Amazing to see two Isuzu Impulses crushed at the same time. There weren't that many Isuzu Impulses sold anywhere in the country, with or without Handling by Lotus!
I was glad to see they spent a little extra time on that Mustang II. That thing was an ungodly travesty, a truly unmitigated PoS. I really enjoyed when they rocked the crusher back to left for some extra crunching of that blight on Mustang history. Too bad there were two Isuzu Impulse’s sitting under that Mustang II, they didn’t deserve the ignominy of such an ending.
I had a 1998 Cutlass, same as the Malibu. Bought used lasted me 4 years driving between OK and WV. When it was time for me to move overseas, sold it to my brother. He ran that thing into the ground after roughly 10 years! Over 400K on it before he basically gave it away.
As previously said I don't they would as most shown to have either serious rust issues or seized transmission and brakes. Most look beyond the point of rescue and the majority of usable stuff has either been removed or picked by visitors
Sometime could you possibly show us around the yard. As I am a brit I am curious as to how American yards are set out and run. Also any possibility of showing how the crusher is controlled
Glad you got your $400 scrap. Impulses are next to impossible to find. Someone would have saved or used some parts. The second one looked great. Way to waste a bunch of valuable shit.
Two reasons. Those probably didn't have a title and fanboys are waaay too obsessed with having the steering wheel on the wrong side they don't give a crap about the locals and they end up whining because they're all gone. Sad reality
It was a mediocre performing car that was designed to look like a cutting edge sports car. Isuzu designed the original Ace of Clubs show car as a styling exercise, and pretty much put the show car into production as-is when people were impressed by it.
People need to understand that these cars are usually picked clean of useful parts, the scrap yard probably tried selling it for a while and thus it ended up being put to the crusher.
Tell me that people are still looking for Isuzu Impulse parts ( aside from the two wierdos who preserved one for the pictures in the Wikipedia article?) 😂
@@brentboswell1294 there are huge car clubs in Asia that are building 70s and 80s Japanese cars for the show circuit as well as daily drivers. Vintage Japanese cars even in poor condition are worth alot. That blue example would probably fetch 10-12k US to a Japanese buyer. A Honda S2000 stock sold for just under 60k US in Thailand.
I like a lot your videos... It's possible for you to make car crushing videos also with inflated tires?... I like to hear the air hissing out from the tires.
@@guy5828 who said anything about the Impulse? I was referring to the Pinto-based Mustang II. Not only is it a poor imposter of the original but it was the luxury oriented Ghia model. BTW Isuzu Impulses were not very good vehicles. If they were, they would have held their resale value better (which they didn't). They belonged to the category of vehicles that looked really fast, and were marketed as sporty vehicles, but in reality were mediocre performers. As I recall, the drivetrain was pretty much a stock I-Mark unit. Maybe it was reliable, but the first Supra you encountered at a light would've easily blown the doors off the Impulse 😅
Can anyone buy a junkyard vehicle from you so they can rebuild that vehicle put in the car show or buying parts from you on the vehicle just asking my friend 🤔
they are really neat cars but unfortunately they just dont have any value here in america. is that your 59 caddy in your thumbnail? i got parts for a 59.
Those two Isuzu Piazza's (that's another name for them), you don't see too many of them kicking around anymore. The Mustang, pretty hammered in the side there, no wonder it ended up at the junkyard. And with the people complaing about the cars getting crushed, yes it can be a shame to see some of them go like that. But that's a junkyard, not in the business of preserving the vehicles there. If they did, they wouldn't have space for too long since they'd just languish there, and even rust into nothingness. Plus, many of them would have issues that'd make them unfit for the road, not worth fixing & the like. So you have to consider there would be factors as to why they are there.
It looks by what i can see here they are genuine junk cars as they seem to have been left standing and unused for years meaning everything left would be unusable, body panels rust and engine, brakes and gear boxes seized to past the point of no return making them unviable and money pits for restoration
I like watching this guy. Some try to say it should be saved. That's not going to happen up in Minnesota where they're at. Up in the Land of Rust and Rot. All of those white suspension pieces you see. That's from the road chemicals they use in the winter. It eats the pot metal and aluminum and rots away. Corrosion on everything.
