Finding RARE Ford Parts in a Local JUNKYARD! Why was this JUNKED? 

Best thing about SoCal must be the condition of junkyard cars.

The stuff in that junkyard is nicer than what I drive around in. 🤣😂

See, *THIS* is what I like, GOING THRU A JUNK YARD AND MAKING THINGS LIVE AGAIN. This is why I liked Kevin Brown's channel initially. he would find junk in junkyards and abandoned fields and make it good. I love redemption content.

I love going to the junkyards. Usually a bitter sweet deal. You find a whole of stuff you want but don't need lol My last run I grabbed a electric fan from a contour for my fox and I seen a 67 Mercury Cougar I wanted to save but the rust really ate it up.

I love how cars over there can be so old but still be so structurally sound. It baffles me if something sat out for me than 25 years that there's much left without being stored

They ran the NorthStar in lots of Cadillacs. I had mine in a XLR. The ran the Corvette motor in the XLR-V The northstar did put out at the wheels around 300HP so advertised 345 crank

Ford made Crown Vics and F150's powered by natural gas. It was a test run to have alternative fuels. I have a CNG Honda Civic. It rocks.

Southern California junkyards are stuff of Legends.

You might want to up your knowledge on the Caddy NorthStar, they make 300 HP. But are poorly designed.

If I was an old man and couldn’t work on old junk anymore. I’d buy one of them houses that overlooks the junk yard and just look everyday to see what’s in there to go rob the parts off and resell before it’s scrapped.

@20:03 the tail lights are from a 89 Cadillac thats what everyone was using in there Kustoms in the early 2000's i almost put them in my 70 3 door suburban ALMOST lol

Hell yeah! Love a good junkyard crawl!

Love the junk yard vids! Especially the tips about interchangeability of parts

Dude. I love clearing my head and walking the yard.

Bent beam ford's most reliable offroad and take a beating. My 92 ranger had an autofab kit and national springs and perry's fiberglass fenders. That truck would take every jump, whoop and even burm track and keep going. I moved on to jeeps since needed the 2 extra doors for kids.

Great video, although I am slightly saddened by the amazement level around cars and features that were so vanilla and normal when I was young.

The hood emblems move in case you hit someone you don't end up gutting them before the 60' they were stationary on the hoods

Those Caddy's Northstars were 275-300 hp stock....turbo charge it and it would be pretty damn good

Just looking at the underside of that F250 bricknose is enough to make me jealous and sad. I'm in Canada and most of the trucks up here are super rusty.

That is a good way to spend a day is going to the junkyard to find those special gems

It never ceases to amaze me some decent looking cars and trucks that get junked at a junkyard it's a real shame. But at least you found some really hard to get parts.

Love Junkyard Archeology!

Love your channel but I would not let you guys in my junkyard throwing and flipping parts around like that . Keep up the good work lol

Those NorthStar Caddy V8's made 300 HP in the Allante's. The more pedestrian ones probably made 250HP, just a guess.

LS460 has a 1UR-FSE(whole different animal than a UZ), the rotor will not bolt on to the LS400. Ls400 has 5x114.3 bolt pattern, LS460 is a 5x120 pattern you could potentially do a redrill on the rotors or find a set of rotors for a 114.3 pattern that will work with the LS460 calipers

I just found your channel a couple weeks ago and I really like it so far. I just watched some of your other junkyard videos yesterday.

The Comet stuff was pretty wild. You aught to maybe go over to the Tennessee to Georgia area next year a week or two ahead of power tour and scout some junkyard cars [there's a lot of them]. :-)

The LTD/Squire with a 400 would have had a Borg Warner Cruise-O-Matic instead of a C6. I had a 74 LTD with that setup. (Galaxies and lower trim wagons got the C6, and all LTDs got the BW in 74.)

Vics were somewhat commonly converted to natural gas and even propane ON TOP of flexfuel. Super cool!

You need to at dash out of the comet clean it up use it for decoration

Dang that LS460 brake was a big ol sunuva gun that would definitely be sick on the LS400. Because why leave anything alone.

ooohhh.. I need that 64' comet front end for my 65' Ranchero... makes an awesome looking conversion.

CNG Crown Vics were definitely a thing, and if you can get that 4.6, DO IT! Most of those CNG Vics were owned by City, County, or State government organizations, so the miles will likely be low, the maintenance is usually top-notch, and the CNG keeps everything inside the engine SO freaking clean that you almost won't believe it! I know because the City I work for had a few of these, and the oil came out like new, even after several thousand miles. On the Probe....they were OK cars, but the NA ones were dogs. My dad had an 89 GT with the turbo and the 5-speed, and that thing hauled ass....at least for back in 89. He had an 84 T-Bird Turbo Coupe 5-speed before the Probe GT, and I would take the T-Bird over the Probe GT any day, only because the Probe's FWD was a pain in the ass for doing burnouts. LOL!

Good find 👌

Cool vid looks like pick a part in Otay, ford thought to put the 4x2 badge on the trucks just so you could have another chrome piece on truck lol

That fab tech lift kit is super cool!!

how do you not take Rags & hand cleaner to the Junk yard?

Keep up the junkyard stuff

Liquefied natural gas. The 400 lb tanks go out of certification and cost too much to recertify. They have stiffest rear springs of any panther platform.

Nice find miss the junk yard sir

Great junk yard crawl

404 stand for 4 door & 202 stand s for 2door

Dude I am begging you! Please fix the F-100! Seeing you drive it takes me back when I learned how to drive in one just like it. It had a swapped in 390 and a 4 speed!!!

Those wheel center caps off the valiant are about $500 same with the dart swinger, you should start pulling diesel turbos for swaps while there cheap, thanks Cali emissions!

Looking good. Junkyard videos are the best 🎉

8:10 I've actually been pretty curious about the van beams and how they compare to the standard dentside beams in terms of width

You should get the Comet! Give it another life.

The red car at 21:08 is a Lancia Beta spyder zagato, pretty rare car even here in italy, i wonder how it ended up in california.

Please more junk yard videos

Cad motor is Northstar made like a 300ish hp. If I remember

Bmw was just 1 mm different then small chevy pattern. You could drill thise big rotor holes out and use them on a gm.

Love these junkyard videos!

awesome find besides desolate or solo motorsports there not many option for obs kits

I love all the vids, especially ford galaxie ones, I have a 67 fast back galxie

How much does it cost to buy a whole car from a junkyard and register it again?

What part is that junk yard located I need some parts of the Mercury comet 1964

I saw a Lincoln LS

A new vid nice

Better than the wheel barrel

Red car was lancia beta

The red car y'all were curious about I believe is an Alfa Romero. Crown Vic's that were used as taxi cabs in Vegas were converted to run on LP gas.

Who is on your foxbody air freshener?

Galaxie please!

No content this week...must be partying in the new garage to hard...😅🤣😅

Hey young man👍

Craig. Get back on the GALAXIES.

Bmw soft top 👌 worth ££££

Man that yellow squarebody tho 🥲 also I wish I was closer because I need is300 parts lmao

PT Cruiser should say POS crapper

Man in other countries they drive much worse cars than what you guys throw away!

Always knew ford modified motors to be crappy till I learned that's what's in my grandpa's 78 f350 camper special, motor has lots of goodies and moooves

Do a wagon build please

That red car was a that was a Alfa Romero

The Lancia is a Beta

Ew! Its a used Probe!!

I don't like your new Toyota Greg

The best car in the yard is the 404 the rest of that stuff is all junk somebody restarting a 404 give their left ball for that $4 trim have a great day

Second comment 😂

Dude @15:05 i have a perfect 4 door car for your fleet of vehicles brotha, this is BEAR the pinstriper you have my number hit me up, 1955 Lincoln capri 317 Y block runs. kinda drives. Needs a windshield and a good turn up. Full Interior is there. Not rust no rot located in San Bernardino/ highland ca

Many crown vics were converted from Gas to CNG for a company or private use, I worked for a company a few years back that provided kits and conversions. we did mainly trucks for the gas company and vans for other companies.

Great junk yard crawl

Nice job emptying a fire extinguisher in an interior that someone may want and throwing a carburetor across the yard that someone may need. Awesome junk yard etiquette.

You need that e30 Edit scratch that get that comet

I had one of those 1964 Mercury Comets, same 200 cu. in. 6 cylinder engines with a two speed trans. Damn thing got like 28 miles to the gallon. I loved it.

Some cab companies ran crown Vic’s on natural gas. Cheaper on parts and more miles in the city with out have to full up all the time 😊

Loved the video. Didn't care for your friend vandalizing that poor cab though.

Hey Craig those North start motors In those caddies you were saying only make about a 100 and something horsepower they make closer to 300 with the round the same amount of torque as well

Mar- KEY. Not Mar keese lol

Craig I need one Alco rim for 97 f250 2wd any change you would grab me one and I'll pay

Love the video awesome content

I gotta chime in; those old Ford 400's can be 500/500 monsters with just a little bit of work. That wagon could have been a sweet ride...maybe even still!

BEST so true someone fixing something could ever say....IT WILL BOLT RIGHT UP..AFTER ALOT OF DRILLING AND NOT BOLTING UP.

Check out volkswagon 17z or 19z calipers. They are brembo 4 (17z) piston calipers or 6 (19z) piston calipers.

87 Fords with the 351W and 460 had 4 barrel carbs. The F250 HD and F350 with those engines were the last gasoline Ford trucks to come without catalytic converters, meaning they could burn leaded gas.

WOW ! I had a gold 2 door 84 Tercel like the one in the video. It was SO SLOW. I painted it poop brown with rustoleum from Home Depot and some rollers ! LOL It turned out decent. Sold it for $1000 !

I'vee seen natural gas F-150s before, so I guess a natural gas Crown Victoria would make sense. Probably used by the government.

With the Chevy truck with the caddie tail lights theres a kit you can get to get thos taillights for your Chevy or GMC or S10 it was a kit you could find in the trucks magazine since the 90s

thank you enjoyed it , nice to see warm weather ,lol I am setting inside and its 28 outside with 3 in of snow ,but its only 56 days till spring and 100 days till bitchin about how hot we are.

Desolate in California all they do is OBS truck and bronco long travel suspension. They are on Instagram.

the vic is probably a old cop car. there one here could switch between LP and gasoline
