Rarest pick up found in a scrapyard?!? Fargo sweptside found!

[@dr.tiffanylopez5315]

The Woody Wagon took my breath away! Literally! Absolutely amazing... Epic. I am a brand new subscriber and am binge watching to get up to speed (lol, pun intended). Your channel is fantastic!

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks Tiffany :)

[@SwingMan1938]

The American Dodge Sweptsides from 1957-1959 are rare enough (I think only a few thousand were originally built during the 3 year span - MoPar's answer to the Chevy Cameo, pretty much) - the Fargo Sweptsides from 1957-1959 are the rarest of them all. I understand not keeping it (probably made a decent profit on it as well), but at the very least, it was rescued from further rot and neglect. The bed is what makes these trucks so doggone hard to restore. It's, basically, the lower back of a Dodge 2-door station wagon (tailgate and bumper included) slapped onto the back of a truck, so no cannibalizing just any 1958 Dodge for rust repair - especially since the 2-door wagons are practically hen's teeth themselves! Hopefully, it will live on.....

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

I hope so too!

[@rocknrolltouring6243]

So you didnt keep it and do it?

[@rachelmartin3631]

The cars are great but I'll take the sweet kitty. More my price range lol.

[@morgansword]

You may not be "highly knowledgeable" but you are not afraid to get dirty. That speaks well of you. I wish you the best in your attempt to revive the pick up as it is real rare. By leaving "patina" you can avoid some of the hard work and get it to the shape where you can finish or sell and let someone else build their dream Pretty good video.. Go a little slower on the panning when shooting a broad view.

[@drfalcon4102]

so, what has happened to the old Dodge??, errr I mean Fargo,

[@kevinpallen4246]

What's up with that Volvo?

[@CharlieBrown-pb9xn]

that was cool

[@jillpruett4772]

That Oregon tag is PRIOR to the Pacific Wonderland series that the state is now re issuing. I lived in Oregon for 40 years so it really jumped out at me.

[@heidichryst4771]

right beside the head light canaster at 7:48 is a WWII B17 flying fortress fire extinguisher. its brass I think. I had one hated it didnt know what it was. tried to sell it for years. it wouldn't sell. i picked it up in 1969. finally sold it in 2009. right after I sold it I found out what I had I sold it cheap. NOW I really wish I had it back. another stupid me. saw an old WWII flying movie and the plane got shot up. something caught on fire and they pulled out the trusty pump fire extinguisher and squirted out the fire. sort of. like I said stupid me. go back get it you wont be sorry. WWII stuff sells for good money$! Jim BCC Az

[@suzannejensen275]

Isn't amazing how we try to sell something for a long time and we finally sell it then we find out how much it really is worth. I can't tell you how many times I've done that whether I sold it or gave it away I could just kick myself.

[@sonsofthunder915]

The Fargo was a good choice. Dodge's answer to the Chevy Cameo truck. No need to explain yourself here. One can buy repop panels and, of course one can always fabricate new parts. Judging by the comments you must have a new set of viewers. I can recall a few videos ago we had a bunch of nay-Sayers. Oh, matching numbers engine/drive train a huge bonus.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+Danny Boy rough but rare, but the engine looks good and this thing may actually run still!

[@nicolasroque163]

Being u like cars classic check out Coldwater motors in Canada they r on utube this guy has cars from 1940s to 1950s over 💯 cars plus is football cards worth money

[@rickarchambault3287]

Coolest channel ive found in awhile. Awesome stuff

[@frequencyfluxfandango8504]

Good choice with the Fargo. Someone commented that there are even less Fargos' than that...(?) But whatever the figure, there is now (very nearly) one more. They look like DeSoto tailfins. I am so glad to get another look around that yard. Good luck with the resto = )

[@415s30]

A woody has always been on my list, but that adds another dimension to the project. I have a 52' Dodge truck, that sweptside is cool, you do that right with the original engine and maybe you should take it to the big auctions like Monterey. I am in SF and I usually go down a week early and cruise by the fenced in lots full of cars going to the block. How many miles on the odometer? I better look and see if you made another video, this was a year ago.

[@soulsnape26]

I hat truck is so beautiful! I want it! I want one of this really bad but I’m no good with that sort of stuff. I’ve always wanted one since I could remember. I love old trucks. Especially the one you just got. So jealous lolz.

[@Masternater1000]

Just have to wonder what the history is on all that stuff and how it ended up in that yard. I f I were a wealthy guy I would not stay that way long because I would want to buy it all.

[@rohanking4556]

I would love to own a 1958 Dodge Power Giant. Yours probably has a 315 poly. I know of 5 of your truck in a collector's yard in color do. My twin has a 58 power giant and I fell in love with that body style. Good find

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+Rohan King thanks for watching! Keep looking and you’ll find your truck :)

[@seanhaugen2437]

Personally. I love the 80's vehicles. Built to last, and had power galore. Sad to see that Pontiac holding up another vehicle.

[@colerudneski8234]

hey let my now when you go to a neither junkyard if you see a 1987 Chevy s 10 sport 4x4 that's in good shape

[@curtismcquiston3192]

Cool I'm glad to see you where able to get the truck I did not realize it was so rare I new it was not a lot of them built but single digits equals big money even like it sits you got your work cut out for you

[@jorgeoros8589]

nice

[@stude1953]

Nice score on that Studebaker sign Alex! And a good choice on the Fargo. Well any of those others would have been good choices too that you were looking at. Of course if I was with you I would be dragging out that '53 Stude that you showed the last time you went to that junkyard. lol btw Excellent videos and I'm sure you're not done going to that junkyard.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+stude1953 figured you would like the studebaker sigh :)

[@healey100austin]

At 17.43it is a Morris 1000 van,they also did a woody,pickup,convert,and 2 # 4 door sedans.

[@shaunclifton5281]

Fargo is Killer. Hope you are able to get the Fiat woody and the Austin convertible. That nice 70 Cuda probably lasted a day before it found a home.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+Shaun Clifton thanks Shaun! I’d love to buy it all! :)

[@albertaboyz]

Thanks again Alex. I didnt find my holy grail but that hood was a much need part. Amazing number of hard to find parts out there.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+Vern Schafer glad you could come! And now I know what you are looking for too in case I come across other stuff :)

[@jeep2003]

That mower engine you pointed out looked to be a mcculloch engine commonly used on gokarts would be worth picking up if its any good

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+jeep2003 who doesn’t like a go cart?! :)

[@suzannejensen275]

My brothers built a few when we were growing up they were so much fun. They have a few tracks around here now but they have the fancy ones and they are not as much fun as the original ones.

[@zen4realfightman426]

The buick wagon reminds of my dad's old car

[@johnhopkins6658]

Should grab that Pyrene fire extinguisher in the shelf where you found the headlamp shell. .

[@suzannejensen275]

I thought the same thing when I saw that. I wonder if he ever went back and got it. He ended up getting an old one not to long ago.

[@drskull9]

[@johnnydeville5701]

[@blackdog.6398]

[@kerrypitt9789]

I saw one done on Salvage Dawgs. They cut an old 80's model van body in half lengthwise, then had a custom mural painted on it and hung it in a shop that did restoration. Very cool!

You never cease to amaze me of what you come across I seen this video there was a terrible Dodge van camper with the extended roof green too bad I live too far away all right be coming to get it and it's probably gone by now but great video thanks.

[@poochie49]

Another great video. I'd love to restore one of those but don't have the technology or means. One question. Where do you start in restoring it?

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

+poochie49 I actually bought this one as inventory to sell, but have restored many over the years. You start by researching the right vehicle to buy, then save up the cash! :)

[@starrman9061]

We would like to know what you paid for it.

[@todddenio3200]

Just over 4 minutes in there was a red 65-66 Rambler Marlin. Scarce car when new, kind of rare now.

[@oldschool6345]

Haha, you took the advice and looked again. Like I said before I wish it was closer to me. Hope you do ok with it. We all have the dream of finding the jewel in the rough and restoring it back to glory. You can't do them all, but if you can save them from the crusher you're still saving them. So what if you make money along the way. That's part of it too. You need to get as many as you dare to handle out of there. Long as they can be bought of course.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]
