Scrap or Save? 1930s-80s Cars & Trucks in Auction Collection go from Abandoned to Running & Driving!

Mr. Goodpliers and Joe look over a collection of vintage cars and trucks that were left in the woods! It's auction day, so time to make some picks and tinker on them! How many will run and drive? More than you might guess!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Mr. good pliers being filmed!

[@bonessixtyone]

That Edsel looks like a real nice car

[@stevelinwood8362]

Nice to see people interested in these old cars! They won't be around much longer!😊

[@roberthatfull3816]

A lot of bargains there fellas you got some great buys 🤘

[@johnmatejcek6448]

Good video

[@Chad-og2kv]

Alot of those 80s square body's had the junk 305 in them

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

💀

[@royearl1094]

yeah i just crushed over 150 80s cars .500 people at auction we had no buyers ..

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Junk is too kind a word for the 305. You're being more generous than necessary with words 😆

[@frozenbits48]

Those farmer folk sure loved their four doors and six cylinders, didn't they?? Some good stuff there. Some, not so good.

[@ericgaj6791]

I enjoy watching the videos of you & joe at the auction to see what you guys buy

[@williamdeegan7840]

Great job on the 2. Glad that wagons not going to be a Derby car . I love the '49 that was in the trailer first.

[@robertparker3172]

Good lord. Someone is going to have a bunch of fun with that DeSoto. That thing is a relic.

[@ernielaw]

I've always admired the Matador coupes made from 1974 to 1978 for their styling and rarity. They remind me of the Marlins from the 1960s which I liked just as much.

[@RpmAuto]

Yeah that's a good one. At least it's going to a good home to be back on the road

[@captainsidneymicrodot8385]

It's corny cool, as were so many amc. I love Rambler Station Wagons. That's weird

[@WoodyFixit]

Great old collection.

[@66skate]

Mopar was well represented. I would have loved to get both of the 46-48 Dodges and several of the Desoto's.

[@royearl1094]

i watched a you tube vid where the guy crushed 260 mint condition desotos . nobody would buy anything but the grills and bumpers to put on other cars .lol

[@johnm.5848]

More American automotive relics have been saved. Even in 2023, they're still being discovered. All the best with the 61 Chevy.

[@lilmike2710]

Seized engines make the best "will it run" vids. So satisfying to see them running again

[@79tazman]

Yeah it's easy to make any engine run but the locked up ones are the best. That's why I like Mortske Repair many of his are locked up and get's them going sometimes but then again some are just too far gone like the 56 Chevy 250 he had it was a rusted hulk too far goon.

[@lilmike2710]

@@79tazman Or when they're locked up on the bottom end. It that's usually easy to ascertain by checking for metal frags in the oil.

[@terryeustice5399]

Very cool video and auction! Thank you for sharing! 💯

[@philipdecatanzaro1822]

These prices certainly won't bankrupt the average person. At other auctions you'd lose money selling restored versions - maybe break even selling parts.

[@maxineferguson9696]

Thanks for the good video again, nice to see Joe setting the fashion level for sun shade protection!

Mr. B. Here ! Many of these vehicles need love , OMG ! I did not think I would see that many cars so complete . Very cool ! 😊

[@levonne766]

Wow! What a sale👍

[@maxineferguson9696]

You really hurt me when you didn't get that 1955 studebaker commander that front bumper would have put you on easy street here in Canada. That car had a radio if it was original also is a hard to find item they only have to look like they work to finish off the dash, most guys have modern fm mounted in the glove box or some other music.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

The guy who bought it is an old Vietnam war veteran. He's had some major health problems and is coasting out the remainder of his life, so I don't really bid him up on cars.

[@hansnordstrom2373]

The ramblers modelyear is 1961

[@solarcitygarage]

There was some really good buys on parts cars. Must not have been many scrappers there. Guess I am going to head west to one of these sales!

[@brendamcdaniel1958]

I used to sleep in the rear package tray (rear window) on the way home when I was a kid of a 61 Chevy Biscain. I was just a little taller than the tail lights. Seems like a long time ago. Thanks for saving the history. Thanks for the video

[@patdesrosiers6423]

Excellent score on the 49 Plymouth for $450. One year ribbed bumpers are very desirable to the lead sled guys and could sell for more than was paid for the car

[@georgedavidson4219]

Mr goodpliers, I just love your auctions and the cars that you find! How do you find most of your auctions?

[@2001rams]

Thought the DeSoto's were all pretty good buys with just the hood ornaments ($100-$200) on the 49-52 cars recovering a good portion of the cost. The 49 Chevy was pretty complete but I liked the 52 DeSoto the best with that near perfect hood ornament and grille (which should bring a good return being a grille many customizers prefer for their Mercury or other car redo). Unlike Pontiac where you had the standard hood ornament or a different optional light up Indian hood ornament, the 50-52 DeSoto's used the same ornament where the standard face insert was metal and you could insert the optional light up face in the very same ornament. If that 42 Plymouth would have been a coupe that would have been pretty high on my list. So few 1942 anything still survives today. Very enjoyable video. Thanks.

[@neshpro6521]

[@johnelliott7375]

That Edsel would be cool to fix up.

[@junkmannythewitch7295]

Some fair deals there! The Swinger was the steal as well as the Type 3 VW's ( most of those parts are not re-popped and bring bank). Thanks for sharing

[@dyer2cycle]

Wow, some of those sold for scrap metal prices..you sure won't get anything around here that is older than 1990's for those prices!

[@markfleming9073]

Great content really nice car's especially the carry and two door Plymouth to be honest to much chrome and nice shapes to dislike many lol even thought people don't like some cars not popular I still feel they need preserving would you be able to give me details of these auctions coming up love to pre view some of them if possible land purchase moving on nicely so all good soon also looking for a hauler to pickup some buys if you know of any

[@JO-ku1uc]

Hey, that brown 77 LTD wagon reminds me of the coroner wagon Jack Klugman drove in the 70-80s TV show, Quincy M.E. The only real difference was the color of the wagon in the show was black. You may be too young to remember that show. Ask your parents. I bet they will. Take care.

[@brianhayes7618]

I had a 61 Biscayne I bought in 1973 for $400 had new paint the original blue new tires and all new brakes. The interior was perfect and was a straight 6 with 3 on the tree. Loved to drive it as it was my very first car purchase at age 15. Wish I had it now back then it was just a.old car and they were everywhere. Enjoyed this video can't believe how cheap old iron goes for in your part of the country. If that sale was here in Florida prices would have been much higher. A collection like that should have been done online for anyone to buy.

[@fjb3544]

And?

[@t1259sw]

Good buy on the VW and the white 2WD Ford pickup. I really like the MR. GOODPLIERS van box, that would be cool. The 51 IH L110 SD (Silver Diamond) is just like my dad's, I thought it went high but good for the seller.

[@paristrout8469]

That orange dodge pickup looks remarkably like the one the GCFCE picked up a few months ago. How clean is that thing? its got front discs, didn't seem to have too much rust. probably a v8, 360? that looks like a steal of a deal.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

It's got some rust spots and dings, but it's a remarkably preserved truck. The guy who has it got it up and running. It is available, if anyone is interested

[@johnelliott7375]

Sad part is I would like to get two or three but I know that it doesn't matter what you want it will be the guy with the deep pocket and the mad guy bidding it up.

[@davidmorse6062]

Would have loved to have that Blue 49 Plymouth business coupe. Wonder if he’d like to double his money?

[@morgansword]

Brent from Halfass Kustoms has done floors in many of the old dodges and plymouths and he made it look so simple. I am sure its not simple but its surely doable... a two door like Joes car should get a floor if its a runner

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

I'm not sure if the engine turns or not. If it's just floors, that's one thing, but when the rockers, floor braces, and other underside sheetmetal is rusty too, it becomes a very big job

[@delgray8523]

Great buys, love Joes hat. Where can I get one ?

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

More than likely he got it on Amazon

[@dyer2cycle]

43:40..somebody didn't do their research on some of these cars before scrawling the year and model on the windshields..the auctioneer clearly knew that wasn't a '62 Studebaker from the way he hesitated..that's a '55...I saw a few others that were clearly not right...

Just a note Schwinn made the Stingray and the Krate was a optioned out version, it had the springer front end with 16 in. Tire and rim, rear shocks made into the sissy bar. And sometimes a rear disc brake ( extremely rare) and a rally stripe with the schwinn logo down the length of the seat. And drum brakes on the front. Thanks and as the GIV says now you know.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Fascinating info... Thanks David!

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

In a lot of ways the Matador was a similar style to the 1973-up midsize GM "Collonade" coupes. Mid 70s cars were a bit boxed in by government standards for rollover, bumpers, etc. When you consider the way the designers were tethered down, it really feels like a successful triumph of design to me. But I realize not every design is going to appeal to everyone
