As a former junkyard "Auto-Recyling Yard" owner I can't imagine how this business was still in business keeping vehicles that have absolutely no value other than crushed weight value.
I asked a while ago how old the place was but got no response. I think it was not operating as a business for a decade or two and was basically abandoned.
@@mikeyh9528and with scrap metal prices being high for the last few years, it was probably worth the effort now to set up the EZ Crusher and clean the place out.
If it's like my buddies' yard, those cars have been there since they were hauled in for free. Scrap wasn't worth the trouble since it didn't pay much in the 80's and 90's, in my area, you were lucky to get $50 for an old car if the glass was good. He has a lot of land and no real reason to crush anything, so there are cars all the way back to the 50's out there. He really only crushes late model cars since they're easy money, and even then, they pile up until prices are right.
Looks like that Skylark had an encounter with the Jaws of Life. That big Olds on the bottom was the Car You Wanted. The rest are just the Car You Could Afford.
11:11 The Tempo was a 1986-87, a style you never see anymore. Appeared to be in good shape for a midwest car. I completely forgot about that Lemans. Never see those at all. That Delta88 is what I think of when I think of an Oldsmobile. If Olds and Pontiac continued to make cars like that longer, instead of what came out in the mid-late 80's, both brands might still be around today
What do you mean by longer? Gm had to keep evolving to not be left behind. They got shorter in the mid 80s and ended up FWD. The wagons lived a little longer but ended up obsolete with the FWD minivans and then the SUVs
Sometimes she runs, sometimes she don't More than once she's left me on the side of the road The older she gets the slower we go But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio She needs a carburetor, a set of plug wires She's ridin' me around on four bald tires The wipers don't work and the horn don't blow But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio
A long time ago, I drove a 1995 Olds '88 Royal ... that f###ing thing was rusty as heck. It failed while driving on a rood trip from Wisconsin to Texas. The wheel bearings gave out on both sides. The rusty PoS was left abandoned in Buda Texas, unable to drive anywhere and requiring several $ thousand to fix.
Just me or does it look like the Tempo was immaculate? They probably forked the trunk open before crushing to make sure nothing fishy was in it... looks like someone may have picked some left side front suspension parts first.
Why would you ever want to crush a car like that man that’s a work of history, better than anything on the market that you can afford and still make loads of money just by inheriting it for another century.
At least they were around long enough to be recorded and posted and act as a documentation of the cars that used to be all over the road back in the day. It also is sad to see the condition so many of them ended up in after sitting decades outside at the yard. So many of these were junked all the way back in the 90s judging by the license plates. Makes sense why so many cars from the 70s, 80s, and 90s are here.
