we were hired to do a job in new caney texas. we had to scrap over 100 classic cars, from mustangs to camaros, impala ss, buick etc. thanks for watching, and hope you guys enjoy the vdeo i put together. DONT FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE.
Am I the only one who finds places like this beautiful? Even if every part on these cars is now useless, they still look good to me sitting in the woods. I recently bought a home on two acres and one of the first things I did was I bought a rusted out 1940 Chevrolet and put it out in the woods!
I always thought people had old cars on their property because they were to lazy to properly recycle them. Drives me nuts when I see an old vehicle in the woods. I just want it to get recycled so bad! The forest service comes around once in awhile and picks them up on public land but that one rotted 55 Chevy still sitting in the back woods just pisses me off.
O M G!!!!!!!!! I suppose it had to be done, but what a huge travesty to see those old cars being completely destroyed. I just cringed when the mustangs were crushed,
@THE ORIGINAL PROFESSOR CHAOS Environmental catastrophe when the excavator crushed and ripped each one apart allowing whatever oil/fluids to be spilled into the ground. Its amazing how dumb people are
This old guy about 10 miles for my house had probably 200 old cars in the woods around his home, the old man passed away & Jr & grandson junked ALL the old cars ! Lots belonged to my dad through the years growing up ! Heart breaking knowing they were junked ! 😢
Buffalo Benno Check this video out, you might like it, it’s of a 69 beetle I found at a job site ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lcVW2WJEGo.html
Fuck the cars , they belong to the owner , this guy has saved hundreds of cars over the years if it weren't for him they would have been crushed years ago , with the rising price of scrap , the guys probably havin hard times make ends meet so he needed the cash , who knows , this is happening in every junkyard in America , classic cars are being crushed almost daily because no one has the cash to restore them , sad I know but that's the reality these days & if I'm sent to do a job I'll do it to put money on the table even if that means crushing cars that to be honest are scrap anyway , so leave the workers alone cars don't pay bills or feed children, by the way thanks for the acdc music that's my favourite all time band 👍
Sad sight indeed! Some of those cars like that Edsel looked like they had lots of good parts still. Some were clearly stripped and or rusted gone. When a 57 Chevys and 64-69 mustangs gets crushed it's gotta be rusty! I'm saddest about the Corvairs I spotted and the '57 Chevy sport sedan
All those “classic cars” were just a pile of junk… don’t blame people working on this video… they’re just doing their job (a nice job by the way). The true "criminal" here is the original owner of all those cars… not for hiring someone to get them to the scrap yard (I’m sure the owner had valued all cars condition before doing this, and sell them for scrap worth more money and time, than selling each car or parts)… for negligently letting all these cars turn to junk over time. At the end… this should be thanked, first for this enjoyable video; then, for adding value to our “surviving” classic cars… each time an old car gets doomed, my own oldie rises its value. Thanks for share!
I can't count how many times I have seen people who needed glass, a straight hood, trim, bumper, etc because they simply didn't have it. A rusty bumper is better than no bumper. I hope people were notified on forums and such before they just scrapped everything.
I know of a cleanout of three salvage yards here in my area like this. An old fellow. And his two sons bought all three yards next door to each other. They were the only yard within 200 miles that had a good head for my '50 Chevy truck. Riding with the old man to the wreck he pulled my head from I noticed the newest car there was a '58 Fairlane 500, saw a couple of old Ford ,C cab trucks complete! Went back a couple of months later, all 3 yards closed, they were scrapping EVERYTHING, even the two C cabs. Mad was not the word for me!!
Wish I could do this to the crap my nieghbor calls a vehicle and leaves rusting in his yard , cluttering up the neighbor Hood , then again the whole damn property could use this type clean up and recycling for the better !
While normally id be cussing up a storm over this but these old cars have sat so long you can tell theres really nothing left. I mean look how they crumble when they get picked up.
:-( '59 Edsel still with the grille, at least a couple of '57 chevys, '55 Buick, Oldsmobile Rocket 88, '60s Mustangs, '60s Cougar and so many others still with salvagable parts and trim on them. Sad, I assume they didn't give collector's a chance to come in and save some of those parts first, could have got more than scrap value for those hard to find pieces.
Probably had a reason for that. Anyway these cars look like they have been sitting there for 15 years or more, body and subframe all just rust. Even chrome trims that look OK from far away provavly have corrosion and still need renovation. Those barnfind cars that are kept away from sun and rain and have seen at least some maintenance are the ones worth saving. I have seen some similar cars taken to a garage and all they were able to get were carburettors and instrument panel, everything else was either vandalized (decals and trim), rusted through or completely destroyed by sunlight. Was not worth the cost of tow truck from aomeones backyard to the garage and then to the scrapyard (early 70's Plymouth). If it had seen at least some conservation and care, protection from the elements but it was all gone, even though it seemed a great parts car at first sight (had been sitting in a pensioners backyard for 20 years).

Probably the owner of this property an cars wouldnt sell anything or had barret jackson prices..or the ever famous "gonna fix them up someday"...He then passed
shadetree chevy the first owner that stored all the cars there is still alive, then another guy bought the cars from him and sold a bunch of cars and parts, then another guys came in and bought the rest from the second owner and they hired us to scrap them
This is so sad to see so many almost rust free american classics just get crushed into a pile, recycled an then they make soulless shitboxes out of them great job!!
@meangreen69Nova Yeah true just as long as enough buyers are in the market for that particular model. I have kind of a rare car but it's not worth anything. A 1990 Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo. I love it.
Hey guys, here is a video to a 69 vw i found at a old house, had some fun with it and crushed it to check it out. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lcVW2WJEGo.html my other RU-vid Channel is ru-vid.com there is more excavator and trucking related videos. 👍🏼
There's going to be a time when owning a classic car would be considered a thing only wealthy people can afford to keep. People who owns these cars as projects will panic when they find their bills skyrocketing, and they'll make their great sacrifice to give to someone who would appreciate it... only then to either find no buyers, or the buyers would have to chuck it because it's too much to spend. And then eventually, they'll end up like these.
Look people these cars are done. What was good has been pulled off of them. The paper work is long gone and they're not savable. I love classic cars and trucks. But a lot of these here were finished a long time ago . And have set far to long to save. I myself use old cars like these for Derby competition. I use the bodies with a more modern GM drive train and Ford 9in spool rear ends. Or 3/4ton GM, Ford or Dodge rear ends. I send them out in a blaze of glory.
This is actually really painful to watch especially the cougars I use have one and I regret selling it everyday and want another one but there all freaking expensive now hurts to see those ones like that
I am glad they are cleaning it up. I hate it when property owners just let cars sit there and rust when the cars could be crushed and the metal recycled. Drives me nuts when I see an old car just sitting there because of a lazy property owner.

Sadly, the reason fully intact classic cars just sit like that is because some asshole hordes them and turns away (probably with a shotgun) anyone who comes around asking about buying parts or even whole cars. Then when the old miser finally kicks the bucket...the cars are already rotted away beyond salvage. Truely a shame.
Man that’s like finding out u won the classic car lottery. I’d redo all I could and sale off the rest. I know some of those bel air bumpers go for about $600

@@1chish Just because it's made in America currently doesn't make it good. Show me any person that would be caught dead in a Prius and I can almost garuntee they are a useless sack of cr@p. My beater Fiat 500 gets better gas milage then one of those bad for the environment lithium battery smug mobiles, I used to bother the sh!t out of my coworker with that everyday until I shamed him out of his Prius and he went and got an expensive Masseratti that he defaulted on the loan. 😋 Good times.
A pity these cars were not broken for spares, I know some of them were to far gone. Now all gone to be made into God knows what. Some wonderful classic cars. Easy come… easy go!
It is good to see this area being cleared of the eyesore of abandoned cars although I do think that some spares could have been removed from the vehicles before they were totally trashed.
Jdigger4130 as soon as we arrived to the job site I knew I had to record it, if anything to show people, there is guys that don’t believe me the cars that were here so I just send them the link. And thanks man. I have another RU-vid channel m.ru-vid.com/show-UCGKuc-UTh1TuEcH9Gjvgbpw here I post more things I do with the excavator and skid steer, if your interested and would like to check it out.
Classics? these aren't even good parts cars! But, you could make a small fortune restoring some of these classic, rusted-out beauties. How? Start with a large fortune.
OMG glass trim I don't have a problem with scrap a rust bucket but Damm that's alot of rare parts someone is looking for right now it is when it's a car that had repo. Market but this is just sad
Ive been into classic cars for over 35 years, and im all for banger racing and destruction derby, its great fun, but this really is a mindless waste of good spares. Shame.
Who needs a crusher? The excavator is all you need. For every classic car that is destroyed, the ones that dont get destroyed become more valuable.nice video footage and music, Highway that went to hell....
Hear of places like this and the pricks for owners won't let anyone buys parts or cars. They sit sit and rot then they send them all for scrap. If anyone reading this is one of those pricks, have a nice day. Of course, lots of car guys want everything for nothing to, but yes prices are high for parts that need major work.
Boy, if I was the owner I would have advertised a part sale a week before the scrappers. Charged anyone say $20 per person plus $20 per hour in the yard to remove all the parts they wanted. Could have made a lot of people happy and made way more money.
@6:55 one can see the excavator operator try and pick a car up, and it simply falls apart from the rust. The operator "mushes" it together in an attempt to pick the car up, but it is still simply falling to pieces. I love vintage and antique cars also, and own two. A 1961 Super 88 "bubbletop" and a 1955 Cadillac Coupe de'Ville. However, these cars have sat in the damp dirt for decades, and they are rusted beyond any use. Most of what is left in parts, is not even good. It was time to clean up the environment, and recycle the scrap into something useful. If anyone needs rust free parts, or wants a solid rust free car to restore, contact Desert Valley Auto Parts. I have purchased parts from them several times, and they are great to deal with. They have restoreable cars for sale, as well.
this is the fate of many classic's that at one time was wanted and the owner would not sell because they say one day it will be restored. now the old fart dies and most likely the children want to sell the land and have no clue what some of this is worth. i know of a few blind non mobile fools that still do not want to sell things and think they will get healthy and restore it still as stuff sinks lower into the earth. want to twitch? how about a 69 426 hemi charger, 70 454 camero, 67 satellite 440, 67 red 400 4 speed convertible firebird with zero rust just to name a few of the top of my head.
Cleaning the forest? Good idea but car from the past should have not ben removed and if so ask people who wants them to take them away or impotent parts This was partly bad done and I think they did it with a smile knowing there was wanted parts on the old cars
Sad to see, but something should have been done with these cars 20 years ago. Most of these “valuable parts” everybody’s bitching about are gone to waste years ago. The stuff is useless unfortunately. That’s why it’s getting crushed
Also for the spelling understand I'm using text to speech the spelling is not always right and I really don't care if you've ever restored a car that has Chrome badges and whatnot and trim that stuff can cost a fortune to buy new and it takes away from the car's value of having original equipment a lot of that stuff while pitted can be rechromed and that's usually what people restoring their cars do to keep them original I don't think you saw my other comment I agree 99% of these cars are trash and better off scrapped but stuff like Windows if you didn't know some of that stuff can be extremely expensive to buy new there's all sorts of bezels and things that literally are not reproduced anymore by any manufacturer.
It's sad to watch but some of the vehicle were already smashed and beat to hell but then there is the other ones that got smashed but we're still restorible
