Auction Picks! Retired Body Man sells Cadillac sedanette, Ford F100, parts, tools & more relics! 

I didn't show it in the video, but it sold for a lot - close to $300

Rural property, yes, but no crops or critters anywhere close. Owner was a body guy

RV was mega tempting. This sale was close enough to home, we probably would have tried to get it running there and drive it home or pull it on dirt roads with a chain. Someone got a bargain!

@@mr.goodpliers6988 worst come to worse it be a great place to put shelves in and put in your small items. By the way sounded really great on the video. Hopefully you're feeling better.

It was tempting. The Sun tach in the dash alone was probably worth what the whole boat sold for!

I understand this exactly. Very honest and accurate words, Morgan!

Most of them are listed on the internet, or flyers in convenience stores/community bulletin boards

🤔 The algorithm is a mysterious thing. The channels I watch the most, I am not subscribed to. The videos that have more interest and a broader reach get suggested to more people. I would agree that there have been some dismal GM products, just as every brand has had. If any manufacturer wishes to remain in business and keep selling cars, it's in their best interest to improve their offerings and build the best products they can, so I wouldn't say any manufacturer puts out shoddy vehicles intentionally. As far as unsafe vehicles, in the "top ten lists" of them it seems like a pretty even spread between domestic and import nameplates, with each major manufacturer popping up somewhere, and no one brand having a dominant presence. Fortunately, we have come a long way from where we were. Our increasingly litigious society has made manufacturers terrified of product liability and the PR nightmares that go along with them, so hopefully it will be a long time until another Pinto fuel tank or Firestone Wilderness tire debacle. The only "big one" of transportation failures in recent mind wasn't automotive - it was the Boeing 737 Max. I try to show what has the most interest to the broadest group of people, so if some get passed over, it is usually because it's too large a group at a salvage yard to show every last one. I aim to catch the widest range of vehicles possible - just this summer, you'll see I've covered motorcycles, British cars, AMC, Kaiser-Frazer, Studebaker, IHC, Ford, Mopar, and GM. As far as auctions, it's really dependent on what each individual collected. If a field of Mopars came up, I'd be first in line to film it, as in fact did happen in west Texas (see my "Texas Mopar Hoard" video"). Growing up, my dad had a '50 Plymouth, '41 Chevrolet, '59 and '62 Ford Country Sedan station wagons, as well as a Hillman Minx, '62 Falcon and Dodge A100 van. When I was a kid, he had a German Ford 1980 Fiesta, 1966 Fury III, 1970 Valiant, 1966 Valiant, 1978 Dodge van, 1982 Dodge van, and 1988 Dodge Aries. My first car in 1998 was a 1963 Fairlane... and my dad didn't own a GM vehicle from 1978 when he sold the '41 Chevrolet, until he bought a used Pontiac Trans Sport van in 2001! My shop was a Chrysler-Plymouth dealer from 1931-1987, and you can check out the history of it in the American Pickers episode "One Wheel Deal". I have a particular affinity for Forward Look Mopar cars and 1969-73 "fuselage" C body cars, as well as 1974-77 C bodies. I've bought my dad a 1966 Satellite to fix up and help him relive old days, as well as a unique 1962 Lancer wagon from the Texas Mopar Hoard. As time allows, I hope to show the process of reviving them here on the channel. If I seem boring, I try to make the channel more about the cars than about my personality - that's why you seldom ever see my face in the camera
