[@remolaughlin443]

Mooneyes is awesome

[@MikeFrankovich]

@@remolaughlin443 It’s always a must attend show

[@josephcolvin113]

On the East Coast we would give our eye teeth for the cars that West Coast scraps. Thanks Mike ❤

[@MikeFrankovich]

I'm sure there are folks out here who would've loved the chance to save some of these.

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

Let’s go to the yard!!! Yes!

[@MikeFrankovich]

It’s been awhile since the last one.

[@dennisgallear409]

Happy Merry things!

[@MikeFrankovich]

Same to you.

[@kevincruz4045]

The 59 Edsel Corsair HT in pink! What a shame😢

[@MikeFrankovich]

Was in about the same shape as a ‘59 Ranger I restored years ago

[@Mike-Olds-1]

Awesome I love the salvage yard walk videos. Happy Thanksgiving Mike 👍🇺🇸

[@williamlovely450]

grab that packard grill laying in the trunk great kustum piece

[@TrashcanGarage]

I was gonna say. I snagged a 52 grill for my 53 Mayfair 2 door hardtop kustom project. Someone added a tooth to the middle so it looks even better.

[@johncrawford6992]

Thanks for posting this these types of cars are still available

[@MikeFrankovich]

Amazing that stuff like this still gets sent to junkyards

[@user-ic4hn3qx7r]

TR 8 was definitely my fave!

[@denislandry7577]

It’s like a gold mine lol , some good iron in there

[@MikeFrankovich]

Many should have been saved.

[@herbgreen3599]

Good SHOW

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow, I see some Gold!!! 😊

[@MikeFrankovich]

There's so much good stuff here.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@MikeFrankovich Oh yea!!!!

[@rodbennett1133]

good work mike. mine is 57 olds 2 door super 88. they seem to have all gone to the moon!

[@MikeFrankovich]

Not many left. Enjoy yours!

[@jamesparker6017]

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 GREAT video. MORE 👌🏄

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks

[@zyzyking]

Happy Thanksgiving. Cool cars

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks! You too!

[@Chico-nd7sm]

Right on that was cool seeing the old cars in the cemetery. Enjoy your channel. Have a good Thanksgiving.👍

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks

[@williamlovely450]

amazing how many cars are in that junk yard its been 25 years since seeing that many solid cars in yards in the midwest

[@MikeFrankovich]

These came out of back yards and fields recently. Folks should have advertised them.

[@midnightgambler3718]

MG-C had the 6 cylinder GT and roadster Just FYI my daddy is watching with me, he knows his stuff

[@LarryCatuzza]

great as always thanks Mike

[@MikeFrankovich]

No problem. Thanks for watching.

[@JeremyHL]

Happy Thanksgiving! My 64 Thunderbird drives like new.

[@MikeFrankovich]

They're great cars. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@frankm2145]

There isn't anything like them in any junk yard in pa , there all long gone .

[@MikeFrankovich]

It’s hard to believe anything like this still pops up here. Many of these would have sold easily.

[@Ron-io3vu]

Great styling frank them old 50s cars, your lucky to see them we don’t have any places here in uk like that.

[@MikeFrankovich]

There's still some old cars out there in SoCal!

[@Ron-io3vu]

Would love a nice 56 caddy coupe maybe one day😂

[@novabig]

I was hoping to see a '67 Impala SS - the lower rocker molding is impossible to find. The search continues....😊 Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@MikeFrankovich]

You would think that would be reproduced.

[@novabig]

One year only molding but you're correct I would think someone would have by now.

[@user-jp5hs5mk4u]

Good to see older toys in the bone yard!

[@MikeFrankovich]

No late model fodder in this video. Just the classics.

[@user-jp5hs5mk4u]

Absolutely! We have some of these in TN & KY. Fun just to look around!

[@davidrudd9438]

I can't believe it's been two years!

[@MikeFrankovich]

I looked it up and couldn’t believe it. Last one was June 2021.

[@ClydeJesza]

Looks like you found a 1964 to 1966 Sunbeam Alpine... Wish I was nearby to get it. I'm going to guess your on the US West Coast, No Rust LOL Nice Video. Thanks for sharing..

[@MikeFrankovich]

Unfortunately they don't sell complete cars at this yard.

[@ClydeJesza]

Thanks for your reply. Do they have a website online? If so could you add it.. Thank You again..

[@marioherrera3060]

Definitely need to hit the junk yards again

[@MikeFrankovich]

You never know what you'll find.

[@remolaughlin443]

I cant believe what ppl put in boneyards! It could be used for parts or im sure someone would love to restore them

[@WoodyFixit]

Wow that 60 LaSabre flat top! WTF for sure. I know it could have been saved but if its going meet its end, the Northern Bangers in Emmen NL would be a better fate than China. Oh well. At least it's getting picked first! Good stuff.

[@MikeFrankovich]

They’re desirable enough and a sedan could be sourced as a donor.

[@TrashcanGarage]

Nice! Trashcan 🗑️ Approved

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks 😅

[@charlotteandersen5118]

What a cool junckyard. Were is location ?

[@MikeFrankovich]

Ontario, California

[@williamlovely450]

shame to see that 60 buick flat roof junked

[@MikeFrankovich]

Yeah, I've always wanted a '59 or '60 GM flat top.

[@reneherediareyes9447]

Wow Chrysler imperial really the king the Green Hornet in TV

[@MikeFrankovich]

Famous TV custom

[@brandaneakright6082]

A lot of them should’ve been saved before going to the scrap yard, they would’ve been saved here in the mid west. It’s sad that some of these cars get scrapped like this honestly, because some of them are hard as hell to find let alone parts.

[@MikeFrankovich]

People really need to make an effort to sell these before calling the junkyard or donating them.

[@midnightgambler3718]

61 Corvair… the white one

[@MikeFrankovich]

It looked straight and rust free too

[@user-qr7os8xw6h]

That Ford truck is a 53 Ford cuz that's what the grill is in it and it is a short bed not a long bed because I own one

[@tonymorse7178]

Can these be bought as is?(whole)

[@MikeFrankovich]

This yard does not sell complete cars unfortunately

[@assholeextraordinaire3699]

Where is this located I'm by mojave

[@MikeFrankovich]

LKQ Ontario, California

[@robertsandtveit2174]

Packard 47- 50

[@MikeFrankovich]

Not something you see often

[@IEchuckie]

Was that Ecology Auto parts in Ontario? I saw the mountains in the background

[@MikeFrankovich]

Yes it’s the old Ecology. Now LKQ

[@williamlovely450]

get the tilt wheel out of the imperial super rare

[@MikeFrankovich]

Didn't have time to pull parts today. I'm sure some folks with Imperials will find out about the car.

[@GIGUNS-0341]

Is this the pick your part in Sun valley...?

[@MikeFrankovich]

Ontario

[@IEchuckie]

I saw the mountains in the background and thought Ontario. I live in Fontana not far.

[@marcjohnson8371]

Where ?

[@MikeFrankovich]

LKQ Ontario, California

[@persistentbc6889]

Sometimes the owner passes and the living family rids the car various reasons. It’s sad bc they could have went to good homes.

[@MikeFrankovich]

Often they are donated and the charity just hears its a non running old car. Then they call the junkyard.

[@sharkbelair5596]

Where is this junk yard ???

[@MikeFrankovich]

Ontario, California

[@Ron-io3vu]

Sorry I meant Mike.

[@pingpong9913]

What is this wrecking yard called, and whats the location of this place?

[@MikeFrankovich]

LKQ Ontario
