Mr. Goodpliers takes a look through a couple abandoned houses with barn find antiques, bicycles, and vintage vehicles. Come along and see Plymouths, a Mercedes 180D, Ford truck, Bronco, Farmall tractors, and more!
A place like this are what my dreams are made of. It's hard to keep one's excitement and adrenaline down seeing all the amazing stuff. So I can't express enough how appreciated it is that you film all this stuff sloooowly so that everything can be seen. You start with 'the whole', the big picture, then slowly cover many details and up close shots and angles, exactly the way I'd view everything if I were personally there. The slow pans, the very up close detail shots that slowly pull away and begin to bring in the context of the surroundings, THIS IS THE WAY THESE THINGS SHOULD BE RECORDED!!! And I can't thank you enough!!!!!
Great video. Your knowledge of automotive history is very good. You’re able to see the value where a lot of people see junk. I’ve grown to really enjoy your walk around videos at these old farmsteads.
Lots of good stuff. The brass bed frame is a good find. And all the bikes. American Pickers would have a field day. You find anything you couldn’t live without.
Thanks for the video, it is always interesting to see this stuff before it gets sorted and cleared. That '50 Plymouth and the Ford look like they are in pretty good condition. I want one of those Lincoln bicycles!
My wife's 185 acre family farm in southern Illinois was just like this place. Old equipment, bikes, beds, vintage farm implements and tons of little stuff hung everywhere. I never wanted to leave. In fact her family offered the entire farm to us for 100K. It had not been farmed for over 20 years back in the 90's when we were there last. We turned it down. After living in Arizona most of my life the thought of living in that humidity and extreme cold and snow. No thanks but it sure was tempting to consider and what a deal that would have been. The farm house was a 3 story log home with a root cellar. There was still home made lye soap stored down there along with some really old canned goods. The farm house had a huge fireplace faced with stones and rocks from the farm. Plus there was a two acre lake with fish in it. My kids loved it. But in order for us to live there the place would need an HVAC system. The only regret I had was loosing all those cars. People in that area were more than happy to give the old stuff away. I would have 185 acres of old cars and equipment by now. But what a way to live.
Actually, Ralph Nader didn't kill the Corvair. Because of him, Chevy decided to make it a couple years longer then planned. The Mustang was the real reason the Corvair sales dropped. The Spyder was the turbo option only from 62-64. Then in 65-66, the Corsa option offered a 140hp (4 carb engine) or the turbo version.
I can see that, definitely. The research I did showed that the sporting models of the Corvair basically ended after 1966. I agree, it's all about marketing against competitors. GM saw the success of the Mustang and moved their eggs to the Camaro's basket as far as performance was concerned.
@@mr.goodpliers6988 That '67 looked to be pretty solid. What rusts out the most on those are the floor pans. But those are reproduced, or depending on the build flat steel works just as well. They do have a good following and are becoming more collectible. Still a very reasonably priced classic car. Hopefully someone saved it.
We had an F-20 on a farm just south of Cedar Point. My dad had a guy in Florence haul it off; I remember him having a dozen of those up on US 77 near the water tower and US 50. That was probably 15 years ago.
Of the vehicles, I'm torn over on which of the following that I would take home if I had the chance, the red Plymouth, the black Ford and the blue Ford pickup. Heck, I'll take all three.
I'm not much of a Mopar guy, even though FCA is my employer, the plymouth in the garage needs to be saved as well as the 49-50 Ford...tried looking at the bicycles, some of those were rare? Where I grew up in Michigan places like this were gone in the 1980's....that 1971 Ford pickup also needs to be saved...my Grandma had one of thos 4 carb corvairs....my Grandpa bought it for my Grandma due to it's ability to go thru the snow...Michigan winters were difficult back then...
I have a 68 mustang with nearly identical brakes and I can say thats thats definitely the situation with those old brakes even if your used to them it can still be very scary sometimes ive always wanted a 70-72 ford f250 like that one
As Far as That House is concerned. I have seen this Song and Dance Enough times to know that they would Probably have a Big Roll Off Delivered and not even sort through any of that persons items. Straight into The roll off and to The Land Fill...VERY,very SAD! But you cannot take any of it with you!
Mr. Badsocket - really enjoy the history you include in your discussion of the cars. It adds a lot to your videos. Keep up the good work!! PS: Please find me a 1949 or 1950 [I'm not picky] Nash Ambassador Airflight Brougham. I would like a survivor, in driveable condition, with less than 100K miles on the clock. Think I'm joking? One of these was found in Portland, Oregon in 2012!

'50 Plymouth Ahhh the days when a man could wear a fedora while driving your car The bicycle is a western Auto,had one back in '60s. Suicide doors are cool
I wish my Ohio 51Ford V8 tudor sedan was in as good of shape as this 50! In fact I kind of wish my car was a 50, The 51 tail lights are to big in my opinion! I will probably put 50 tail lights in it if I ever do anything with it! I don't like front wheel drive computer controlled cars but I would almost take that Taurus just for the reason you said, It's a wagon and they will probably be more collectible than the sedans due to low production value! Looks like it's a solid car to me, the only thing is the lift gate would have to be straightened and the back bumper cover repaired because finding wagon parts might be a problem, The front is the same as the sedan so no problem finding that , The gate and cover wouldn't be a problem for me I was a career body and paint tech and I always got a kick out of repairing panels that were too bad to fix! If I was there I would have been digging through the plates and the old bikes, It looked like all of the cool ones were girls bikes so they aren't worth much, I would be putting the cool parts on the boys frames and making them fit!
What? You've never seen a bathtub full of Nebraska license plates before? Don't get out much, do ya? ;) Damn ... a lot of cool stuff, mixed in with a ton of garbage.
At 27:56. Is that someones psychosis or what? Could someone/anyone explain? A guess would also be welcome. Most are attached with roofing nails or romex staples.
If everything been sold, and that much stuff is left over, I see lots on cash sitting there. Which you should have taken advantage of, I mean all old car parts,whole cars, you could've made a money you and your partner at rustranch !
I hope whoever buys that old '50 Plymouth does not bastardize it by chopping it all up or hot rodding it. As complete as it is it is begging for a full restoration. The same goes for that 40's era Plymouth.
