We Bought An Abandoned Farm Full Of Antique Cars!!! Part 1 of 3

[@timothyp7331]

I could swear I saw an old grayish 70/71 Buick GS 2dr with chrome slat grill....that has been my DREAM CAR since I was 15! But I am 44 now and spend all my time and money on my other passion, we adopted 4 kids and do emergency foster care! I will get the car when I am retired!!! LOL. Thanks for sharing all those hidden gems! Take care!

[@ronaldmiller2740]

HI SILAS- when I was a kid we lived right next to a junk yard boy did we have fun we even got some cars going again a battery and gas and spark plug wires we were 6-7 years old and drove the cars around then park them . But any ways enjoy your gold mine I wish I could do what your doing but IM 60 yrs. old I love my 1978 Buick skylark your skylarks are older I like the style have fun I like your u-tube LA.CA.

[@kitcatsmom]

Nice to see a young man appreciate the history of those cars.

[@repetemyname842]

Back when you could tell what make and model a car was when it was still a half mile away. Even at night, the headlights or taillights told you all you needed to know. As a teenager spotting the Dodge Diplomat lights were highly important since thats what the State cops were running at the time. Great, great collection you are one lucky guy.

[@russbonk1372]

I've been part of discoveries and cleanups like this before. They are a TON of work! Very important to scrutinize EVERY piece you find for value....value historically, monetarily, personally....take your time!! First one I ever did was back in 70's....we scrapped most. Breaks my heart thinking back on THAT one!

[@youdontknowme9118]

Kansas here when I was a kid I'd walk in the woods and you stumble on a pit find toys, bottles and cars . Some time you find a car or two pushed over a river bank to keep it from washing out.

[@Spennyman10]

Thanks for sharing. I'd love to just walk around and look.

[@CamaroChic]

If you enjoy classic cars, go check out the young guy at Carolina Custom Classics!! Have a wonderful day!

[@davidpancerev9658]

5:55..both 1965 Buicks. Should snatch them up !

[@johnhaines2299]

Your idea for an aquarium is a good one. Your kids would enjoy fishes.

[@lasalleman]

Lot of great machines. Just waiting for a restorer.

[@ardtessa]

WOW nice buy ! I'd happily live on such property ! I like your idea of wall art too. Cheers, Ard

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I love repurposing old stuff rather than seeing it get scrapped.

[@coby7914]

​@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch it blows my mind how much work you and your Father take on! 🌵🐔 Can you use old barn boards in your fireplace?

[@raptor700dad7]

That 62 Chevy panel truck is rare , street rodders would love that !

[@CrustyRustysRestoration]

That blue IH grain truckis beautiful! And all the other IHs had me drooling! So many solid projects here!

[@corefreeman5804]

Great adventure! Down home fun...you got lots of valuable scrap..thanks.

[@mack_mcmillan]

Neat coming back and watching older videos and seeing how much you've grown as a creator, etc.

[@ryand.8176]

Lots of awesome! The Blackhawk item is a roll around cabinet for autobody port a power equipment, 1940’s ish. I have one and use it in my shop, the cabinet any how.

[@curtissmith2679]

Back in 76 I bought a 58 Delray, 2 door for 300 dollars. Best car l ever owned. Wish I still had it. It was unique with the impala trim I added to it, from a junkyard

[@arnoldhillbillygrizzlyputm1493]

Sounds like ya better buy this one to save it an re live tje good times

[@greyjay9202]

Those early Corvairs are very popular for restorers, as well as for parting out. Ralph Nader made his bones by attacking GM for the Corvair swing axles, but he never went after VW for using the same design. I never did like Nader. Self righteous, and self interested. Not a car guy at all. That's a fascinating collection you found. I love those early '60's Dodge pickups. A handsome truck.

[@gvet47]

You have a LOT of work ahead of you!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

We’re actually getting pretty close to done now. All the cars and tractors are gone, just loading up the scrap steel now

[@gvet47]

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I thought it could have just been dangerous to walk through and not know what you could step on. I use to see places like that as a kid living in Iowa.

[@carlosa8639]

What a guy... you inspire us Kansinians everyday. One man’s junk is Silas’ treasure.

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Absolutely

[@stanwooddave9758]

FYI "BLACKHAWK" was a manufacture (Rated No.#:-1, in my opinion) for "AUTOBODY Equipment." I did autobody repairs for 25 years. Still using my 1.5 ton BLACKHAWK floor-jack, purchased circa 1970. I think what you were showing (@ 15:48 of this video) might be a tube-bender, i.e., exhaust bender.

[@river4837]

Love your appreciation for things.

[@danterry6328]

You have a lot of hidden gold there. If you have road frontage that’s where move some of those cars. Be like the front line at a dealership. Very cool. Good luck.

[@bradleyroberts6637]

Skylarks are the poor mans Chevelle. They are becoming more popular lately. Thanks for the videos

[@johnconnell1424]

Love those old places and cars lots of cool history

[@jerryjenkins9494]

God bless you and family==I really love what you do with all these encounters.

[@maxpayne2574]

There were tons of places like that here in the midwest during the 1970s-80s in the 1990s most of them were bought up by big farms. All the cars were crushed and the places bulldozed to make cropland.

[@henryquattlebaum4389]

Where is this place I see some I would to build back to life

[@kennethscofield4565]

Must have cost a pretty penny, definitley a cool collection though, look forward to seeing the rest!!

[@christopheronyx8049]

Man! :D Your videos are VERY addictive. All of them are honest and humble... and each one is VERY different but no-less entertaining! Please keep up the great work.

[@captainmorgan1107]

0:44 BC International, only made for 3 years from '59-'61. Rare truck to see these days and that one looks to be in decent shape. I hope that one gets saved!

[@michaelguinn5736]

That complete International truck is a late 1930's "D" model...fairly rare truck...

[@kapekodbob]

ohhh, you are gonna have so much fun !!!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

It’s been a ton of work but we’re about done

[@joesmith4222]

And 💰

[@dh2360]

1960 Dodges are Gold!

[@87mini]

The nailheads are still popular with hotrodders and rat rodders, so don't scrap them until you are sure there aren't any buyers! Any engine with an unusual look is fair game. Also check any GM trucks for 290 straight sixes. Man, I wish I could be there!

[@donaldstewart8342]

292 straight 6

[@davidturnbole4395]

I would LOVE that 46-48 Ford Coupe!!!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

It’s a cool car

[@ericlakota6512]

Love to old skylarks they where great looking cars that black hawk badge is realy cool id save all emblems and badges off all the recycled cars some of that trim and crome is worth its weight

[@wildbill5670]

8:37 I like that big Fury. Wonder if she has a 440 under the hood. Bet its a 318 or 383.

[@rickwaldren3633]

Dosent matter wild bill 440 or not it's a pollution moter no horse power..if you want a 440 try a 1968 the best one ever made we had one in 68 in a new Yorker it was clocked for 150 Buried it twice on the 401

[@rickwaldren3633]

When that fury was made the 383 4 barrel was long gone

[@stealthexpressvan8475]

Did the vehicles etc. add to or subtract from the value of the property?

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Great find! 😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Thanks!

[@wildbill5670]

My guess is just about every one of those have the floors rotted out of them. Settled into that soft moist/wet ground assures that.

[@rickwaldren3633]

Ya maybe but a floors nothing if it's a collectable

[@rickwaldren3633]

The dodge trucks a 66

[@rickwaldren3633]

Theres a 89 dodge there looks real.cleanthere a tough truck

[@rickwaldren3633]

Look st that a shit asaki

[@rickwaldren3633]

It's a re run saw it 6 months ago

[@leongraham54]

The Black Hawk is a Porta Power Station , to press off pullets ,bushings ,install U joints. I just sold one in my Auction. I think it was from late thirties or early fourtys.

[@midnight4109]

Some of the Corvairs make good projects being simple cars and there are Buicks that are probable restorable by the right person.

[@morgansword]

If it is what I think it is, the blackhawk metal deal in the brush at the last part of video is a frame straightener and they locked down to rails in the floor and then the hydraulic arm would reach out and then the air over hydraulic would bend it back. It has several little items that worked in connection to help with the bend. They were way before the cheaper versions of frame straighteners. Oh I can see myself driving the 46 or 7 ford sedan as well right there at the end with it clean and a mexican blanket over the front seat... I do believe that those had a back seat as well. You may find it odd but I would put that ford body on a buick skylark frame with buick running gear. I did a forty ford tudor on to a 64 wildcat frame and it was absolutely the best thing I have ever built. Very happy to see a person who has insight enough to save our forgotten treasures

[@JenFromNY14]

Oh and I would love to see that old wood stove by that barn!

[@paulpalmtree9295]

At 2:46 into this particular video, Yes indeed the Dodge 2-Door looks very cool. The last time that I had seen a Dodge like that, was way back in 1975 / 76 . A guy down the street from my house, had parked on his driveway a 1960 Dodge Coronet 4-Door it looked beautiful, but from that day to today, I haven’t seen another one.

[@americanpatriot2422]

Great find.

[@ThomasAlcock-yw3lu]

U doing a great job with ur videos. Great places

[@snakebait5118]

It appears that a lot of those vehicles are salvageable and you could make some money selling them to someone who's into restoration. Especially the two door models. Thanks for the cool video!

[@davidjenkins1958]

That old Dodge is a 1960, not too many around.

[@FenzoMac]

I like your videos these car and truck discovery, recovery and scrapping are fun

[@chuckcole988]

Feels good to hear you say you will not crush the old cars no matter the condition!!

[@roychristianson6069]

love 64 Fords even if they are Custom 500 4 doors. car looked fairly solid. I think the every day cars of the era should be saved, not just the hardtops and convertibles.

[@neilschipper3741]

You're lucky to get a hold of a great fine like that! F y i... look at the tail lights or the Park lights and you will see the year of the car. Older cars up to the mid-to-late forties tail lights we're glass. Sold to 1948 Plymouth tail lights got a hundred bucks. Best of luck with this new Endeavor of yours.

[@scottm-nc9451]

What a treasure trove I worked along side of dad ( R.i.p ..i miss you so much ❤) doing restoration and resto mods there's a lot of potential even if it looks to fare gone.

[@rayst.pierre4499]

A lot of parts! Looks like many of them could be salvaged. Chrome and stainless trim,windows,body panels,tail lights,window frames and on and on

[@thekingsilverado9004]

YES THERE IS TON OF WEALTH SITTING IN THEM THERE TREES

[@Wayne1952]

I grew up in F-town 1952 till 1970 Those cars were on the road at that time I had 2 Corvairs, That one you have might have been mine ..LOL Check the title if you have them....

The skylark you opened the door on looks like an rare sun coupe I would look into it if I were you

As a senior a lot of these cars were on the road. He liked Buick cars.

Treasure island? Great to see many of the car's saved, just bet much restoration needed..

[@73buickman]

Love the skylark too

[@chrisackerley1842]

You talked about loading hay into a barn in the old days. I highly recommend a video you can find on KZbin that is a converted 16mm movie of haying in the Humboldt River Valley of Northern Nevada in the early 1950's. It's only around 5 minutes long, but it's totally worth watching.

[@Romantyk_Zagrebelski]

It is great collection!

Hello!

[@dannyblack3814]

Got yourself a lot of good rebuilds

[@leeroyexcavator9149]

I knew of a place just like that where I live and they finally scrapped them all out about 2 yrs ago. Would loved to have walked thru them all and seen what they all were. They hauled out several semi loads of them. I still know of a place where an old man has alot of 60 and 70s trucks from 1/2 ton to 2ton trucks just all grown up in bushes. Went there the other day. The think nest about them is he just bought them and parked them in the bushes most still would run.

[@johnceloveless9094]

You need to contact Derek from Vice Grip Garage. You can find him on KZbin. He does amazing restorations of older vehicles

[@joesmith4222]

Did you contact Jay Leno? He has buyers. The 58 Chevy Del Rey was my first car in 71. I paid $35 for it and it ran fine.

[@bluesharp59]

Very cool and a thumbs up liked.

[@stonylawncottagepipe4429]

Live that vintage International...wish it was a pick-up...

[@csterett]

I would think that many of these would be valuable for parts. There are people who restore/preserve old cars and would love to get the parts. Some of those are pretty rare.

[@Qce-i6d]

Cuba is in need of part for old cars. They often have to mod them to run off used cooking oil. See if you guys can sell parts to the people of Cuba to help them out, and so these awesome vintage cars dont go to the smasher!

[@paulgrimm6850]

What a massive clean up

[@ryanheisey7719]

That 59 60ish dodge Seneca is extremely rare

[@TheChoochooboy99]

It’s definitely a 1960 Seneca. I love it. And you’re right, they are super rare.

Exploring is education too. Curiosity with. Liberty. 🌄🌅😍💛💗

[@henktulp4400]

I totally agree with your point that you waste too much time selling bits of these classics one by one for ten bucks each.....on the other hand I think you as well agree that some parts are worth salvaging....would be an idea to give classic car traders and owners a week,or maybe just a couple of days,to salvage what they can and or want at discount price...if it attracts enough people it can stil bring in enough money to be interesting....you could even consider selling per kilo;I buy from my scrapmetal neighbour for 1.5 times the price he gets for it when it is recycled....I don’t waste his time,I am happy with my purchase and he makes a bit extra!!

[@larryrivers2752]

That old barn wood is probably worth as much as the cars you're going to scrap, with today's prices of lumber!

[@thesmallwoodlot433]

I think that dodge is a 66, I had a 70, and would love another one in a crew cab!

[@bronzesnake7004]

Bitter sweet! So many awesome cars, and it's a damn shame someone "loved" them to death! Why do people do this, these cars could have been rescued and on the road today, but the majority of these awesome rides are rotting back into nature and no good to anyone outside of great memories of bygone days when designers knew how to create works of art of wheels! Thanks for sharing brother! Jack ~'()'~ Canada Manly!

[@TOM-op2cp]

I think the majority of us do it. We can't be bothered with minutiae and don't want to think of our mortality. Any other views?

[@qwer123211]

Go through each one and look for money. Could be several silver coins in those vehicles, especially in the back seats and under the driver's seat. GL

[@joesmith4222]

The first thing I'd do when I got a new used car, pull out the back seat.

[@wallyrossow3141]

If you look closely at the taillight lense, the year is stamped in them. Beware though because many times car makers used the same lenses for a couple of years. This method will get you in the ballpark of the vehicle’s year of manufacture😎
