Mr. Goodpliers and Joe look over a collection of vintage cars and trucks that were left in the woods! It's auction day, so time to make some picks and tinker on them! How many will run and drive? More than you might guess!
Yeah it's easy to make any engine run but the locked up ones are the best. That's why I like Mortske Repair many of his are locked up and get's them going sometimes but then again some are just too far gone like the 56 Chevy 250 he had it was a rusted hulk too far goon.
These prices certainly won't bankrupt the average person. At other auctions you'd lose money selling restored versions - maybe break even selling parts.
I've always admired the Matador coupes made from 1974 to 1978 for their styling and rarity. They remind me of the Marlins from the 1960s which I liked just as much.
i watched a you tube vid where the guy crushed 260 mint condition desotos . nobody would buy anything but the grills and bumpers to put on other cars .lol
I had a 61 Biscayne I bought in 1973 for $400 had new paint the original blue new tires and all new brakes. The interior was perfect and was a straight 6 with 3 on the tree. Loved to drive it as it was my very first car purchase at age 15. Wish I had it now back then it was just a.old car and they were everywhere. Enjoyed this video can't believe how cheap old iron goes for in your part of the country. If that sale was here in Florida prices would have been much higher. A collection like that should have been done online for anyone to buy.
I used to sleep in the rear package tray (rear window) on the way home when I was a kid of a 61 Chevy Biscain. I was just a little taller than the tail lights. Seems like a long time ago. Thanks for saving the history. Thanks for the video
Excellent score on the 49 Plymouth for $450. One year ribbed bumpers are very desirable to the lead sled guys and could sell for more than was paid for the car
You really hurt me when you didn't get that 1955 studebaker commander that front bumper would have put you on easy street here in Canada. That car had a radio if it was original also is a hard to find item they only have to look like they work to finish off the dash, most guys have modern fm mounted in the glove box or some other music.
The guy who bought it is an old Vietnam war veteran. He's had some major health problems and is coasting out the remainder of his life, so I don't really bid him up on cars.
Thought the DeSoto's were all pretty good buys with just the hood ornaments ($100-$200) on the 49-52 cars recovering a good portion of the cost. The 49 Chevy was pretty complete but I liked the 52 DeSoto the best with that near perfect hood ornament and grille (which should bring a good return being a grille many customizers prefer for their Mercury or other car redo). Unlike Pontiac where you had the standard hood ornament or a different optional light up Indian hood ornament, the 50-52 DeSoto's used the same ornament where the standard face insert was metal and you could insert the optional light up face in the very same ornament. If that 42 Plymouth would have been a coupe that would have been pretty high on my list. So few 1942 anything still survives today. Very enjoyable video. Thanks.
Some fair deals there! The Swinger was the steal as well as the Type 3 VW's ( most of those parts are not re-popped and bring bank). Thanks for sharing
Hey, that brown 77 LTD wagon reminds me of the coroner wagon Jack Klugman drove in the 70-80s TV show, Quincy M.E. The only real difference was the color of the wagon in the show was black. You may be too young to remember that show. Ask your parents. I bet they will. Take care.
Great content really nice car's especially the carry and two door Plymouth to be honest to much chrome and nice shapes to dislike many lol even thought people don't like some cars not popular I still feel they need preserving would you be able to give me details of these auctions coming up love to pre view some of them if possible land purchase moving on nicely so all good soon also looking for a hauler to pickup some buys if you know of any
Good buy on the VW and the white 2WD Ford pickup. I really like the MR. GOODPLIERS van box, that would be cool. The 51 IH L110 SD (Silver Diamond) is just like my dad's, I thought it went high but good for the seller.
Liked the 54 Plymouth hardtop. Looks like they had it as a 55. I have a 53 Cranbrook club coupe, basically the same car. 3 speed od, also Hi-Drive available and Powerflite in February of 1953
While some like the Matador, I remember them when new and even with a designer name were not something anyone I remember wanted. A big sled for sure. I am sure one day I will be wishing I have found one. You got some nice cars to take back to the ranch. Thanks for posting, Tim.
These cars are being sold at marker prices unlike those individuals who have a private collections of abandoned vehicles and think each one is worth 5 to 100 thousand
That orange dodge pickup looks remarkably like the one the GCFCE picked up a few months ago. How clean is that thing? its got front discs, didn't seem to have too much rust. probably a v8, 360? that looks like a steal of a deal.
It's got some rust spots and dings, but it's a remarkably preserved truck. The guy who has it got it up and running. It is available, if anyone is interested
Brent from Halfass Kustoms has done floors in many of the old dodges and plymouths and he made it look so simple. I am sure its not simple but its surely doable... a two door like Joes car should get a floor if its a runner
I'm not sure if the engine turns or not. If it's just floors, that's one thing, but when the rockers, floor braces, and other underside sheetmetal is rusty too, it becomes a very big job
Sad part is I would like to get two or three but I know that it doesn't matter what you want it will be the guy with the deep pocket and the mad guy bidding it up.
I would of bought that blue 49 Plymouth and turn it into a hot rod. Imagine that thing running around with a modern hemi in it all flat black it would be sick
43:40..somebody didn't do their research on some of these cars before scrawling the year and model on the windshields..the auctioneer clearly knew that wasn't a '62 Studebaker from the way he hesitated..that's a '55...I saw a few others that were clearly not right...
Just a note Schwinn made the Stingray and the Krate was a optioned out version, it had the springer front end with 16 in. Tire and rim, rear shocks made into the sissy bar. And sometimes a rear disc brake ( extremely rare) and a rally stripe with the schwinn logo down the length of the seat. And drum brakes on the front. Thanks and as the GIV says now you know.
That guy loved four doors. You passed up the good car Chevy citation factory sunroof and that Dodge dart swinger. I used to have a mint Dodge dart swinger many many years ago
The OD trans was one year only, in 1939. Older brass headlight buckets don't rot off, but steel ones that have been sitting outside on a car for decades are usually rusted out badly
I don't have much right now. Check out another of my videos titled "Out of the woods: Buying an entire farm of classic cars and trucks". You can see footage of some of those cars, but there were many more. In the video description box is Zack's contact number. You can give him a call to see what he might have
