Old classic vehicles found off the cliffs of Ojai California.

[@sillywabbit10]

Hi Me again the "old" car you found could be a 39-40 Buick 8 Sedan with a split window Looking at the frame you can see the hinges on the driver's side passenger door were to the right side and the latch would have been on the left. The small side windows are also a dead giveaway. You're welcome. 😉

[@reverserockettv007]

You know a lot about cars!!

[@googleusergp]

I agree with others, that car at about 28:00 in is a Buick Skyhawk or one of the "H" body variants. That casting number comes back to a 231 CID Buick V6 engine.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks for the info!

[@SEDGE2024]

Ohh yes! the Buick Skyhawk! I was close thinking it looked like a Chevy Monza with that one piece of rear window trim and the hatch bent off to the side.

[@charliehayward6356]

That first pair of cars looks like a 1935-38 large GM (4 door) sedan (Chevy, Olds, etc. all offered straight 8s) and a 1954 Mercury. The Merc might be a two-door which would make it more interesting to car people.... The casting number on that intake manifold later in the video is from a 71 to 73 Buick V8 motor. The last car looks like it has a late 30s to early 40s style bumper.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks for the info!

[@tomm1109]

I would say its a Buick because they used overhead valve engines in the 30s. It was their selling point. Other cars would still valves in the block visible. That said, someone took the head and carried it back out of there!

[@JoeBob1955]

Car lying on top of the straight eight appears to be a 1952-54 Ford. Straight eight was an overhead valve rather than a flathead, so likely a Buick.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks for the info!

[@bigguy1960]

The car with the V6 is most likely a Buick Skyhawk (Buick version of the Chevy Monza), late 1970's.

[@mgre1986]

Pontiac and Packard were the last to have inline 8

[@CityKitty99]

Great video, I once hiked to those cars and up the road there is a fresh wreck that is a Chevy Aveo

[@reverserockettv007]

I am going to try and return this weekend to do a final sweep 🧹 of the canyon!

[@markcollins5026]

Man, I collect old bottles, I was yelling at my screen keep those old bottles !

[@charliehayward6356]

Hubcap appears to be from a pre-war car approx '38-42. The Art Deco script is a big clue. Appears to be a dog-dish type pre-dating baby moon style hubcap.

[@Erik-ms9wt]

Its funny how you're hiking down a dangerous cliff all alone with no safety gear but you're only afraid of getting stuck in LA traffic. I've never experienced California traffic but it must be pretty bad.

[@spidermight8054]

Doesn’t get worse. What’s terrible is that you are at the mercy of those around you. It truly SUCKS!

[@gatto9390]

Great video beautiful scenery. Looking forward to the next one.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks!

[@davidperry4738]

The two cars that were smashed together are most likely a 1937 Buick Sedan, and a 1952 Ford Tudor.

[@jimmiebrown5014]

That lice car there looks like a little Monza they were made by Chevrolet in the '70s and '80s

[@sillywabbit10]

Funny you said Monza that is what I thought it was, but I did some research and found the story involving the Audi R8 which happens to have a similar back side window as a Monza but it had a V10 motor.

[@lethrbear32]

​@@sillywabbit10 I thought that back window on the 6 cyl looked like it belongs to a Datsun 280 Z.

[@dougtodd305]

I assume youve found a 55 Chevy and a 41-46 Buick straight eight, i think the v6 vehicle is a Chevy monza , the pick up is a 56-59 Gm ,not much of these left so my best guess

[@reverserockettv007]

I appreciate your comment! I had a fun time down there!

[@markcollins5026]

Man. looks like the two older car's were stripped before going off the cliff !

[@K4IG3R]

oh wow my partner and I drive by this all the time..I never would have guessed these were here!! He (native to the area) said that his friend's that do Search & Rescue around here found one of the cars filled with various narcotics and tons of money in a suitcase that had been sitting for 5-10 years! Thank you for exploring! :DDD

[@SoCalSlaughter]

I live in Ventura, and ride up the 33 all the time. Almost every turn up there has a car or 2 over the edge. Half way up the road going to Pine Mountain club camping area, there is a van with a caper trailer down the side.

[@reverserockettv007]

I will try to find it!! Thanks for the info!!

[@sillywabbit10]

I think I unsolved the mystery of the "lone" car you found, it made me sick to my stomach when I found out what it was. According to records in 2019 two men suffered major injuries when the 56-year-old driver lost control of his Audi R8 and went 150 ft over the cliff side, The R8 fits the description and probably looked like a pinto after taking that abuse tumbling down the hill. Idk if you are familiar with R8s but they have V10 motors. A beautiful-looking car when they haven't been totaled. Goes to show you no matter what type of car or how expensive a car is when they go down a cliff they all look like a FORD "Found Off Road Destroyed". Drive safe stay low and avoid the radar.

[@reverserockettv007]

I believe it’s a car from the 70s?

[@lisalarsen5835]

Villanova Rd across from the prep school is Johnny Depps house. He has a tree growing out of an old car and a fence made of license plates

[@tomcamp0226]

That house is actually owned by Jerry Bruckheimer... the director of Pirates of the Caribbean.

[@joebob4943]

No it's not.

Just around the corner (where you parked the car) on that high straight with a large steep canyon. That is the part that obsessed me.

[@reverserockettv007]

🤔

[@PantalonesGrandes-px1io]

@reverserockettv007 I have been staring at that part many times and found more and more cars. But the image that I am getting lateley lacks detail, so I can't see them anymore. I mentioned it before. I am sure I have seen an old pick up on the slope and a few more cars hanging, and lower on the bottom about 6 cars. I returned to Google Earth but I just don't see them anymore. I think it is the image quality. I remember I even measured the detour canyon walk from below. 34°31'43"N 119°14'57"W Nice adventure by the way you posted.

[@reverserockettv007]

Thanks! I am trying to find a day this weekend to look through that entire canyon!

The hubcap that you found is for a 1937 Oldsmobile.

[@BultacoTom]

First object is the firewall of a pick up truck or car , the rest of the cab or body appears to be buried. Do they get mudslides on those hillsides ?

[@Ro6entX]

Yeah quite a bit. I don’t live in the area but been on that road several times.

[@sillywabbit10]

Most of Southern California is a mudslide, I live in the southern end of the state and if the mountains aren't sliding the cliffs on the beach are collapsing. Any fires burn up the terrain exposing the dirt to the rains next are flash floods and the mudslides go hand in hand.

[@reverserockettv007]

Yes I seen on the news about slides in that area!

It's weird piecing things together in your mind on what happened to them. I noticed a clue, the doors pry'd open or taken off, is either help or recovery. It would be easy for a motor or belongings to fall out tumbling.
