As a car mechanic of 31 years. I find this so gratifying to watch. I've worked on all 5 of those types of cars over the years. Makes me happy to watch them get smashed up.
They crushed it because there was no other option that was economically better. It is a very small universe of people who restore cars and buy restored cars, despite what cable TV shows would have us believe.
My friend used to call them "Chevy Shove-It". Looks like about 1/4 of the bottom car was left behind as chunks of rust. Go get a broom and sweep it into another car.
Hello it's me again guys. Here are my comments and observations on car crushing video number 49. Some of you may have observed these things all ready. 1. Must be the national "Year End Chevrolet clearance event". All the vehicles crushed in this video were Chevy based except the blue Geo Prism. However the Prism was sold by chevy dealers. 2. The rear wheels on the chevette were from a VW Rabbit. If you don't believe me look at the last car being crushed in car crushing video number 47 the brown Vw Rabbit that folds in half. You will see the wheels are the same. 3. The front driver's side doors of the Caprice, Chevette, and the Prism are missing. 4.the driver's side front wheel of the Caprice looks like an American Racing wheel from a pickup. 5 No Fords were harmed in the making of this video. 6. No Japanese cars were harmed in the making of this video( the Prism was a captive import). 7.No K cars or minivans. 8. We are going back to crushing weeds and sumac trees again. Can't blame him scrap prices are down.9. Someone cared about that chevette at one point it had parts from other cars on it. I am thinking Low income, College student or pizza delivery or a combination of the above mentioned. 10. Looks like concrete rebar or some type of wire mesh inside of the 1986-1987 Chevy Cavalier 4dr sedan and all the glass looks like it had been busted out of it. Ok guys post your love/hate comments on my top 10 list. Thank you for bearing with me.
Do you have any old Hyundai Excels or Mitsubishi Precis you could crush? And since you are in Wisconsin are there any American Motors products in that yard? Any cars that came over the border from Canada Ladas or Hyundai Ponys?
Always looks like 95% of what you crush has been in the yard for quite a long time, with all the foliage and everything attached to the cars. Am I the only one who finds these videos relaxing? Keep them coming!, btw, is this yard in Wisconsin?
Cars from first to last. 1 1977-1990 Chevy Caprice sedan more likely a 1981 or up. 2. The chevette looks like an 1981-1982 scooter model.1983 and up had a front air dam and body colored bumpers 1976-1978 had round headlamps. 1979 had these square headlights but the 1976-1978 tail lamps. 1980 they went to these wrap around tail lamps. 3.The Beretta was about and 1988-1992 model.4.the Prism was a 1990-1993 model. They redesigned it in 1994. The Cavalier was an 1986-1987 model due to the wheel design. However it could range from 1984-1987 if the wheels were taken from another car.
@@video99couk yes that is very true. Your Plymouth Cricket aka Hilliman Avenger was allready 9 or 10 years old when the Chevy Caprice and Chevette in this video were in the showroom. Everything sems to rust badly here in the United States where snow and ice are prevalent. They throw salt everywhere. It is ashame that you don't see more of the Plymouth Cricket here in the states. They only sold them from 1971-1973 at Chrysler Plymouth dealers and the Chrysler dealer network was indiffrent about servicing them. The Plymouth Cricket was victim to the US rust monster too. My dad gave me 2 used car guides from the late 1970's. One from 1977 the other 1979. The used car guide from 1977 listed the Plymouth Cricket and it had very low resale value. A 1971 model in July 1977 was only worth 125.00 retail. 1979 used car guide didn't even list the Plymouth Cricket. The 1979 guide didnt even list the Austin Marina. And they stopped importation after1975. I really liked the cricket.
Geo was GM's attempt to compete with the Japanese economy cars of their time, the late 80s to the mid 90s. GM was known for building some pretty poor excuses for economy cars prior to this and so GM partnered with a couple of Japanese manufacturers to learn their processes and created the Geo brand to try to distance themselves from their prior poor reputation for economy cars. This was also the reasoning behind the development of the Saturn brand by GM. The Geo Prizm in the video was based on the Toyota Corolla and they were built at the factory that both GM and Toyota partnered in, NUMMI which later became Tesla's factory that they use today. GM discontinued the Geo brand in 1997 and the prior Geos still in production at the time were rolled into the Chevrolet brand so the Geo Prizm became the Chevrolet Prizm, the Geo Tracker became the Chevrolet Tracker, etc. Prior to Geo being discontinued, Geos were actually sold at Chevrolet dealerships. GM also worked with Isuzu for the Geo brand, the Geo Storm which was one of the original Geos was based on the Isuzu Impulse. Now those were really cool cars, if you aren't familiar with them, you should check them out. They were the sportiest of the Geo line but I do think that the Isuzus were better than the Geo versions.
@@jamespaluch3481 Yes, the Metro was also one of the last Geos so it moved to Chevrolet also although I think that they only built the Chevrolet Metro for a couple of years before it was discontinued. I believe that the only Geos around during the change over from Geo to Chevrolet were the Tracker, Prizm and Metro. There were also previously the Geo Spectrum, based on the Isuzu I-Mark which was only around the first couple of years of Geo but I think that one was also moved to Chevrolet but not because of the discontinuation of the Geo brand, I guess that GM just thought it'd fit in better there for some reason and the Storm which unfortunately was discontinued a little before the Geo brand was discontinued. Interestingly, sometime after Chevrolet got the Spectrum, GM actually built a hot-hatch version called the Spectrum Turbo which was actually pretty cool for its time. I think that they were pretty rare and I don't know if I have ever seen one however if I have, it has probably been decades since I have and I just don't remember it. In the mid 90s, a friend of mine and I worked for an auto parts warehouse that delivered to auto repair businesses and our employer had one of the Chevrolet Metros as a rental while one of the company's Nissan trucks was in the shop and my friend drove it. He was actually very impressed with it at the time. The Metro had a pretty major refresh either right when it moved from Geo to Chevrolet or right before and he said that the thing was really peppy and pretty fun to drive for what it was. I think the car really surprised him and he was actually pretty disappointed when it had to be turned back in to the rental company. Cars have came a very long way since then so it may not be quite as impressive today as it was then but back then, it was a great little car for the money back when it was new.
Uhh...because they're rotted out and used up? The Chevette was pure crap when it was new and its greatest contribution to humanity is being crushed and recycled into something else.
It is hard to predict supply and demand. Plus some of the stuff was there for years. So if it was saved how good of quality would the parts be anyway. Watch the video car crushing number 47 put out by this same guy and observe the Vw Rabbit in the ladt part of the video. However I can understand your point of view on some of this stuff too.
1st car, something from the 60's or earily 70's i'm guessing buick or licoln, completely rusted out, plus its a 4 door, 2nd car, 80's or late 70's eco car as in will do loads of miles and not break you wallet when you go to get gas, kinda looks like the vuxhall chevette its not that car that whenrear ended would explode as the fuel tank was right at the back is it? 3rd car, toyota or pontiac of the 80's/90's 4th car ford maybe as that blue is almost ford lue, that or a honda of the 90's, 5th car honda accord? looks like it, that or a honda as that's a very much like most 80's honda's rears, or its a honda chevy cross over as i've just seen the chevy logo on the grill
First car was a 79-81 Chevy Caprice or a Olds Delta 88, second was a Chevy Chevette, third was a Chevy Beretta, fourth was (not 100% on this one) a 88 Pontiac LeMans, and fifth was a Chevy Cavalier. Most of these cars (short of the Beretta) were built after 76 but before 92.
So this is what will happen to Sally a 1998 Saturn sw2 gold beige and roof racks. She's Been In the family for 20 years almost all my life. I put in a New timing kit myself. Put over 1000 into her to save her but she keeps stalling don't know why. I love that little wagon as much as a kid teen adult can love a car. I hope I can save you Sally likely the future looks sad and grim for you. After all this time and eventful life some cars just don't deserve to die this way. Especially not my Saturn Sally station wagon. Anybody who's got ideas of why the engine shuts off after it hits operating temp please let me know.
Dave Krieger I replaced the IAC pcv valve coolent temp sensor. I don't know how RPMs are read. Either the crank sensor or trans because the car will start run at 2 thousand then idle down. People say crank sensor but I don't think it would read RPMs it that was the problem.
@@russelljohnson1303 I wouldn't rule out the crank sensor myself. Don't give up. Maybe ask Scotty Kilmer on his CZcams channel. He may even answer the question on line.
I just thought of something. When you put in the new timing kit. Did you align all your timing marks properly? You may not have something lined up properly and that is why the engine may not be running properly.

The back side of the crushed cars looks like abstract art. Great videos 🎉🎉
Wow, I think this is the first time I've seen you guys crush all one marque...you really had it out for Chevrolet that day!
I think there’s one foreign car on there, the blue one
@@lesmawson7298 but it's a Geo (which were rebranded Japanese cars sold through Chevrolet dealers) 😂
You know is rusted out, when a cloud of rust spews out of the crusher
The chevette was a GM"T" platform. Now it is an "I" platform because it is crushed.
That's funny!!
Thanks for going up close to the crushed cars..I love that part...be safe!!!
Love your videos I used to do this for years but I never recorded it I miss it thanks for sharing
These and the trash truck videos are the best!
I can't believe they crushed that Caprice. It only needed a few years in a body shop to look like new.
It needed a rotisserie restoration:)
They crushed it because there was no other option that was economically better. It is a very small universe of people who restore cars and buy restored cars, despite what cable TV shows would have us believe.
I think the same... It's a real shame.
More like a few years in a time machine.
My friend's Dad had a car that was rusted out, and he said that trying to weld patches on it was like trying to weld air.
Would've saved a lot of time if GM had installed crushers at the ends of all the Chevette assembly lines.
that Caprice would have made a great derby car
Great crushing time!
I was conceived in the back seat of that caprice.
I love watching cars get crushed! You have the best job in the world!
That’s the flattest pile of cars ever!
Man that crusher isn't even breaking a sweat crushing all that rot and rust. On a quiet night in the Rust belt. You can hear cars slowly rot away!
My friend used to call them "Chevy Shove-It". Looks like about 1/4 of the bottom car was left behind as chunks of rust. Go get a broom and sweep it into another car.

When the crusher's diesel engine revs up, it's the end for you....
Wow, a Beretta. Those are just about gone from existence. Was that the last one?
How strong is that crusher of yours?
Do you have any old Hyundai Excels or Mitsubishi Precis you could crush? And since you are in Wisconsin are there any American Motors products in that yard? Any cars that came over the border from Canada Ladas or Hyundai Ponys?
Ooh my favorite videos are the ones where the glass doesn’t get smashed until the crusher comes down. Several good ones like that here!
Yes it beats the ones with the minivans where the glass just pops out of the quarter panel with just a gentle shove.
Always looks like 95% of what you crush has been in the yard for quite a long time, with all the foliage and everything attached to the cars.
Am I the only one who finds these videos relaxing?
Keep them coming!, btw, is this yard in Wisconsin?
I find them relaxing too:)
I love to see them get rid of all this crap. What an eyesore.
Nothing like Wisconsin rust:)
At least if they have been unused for a long time which means the engine may have siezed and they maybe beyond repair anyway
No 'Vettes were harmed in the making of this video.

How many pounds of pressure does it take to crush a car?
These cars, being rotted out, probably shy of 500 pounds per square inch.
Alot
