Almost cried went squished Town Car! I have a 1988 Town Car I could buy fenders hood trunk bumpers turn signal lens grill basically all of it. I owned it for 16 years and I'm not selling until I die.
I'm surprized how the left tail light survived all of that crushing. They would be hard to find now days I had trouble finding tail lights for my 93 Lincoln.
Seen a V8 swapped chevette in Kansas one night. I asked," Who owns the vette?" About 5 minutes later someone started laughing. They got it. No one else.
@Jay Man yes small world Jay:) LOL! Instead of Rev up your engines it Rev up your crusher:) LOL! Scotty should get together with 1964corvan and do a live show from here. The episode could be called "Where's the junkyard located? "LOL:)!
Hey everyone is your day off so you are going home right after work so I can go to get the car I owe you some pictures I hope you’re doing right now I love ya ya I know you got me a nice musically and I o you have awesome picture and I love ya I love you so I love ya I love it you can get me to go to see what
I know someone here in the states that actually exports old cars like these to the Bahamas. Their import taraffs are 10% of what the vehicle sold as new, everything and absolutely everything has to work from the cigar lighter to the factory radio. His biggest selling vehicle is any large 15 passenger van. Cruise ship passengers pay 20$ for a round trip ride into town from the ships
1) late 1980's Lincoln Town Car 2) Chevy Chevette 3) Dodge Spirit or Plymouth Acclaim? 4) Pontiac Grand Prix 5) Plymouth Sundance? And yes, the Town Car was rust free with beautiful paint...old Ford Panthers can be worth quite a bit of money to the right person!
Here Bret. 1. 1985-1989 Lincoln Town Car. 2. 1980-1982 Chevy Chevette. 3. 1987-1990 Plymouth Sundance ( see the deck lid badges). 4 . 1978-1980 Pontiac Grand Prix. 5 . another Plymouth Sundance 1987-1990 with a piss poor paint job and a lot of rust dust. Plus there must be someone who goes through those tailights because both cars were missing taillight assemblies.
Am I the only one who sees these being crushed and realizing that at one point in time, someone bought that car new out of the showroom and was proud of that purchase? Now this...it just doesn't seem fair. I know its just a car but they hold so many memories.
I know, right? That's all I'm thinking about, too. That car being crushed belongs to someone's mom who they have fond memories of going for long rides who knows where, or getting groceries, you name it. Somebody got laid or met the love of their life in that car. Somebody passed that car down to their kid as their first car. You name it, each car getting crushed has a story, and if only metal and rubber could talk, man would they. It's a strange feeling, while just enjoying simple destruction. It's entertaining in a weird way watching stuff get destroyed, but still my mind wonders what crazy stories these cars have to tell. The roads they've been, the crusher being the end of those roads. Circle of life, I guess.
@@Seeker-wq8jc I just bought a new car. Literally a week ago. To think this will be its ultimate fate one day while right now I'm hearing the near-silent hum of the new engine...I just can't even imagine it.
To be fair there are probably cars that got to the junkyard because their owner passed away and everyone who had ever been in that car is no longer with us. I don't mean to be sad or anything, but there are many reasons a car finds its way into a junkyard. Maybe the car was fortunate and donated parts of itself to other vehicles in need of good parts. It's like a society, but for cars, not for people. Cars probably have an unknowable spiritual part of them, one that was created in part by the owners and passengers of that car, and which went along with the car and it's history.
Let me save everyone the trouble: 1) I'd have bought that 2) That could have been fixed 3) I could have used parts off of that 4) Somebody should have saved that No. These cars had numerous chances for any or all of these things to occur and nobody made a move for one reason or another so into the stream of recycled steel they go. Enjoy your day.
Should definitely save up the chrome bumpers from these 80s cars. They don't take up a lot of space, and they're going to be worth a ton in a couple decades.
My parents rented a Shadow for a couple of weeks while their car was in the shop. It was small but I could squeeze my then 400 plus pound body into the front passenger seat.
I remember the Chevrolet Chevette as a kid, first models had had the round headlights & a narrower taillights which my brother had a model kit of one & this one was with the square redesigned headlights as we see here & redesigned taillights with a wider taller look if this makes sense.
ill remember seeing those cars it came out from dealer those beautiful Lincoln town car now ill haven't seen those around anymore sad cars don't last forever
I am happy now! There was a tree sticking out of one of the cars. I was beginning to worry after the last video. Still plenty of K platform Chrysler products to crush at this junkyard along with Late 70's early 80s GM midsized platform cars.
YES!! The Left Rear Tail-Light of the Lincoln AND the front turn signal lights on the Citation LIVES ON!!! (do you know how bored I AM to be watching this?!) LOL
why do all these cars look like they have been sitting for like 30 years? trees growing through them, flat tires that keep the flat shape when lifted, old leaves on the windshield, decay, they must be slow my hometown junkyard rarely has a need to keep cars more than 6 months
Here on the back 40 where I live I have my kids paint my cars and trucks. It helps with their creativity and I get free labor and I can sit and watch them do it while I drink a beer. I let them choose colors from the paint department at Wal-mart. When I was a kid my dad made me paint his cars with a paint roler. I think my sister and I painted that 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix around 1988. It held up well:) Our dad said we would do Earl Sechib shame:)
Prior to going to Barrett Jackson it should have gotten a rotisserie restoration :) The Pontiac Grand PRIX should go to Barrett Jackson too. It is a 1978-1980 model.
RS 1990 yes they should, and all brought to your house and stored there for the next 50 years and every part off every pos that comes in in the future. I’d love to see your yard. Think you might be a hoarder
1 Where's the junkyard located. 2 I would have bought that. 3. DON'T crush that! 4.Catalog all the rust chips and bolts. Someone might buy them in 30 years. 5. You should save that. Well they did for 10,15, 25 years and no one wanted it so out it went! !
The Pontiac Grand PRIX should get a rotisserie restoration and then be treated to a set of 22 inch" DUB" type wheels. It would go good with the brush and roler paint job.
The brown car looks like a Dodge Daytona (I think some were built like this, my 1st thought) or a Plymouth Aclaim (if spelled right) which both cars looked alike in design Anyhow I do remember these cars, or maybe even a Chrysler Lebaron by the looks of the door handles.
@@kennethsouthard6042Could probably do something very similar to a drop hammer forge. Hydraulics and if necessary, cables and gang pulleys for height. But then the cameraman couldn't stand as close LOL. Flying shrapnel!
My first car was a Town Car like that one. Mine lasted one year after I bought it. Started losing power and blowing black smoke. No one could fix it. It got crushed too. Crush them all. Ironically my second car was a sundance like this one that also got crushed.
Got 2 questions. 1) why do yall take off the gas tanks? All the other car Crushing videos I watch they don't take them off... 2) would you sell some of the car tags/ license plates? im needing several for crafts
The best guess would be even if the tank is empty after draining in there may still be leftover fuel in them and don't really want them to leak out while being crushed... That's probably the reason why they take them out
That's so the metal being crushed does not protrude past the edge of the crusher itself. Much easier for front end loader to get closer to crushed cars and remove them.
Got a question for you why is he keeping so many gas tanks around the crusher why when you clean it up I don't understand sure some of them are plastic some of them are steel just throw them in cars I don't know👍👍😀🍁
So I've watched your videos a number of times and every time I watch them I watch you load the crusher. My question is why are there a bunch of gas tanks laying in front of the crusher? I would think that's a fire hazard waiting to happen.
Wow and another car I remember, the Pontiac Grand Prix, I'm guessing late 70's or possibly early 80's. Lol sorry I've been commenting as I watch video why I have so many comments as usual. Another Chrysler product I see, lol not one, not 2, not 3, not 4 but 5 cars so far. If I didn't lose count.
I dont know how people live with disorganized yards like these. If I had a yard everything would be stacked nice and neat. There would be sections for rows of crushed cars, mixed scrap metal etc. Not just one big dump.
@@mysterybuyer3738 the yard me and my pal used to go to, they never stacked cars on top of each other, they had racking. It was well organized, all French cars, jap cars, the high end expensive stuff like Volvo, audi, mercs and the odd Hi spec bmw were up in the racking. I would have loved to have a yard like that. With my pal. We would love it!
stupid animals as they destroy a vehicle as it is noted that they have not passed need how many in vzla wish to have a vehicle like that to move from one place to another
Perhaps the biggest pile of crap to feature in the glorious crusher at one time .good riddance maybe they'll be a better beer can than than they were a car .
what kinda screwey salvage outfit IS this, lets just leave tons of useable almost valuable parts on these cars and CRUSH them beyond salvage ... what smarts is this hoolagainism?
Thanks to all of the people that I know you have to go follow your back and please go check it and get your picture with your musically thanks for the nice job I love ya I love it thanks so I can do it tomorrow morning and I can meet up with your friend thanks and thanks again thanks so yes yes you are welcome thanks for all you did nice and I love ya I love everyone and everyone thanks to ya awesome thanks to you and I love you
1st car was missing a few pieces and looked smashed up 2nd car looked like it had some ok bits (lights and bumper) but was rust ridden 3rd car, cheap pos that no once would bat an eye over. Wonder if the rear axle was remoed or fell out, judging from the rust? 4th car, looked rough already, had a tree growing out the front and seeing how the whole body buckled when the door was pushed in, it was made of rust. 5th car rusty pos, so who really cares?
1st car, some buick of the earily 80's as its big but then again buick ALWAYS are big, oi! careful your scraching the bumper! 2nd car something 70's that was laughed at then but was good on miles rusted out sills on the other side, 3rd car 90's pontiac? might be a dodge as by the 90's other then a lil flare or differant light cluster they all looked the same, 4th car, the last era of a boat i'm gussing ford by the black paint covering white, or a lincoln, 5th car, i#m gussing dodge? or might be a toyota/honda,
