Classic Car and Truck Junkyard Tour. Which Vehicle Should We Rescue?
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- Hi folks. I went out to a couple junkyards today looking for parts for an upcoming top secret project, so I figured I'd take the camera along and do a quick tour. Both yards have a good selection of cars and trucks from the 1920's up to the 1970's. Long story short, I found a vehicle so pathetic that I had to rescue it! More metalwork videos to come, but I thought it would be fun to take a break from that to check out some of the old tin we have laying around in Saskatchewan.

I would like to vote for the following vehicles: 1967 Chrysler 300, 1962 New Yorker, 1960 Olds, 1967 Polara, Nash Ambassador, '60 Chevy, '59 Pontiac; Model T cab, '53 or '54 Ford, several of the early cars, as well as some of the Chevy, GMC and Ford trucks
Haha great choices! I just need unlimited money and space!
@@CarterAutoRestyling There's also a Mercury pick up around 5:20 that looks pretty mint + a green disco era Mustang around 7:30, a 77-79 2 door Diplomat around 8:20 that would make a good Daily, the red 2 door '69 Impala, the '61 Fury with the crushed roof (piece of cake for you)....I think you need those as well.
The '67 Polara I mentioned in my previous comment is actually a '68 2 door Monaco. It's one you don't come across too often.
Ok get them all! Lord doesn’t tell us how many are too many only the wife does! 😥 But I firmly believe she is wrong 😑
My guess a 1947 to 54 GMC or Chev pickup. Six bolt rim five window, probably a nine foot box you plan to shorten. My favorite. I look forward to seeing it. Take care Kyle.
Thanks Randy! I can never have too many 47-54 gm trucks!
@@CarterAutoRestyling
Kyle… I have too many.
Sigh.
Thanks for the tour Kyle. As a service to the younger members of your audience you illustrate that cars and trucks actually had different shapes and style. What even happened to style?
With every single car I saw, I heard a little voice in my head that said, "a guy could fix that up" Which proves how sick I am. So with that in mind I am unqualified to guess which piece of garbage you fell in love with. I also realized how unfair life is that all my local junk yards like that are gone.
Same
But your a sick neanderthal Randal, just like the rest of us, it's a nice sickness.
Hey Randahl! It seems we both have the same sickness. Now if only we had unlimited time, money and space!
I hear ya. Mr. Webb out in Ellicott, CO passed away a few years ago, and he had one of the last cool old yards around here that I know of. It was picked over but still lots of cool old stuff.
Looking forward to seeing more. ❤️✌️👍😎
I was just about to complain my week was going too well and for you to hurry up and post something/anything and WHAT? WHAT??
You read my mind!!🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍etc
Glad I could ruin your week haha
Great junkyard tour! I think the maple leaf at the last would be an interesting one to restore
Thanks! The Maple Leaf definitely needs to be saved!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Are we still talking about vehicles that need to be rebuilt, or something else? ;-)
The trip through the salvage yards was more fun than the law allows.
Certainly some very nice pickups.
I would guess that it is the Nash, that you could not leave behind.
Glad you enjoyed it! The Nash was cool, and the complete lack of floor would make great youtube content haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling Floors are over rated!
So many cars, so little time! I am going to say you are picking up an orphan car, either the old Studie or possibly the Nash. A couple of the old trucks really caught my eye as well! Oh, to have yards like that in Ontario!
We are very lucky to have a few yards like this still! The owner of the second yard has actually shipped a lot of trucks to Ontario
@@CarterAutoRestyling I can see why, such a goldmine of rust free parts. When I moved to S. Ont. in the early sixties, any ten year old vehicle looked much like that Econoline pick up you showed....things have improved, a bit. Thanks for that tour, love it, brings back many memories.
maymont is incredible, so many amazing trucks! i'd take any of them in a heartbeat.
So would I! Just need unlimited money, time and space!
I enjoy junkyard walks. I learned today there were Mercury pickups in Canada. The blue Studebaker caught my eye, no clue what ya bought but looking forward to the videos.
Yeah the big 3 all had Canadian only trucks, Chrysler had Fargo, Ford had Mercury and Gm had Maple Leaf.
@@CarterAutoRestyling Would have grabbed that wall hanger "Maple Leaf" tag.
The 1962 Chrysler seemed to give you pause. Unique styling. A man of your talent could make that something to behold.
It was a cool car for sure, not sure if it would fit in my garage though haha
It was eerie having no voice or music as you walked around the junk yard.
Based on the appearance of the glass at the beginning of the video, I’m guessing the GMC truck early in the video. But I’m a newbie here so I might be all wet.
Yep it's hard not to recognize those one of a kind side curved windows.
I didn't pick up a Gmc this round, but there may be some Gmc action in the future?
Pickup truck HEAVEN ! I know I will have dreams about this ! Thanks for sharing !
Hope they are pleasant dreams and not nightmares haha
Judging from the glass I'm guesing 47-54 chev/gmc pickup....althou there were too many cars to pick just one....what a candy store...thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
So many Trucks and so little time or money . I never saw a Maple Leaf truck Probably because I'm from the states. So that's my vote for what its worth . I love the early 50s GMC so any of them would be great
The Maple Leaf is pretty cool! They are basically a rebadged Gmc with Chevy engines.
Ford galaxy convertible is my pick. Yours probably the maple leaf or gmc truck at first place
The Galaxy convertible was neat, although I'm not sure I need one!
Interesting to see what vehicles you find in wrecking yards in different parts of the country...you can see what brands of cars were popular in that area.
Around here the cheapest cars were the most popular!
Maple leaf! 👍🏴
That was definitely a cool truck!
I can easily see your love for classic cars and trucks leans towards the 40s and 50s. Man you got to see a lot of cool stuff, thanks for sharing Kyle. Don’t matter what you bring home, I’m gonna watch all of it. I’m learning lots from you, even made my own bullseye pick from my old lawnmower handle after seeing how yours works. 👍
Thats awesome you made your own bullseye pick! Thanks for watching!
You lingered a long while on that '54 Buick sedan...
It was neat, although I'm not sure I need a Buick in the collection...or maybe I do?
Is it the GMC 5 window that Scott at CWM looked at?? For the car to save I pick the Nash at 8:55 !
The Nash was really cool, until I got close and realized it had no floor at all!
old American cars and trucks are the most beautiful ever produced in the world, you can stick you're Lamborghinis, Porsche, Ferraris and tiramisu's lol. A work of art all of their own even in that condition, I don't know if I'm the only one but they all seem to talk to me. God bless America, we don't have yards like that anymore in the UK, legislation prevents it. Good job I don't live over there, I'd have to find a way of getting them all home, especially those cute model T type, almost nothing left of them to see but still give a big impression of standing tall. thanks for taking the time to video and share. 73 from UK
I wish I could save them all! Quite a few vehicles from here are actually getting bought up and shipped overseas although I imagine shipping costs a fortune. Thanks for watching!
Cool tour. I liked plenty of them. The 49 Ford looked good and the T coupe
That Mercury cabover is pretty cool!
It was!
I watched you chop that 33 5 window, you made it look easy, you must of put a whole lot thought into that. I don't think anybody has chopped like you did,
Haha I just kind of made it up as I went! Thanks for watching!
The shoe box ford at amegoes looks like a good start The convertible Olds would be my choice . The 73/79 blue Ford pickup at Marmot would have my attention aswell.
The Ford pickup was already sold, Shoebox was cool though. The Olds convertible had a little too much sketchy old bodywork to be worthwhile for me haha
I'm working on a 1950 ford Woody wagon at the moment it's a full restoration that's nearly done.
Kyle thanks for bringing us along. No yards like that exist anymore here in the US Midwest ,,, brings back good memories. As for what car you chose, I don’t know but I’m sure it’s interesting. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching Russ. These yards are disappearing fast! We are lucky to still have a few
Kyle, I'd take anything in those yards . I think you bought a 5 window, you could do anyone and it would be a Great video!! Thanks for sharing this, I wish I could have my choice of one! Keep up the Great work!!
Thanks! I'd love to save them all!
Blue 1952 pickup...by the fence, the light duty one..tons of Chevy pickup parts from ate 1947s - early 1955s
That one definitely needed to be saved!
I was thinking it was one of the many pickups but then that Maple leaf at the end caught my attention, even before you got close. That's the one.
Lots of votes for the Maple Leaf! It was a cool truck for sure!
@@CarterAutoRestyling sounds like if you haven't bought it you ought to 😁
Thanks for the walk around Kyle! It seems that most of the "older" yards in my region are long gone. Although you guys have long winters it seems things aren't totally gone (and an easy fix for a man of your talents)!
Our climate is extremely dry so the pre 1960s stuff doesn't rust out quite as bad. Thanks for watching!
From the thumbnail I was hoping late 40’s early 50’s F1. Opening of the video there looked like a 53-54 Chevy coupe. But I’m gonna guess the early 80’s Caprice in the first yard.
Haha can't go wrong with a Caprice!
Who knows what you've bought but I think you SHOULD buy a golf cart to get around that Calvet yard. I'd have gone for the blue Stude or the Nash.
The Stude and Nash were really cool and need to be saved!
G’day Kyle. Thanks for the tour. Love what you do. There were quite a few old trucks worth saving so I look forward to seeing your next project. You’re a great teacher. 👍
Thanks for watching Colin! I hope to have an update on the new project soon!
Well I think you brought the the truck there at the end but me I be dragging home the 52 Buick so many good projects there 👍🏼take it easy mate 👍🏼🍺😎🇳🇿
I figured you would like the Buick. Thanks for watching!
Love seeing the old cars! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoy the old stuff! Thanks for watching!
I don't care which one you bought...just as long as you have a bunch of rust repair/fabrication vids of it...can never have too many of those...
Well you're in luck because I bought a real rust bucket!
That 49 Ford looked inviting.
It was suprizingly decent
Thank you.
the blue Studebaker. for sure.
Other than the forklift damage it was in great shape!
@@CarterAutoRestyling did you get it?
amazing salvage yard
First time viewer, and new subscriber here. 2:38 and also at 17:33 OMG I'm in love with those GMC Apache trucks with the "bug eyes" (or some call it "butterfly") hood!!!!! 18:23 That old Sheriff's car would be a piece of awesome yard art.
Thanks for watching! I'm a big fan of the old Apache trucks too!
ASMR for the deaf. Love your videos.
Haha, thanks for watching!
I was out at the Maymont site in November, 2020. Seems he had a lot more vehicles, mostly trucks, back then. Which is odd, since he was asking arms, legs, and organ donations for every heap on the lot. There was a Studebaker ute that looked a likely candidate for revival, but my heart wasn’t in it.
He sold a lot of them out east last year. I have bought a few from him as well, prices are reasonable compared to what others are asking around here.
Hello from Southern Ontario.
*"Can you tell if they 'Sell and Ship' PARTS?
....as I need some from the 11:15 min mark('74-'75 Black G.P.)"*
*"Thank you & Cheers"*
@@kanadianbacon7733 No idea. Sorry, man.
Sooooo many treasures!!!! I think the Chevy Pickup at 17:48 is your next project.
Stay tuned haha
@@CarterAutoRestyling Argh, you're taunting me to keep me watching! Well it's working! LOL
The T-bird and the 2 door Ford next to it were among my favorites. The 73/79 Ford pickup caught my attention too, I've seen worse looking examples still on the road. That Olds convertible looked like a possible, but rag tops are so much hassle. Interesting tour, thanks for sharing.
The olds convertible was a little too far gone, although it could be brought back with a good parts car
Can't even begin to make a selection, was mesmerized by all the rusted metal. I could actually hear the metal rusting in the background or was that music to your ears? The tall " T " in yard 1 and one for spares in yard 2 then again still to much metal to catch your eye. I guess I'll just wait in suspense along with everyone else.
The T coupes were actually Dodge's. They had potential though!
Stand corrected lol
I got my parts ‘58 Pontiac out of Maymont last fall, just around thanksgiving. He has pretty high prices listed, but cut me a particularly good deal on the parts car. Never been to the amigo`s yard. My vote is the chopped Pilot Butte sheriffs car, grew up around there
He doesn't seem to have any trouble selling stuff, but I'm cheap so most of it is out of my price range
I`m pretty cheap too. Got it for just over half what he was asking and he loaded the car on the trailer for me.
The white Ford cab forward econoline? Nice scrap yard tours. You should have spoke and told us what make & models they were. (Most I knew)
I would say the 36 Maple Leaf but I am partial as I will be tackling my grandfathers 1936 Maple Leaf dump truck this summer.
That's really cool that you have one! Good luck on the restoration of your grandpas truck!
I wish we had wrecking yards like that in my neck of the woods. I did see a 36 pickup, those are getting real hard to find, thanks for the junkyard tour!
Hi Ken! The 36 was a big grain truck, but the cab and front sheetmetal is the same as the pickups. We are very lucky to still have a few yards like these here!
With so much treasure hard to decide, I would say you picked up one of the old trucks that you showed near the end of your video.
You're not far off!
I like the studebaker
Me too!
Really cool yard lot of vehicles
We are very lucky to have a few yards like this still!
Now those yards are great for picking! Saw quite a few I wouldn’t mind having because a guy could save them no problem as long as there’s one solid piece. 😂 Down here in Arkansas USA most people were poor and would end up scrapping a lot of vintage tin. So classic car graveyards are few. That’s why dad and I are making our own to our family’s disappointment. 😂 I couldn’t even guess on which one you would’ve picked up. The few that stood out to me was the 1960ish mercury m100 (USA didn’t sell them here, although one or two do pop up), the Oldsmobile Toronado because who doesn’t like old school front wheel drive, the 1938/39 ford truck, and just any of the random late 40’s early 50’s f1s. Any way it goes, I’m excited to see what you snagged up!
That's awesome your making your own car graveyard! This part of the world was hit hard during the depression so people never threw anything away and the thrifty mentality got passed down through the generations. It's not uncommon to find 50s and 60s trucks still being used on farms.
@@CarterAutoRestyling No doubt! I still see some 70’s/80’s trucks being used on farms in my area, but for some odd reason people like to buy $90,000 tin metal trucks to show off what they don’t own. 😂 And thank you for supporting my own poor decision making! Vintage tin is getting harder to find, so collecting when I can is a fun challenge. Fixing them on the other hand is going to be way more fun. 😁
I like the Maple Leaf truck
I liked it too!
Although the Shoebox Ford looks decent too...
Old junk yards are so cool...you would look good in that brown wagon
Haha it would make a great parts hauler
Great video, almost all the yards like that in the uk are long gone, many happy days in the 70s and 80s scrapyarding for me. I liked the metropolitan in the first yard and the old maple leaf truck at the end. I dont know the names of a lot of the American cars.
Love your videos though Kyle, fantastic work.
Thanks for watching! We are very fortunate to still have a few yards like this!
i hope its nice and rusty whatever it is .
It is!
The blue Studebaker @ 8:00 was sweet.
Did you get the 5 window @ 17:50? I saw some corner windows in your shop.
That was fun. A lot of familiar old faces.
I like seeing all the old Mercury trucks as well as the Maple Leaf.
Dis you get the Maple Leaf? That would be pretty cool. Rare.
The corner windows are for another future project....I did really like the maple leaf though...stay tuned to find out more haha!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Tease, lol.
My guess would be the Studebaker.
That Merc Cabover was pretty cool…
It was!
The Buick @16:10, Brent at Halfa$$ has one with an LS . Like those cars.
They are really cool! I'd have to keep the straight 8!
Another awesome video Kyle. Man I wish we had yards like that on where I live. That Cash for clunkers bullshit that happened killed all our yards in my area. There's so many potentially awesome vehicles in both yards. I'd be in heaven if I was in either one of those yards. I saw like five maybe even 6 vehicles that I would love to have. You have a vast array of different style vehicles in your collection. So trying to guess what you might have bought is beyond me my CZcams friend. For I would have bought as many as I possibly could. I totally enjoy your channel Kyle. I am so damn glad that I came across it. You always seem to surprise me. Keep up the awesome content. He always keep me riveted. I'm definitely a lifetime subscriber. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The GMC Flatbed @13:02 didn't look bad if you're interested in those. Saw a few other GMC's that might provide missing parts??
The yellow chevy body @ 14:02 looked pretty straight and solid for what was there??
Did see one more 5 window towards the end of the video. Think it was green but couldn't tell if it was a "pickup" or, if so, what size.
Your pick was probably "none of the above"!!
Good choices, although the next video kind of reveals what I bought haha
I wish our salvage yards had that much cool stuff
What a challenge!! I really didn’t see one that met the criteria of “was used at the fair in the 5 swings of the sledgehammer for a dollar booth” so I couldn’t pick it out!😉
Haha good thing it's an older video so it doesn't take too much detective work to figure out what I bought
the old Maple Leaf near the end
You showed the glass, so my guess is one of the late 40’s/early 50’s Chubby 5 window pickups. Personally, I’d have gone home with the cab and front clip of the Green 53 Ford at 12:00 and the white Merc COE right after. The Second yard had way too many cool ones to list, but a lot of them looked really rough for me to tackle.
Edit: I guess my guess was late. I’m catching up on videos and see you posted the next video already. Lmao
Haha well you guessed correctly!
It's the Chevelle you stole the top from. You feel bad for hurting it's feelings and want to show it some love. 🤣
Good one!
Haha some people were upset I cut the roof off a pristine Chevelle so I had to rub some salt in the wounds.
Nice. You don't seem to be the typical car guy, favoring the unique ones. At least part of that Chevelle gets to live on. The donor did look beyond saving.
Gav said I had to subscribe 🤣👍🍺🇳🇿😎take it easy mate.
Thanks for subscribing! Gav has a great channel!
that Murcury truck is a rare one!
Yeah they were a Canadian only truck
OK. A minute in and those side windows in your pile are telling me you got Scott's brother in law's GMC 5 window. What do I win??
I liked the cars in the Maymont lot better. Only some kinds of people like to go shopping in old junk yards. Most folks want to shop in malls for brand new, finished goods. We don't have much in the way of junk yards like that in the California foothills where I live, but we do have lots and lots of older guys who have cherried-out antique cars with expensive paint jobs, nice upholstery, tricked-out engines -- the whole bit -- tucked away here. Quite a bit of money gets spent on these cars.
Kyle thanks for the tour through the field of dreams and some nightmares! Walking the yard must be like going through a candy store for a skilled guy like you. My guess on the vehicle you bought is the 1936 Maple Leaf. Whichever one you bought I'm sure is a great choice and will now be in good hands! All the best in motoring, Kelly
Thanks for watching Kelly! I wish I could save them all!
I think possibly the Buick or the 49 Ford
That last one would be my choice 🔧
Good choice!
My guess is the 53 Chev pick up listed at $1,500. The glass you showed at the beginning, indicating it was for a summer project, will work on that truck. You're lucky to have those kind of junk yards in your area. My area (Vancouver) no longer has any :( Love the videos!!
We are very lucky to have a few of these yards, although they are disappearing fast. The glass is actually for a different future project than what I just purchased.
Love that 50 Ford car...!
Plenty of choice there mate, and nothing like that yard near me ...
We are lucky to still have a few yards like this!
I’m jealous of all those cars. Funny to see a dodge caravan amongst the older unobtanium 👍
It was a little out of place, but one day Caravans will be rare too haha
Go for the Nash ambassador!
That one does need a good home!
My bet is you got something via another famous Canadian CZcams channel! You may have known about far longer than we have.
Shame to see that blue/white '53 Studebaker 4dr in there, tho the passenger side bottom looked to have suffered some physical trauma. Loved that white Mercury C series!
Yeah the Studebaker looked like a really clean car before it got impaled with a forklift!
@@CarterAutoRestyling Ahh - I was wondering what happened there, sadly seems like lots of yard employees don't care about classic cars enough to be careful.
No idea which one of the beauties you chose, but I’m sure you’ll have fun with it and thank you for the tour, like everyone else, certainly don’t find many yards like that these days, only modern junk that you can’t fix body wise unless you’ve got skills in paper mache, maybe origami or maybe possess a hot glue gun, blue tack, gaff tape and super glue, but I’m
sure you could pick up those skills as we’ve seen your lovely work with rebuilding drills etc and offering sacrificial items to the fire gods, love it thanks for sharing 🙂👍
Haha I've payed my dues fixing modern junk in the past, never again! Thanks for watching!
Maple leaf was cool too.
I think the 50 Chevy pickup and make it a 5window. Thanks
I do like the 5 windows! Thanks for watching
I'm thinking you grabbed the T at the first yard but I saw about 25 of em I'd have brought home, I love a 1 ton truck
The T was actually a Dodge! Thanks for watching!
I was thinking the Maple Leaf also, as already mentioned. After all, it was one of the last you videoed.
You wanted to be sure there wasn't something else you missed before a final check? Lol
Hell ov a great junkyard
In need the tail off of the 58 4 door with the roof cut off. Too bad I'm in the us lol
The blue truck at 11.38 is your next project 🤔 I’m from Uk, it’s amazing how many cool old cars you got over there....I’m sure you could fix up any one of them
We are lucky to have a few yards with the old stuff still! Wish I could save them all
you should save that blue Studebaker
So I'm wrong. Still a really fun video!
You could be wrong, but then again you could be right? Only time will tell!
Can't believe you were out there holding your toolbag
Somebody has to!
Ooh, that ‘60 Mercury truck at 5:32! That needs to be rescued!
That one was way too cool to be in a junkyard!
I am about 20years behind now but Ray Woods had a great yard to look in . Tobin Lake by Nipawin
That was a fun trip. A lot of good vehicles that need saving. My vote is for the Maple Leaf truck that you showed last as you are in Canada. Whichever it is you will turn it around and make it a usable vehicle again. PS. It could also be that T with the trunk sticking out and no boot.
I wish I could save them all! The T is actually a dodge
