Relic Class - Buried Alive Derby 2021

[@jamesdennis2058]

Considering how rare Edsels are, I was sad to see so many of them in one derby

[@Cyclone-od7ih]

For everyone sad about it, this is just what derbies used to be. My dad has plenty of stories of old derbies full of mid 50s Bel Airs and such because back then, they were just scrap sedans. Makes you wonder what common derby cars today we'll be sad about in the future.

[@matt2244]

I am thinking crown vic's they're slowly becoming less common.

[@kylehalderman6210]

There aren’t any today. Nothing produced now will be a derby car in future. Sad to say but we’re in the last 30ish years of doing this. Already hard to find cars. 😞

[@ACfairgrounds]

I never seen antique car demolition derby before, it sad but cool at the same time

[@mathewwoods9111]

In 50 short years or so there wont be anything rare anymore. But you are right. My first derby as a kid, my dad was saying the same thing about all the 50's and 60's chevys and fords. Time marches on.

[@Sinfamous81]

The derby was really good but man, it kinda hurt me to see those classics getting destroyed.

[@ryanbenbow-zx2sd]

I feel the same way

[@toodjackson4438]

The more they destroy the more they're worth

[@rickbarger7921]

These are the type cars when I was a kid doing demo Derby at Saugus Speedway in California

[@blinkstabill]

Sooner Derbys are stopped with classic cars the better , total waste of cars or parts . All this old stuff is getting harder and harder to find and idiot destroy them for 5 minutes of fame

[@jessedunn7115]

Any of these cars would've been for sale. Bet you wouldn't have bought any of them. Stop crying unless you would've done something about it.

[@austinklewsaat4482]

Yea I agree gotta have been dropped on they head as infants to do that. Really stupid to wreak thease cars they have survived 70 + years to be trashed for 20 min of fun

[@rickbarger7921]

That was back when you wanted a 64 Lincoln or something with a lot of steel in the front end of the car on an old Lincoln it was like 30" to the front bumper from the motor

[@timmysspeedshop1388]

Oh man poor 1963/64 chrysler new port/new yorker wagon one of my dream cars

[@splittheseam0019]

…sad to see the final fate of being demo derby smashed & trashed that ‘63 or ‘64 New Yorker T&C HT style wagon met …they were a low production rare ChryCorp model when new and that one likely was a very rare survivor to still exist in 2021 being so many of them likely never passed 15 - 20 - 25 year marks as they succumbed to being totaled in auto accidents, being driven hard and poorly / not maintained by indifferent 2nd & 3rd owners until engines, drivetrains & bodies were wore out or rusted out or ended up regardless of condition being gutted out and put in 1970’s, ‘80’s and 90’s demo derbies & destroyed or sent to junkyards to sit in mud & weeds until being crushed for scrap …T&C specific trim & body parts now being very scarce …@ :12 in this vid the New Yorker badging script is seen still in place …after having endured intact for 57 years it is now gone…was surprising to see so many Edsels being demo derby smashed & trashed in this vid …the genuinely most surprising car to be seen in this vid is what was either a ‘59 or ‘60 Continental MKV Limousine or TownCar ( tagged as 7X ) with the Hess & Eisenhardt custom conversion formal roof …these had padded & rounded roofs with a smaller rear window …only 127 in total were made of these 2 models in 1959 and only 170 Limousines & TownCars in total for 1960 model year …how a 61 or 62 years old very very rare factory custom roof body Continental MKV met a fate of ending up in a 2021 demo derby & being intently smashed & trashed defies rare & survivor car preservation common sense …What??? the demo derby driver guy couldn’t find a 1960’s Imperial LeBaron or 64 thru 1966 Imperial Crown Coupe to gut and demo derby & destroy ? …seeing that Continental MKV likely had it’ s interior mindlessly gutted before being mauled & wrecked must be a Blue Ribbon A1 example of some the worst manifested rare survivor car ignorance…

[@stevefarms7494]

That hurts bad to see people still using vary old cars rare cars in derby must be they don't care about old rare classic cars they will smash any car no matter what vary sad. .. I can only dream of having cars like that

[@nickjervis8123]

There's loads of old cars on abandoned farms and in woods. I would say many thousands of them.

[@dilliongargon6605]

Hard hits, with them old tanks

[@nathanielorthmann4008]

This is very hard to watch for a car guy like me.

[@ronaldstrange8981]

Car for sale. Never been raced, rallied, or left in the rain. One very careful lady driver, very low mileage, serviced regularly. Apart from one minor scratch, in first class condition. Apply for test drive: Bill Sykes Motors, Oliver Twist Lane, Chertsey. England, September, 2024.

[@danieljohnson9351]

This sucks! Next time have an all-Toyota Camry derby. There are tons of those nasty things cluttering up our streets and hiways.

[@jeffballsfrank159]

Simple. Don't watch & quit bitchin.

[@toodjackson4438]

They do have compact

[@chillaxinn]

Its bad to see old iron like this get destroyed when some of them could've been restored. Wish there was all-SUV and Crossover derbies in the future. I can't stand all those crap poser SUVs littering the roads these days. I know they can take hard hits because a buddy of mines ran a 2010 Kia Sorento over the summer at a derby and it held up well against the Durangos and Explorers!

[@michaelkrumm1198]

Last 3 cars running were Edsels.

[@seanspangler8301]

Didn't know it was a team show?!

[@jeffballsfrank159]

Right

[@jimmybrewer8289]

Bad to the Bone 🍗 very cool 😎 thank you for the American crash up Derby 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@michaeldelhunty2620]

Duw cat

[@hilyardholler7326]

That 77...... wow wee..... low ridin'

[@richardgodman5377]

I like the older cars they are cool derby cars ok

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Wonder if they sold any of the usable parts after they made them demo cars? I'm guessing there is at least one guy bragging he bought a 492 original mile car off an old lady and making it a demo car.

[@teamunderbuiltracing9340]

Alot of us sell the parts off the car before its derbied. And 95% of us take cars that are to far gone to be put back on the road. Now yes there are guys out there that take super nice cars off the road but most of us take cars that have been sitting in fields and junkyards I just bought a 77 dodge aspen from a junkyard and sold all the trim and bumpers off it to a car that could actually use them

[@lanceweir8145]

I'm surprised the Edsels held up like they did, everybody rags on 'em for no good reason!

[@alexpratt99]

Because it’s light weld most the time anything above stock they fall apart lol

[@nickd.7267]

Now why did they do that. Come on.

[@bewarerandoms4019]

Welp, I'm not so sure what to think of how that ended...

[@brianf663]

At least the sandbagger didn't win. I'll take it lol

[@bewarerandoms4019]

Yeah!

[@jellydiablo8573]

I'm kinda sad to see that a Ventage car demolition derby exists....

[@dibslin2.081]

This wasteful misuse of classic cars should be illegal.

[@bignickenergy723]

A lot of these cars the framerails were probably sitting on the ground in a field and rotted away.

[@mrkill-dj6dh]

Looks like a waste of old cars

[@danfarris135]

I miss the days of burning tires and hot antifreeze smell. Long before it all became a no no. If I squint real hard I can almost teleport back to 1971 again.

[@35RSkyline]

I don't understand why these guys use the front so much

[@alexpratt99]

If you’re here to say it’s sad shuttup lol y’all do know some of these guys literarily build these from fabricated parts derby’s aren’t what they used to be you can buy pretty much any old car online custom shops can literarily fabricate a whole car now for 15-20k

[@brandonlee5051]

This is heartbreaking to a car guy like me , wo hard to watch these classic gems get destroyed...come on...how bout smashing up some shitty imports instead

[@jeffballsfrank159]

Right. Old iron lot of people don't have the money to restore though so I say smash em' up. Derby's have been in my family since the early 70's & still goin strong today. Many great friendships were made it's like a huge family such an awesome experience. You do it once & it's in your blood always will be plus watching it get passed on through the generations is great to see. So I say way to go boyz hell of a run, great show, keep it rollin , keep the sport alive, awesome entertainment. Keep on keepin on smashin em' up!!!

[@DustonEllis24]

Why did they call the #77 out

[@All4HimRacingVideos]

Timed out I believe

[@danfarris135]

Sandbagging

[@jillregal4532]

That guy in the wagon got a beautiful no brakes door crushing by that solid also no brakes black beauty don’t get much more square than that 💥🥴🥴😷🤮🤮🥵 1 hr .afterwards

[@Oldironfarming]

These were daily driving cars and a point in history as some may say just like the 80s and newer classes and like the midsize now days stop crying there are millions or cars made every year

[@vince1638]

I was born and raised on Destruction derby. The old timers then would have been embarrassed to have 'first aid' workers inches away from them during a race. Those guys were studs . I don't know what this is.....

[@calejackson8072]

At least the go getter got the win

[@hellrazorofficial9178]

Last three are blind!!!!!!!!!

[@mathewwoods9111]

The Edsel's shouldn't have held up like that. One of the biggest mistakes Ford ever produced. Most definitely beefed up

[@wreckandraceify]

Just because it was a "mistake" as you say doesn't mean they are not good in the derby world. Full frame leaf spring cars.

[@mathewwoods9111]

Not a patch on euro bangers

[@timhueble1864]

Who cares

[@teamunderbuiltracing9340]

Well no shit this isnt euro theres a fine line between euro banger RACING and american/canadian demolition derbies. Our competitions are to see who can build the best car and aurvive till the end and show who can drive. Euro your racing a circle completing laps but still trying to take each other out
