Like most people that have a Junkyard as a hobby, They waited 30 or 40 years to long to decide to sell. Now most way to far gone, lucky to get a few parts off each. I Bet there are 6 - 8 cars as whole that could be Restored, and if Done Right...Thats more money than the Car is worth. He needs to Re-think the Value of rough Parts Cars. Good luck!

Unfortunately, there is nothing but scrap there now. I would drive by places like this 40 years ago looking for parts, but the answer I usually got was "I'm going to do something with them one day". Sad part is, most of those cars are still sitting there completely rusted away. Good intentions, but no real plan to do anything with them. Thanks for the video

Yep, back before the internet, this is just how you fixed older cars. But now ... if I need an axle housing or a door, I check online. No snakes, no ticks, no tetanus, no dodgy propping up of rusty hulks ... and the detail parts like gauges and bezels are either reproduced or can be delivered to your doorstep from parts cars that haven't been rained into for 40 years. A beautiful place but not much left for those of us who do this kind of thing.

Unbelievable. His Dad in not selling anything for 40 years, and then him thinking the cars his father ruined are worth Hundreds of thousands of dollars. Sometimes I believe people holding onto cars are what kept them from being crushed long ago, but most of these cars are almost just as bad off now than if they had been crushed 40 years ago. It's truly sad to see this. He said he would give 6 months to get them all gone, well, think about the time and money it will take just to remove them from the property. It would take multiple months, working 40 hours a week, just to get them all gone. Have to cut down trees, have a rollback, oh, and the new owner would have to have their own place to put them all. Its just not going to happen. What I see happening, is if they truly want them all gone, he will have to give the cars away to a scrap yard if they can justify that the scrap value is higher than the amount of time and effort it will take to clear the property. What a sad headache and nightmare this man's father left his family to have to deal with. I knew a gentleman who had a huge outdoor collection of vehicles in PA, 300-400 cars, but he at least had a huge public auction and sold off everything that his family didnt want to keep before he passed away.

there was a junkyard like this up behind where my wife grew up. Went there once or twice and when you asked about a price they would say "we're not one of those yards with a price list ! You show us what you want and then we can decide on a price" Usually it was way too high. The owner died and his family could not afford the taxes on the land so a developer bought it for dirt cheap and SCRAPPED every vehicle on the property !

Back in the 70's junk yards were where you always went for parts when the parts stores said they could get the part in a week or so, because you needed the car for your job. The junk yard always had the part. There was always a car like yours there and most of them still had parts on them. They were a life saver.

The problem with older cars now is that...parts only has value to the right person. I can't tell you the cars I see driving around that could benefit from a junkyard part here and there. Usually when they get to that , the owner doesn't give a shit anymore and doesn't have the know how to do anything.

​@@MyWillypilly You are so right. My dad died kinda quick back in '19. He had 2 homes one had a really big barn chock full of cars, jeeps all kinds of parts and tools. I could'nt afford to buy the cars off of my sisters share. My job was to sell as much as I could. Just the time posting stuff, I lived 500 miles from this place, time to get there go through stuff throw out junk etc. It was a monumental task for 1 guy. I could'nt get anyone to help me. Anyways i had plenty of prospects contact me. The house is in the most northern part of Michigan's upper peninsula. People would whine about how far it was from them blah blah. Anyways my dads dying wish to me was to clear out as much as I can for me. My sisters could care less how much I got. I have a '24 enclosed car trailer. I made 2 trips getting the things I wanted filling that trailer front to back floor to ceiling and it still looked like I didn't make a dent. Anyways I lost my ass selling things a few cars my dad had he spent many thousands of dollars went for just a few thousand a piece. The money we used for expenses we were trying to get things buttoned up because taxes are extremely expensive there. Covid was eveyones excuse for people to rip me off. This poor guy has a real delema on his hands. Like everyone else here says about a public auction thats the best idea I believe. Hope he makes some money!

It's still like that today at the u pull yards. Car-part also categorized it nice and clean so people can sort by mileage/price and its a full service part removed. Much better system instead of the old days of mucking through a mud pit. Plus the old timers thought they had gold. I remember bidding against a scrapper for a 1995 Caprice police car back in about 2000. Car had a bad trans, he paid $1600 for it. It sat at his "do not touch" cars for 15+ years. I drove by the other day, yard is cleared out, and property is used for semi truck parking.

No way someone is going to pay a million bucks, the contents of this yard have been severely neglected, most barely even parts cars. The owners best chance at getting much of anything is to have an auction. The logistics nightmare, liability and cost to move all of this junk far outweighs what little monetary value of the mere handful of vehicles that may be able to be saved. Another prime example of the "I know what I got" mentality. What a waste!

Ok speaking from experience, we get asked to clean up estates like this all the time. One we had to remove cars from in a week, lots of the cars broke apart when pulled being sunk in the ground. We had an excavator for moving trees and cars, semi truck for moving cars off property and dump truck for small pieces. Only 2 cars lived on, I paid for semi truck, dump truck and excavator for a week and only had $1500 profit left over for a weeks work. Sad by all the cars in this video will get scrapped. A lot could be rat rod parts but some to far for that

I understand attachment to things and legacies but at the same time you need to know when to let go. He waited 30 years to long. Its the shows that people watch and think I’m sitting on gold because they still see the sentimental value and what the once was. But that only goes so far at the end of the day. I tried really hard to buy three Nova’s back when I was younger. Two at the same house and another by itself. 66-65 and a 69. All in great condition. After 15 years past I got a call from the 69 and I ran to it. It was totally rotted out. The old gentleman said I can see the pain in your eyes son. What’s ya thinking. I just said it like it was , sir you waited so long that it’s gone and I seen it when it was still running. I could have done something with it. He agreed and gave it to me. I made a video the whole way from his house to junkyard to the crusher.

I think he's got a better chance at selling those bottles before he does those cars as a whole. I think others have nailed what's gonna happen. He'll pass one day and his family will have it all junked. He's holding onto memories, which are priceless to him. He's just throwing a crazy number out there because he knows no one will give it to him. But, now he can justify that he "tried to save them". Unfortunately, maybe 10% of that is worth anything, while the rest lost complete value/worth over the last 45 years of direct weathering.

No inventory list, much less an estimate of quantity? 200 junk cars w/o engines for $1,000,000= $5k each and need to be dug out and trailered away in 6 months (1+/day) Asking a little much for junk left out to rot/rust away

Yup "million dollar.." is always a great title of videos, and then the comments are only negative pessimism because this video is like a walktour in a worthless graveyard and it's maybe a project for a scrapping business.. And the owner is rich and those have to worry who watched the video..

I look at it from this aspect of old car motoring. How many 4 door cars do you see at your local Cars & Coffee? In this video 90% are 4 doors. Much less that they are so far gone. Like most comments, should have sold 20 years ago.

The other thing people are mentioning, in addition to it all being rusted and too far gone...it's been picked over for decades as a junkyard. So almost every car is missing 25% of it. Makes what little value might be there be almost zero. Sad. Agree that it would have been cool to see it in the 70's.
