Oklahoma Junkyard Picks: I rescue a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Sedan! Classic project car saved!

[@luminazkidd21]

I was thinking that about the 2dr. Lol how everyone wants the 2drs but I'm.glad you showed some love to a 4dr. I was fondly looking at the skyblue 4 door LTD you have in your yard as my grandma had an orange one!

[@Freedomquest08]

This old Chevy being escorted out of the yard by the forklift, along barbed wire fences and past all of the other cars waiting for their day has the feeling like it's being released from prison.

[@2509498788]

If the car had feelings I could talk back I'm sure it would say the same thing

[@garyblanchard1084]

Or liberated from a concentration camp!!

[@OldCarAlley]

Glad you saved it..... Im a 59 Chevy nut. I have owned a 59 Bel Air 44 years now.... it's my first car. I still drive it. Videos of it on my channel.

[@haffrods7055]

Come on Tim, put a good used small block in it, do the brakes, throw on some new ebay tires ($250), clean the gas tank, bolt on the missing parts, and enjoy it. It would be a great video series. Thanks for taking us along on the tour. I'd like to go out there myself

[@2509498788]

I'd like to see him bring it back to life.

[@haffrods7055]

[@johnp8385]

[@CountryBoyGasGarage]

Awesome Yard! I Love the 59's! I have a old 59 El Camino that is a project. Oh BTW I just saw the American Pickers episode that you are in. Great Stuff! 👍

[@REMBRANTTUBE]

GREAT SAVE!! I LOVE THE 59'S!! I LOVE SEEING 4-DOOR CARS GET SAVED!! REALLY, AT THIS POINT....WE NEED TO SAVE EVERYTHING WE CAN!

[@jackdarbyshire5888]

Remember my dad having one of these and green and we liked using the trunk as a slide, the good old days 👍🥰

[@paulsheehan8185]

the bel air, canada was also called a pontiac laurentian, a chevy body and drivetrains, it wasn't a catalina.

[@garyblanchard1084]

Both Laurentian and Parisienne had Chevrolet drivetrains

[@ericarose1979]

I was born in 1959 and love the automobiles of that era. I know a little old lady who still drives one around at least for 50 years. Amazon car hop trays.

[@2509498788]

I'm sure your audience would like to see it come back to life,,. Great content for sure.. and a great story..

[@TheChoochooboy99]

Save any and all flat tops you can find. Believe it or not these models are actually my dream car. Stylish and classy. They look so good as four doors.

[@oliverw3646]

Congrats on a nice save! It looks super straight and solid.

[@greggabel7238]

Tim, you are doing a good job of saving history

[@michaelanthony888]

Tim, pure genius with the hub puller!!! I am 72 yrs old and remember this car well when many were on the road. I love your videos!!

[@durandjohnson1321]

We had one exactly like it back in '68.. it was pristine condition!

[@marcarpackin2421]

Thank you for being here for us car people Mr. Good pliers. Thank you for your videos.

[@niels-oleknudsen8445]

no complaints just glad you are out the film the god stuff. have a nice day see you next time

[@charlesharnois3684]

I was 9yrs old when they were new! Always liked these cars, glad to see another one being saved, especially a 4 door! Thanks for the posting!

[@keving2371]

Buds pretty good with that fork lift

[@greggabel7238]

Save those 1959 cars of all makes . The generation of the future needs to know what old cars look like

[@slicksnewonenow]

Wow... That old Chrysler coupe is incredible! Looks like a '41 model.

[@brandaneakright6082]

I personally like a lot of the 4 door cars, especially the big cruisers of the 50’s through the 70’s. You don’t see them very often anymore and honestly they’re just as cool in my opinion.

[@tomblomquist8213]

This yard has alot of nice cars to fix up. Love the 59's of all models. I loved that 59 Pontiac you showed at the end it looked nice. Glad you saved another oldie they don't need to be rusting away in junkyards.

[@Anders.W.]

I like the patina on that car . Running and driving is what that car need.

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

The Belle of the Ball! NIIICE catch!!!

[@stevebaker9709]

Oh how I wish you could still go into car junk yards here in england the EU stopped all that .I have restored many cars from scrap yards in the past great fun looking for them and bringing them back to life .your so lucky in the USA to still be able to do this .keep up the good work .oh by the way I like to see them as they were when new 👍👍👍well done

[@tonyfriend7413]

Not much longer though with these Socialist global rats on the March and destroying this once great country.. global warming. Climate change is a very big lie out of the pit of hell.

[@eddiealbritton2462]

Hay you got the same bolt bend I got 👍

[@timhanson2080]

My brother had a 59 Impala 348 3 deuces and a 3 speed on the floor. Beautiful red and white. Nice car. Nice save.👍

[@oliverpetroski4205]

Awesome pick👍 Lots of cool cars.

[@Dave99925]

Love it. Now I want to drive out and explore myself.

[@christophersanders5007]

Now that all the 2-doors have been taken people are starting to snag up all the least rust free 4-doors they can find. It is getting to the point where any old steel will be desirable.

[@burtoncrowell4371]

That's going to make a sweet Ride 4 door hardtop

[@drdjh2003]

Sandlot had one too. Dennis drove one.

[@buckeyejim2989]

That back glass is huge. No blind spots👍 Thanks for sharing

[@tomklinar8848]

Looks good Tim and straight too.

[@dave1956]

I cannot remember the last time I saw a ‘59 Bel Air flat top.

[@tripler3724]

Been married 53 years and our first "date" was in her parents 59 Chevy just like that, blue in color. First AC car I rode in. Our "family car" was a 3/4 ton long bed 56 Ford; way before pickups were cool.

[@johnkranz4004]

Excellent job Saving that Tim

[@randallharris3113]

Love you save this car most don’t collect or want to do anything with four door cars but I like two and four door cars and old trucks a big time in my life we’re these vehicles. Thanks for taking us along to see you getting and saving this car. Your saving history for young generations to witness those vehicles and how they were built. Not like todays cars and trucks.

[@John-jl3ky]

BeFor I got my 73 cutlass. In high school, I had the family 1974 Dodge dart with manual brakes, this was about 1985, had a slant six in it, ran great.

[@skidaddle32]

Love this channel - keep up the great work!!!

[@stevenzeinert5664]

I've been watching your channel for a while. I feel your passion. Your a good life saver 👍🇦🇺😎

[@peterselten500]

I love the cars from 58 59 an 60 are my favourite yrs 4 or 2 doors love both an dont care about brand either . If i had the room an money id have a collection from 55 to the late 70s when they made cars with style class an steel

[@mvmartinson8805]

I enjoy going along on the tour of these old cars; I can name the car makes and production year along with you for the most part. If you would play a guitar along with your commentary you would could be a real country crooner!

[@robertnovotny4588]

You've got a beauti get it restored and take it on a date.love these old classics good one Tim.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

By all means, GO UP ON THE HILL AND FILM! THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO AND FOR THE NEXT ONE AND THE NEXT ONE.....

[@t1259sw]

Being a 59 owner is like being in a cult, they are the true diehards. Great idea on the picture collection of all the 59's from this collection.

[@Docmiller4425]

This car is an amazing find. I am glad that you decided to save it from the junkyard. It was my choice of the ones you showed of all of the 1959s. That is of course because, as I shared before, my dad had one just like this one when I was a little boy. Thanks for sharing this. I wish we could save all of the ones you showed in your previous video, but alas, I am not a rich man, or I would be down to Bud's Salvage in a heartbeat. I am hoping that a lot of people start pulling more of the project cars out of his salvage yard. He has some great ones and some that really do deserve to be restored. Great work on your video series of his salvage yard.

[@urbanurchin5930]

I have the same memory from my childhood except that it was the '59 Pontiac Catalina that my Father had. It was his "work" car that he commuted in while my Mother used our '63 Nova (Chevy II) wagon to do "mom" stuff. He previously had a yellow '53 Chevy as his work vehicle that we, as kids, called "Mustard" and ironically, the Pontiac was a very faded red that we called "Ketchup". Thanks for taking me down memory lane.

[@melissadunagan6596]

He sure does. Ok you rich people get busy and save these cars.

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

After digging the car out of the ground, amazingly it is more rust free than I thought. Looks like the rockers seem good. Floors are not a problem. They are doable for sure. I would rather have something different than the next guy and your 4 door hardtop fits the bill being something most won’t see at a car show! Good pick if my opinion matters! Lol!

[@2509498788]

I hope Tim does a fixer upper series on his channel on this car

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Mark I will say your opinion is bona fide 👍👍👍

[@caitlynjenner7207]

great content

[@marygarner5249]

Always love your videos who couldn't saving old cars 💟💟💟

[@tomcummings655]

we come from different times-I wouldn't spend my time or money on a 4 door,especially one that far gone! I've owned a few,and if you are taller than about 5'5" you will have an ongoing black and blue mark from that damn lower corner of the windshield!!!LOL

[@danterry6328]

Good save! A lot of good cars at Buds

[@fotorabia]

One of my very early childhood memories from 1970s rural Australia..on a farm..an upside down 59 Chevy.....

[@williamdeegan7840]

Your AWESOME DUDE. Another great video. I wish you could have gotten that '59 Pontiac 4door sedan. Damn if I just have about $50 thousand. And a LONG Trailer.

[@TheMilwaukieDan]

It’s been a few years since I kept aware of the collectibility of these cars…. However I think any of the 4 dr Hard Top Chevy’s are rare now and really collectible.

[@beaumontmichaels3575]

"It's yesterday once more"... my 1st memory of connectivness! I was 4. She was green!

[@steveriley1995]

Great job picking out the 59 flat top, I'd say that would be the one I would have picked to. I tend to lean more towards to the big sleds of the late 50's and early 60's but I still like them all. My last build was a 65 buick wildcat 4 door hardtop that turned out sweet with the patina look. I have to agree with some of the other comments to, put it together and drive the wheels off of it. But I also understand that you have to pick and choose on which one's to keep, meaning you have so many choices. Lol. Keep up the great work and I'll see you on the next video.

[@jamesfarris9239]

Tim nothing wrong with a great 4 door! With ya all the way.

[@waregraham8335]

Good score!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Nice feeling you’re about to save one

[@miebrus79]

good clean project

[@greatescape7735]

I had exactly the same year & model!

[@williamlloyd3769]

Epic looking car! This was my neighbors car model when new. Always liked the lines and chrome. Hope it becomes someone’s dream built.

[@davidbrown-bh7it]

Cool find. I saw a couple I want. Somebody loan me some money! Hahaha! I also love 4 doors!

[@petewielsma423]

4 doors are probably more rare than 2 doors nowadays as they were used as parts cars . I like going to a show and seeing something rare or different instead of the usual Corvette, Mustang , Cadillac, Charger , or 2 door favourites etc . Great save I reckon, cheers from Downunder Aussie 🍻🍻

[@OsbornTramain]

No Complaints here on 4 doors, I love all cars! All Styles! I can't think of a car I don't like. I've got a 4 door DeSoto, Galaxie, Nash and a few AMCs....and a Studebaker.....I like my 2 doors too, but as I said....I love them all. Not a snob here.

[@dyer2cycle]

... i can think of a lot of "cars" I don't like....any of the modern "crossover" vehicles....

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Really cool 59 Chevy! I didn't know they made the 4 door hardtop with the Belair model! I guess I assumed they was all flat top Impalas! Great video man✌️

[@garyblanchard1084]

The Bel Air four door hardtop lasted through 1961

[@lyonsculpture6577]

FANASTIC!! i have a 4 door 59 too and i love it!

[@chuckster3629]

Wait until the restorer pops all the chrome off that car and sees the rot underneath.

[@greatescape7735]

Oh my one had 3 individual round rear lights each side

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Looks solid to start with

[@davidhutt-j2n]

Nice save Tim my game had two 1960 biscayne s and one 59 all for doors not flat tops

[@miebrus79]

nice project

[@672egalaxie6]

Hi there. Killin it with all this great content!! thankyou

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Tim! I thought you would have bought the 59 Oldsmobile..I've always had a big interest in vintage trucks, how bout showing some of those from that yard, I did see a few in the previous video...be safe!! God Bless!!

[@morgansword]

Back in the early sixties, I had had a few cars already. The yellow 58 ford four door that shows quite a bit in this video including at the very last was one of my first cars that had come from a estate sale and parked in a garage since 59 early. I tore it up and feel bad about it to this day some of the things I did put it through. It had for a fact that can or could be traced as a car given to a retiring officer so all the high horsepower was in that 352 and it was so dang pretty on the valve covers "Police interceptor" with 11.2 compression heads. I have been told repeatedly that is never happened but it damn well sure did. It almost locked up because the engine wasn't really broken in and with high power compression heads, took a good battery to turn over. I am serious as a heart attack... I should of taken the best care possible of it as it was a actual new car in most sense of the words. Of course its one of very many as I had a bit of money and no one got much for cars back then!!!!

[@carlgruver695]

That old car would look great with a good sand blast some fresh paint etc.

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Chrome looks all there and saveable

[@terrencegiordan2775]

Iowa classic car world love to have that.

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

You should buy that 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix which is highly collectible.

[@darkrose4704]

Ahhh c’mon let’s have a look at some of those 60s Pontiacs! 😂😂😂

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

You got it! I will be back there again soon to show more cars

[@wayofthewordwow7574]

No complaints here man

[@burtoncrowell4371]

Nice thing about Oklahoma the quarters in the bottom of the doors and all that should be good shape even the frame probably just a quick code of some i e s 1500 or some por-15 and Abby like brand new Oklahoma and Texas those are some of the best cars next to California and Arizona

[@corndizzel]

A friend of mine had the same car. Always hit my knee getting out of the thing the way the door was shaped on the inside. Neat car though. Had the sequential blinking tail lights. I think that's what they were called?

[@oliverw3646]

more 4 door cars need to be saved

[@ytwhite5930]

You made an exellent move there,Mr. Goodpliers...'59 Chevies are going up in value by the day...(a while back in one of your videos,a roached 59 convt. sold for$88,000.00!!!) Whether this is for you or you sell it,atleast you saved it from the worst of what could happen...Bully for you!

[@paulsheehan8185]

i didn't know in 1959 you could get a bel air sport sedan, unless thats just a bel air fender.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

I believe it was offered 1958 through 1961. This is definitely a Bel Air with the skinny side moldings and no aluminum lower dash trim.

[@jasonrogers104]

Missed the awesome auction you all went to in the cold last winter for model t and a stuff does buds have any of that?

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

There are a couple late 30s cars and trucks, but nothing older than that

[@JeromeBill7718]

I can tell you've luved in Tulsa by the way you talk.

[@americanrambler4972]

While many consider more door cars as having 2 doors to many, I find a number of 4 door cars actually look better than their 2 door counterparts. It depends a lot on the proportion and shape of the roofline and windows. Also placement of the trim helps a lot. A good example is the 60’s Lincoln continental. The 4 door looks better than the 2 door because of how the glass and roofline fits. A 1967-68 Pontiac 4 door hardtop fastback is a very nice looking car.

[@melissadunagan6596]

Lots of GM 4 door hardtop look good. And may be more raier than 2 door hardtops.

[@dyer2cycle]

..a 4-door hardtop '59-'60 looks better than, not only a '59-'60 4 door sedan(post), but also the '59-'60 2 door sedan(post)..the 4-door hardtop had a low, swanky look that suited the '59-'60 styling well..the sedan(post) cars had a higher roof, taller windshield, and a lot of framing that looked stodgy and contrary to the sleek styling...the same thing hold true for the '55-'57 Chevy, IMHO...

[@charlesatwell6658]

When that was left in the junkyard it was probably only worth whatever parts could be sold, maybe a few hundred bucks! Now it's not super valuable but definitely worth fixing, hope it happens soon!!!!!
