We Bought An Abandoned Farm Full Of Antique Cars!!! Part 1 of 3 

I could swear I saw an old grayish 70/71 Buick GS 2dr with chrome slat grill....that has been my DREAM CAR since I was 15! But I am 44 now and spend all my time and money on my other passion, we adopted 4 kids and do emergency foster care! I will get the car when I am retired!!! LOL. Thanks for sharing all those hidden gems! Take care!

Nice to see a young man appreciate the history of those cars.

Back when you could tell what make and model a car was when it was still a half mile away. Even at night, the headlights or taillights told you all you needed to know. As a teenager spotting the Dodge Diplomat lights were highly important since thats what the State cops were running at the time. Great, great collection you are one lucky guy.

HI SILAS- when I was a kid we lived right next to a junk yard boy did we have fun we even got some cars going again a battery and gas and spark plug wires we were 6-7 years old and drove the cars around then park them . But any ways enjoy your gold mine I wish I could do what your doing but IM 60 yrs. old I love my 1978 Buick skylark your skylarks are older I like the style have fun I like your u-tube LA.CA.

I've been part of discoveries and cleanups like this before. They are a TON of work! Very important to scrutinize EVERY piece you find for value....value historically, monetarily, personally....take your time!! First one I ever did was back in 70's....we scrapped most. Breaks my heart thinking back on THAT one!

Those early Corvairs are very popular for restorers, as well as for parting out. Ralph Nader made his bones by attacking GM for the Corvair swing axles, but he never went after VW for using the same design. I never did like Nader. Self righteous, and self interested. Not a car guy at all. That's a fascinating collection you found. I love those early '60's Dodge pickups. A handsome truck.

Great adventure! Down home fun...you got lots of valuable scrap..thanks.

Thanks for sharing. I'd love to just walk around and look.

That blue IH grain truckis beautiful! And all the other IHs had me drooling! So many solid projects here!

Lot of great machines. Just waiting for a restorer.

Love your appreciation for things.

That 62 Chevy panel truck is rare , street rodders would love that !

Skylarks are the poor mans Chevelle. They are becoming more popular lately. Thanks for the videos

Love those old places and cars lots of cool history

WOW nice buy ! I'd happily live on such property ! I like your idea of wall art too. Cheers, Ard

I grew up in F-town 1952 till 1970 Those cars were on the road at that time I had 2 Corvairs, That one you have might have been mine ..LOL Check the title if you have them....

Man! :D Your videos are VERY addictive. All of them are honest and humble... and each one is VERY different but no-less entertaining! Please keep up the great work.

God bless you and family==I really love what you do with all these encounters.

FYI "BLACKHAWK" was a manufacture (Rated No.#:-1, in my opinion) for "AUTOBODY Equipment." I did autobody repairs for 25 years. Still using my 1.5 ton BLACKHAWK floor-jack, purchased circa 1970. I think what you were showing (@ 15:48 of this video) might be a tube-bender, i.e., exhaust bender.

Amazing find!!! cant wait to see more

Must have cost a pretty penny, definitley a cool collection though, look forward to seeing the rest!!

Lots of awesome! The Blackhawk item is a roll around cabinet for autobody port a power equipment, 1940’s ish. I have one and use it in my shop, the cabinet any how.

Neat coming back and watching older videos and seeing how much you've grown as a creator, etc.

Back in 76 I bought a 58 Delray, 2 door for 300 dollars. Best car l ever owned. Wish I still had it. It was unique with the impala trim I added to it, from a junkyard

Great find.

What a guy... you inspire us Kansinians everyday. One man’s junk is Silas’ treasure.

Love to old skylarks they where great looking cars that black hawk badge is realy cool id save all emblems and badges off all the recycled cars some of that trim and crome is worth its weight

There were tons of places like that here in the midwest during the 1970s-80s in the 1990s most of them were bought up by big farms. All the cars were crushed and the places bulldozed to make cropland.

That complete International truck is a late 1930's "D" model...fairly rare truck...

You have a lot of hidden gold there. If you have road frontage that’s where move some of those cars. Be like the front line at a dealership. Very cool. Good luck.

1960 Dodges are Gold!

What a treasure trove I worked along side of dad ( R.i.p ..i miss you so much ❤) doing restoration and resto mods there's a lot of potential even if it looks to fare gone.

Very cool and a thumbs up liked.

0:44 BC International, only made for 3 years from '59-'61. Rare truck to see these days and that one looks to be in decent shape. I hope that one gets saved!

Looking Good Buddy.. Keep it up 👍

U doing a great job with ur videos. Great places

Some of the Corvairs make good projects being simple cars and there are Buicks that are probable restorable by the right person.

Love the skylark too

I like your videos these car and truck discovery, recovery and scrapping are fun

love 64 Fords even if they are Custom 500 4 doors. car looked fairly solid. I think the every day cars of the era should be saved, not just the hardtops and convertibles.

New subscriber to your channel, enjoy your videos and your son is a awesome little guy! Please keep the video’s coming.

It is great collection!

At 2:46 into this particular video, Yes indeed the Dodge 2-Door looks very cool. The last time that I had seen a Dodge like that, was way back in 1975 / 76 . A guy down the street from my house, had parked on his driveway a 1960 Dodge Coronet 4-Door it looked beautiful, but from that day to today, I haven’t seen another one.

It appears that a lot of those vehicles are salvageable and you could make some money selling them to someone who's into restoration. Especially the two door models. Thanks for the cool video!

You have a LOT of work ahead of you!

The nailheads are still popular with hotrodders and rat rodders, so don't scrap them until you are sure there aren't any buyers! Any engine with an unusual look is fair game. Also check any GM trucks for 290 straight sixes. Man, I wish I could be there!

It's the car whisper! Literally!

THESE are my favourite type of video; glad, I got the recommendation.

Feels good to hear you say you will not crush the old cars no matter the condition!!

Oh and I would love to see that old wood stove by that barn!

I love it!!!!I would buy them too, awesome

You're lucky to get a hold of a great fine like that! F y i... look at the tail lights or the Park lights and you will see the year of the car. Older cars up to the mid-to-late forties tail lights we're glass. Sold to 1948 Plymouth tail lights got a hundred bucks. Best of luck with this new Endeavor of yours.

I like the Apache panel van and the 67-72 GMC P/U.

Yes, it's neat and junk at the same time, thanks for the video.

ohhh, you are gonna have so much fun !!!

That old Dodge is a 1960, not too many around.

Good one

You talked about loading hay into a barn in the old days. I highly recommend a video you can find on RU-vid that is a converted 16mm movie of haying in the Humboldt River Valley of Northern Nevada in the early 1950's. It's only around 5 minutes long, but it's totally worth watching.

I would LOVE that 46-48 Ford Coupe!!!

Kansas here when I was a kid I'd walk in the woods and you stumble on a pit find toys, bottles and cars . Some time you find a car or two pushed over a river bank to keep it from washing out.

Great find! 😎😎😎😎😎😎

What a massive clean up

Subscribed to see what happens next.

If it is what I think it is, the blackhawk metal deal in the brush at the last part of video is a frame straightener and they locked down to rails in the floor and then the hydraulic arm would reach out and then the air over hydraulic would bend it back. It has several little items that worked in connection to help with the bend. They were way before the cheaper versions of frame straighteners. Oh I can see myself driving the 46 or 7 ford sedan as well right there at the end with it clean and a mexican blanket over the front seat... I do believe that those had a back seat as well. You may find it odd but I would put that ford body on a buick skylark frame with buick running gear. I did a forty ford tudor on to a 64 wildcat frame and it was absolutely the best thing I have ever built. Very happy to see a person who has insight enough to save our forgotten treasures

Got yourself a lot of good rebuilds

The Black Hawk is a Porta Power Station , to press off pullets ,bushings ,install U joints. I just sold one in my Auction. I think it was from late thirties or early fourtys.

Love having all cars truck

8:37 I like that big Fury. Wonder if she has a 440 under the hood. Bet its a 318 or 383.

I knew of a place just like that where I live and they finally scrapped them all out about 2 yrs ago. Would loved to have walked thru them all and seen what they all were. They hauled out several semi loads of them. I still know of a place where an old man has alot of 60 and 70s trucks from 1/2 ton to 2ton trucks just all grown up in bushes. Went there the other day. The think nest about them is he just bought them and parked them in the bushes most still would run.

You need to contact Derek from Vice Grip Garage. You can find him on RU-vid. He does amazing restorations of older vehicles

The skylark you opened the door on looks like an rare sun coupe I would look into it if I were you

A lot of parts! Looks like many of them could be salvaged. Chrome and stainless trim,windows,body panels,tail lights,window frames and on and on

like your laidback attitude :) hi from scotland

Sweet BlackHawk dealeo!!!

Treasure island? Great to see many of the car's saved, just bet much restoration needed..

5:55..both 1965 Buicks. Should snatch them up !

As a senior a lot of these cars were on the road. He liked Buick cars.

Bitter sweet! So many awesome cars, and it's a damn shame someone "loved" them to death! Why do people do this, these cars could have been rescued and on the road today, but the majority of these awesome rides are rotting back into nature and no good to anyone outside of great memories of bygone days when designers knew how to create works of art of wheels! Thanks for sharing brother! Jack ~'()'~ Canada Manly!

My guess is just about every one of those have the floors rotted out of them. Settled into that soft moist/wet ground assures that.

You have a lot of cool stuff. That last thing you didn't know what it was, it was a press. You press bearings out with it. You were pretty good on your car years also. Have fun.

I’d love that grand coupe! Bugger I live in Australia

These place are cool

I'm interested in the International trucks, and the Blackhawk thing. I'm a retired Ford, Lincoln, Mercury technician...

@8:19 "Random Ford" is either a 1964 Galaxy or Custom 500. I had a Custom 500 4-door (baby blue with white hardtop) I bought in 1983 for $200. Was in great shape and the 289 ran pretty well. If that was a Custom 500 2-door with a 425 man that would had been a cool find. Heck, it's cool anyway! @16:12 I never noticed how much those Skylarks looked similar to the Olds 442 from the front. Just the grill is different.

Hi , Really Enjoying your vids' from Steve United Kingdom. The 1973 Impala / Caprice' my dad had one when I was a Kid' while the Engine was out me and my Friend yousto crawl under build a Den in the Huge Engine compartment! 😆. Also the Gran Fury coupe would love that! Very Rare! There's one in one of my favorite car movies Thunderbolt & light Foot ! Black one Jacked up High on leaf spring Hangers! Looks so Bad ass! Can't believe you have one in your Yard!! Please send it too Me 😉 Regards

I'll be late, go get the Buick. That's a good buick you could work on and fix it up and sell it😊

Did the vehicles etc. add to or subtract from the value of the property?

i would love to buy one of those beauties, maybe get one back on the road.

I'm a bit late to this one. Great video! One thing I REALLY appreciated was at the start of the video you said something like 'This is a really unique place.' Thank goodness! Someone who knows their grammar! People who say '....very unique..' use the wrong grammar! Last thing, this video is a year old, have you done a follow up since? All the best from Nairobi, Kenya.

I totally agree with your point that you waste too much time selling bits of these classics one by one for ten bucks each.....on the other hand I think you as well agree that some parts are worth salvaging....would be an idea to give classic car traders and owners a week,or maybe just a couple of days,to salvage what they can and or want at discount price...if it attracts enough people it can stil bring in enough money to be interesting....you could even consider selling per kilo;I buy from my scrapmetal neighbour for 1.5 times the price he gets for it when it is recycled....I don’t waste his time,I am happy with my purchase and he makes a bit extra!!

Live that vintage International...wish it was a pick-up...

I think that dodge is a 66, I had a 70, and would love another one in a crew cab!

I love this a oldies love older car

It would be great to own one of those Buicks to repair or the caprice classic.👍

Did you contact Jay Leno? He has buyers. The 58 Chevy Del Rey was my first car in 71. I paid $35 for it and it ran fine.

Exploring is education too. Curiosity with. Liberty. 🌄🌅😍💛💗

I would think that many of these would be valuable for parts. There are people who restore/preserve old cars and would love to get the parts. Some of those are pretty rare.

Go through each one and look for money. Could be several silver coins in those vehicles, especially in the back seats and under the driver's seat. GL

That blue dodge truck looks just like my 64 i used to have
