truck to rebuild I'm looking for one once I get back to Arizona where they don't rust you have a great day and I enjoy your films and you put it out thank you😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤

[@IowaClassicCars]

i didnt see a 59 elco in here :D

[@edwinbonnelljr1587]

Yeah there was a El Camino there but it was in pretty bad shape that's what I'm looking for a 59 with a rap window I'll find one of them You got an El Camino in your garage

[@danswartwood4580]

My dad had a 61 Dodge in the early sixties, the small one u showed

[@biancahusers9239]

Great content I love all the cars Here in the netherlands We dont have places like that here I wish we had Thanks for showing Greetings from holland

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks!

[@paulpantle3011]

Lots of really cool cars. That 66 bel air or biscayne two door sedan next to the 59 Chevy @24:24 is kind of a rare find. Would love to find one.

[@martinbeneteau309]

Great tour of this junk yard. I think the coral '59 would be a great buy for you.

[@IowaClassicCars]

thanks Martin

[@4speed3pedals]

The Cadillac is a 1940 Fleetwood. If the 57 and 59 Ford confuses you, just remember that in 1958 just about all full sized cars produced in America had 4 headlights. '57 pretty much was the last year of the 2 sealed beams. So, the Fords in question are 1959. The car you thought was an import is the Chrysler Airflow made from 1934 to 1937. The Pontiac Model J was named for John DeLorean, the man the refined the design of the Grand Prix for '69.

[@LovelyAbyssinianCat-ye6bd]

I believe that one car you couldn't identify was a old mercury maybe

[@markbrookes6557]

The Grand Prix Model J meant it was a base trim model.

[@alexgerrits349]

31:21... The orange F250 flare side is cool, but right after it, the 70 Camper truck is rare as hell... YES, that came from Ford with the camper ON it.

[@bradlind8501]

I know where that salvage yard is that's a real nice people that own it

[@kc0lif]

i like that red buick wagon.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Me too its a cool one

[@leestimson12]

Ok, I just looked at it again and I saw hinges at the bottom so it is a true station wagon. Opps.

[@trucker0317]

On the MOPAR ROW, at 16:00 that car is a 1934 Plymouth or Desoto airflow. The chrysler airflow did'nt have the gills on the side like this one has, dodges most popular version of the AIRFLOW was a truck. The T in T37 stood for TEMPEST to pontiac. The Model J of the Pontiac Grand Prix was an entry level model of the car.

[@IowaClassicCars]

Thanks!

[@robertvance1873]

Impala fastback very nice

[@scottbiddle3967]

There are 447....? No 448 now comments so I am sure you know the answer to your question about the electronic eye. Anyway that eye is an automatic dimmer switch. Car coming from another direction. If you have high beams on. It dims the lights to low beams . Love your show keep up the great work.
