Exploring A Private Honey Hole junkyard for a potential revival! (BEHIND THE SCENES) 

I agree. More vehicles means more fixing which equals more content. It's more gooder better. I mean he could do a mini series of tow trucks. That then tow other projects home.The projects could be found at the same yard as the tow truck or found on the way home.Then sell. Or give away the tow trucks to some smaller or less used race tracks. If they are lacking one. I mean who's gonna say no to a tow truck. But same could be said for fire trucks.

A fella does wonder how much they would take to part ways with that pair... Would be fun to travel out west and have an adventure

This is a really good idea

Was gonna say do the New Yorker but this comment wins!

Gotta disagree. With the kinds of cars he deals with, he needs a flatbed. Though, it would be a cool revival anyway, now that I think about it!

I agree the edsels got a bad name back in the day but my dad was a twenty something back then and he said they were a road running son a bitch

Yap I fully agree with you

Yeah, that Edsel was awesome

The Edsel Complete is a treasure. She needs a safe place away from pickers. But the towtruck is fun!

If you don’t do the Edsel, ill be dipped!!😳

Trail. Duster worth it price a late Ue Y?,

At 30:19 he said that's their house talking about the mice. Well that was a mansion lol

Obviously you don't watch much "Cold War Motors", Dean's 58 Edsel sedan,and other cars.

@@timothyokane9710 This. They cover everything you wanted to see about Edsel

@@timothyokane9710 I don't. This is the only car restoration channel I watch and I only found it through YT recommended.

Watch Cold War Motors on RU-vid. You're welcome.

Second that

413/727 I'll bet. The only things that I'd change about the car is a dual reservoir master cylinder, try and put discs up front, and lose the keyed axles.

My friend has 2 Etsel's. 1 is a rat rod. Chopped and channeled. The other is all orginal. Stored in semi trailers.

It is definitely a 727 only thing you could get with a big block. It would be a 383 or 413.

Can you save the Chrysler New York?

Of course it has a 727 in it. And being a 64 NY, it also has a 413. Odd things about 60-64 Mopars, though: they have a CABLE shifted 727, so the valve body, case, and shifter mechanism are different. And they have the dreaded 2 piece axle shafts with a big nut on the end, like AMCs have. Those drums are a PITA to get off.

The Edsel gets my vote, also.

Edsel wagon all the way I seen that and my jaw dropped. Such a beautiful piece of Americana.

I'm all for the Edsel. One of my professors helped create the focus group for those. He said they were embarrassed. The focus group loved it. It was too many new changes too fast, mainly. Within a decade, all of the features on the Edsel were standard on most all cars.

100% id like to see that

+1

I agree with the Edsel! That's a rare one with two doors.

I second that motion.

YES! That thing looks amazing!

And the New Yorker..

Yup.

I say get the Edsel and the Tow Truck running, and take em both home 🤣🤣

@@MavenFade I'd second that. Edsel and tow truck

Would love to give the charger a new lease of life

@@jonnysprojects6549 That would be a cool collaboration; VGG and GYC

Totally agree, and I'm a vintage Chrysler guy, I grew up on them, beginning with the '64 Dodge 330 wagon with the leaning tower of power under the hood and the pushbutton automatic.

Yes!!!

The push button trans is sketchy.

@@bb5242 Well, it depends on who had them and how they were designed. Yes, the Teletouch on the Edsels were complex and a pain to rebuild, especially now with parts not easily obtainable now. The entire design hinged on rods and contacts within the column itself to keep it steady, but allow the wheel to turn and it did have Park, but whether it had a start neutral safety switch I don't know as it was only offered in I think a couple of years at best as the Edsel was only sold from 1958-1960. Chrysler sold cars with the push button transmission from 1956-1964 but the last few years, 1962-64 most had I think a parking pawl incorporated into it and a start neutral safety switch. Chrysler I think often used cables instead of levers and linkages and it proved to be reliable. We had a base '64 Dodge 330 wagon with the push button automatic and it never failed us in the 13 years we had it (since new) and by the end, it was still working fine, even after a used transmission was found in 1973 for it when the original failed. Now the car was not reliable anymore by the late 70's but that push button was still reliable. Pretty much all Chrysler products that had these push button control were pretty much like this by 1962 to the end in '64 as they all had the parking/neutral lever with pawl and start safety switch. Even most manuals for the most part had standardization in gear layout, reverse, and whether it needed a reverse lockout, or not. Most 5speeds did not need a lockout, but 4th and 6 speed units often did due to the fact that reverse was often adjacent to a forward gear.

My two faves too. But the wrecker has potential.

I hope your little one gets to feeling better right quick. I mean like right NOW. Colds stink, poor girl.. Fred

A VGG tow rig with a bald eagle and flag paint job would be too delicious

VGG rescue rig if anything doesn't make it back

Ditto!

I'd like to see you in the other 57 nomad Chevy

Founded Olds Motor Works (to become Oldsmobile) several years before getting bought out and kicked out, then founded REO and built trucks and stuff.

@@rdbrnr86gt Yep, he sure did! He also is credited for inventing the first assembly line (patented in 1901). Henry Ford went on to improve the concept. Olds was a very important guy in the early days of the auto industry that often gets forgotten!

@@rdbrnr86gt Why was he kicked out?

GM LANSING DELTA TWP, "LDT" Lansing Michigan UAW Local 602 makes the awesome, Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. We also made the Saturn Outlook until 2010 (discontinued)and GMC which is now currently built in Tennessee.

@@jameswood231 For sure! Shout out to Lansing Regional Stamping (LRS) too!

Then teach the boys to drive it & you have your own rescue crew whenever you get over-optimistic on a revival.

Amen

Sounds like a plan to me

Sounds like a plan to me

Tow Mater is my HERO!

Edsel! That would be awesome. I've owned two!

They are so awesome!

Yes! The Edsel!

Agree! Edsel is odd and also underrated. But, I understand Derek: so many cars, so much opportunies! A mean Charger -66, a fat Monte Carlo, an evil Galaxie coupe...

"bottles" the mind.

I agree! Not enough love for the old wagons, here.

That baby needs a full restore and shown off across the country.

Your right. Looks Cool as Hell. 🇺🇲USA🇺🇸

Everyone hated them back in the day.

Had a 59 edsel about 10 yrs ago. Wish i never would have parted with it. They are so rare and the body style is unlike anything ever made.

Unique sometimes just means ugly. Lol. Great project if you do like though.

Agreed

This is a tough suggestion to argue with. Maybe the tow truck pulling the New Yorker... I like this idea. Yes, definitely! Fred

Where is the yard?

@@turnjare Wendell Idaho

@@gregnewberry4813 I don't think this is L&L Auto. It's too organized, and they also said it's not normally staffed, AND it was between 2-3 hrs from SLC. I supposed they could have really exceded the speed limit, but the other hints don't point to L&L.

@@littled6698 Yes, could be. Although L&L is surprisingly organized looking at it from google maps.

@@gregnewberry4813 True. Although another thing I thought of, was I don't see any tractors at L&L, and there were A LOT here.

Definitely get that chrysler back on the road!

Get the New Yorker and Betty White cruising down the road, the good old days.

Go for that 413,to cool and low milage to boot ! You could probably burn the tires right off it. What a great transplant for say, a gold duster!! Merry x-mas for you and your!!!

I would love that old New Yorker. I had a couple of 80s New Yorkers way back and they are great cars.
