I have been buying cars from this tow yard for years. There has never been a shortage of good rare cars that are getting more and more difficult to find in decent condition. I decided to do a walk through because some of the vehicles are worth seeing.

The car with fiberglass fins is a '56 Studebaker Golden Hawk. That year used a Packard 352 V-8 for power.

@rickloera9468 Год назад

The Viliant is actually a Valiant. The 68 Mustang is a 1970/72 Maverick. The Studebaker with the fiberglass fins was a factory add on. Studebaker didn't have the money to retool the whole quarter panel, so they made a fiberglass fin that used chrome trim to hide the seams. The Chevy with a missing engine would be a straight six or a V-8. No V-6.

@Awsom47Merc Год назад

* It's Valiant, then a LeMans convertible (not GTO) next to a Maverick, Studebaker used some fiberglass, the Chevy tow truck is a 61 only year for that hood. The AMX is an Eagle not Javelin ( junk), Lincolns have rear suicide doors not Cadillac, the Cabs are Checkers made in Kalamazoo Michigan and use 327 Chevy engines, the car/pick-up is a UTE they sell in Australia, the 60 Dodge 200D service has a 318 V8 not 440, Celicas Suck except for target practice, the taillights are a Pontiac Ventura (Pontiac version of Nova) the GTO in mid 70's was a tape stripe package only (junk), the PU beds are full of aluminum scrap.

The tragedy of it is that most people enter the classic car world with the fear of scrutinization and ridicule from fellow/senior members of the car community , cars are a wonderful hobby/trade/industry to come into but the show and meet community can become vacuous and insufferable. They will most of the time emotionally chase away younger people who just love cars and want to get started because they don’t have perfect vehicles bought with 401k’s and Pensions. I remember working all day to , let’s say sand down and prime my car just so I felt it was making a little progress and spruced up for a local meet, just to have overweight old guys make fun of it, but hey I guess it comes with the territory. I ended up getting a job in a restoration shop towards my late 20’s and realized the majority of enjoyment with project cars comes from you slowly seeing the car’s Journey to becoming what YOU envisioned not what OTHER’s Expect.

@AllSpeed Год назад

@longroth4882 Год назад

The odd looking pickup... Roof line looks like about a 51 Studebaker champion that someone converted. The yellow one with the horizontal taillights close to the end is a 74 Pontiac Ventura, built on the same platform as the Nova. Hard to tell if it was a GTO, some had spoilers on the trunk lid, most had stripes, which this doesn't have, but some were pretty plain in the back half. The front end is where the differences were, hood with shaker scoop, grille, and fender badging, which is all gone.

12:35 Likely rolled over 106,000 miles. Then symptoms of a tired engine, timing chain wore out, and they parked it instead of doing an engine rebuild (probably due to cost). Old engines of that era lasted around 105,000- 115,000 miles before it warrants an engine rebuild or minimum freshen up.

@genefogarty5395 8 месяцев назад

But how are the prices? I had a clown try and charge me 275 for a crusty 72 Duster fender last week, WITHOUT shipping. An hr. later I had a guy that I met on a forum driving from the neighboring state with a much cleaner fender, gauge cluster, some window trim and a console for 250. For that I had to take him out for a burger at the local watering hole, lol.

@americanrambler4972 Год назад

The studebaker business coupe with the pickup bed installed in it at time stamp 22:31 with the ‘DGE’ (Dodge) lettering on it is a really cool mild custom. This would be a perfect candidate to get and swap this body onto a Ford Ranger, Dodge Dakota or a Chevrolet Colorado or S-10 4x4 chassis and running gear. Back in the 40’s to early 50’s, these two door sedans with giant long trunks were a popular traveling salesman and business use vehicle. Looks like the owner removed the trunk lid and narrows a dodge pickup box and welded or bolted it in. It looks like pretty decent conversion with some style.

You looked at a turquoise Ford truck. Looked at the speedometer,and said it sayes six thousand miles. The way you tell if those are original or a hundred,& six thousand miles. Is look at the brake pedal. If it is worn down on the right side of it. It's a hundred,& six thousand miles. If it is not it is original miles.
