Use to have a 1979 Buick Regal G Body ,but it definitely wasn't crusher food like that one ....mine was a rare 2 tone silver/gray model with blackout trim,black & chrome spring loaded grille,Buick hawks on the fenders & a nice red interior, I eventually swapped out the powerplant & electrical system with a 87 Buick GN engine, tranny & all the sub components, it was a fun car that I sold for way more than I put into it & enjoyed it for almost a decade before I sold it ,it's still on the road by its current owners too ...rust free like the way I kept it ,I would buy it back if he ever decides to sell it
For Death-with-dignity,, if I ended up with Terminal disease, His Royal Highness, Prince Adam Bin Alwaleed Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud would want to be either crushed in a vehicle and left inside, or I would go to a Waste-To-Energy plant and pay them for my weight and then let them take me as an article of waste to help generate electricity for the area. Better than wasting my energy that my body generates in some graveyard that space is running out of faster than you can imagine!
Gosh I don't think I've seen a Quest van on the road in years. Those vans are really truly extinct in my neck of the woods. Also the lift operator trying to deal with that roached Capri lmao
Them or the Villagers. I had a 97 Villager in my mid-20s that was a rust bucket, but it got me around. Plus it was in my family since new, with my grandma having it first, followed by my mom.
Getting picture and sound just fine here...fascinating how the side window on the Quest popped out without breaking...and that Regal just refused to give up (that door kept opening again and again)!
I was born in 73 grew up through the 80’s and I love the 80’s and 90’s vehicles! I loved this video but that firebird or trans am was sad to see! I just don’t understand it these were the most sought after vehicles and a lot sit in scrap yards still today that to me is sad! me personally I would rather have a vehicle from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s over any vehicle from 2000-today
Just me or did the Nissan Quest look way too good to be crusher fodder? I know that there's not many people in line to preserve them, but...no visible rust! Could have made some down on their luck family decent transportation...
Ein anderer schrotti hat erzählt alles weg schmeiß ware ,zu teuer Rep,Auto sind zu billig deswegen ist der schrottpreis auch im Keller, Angebote Nachfrage
@@tashalynn29 worst case, swap the engine/transaxle (as a single unit) with another Quest or Mercury Villager (same vehicle) in the yard. I doubt that a car that looks this nice on the outside would have a trashed interior. Especially since it's up north, no sun damage 😉
I'm amazed the way that Capri disintegrated even before it was loaded into the crusher. I guess the bottom of the car sat on the ground so long and water stayed on the bottom to eat the metal away.
@bigchevs1 That & the fact the roof had been cut off of it; looks like it might have been the only thing saveable. It definitely was dust held together by paint.
I had a really nice limited one too ,it was rare ......wish I kept it ,but the current owners still got it 👍 & keep it in good shape, my friend was the original owner for 3 years before he gave it to me ,I had it for over a decade & sold it to another friend who always was bugging me to buy it from me .....I want to buy it back if he decides to sell it
@@daewooparts my dad's car was a unique one...they had a special edition called the "Ranbow Edition" (it had a plastic rainbow with scripted "Rainbow Edition" letters glued into the front grille). How 70's is that? It was a Saffron Firebrand colored car (extra cost), and it was a limited "Limited" car (the Rainbow Edition was a Limited car, with some of the Limited features stripped out, like power windows and power door locks. It had air conditioning, pillow plush seats, a white vinyl top, and the famously good looking Buick wire hubcaps and whitewall tires). I was there when he bought it new off the dealer's lot 😀 Unfortunately, my folks traded it for an '84 T-Bird five years later. That was handed down to me, it was my high school beater. The Essex V6 taught me a lot about car ownership, including replacing my own blown head gaskets in the dorm parking lot at my college 🙄
Unless it was broken or badly bent that steering wheel should have been saved off of the capi remnants...those are worth good $$$ and a harder to find piece nowadays...optional.
Yeah... nah I dunno why I clicked on this. This is disturbing. Looks like doesn't matter whether gore is human or sheet metal, it makes me feel uneasy and slightly nauseous. But it's just downright sad either way. Once they're gone, they're gone.
