I knew of this guy. He restored a LOT of old cars. These cars were just the left overs of it all. He restored a 56 oldsmobile convertible and a 55 chevy convertible amoung others. I knew about those two cars because he bought them from my dad. He sold all the nice stuff a few years ago..
Noticing the homes across the street, can you imagine being a neighborhood kid and sneaking across the street on occasion to checkout the junkyard?
That is what the junkyards looked like when I was a kid. It was awesome.
The 1956 Olds 98 is the gem of the entire auction! What a solid looking car.
Agree...if I could have just one, it would be that one. A '56 Olds 98 four-door hardtop is a rare and quite special car. Even if it's not restorable, it would provide a trove of good parts and probably some rare accessories; he does mention power windows, and being a top of the line 98, it's probably loaded.
My dad at one time owned a State of Illinois, Stateville Prison used car. It was a black 1958 Chevrolet Delray four dour sedan, kind of grey interior, with a 283 and powerglide.
Mr good pliers. Thank you ❤ your videos much blessings peace ☮️. Adios. )
Mr. B. Here ! Mr. Goodpliers , I have not seen cars so complete mind blowing 🤯🤯 ! I believe that if a vehicle frames seats , body frame if skill and not biting more than your skills these vehicles could re-turn to the road ! My mom & dad had a 98 just like that same color (1956) ! Thank you for the tour !
Thanks tim
Fascinating.... thank you....❤
Greetings from the UK, interesting video as usual. I think you will find that the car you described as a Ford convertible with not much left is British Ford MK11 Zephyr or Zodiac manufactured between 1956 & 1961. Early models were known as Highlines and the later ones were Lowlines because they had a lower roof line. These had a straight six engine fitted , there was also Consul model with a four cylinder engine. Hope my identification is correct as you didn’t get very close when filming.
I hope most of those vehicles get saved.What a treasure trove!.😮
I agree
Now that yellow dump truck is the grill hood and core support, that I am looking for, I need a 1971 C-60 air brake rear end for the same ara,, thanks buddy BigAl California
Thank you for the video
😍Oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍
That old IH is an Emeryville built in California should be a model DCO. This model came before the CO4000 series. The GMC large dump truck is a 9500, the twin stacks are a dead giveaway to it having a 8V-71 Detroit diesel. Cool video!
That old cadillac pickup is tight bro,,, junkin swave 😂
thanks - I thoroughly enjoyed the tour
Thanks for doing the cool walk around i like those 2 dr hardtop 55 or 56 bucks. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Buicks
I dare say this fellow sure had his hands full. I hope he had a few that were road worthy.
Will be watching part 2 to see if you get that 59 Impala.
Thanks for the tour Tim! You are the best!
Amazing this still exists !
The dually at the beginning, to bad the wind shield was busted
THE TWO CHEVY STEPSIDES WERE THE BEST FINDS ON THIS TRIP..BOTH LOOKED LIKE GOOD RESTORATION CANDIDATES..
The 56 Olds 88 and the 98 sat aside it for me. I have one here in England UK, its my favorite all car, i also own a 59 Edsel Corsair
I wonder how many times someone tried to buy some of those cars and he said I'm going to redo them . And as you see he just let them rot to the ground. That is a shame. Thanks for taking us along
Oh Boy, I hope you bought that 61 Mercury Convertible! If you did, I need the rear bumper!!!!
That 56 Olds 98 was real nice. That loaded 62 Mercury convertible, I can only imagine how excited the person who bought that car new was when they drove that car home from the dealership. Many of those cars were very straight and complete with good trim pieces, some where the whole front clip was pretty good. Great "wish I could have been there" video.
Hi tim the 55 to 58 buick olds an pontiacs an 58 chev are my picks. Cheers mate🇦🇺
The 1956 Oldsmobile model 98 hardtop 4 Door is a beautiful Car my late uncle had a 1958 Oldsmobile 2 Door model 98 very nice car
All of these can be restored as long as you can learn to shape 18 gage steel and you know how to weld, which is easier to learn then most people think. 💯
The trip 5 Pontiac and Oldsmobile cars I think are so much cooler with way more flair than the Chevy's I wish I would see more of them at car shows
Yes it is a 53 Pontiac and it is the Chieftain Catalina de Luxe .
hard to believe there are places where kids are too respectful to smash the glass
I'd love one of those buick grills. Put on my truck! Modify! : )
The IH 18 wheeler was an Emeryville. That was the one before the transtar 4070. They also built one with a hood, looks a lot like the old b-61 Mack. IH quit making these trucks in 66 or 67, but I think it's 66. The single headlights designate a Detroit engine. Probably 6v-71 238hp AKA "Screaming 238".
Fascinating info, thanks Jason!
A few of those buicks appear to be in good shape as well as a couple of the oldsmobiles . Hard to tell looking at them on a computer screen than in person .
The Mercs are cool.
That Tempest is sharp!
Thank you for getting up at 3am to get there
The 57 Pontiac front fenders are longer from the wheel opening back to the door than 57 Chevys are in the same area.And the steering is totally different
Le sigh... this is an automotive hoarder's collection. If you'd approached the owner to buy any one of these cars, the price would have been ridiculous I'd bet. Probably why they are all sitting there, rotting into the Earth. At least that's my take on what I'm seeing.
Or he'd a said they weren't for sale and he was gonna start restoring them any minute. Your exactly right too, he was a hoarder and not a collector, theres a big difference !
I see it too many times: old cars and trucks sitting with windows down or knocked out, hoods and trunks open. Tires flat. Sitting on the ground. It doesn’t leave much to work with.
Tim, thanks for traveling as far as you did. Like most comments, hope most of the cars/trucks can be saved. Will be curious what the 59 Impala 4 dr hdtp goes for? Thanks again for going to these auctions. Good luck on your bidding.
Rob from TN.
Wondering how much of a problem they had with piferers through the years. Probably pretty hard to keep an eye on things there.
" pretty toasted"......well said LOL
I like the 52 Merc at 14:30. Its even the same colour as mine. Just two less doors.
Actually as much as it may hurt, unfortunately most of those vehicles are to far gone. It is very important though that those vehicles can be donors for cars that can be saved. I helped a friend clean up the rest of a giant junkyard with over 700 cars. The vehicles that reamained unsold went mainly to the crusher. I helped saving bits and pieces off the vehicles that had to die. Unfortunately not much was usale at the end.
The truck at 21:00 looks to have the IH emblem on the front.
cool like seeing this , also like to see the dealer name tags on the rear deck lid / the lic plates to see when the last time it was tagged
The cabover IH is an Emoryville, named after the plant in CA. They first appeared in1963, I believe.
Alot of good part cars there. Hate knowing these are to far gone to never see the blacktop again.
I done got all the 2 doors impalas out of that town.
International Emeryville cabover. Built in Emeryville, CA I believe.
Lots of amazing vehicles there. Hopefully going to a new home. Always get a kick out of some people who get them right in their garage. Mice spiders and all. Ready to move right in your garage 😂
And most places don't have any extra charges for this 😅
Free for you 😂go figure
Looking around the yard, was there another collection of "good" vehicles? Seems like a bunch of left over donor parts/vehicles are around as well.
He did restoration and built cars. I think some of those were stored at a different location, or sold previously
Have a 54 special convertible Wish I knew about this sale would of tried to pick up that 54 Buick for parts
I bid on it a little ways but the guy who bought it came there for that car no matter what. He is also restoring one
@@mr.goodpliers6988 how do u find these yards selling off
Here's the irony.. you could of walked into his yard and offered him $100 for any of that rust bucket yard art now for cars, and the old coot would of told you to get bent. But now that he's dead, it will sell for 10x that, but he won't get a single cent of it... for any of them at all... because he's dead. he should of taken the $100 while he had a chance. Let this be a lesson to all you pack rats - you can't take any of it with you, and you'll never get around to doing anything with any of it. Turn it over to someone else who will be a better steward of the property.
Your exactly right ! He was never a collector, just another damn hoarder that bought this stuff to let it sit outside till it rusted away. People like this never made any sense to me.
He is still alive actually, just retired and sold the property... so all the loose parts and vehicles had to go
As people age their worlds tends to fall apart Friends die spouses die health fails you get what I'm saying I've seen this with my papa quite often older people in that situation hold on to the one thing they can control their stuff even if it's junk it's stuff they control
Very well said!
@@mr.goodpliers6988man I was there this spring picked up that buick convertible. He had a good price on the cars I bought 61 bubble also. Man I seen this video I thought he died good He's getting rid of everything. My other buddies yard was down the street he passed away. I made the video on him.
Another SAD but Great video. This keeps up you'll be out of work.
How do you find out about these great sales?
They are listed online. I find a lot on Facebook. I don't actively search them out too often - many times people send them to me
the parting shots had the 2 1956 Oldsmibiles in it...88 and 98...im so disappointed that there is nothing on ur next videos about where they went????
While your looking around I need a good zenith carb for a farmall super A 😂
At my age (63) I have no desire to restore another car.
I really like the oddball Caddy truck! and the '59 flat top, though there's a few more cars i'd like to have gotten from there. Thanks Tim, are you ever going to remove that Kinemaster logo? It's like $40 for the year for pro, I'm pretty sure that you could get more subsrcibers as your videos will look more professional. Having said that, i'll watch regardless!!
do u know if the tempest was the ohc six or not , those engines r getting rare now if it was
Those caprices are good for a 1/2 milion miles!
If you happen to know, was there anything left after the auction?
The 59 impala is the best car there
INTERNATIONAL EMERYVILLE THAT WAS THE FIRST TRACTOR I DROVE OUT OF WICHITA KANSAS I 1962
I'm curious if the 49 cadillac was a flower car with the bed swapped? The flower beds rotted out pretty bad.
I believe it started life as a Sedan Deville
The orange vans are Ford Econoline.AL.
All city owned I bet
Retired City of St. Louis fleet vehicles, used for the repair of traffic control signals
HOW DO WE GET ON THE AUCTION LIST?
What town is this in MO

Hi, I am looking for a hood ornament for a friend and thought i would ask for your help. He is after a 1956 Buick hood ornament, let me know if you or someone else you know may have one for sale please. Thanks, Kenny.
Email me, mrgoodpliers1985@gmail.com.
I have a good contact for 1950s Buick parts
Thanks, I will forward your details and let him know. Thanks again.
It's a junkyard, not a collection.
Poor guy at 24:27 just wanted to take a leak!
International Emeryville
Wow,he didn't dispose of anything, is that up by liberty Missouri
It was in Carrollton
I was wondering myself. My son lives in Liberty. Nice area.
I am out here west of Seattle, we drove there to see in laws back in 2005 or when that big hurricane hit farther south, it was a nice area then@@harveyband9843
@@mr.goodpliers6988 Great video, Agreed, the old guys whole life is there, Looking forward to the auction video
Aren't they are mostly covertibles as you can convert them into metalcubes?
Silas come with ya?
How did JUNK YARD turn into YARD ART...seems kind of sketchy word play.
Interesting. I would say that it depends on how much art you have. Not sure what the limits are. Kinda like dogs and people.What would be the difference between a house and a dog pound. Me i say that if there are more dogs than people in one house. Its a dog pound 🤷🤣
The amount of rust and is too far gone?
Just left over trash
Caddy funeral flower car,,,?
Never thought about it but that '49 Caddy could have been a hearse converted to a pickup.
Sell the car in India
