- Hey everyone, welcome back to Iowa classic cars. Today we will be walking through a huge public salvage yard full of muscle cars. These old rusty muscle cars are available for parts or to be bought whole, and you can call the owner M-F to talk pricing. Camaros, Impalas, Mustangs, etc. as far as the eye can see!

There ain't nothing in there I can't live without. All look like old taxi cabs.
well thanks for watching
I've got a 66 Bel Air 2 door post running a 454 here in New Zealand. I love looking at these car vids, would really like to move to the U.S. one day and start collecting some of these cars. Once they're gone they're gone so try to save them all you car people watching. Thanks for your vids mate they're awesome.
Very cool!
I have driven past Doug's Four Wheeler's lots of times, and had no idea all these cars were back there. Thanks for sharing this, I may make a trip there this summer.
You bet!
Yup, you could drop $60K into one of those and have a real nice $20K car when you're done.
Its not YOUR MONEY, so its none of your business, how a car collector spends their money, is it? No, its not.
@@johnfranklin5277 Spend your money any way you want, however YOUR response to my comment has nothing at all to do with MY comment. My point was simple: one can drop a lot of coin in a project car and the finished car will only have limited value. My business is rescuing old muscle cars and I always caution my clients to consider the costs involved against the finished car.
IT'S getting to the point where IT'S more money to restore these rusty old cars than what they are worth when finished. IT'S a shame, the parts prices are now sky high. These cars will never be restored.
I could careless dropping thousands to restore it the car hopefully will stay in the family afterwards.
So you're talking about a $40,000 loss and a piece of American history?? Guess it depends on how long the buyers money is......and if it means that much to them to restore a vehicle to take such a loss.
That place is Amazing ! Wish everyone would get restored !
Edsel grills are called the horse collar design. I've walked that salvage yard 2 or 3 times, 2010-2015. Amazed every time by the automotive style changes thru the years.
The Ford Galaxy fastback was a 67'. You walked past another 67' Ford Galaxy fastback also. This was the one & only year of that body style for Galaxy fastbacks. The Impala fastbacks were also 67's. What a Yard!!! Thank you again for the guided tour. What a selection of cars! Unbelievable that a public junk yard with this array of cars is still in existence! 67' is my favorite year for American cars. Lots of fine examples out there. Hope the yard stays open & in tact for years to come?
He also walked past 2 66 galaxy 2 doors .
1 still had a good rear window which is very hard to find and very expensive new
@@timmebruer5205 A typical video of someone that doesn't know what they are looking at and doesn't care. This is just a look at me, what I did load of bullshit. There were three money cars that are worthess now, (Because the drivetrains were removed.) but he didn't notice them. (70 to72 Mustangs.) but the only reason he did this was to say he did it was to show his face and run his mouth, which is the exact thing that most people don't want.
That Gremlin was the limited edition "Levi" version
THE SAME GOES FOR THOSE FAST BACK IMPALAS THEY ARE WORTH SAVING.
The two fastback Chevrolets you called 1968 models are actually 67's. The car you thought was a Ford Torino is a Mustang 4th generation 1971/73. Nice tour. It's my version of Disneyland.
These piss me off. They show one tenth of what is there, they pass over the gems to look at crap and then show too much of what they do look at. Then there is the fact that show the names of them and license plates and then the niv tags. ALl of that is uselse especially the vin tags. They are useless after someone removes the drivetrains just like the car.
Finally getting caught up on your videos. This one reminds me of dad and I scouring junk yards in the 80s, rebuilt my first car that way. @10:40 that is a 71-73 Mustang, not my favorite but I am sure someone out there loves these.
Yeah I do like your films because of the era of cars you're into. There were so many outreageously styled cars in those days, but I especially love those Buicks. I looked for a wagon but was told I'd have more luck shitting gold. So far I've had no joy with either. GREAT FILMS THO !!!
Thanks!!
I think an Olds Vista Cruiser would be awesome, Eric Foreman's car, Remember Red & Kitty's son, boyfriend of "Hot" Donna 🤗🤣😅
It’s crazy how these beasts controlled the roads back in their day. Sad to see them wasting away.
That's what happens when a car is used abused put away wet and cheap
You are right, no one wants 4 door cars to restore. But, as the supply of 2 door cars diminish, maybe people will look at the 4 door ones.
My favorite junkyard!! Perfect&good cars!!👌😍😊❤️🥰☀️ thanks the tour!!🍻😉
As many times as I drove by there and never had time to stop.
Thanks for the video
That’s a nice yard , tons of Rebuilds , nice cars
GREAT VIDEO RYAN!!!! A LOT OF EVERYTHING. TO SAVE AND PUT BACK ON THE ROAD, GREAT VIDEO, AND THANKS FOR SHARING111
I'm in Washington state and prices are expensive for parts if you can find. Cool seeing the old iron, curious about costs in your area. Hope someone can salvage some of these before they rot or get crushed. Thanks for sharing.
Those two impala fastbacks were 67s
Love the truck section
Awesome place I wish I could go
Pretty well kept yard compared to most.
So awesome to know that some of these cars could have a chance at being restored
Really great Ryan for a young man you know a lot about cars from the 60s
Thanks Art, always trying to learn more though
Howmuchforbuildablecars?
Thank you son for going to these junk yards, with my bad knees I just can't walk the yards any more,if you see any 1970-72 Ford Custom or a Ford Galaxie 500 four-door old police car police video tape them please, or a 1972 Dodge polara or 75-76 fury1 police cars,all you have to do is look at the speedometer,it will say 140 certified calibration on Ford's and on mopars it will just say certified,that's the only 3 cars i would travel that far for orther than a 57 Ford,thank you young man it's appreciated, the 75-76 Plymouth Fury looks like Rosco P Coltranes car off the Dukes of Hazzard,only difference is the headlights Roscoe's had four square headlights the ones I'm looking for have only one headlight on each side,again thank you for your time young man
Nice yard. The one car you thought was a Torino was a 71 to a 73 Mustang Fastback, possibly a Mach 1. Earlier you had a Ford , a red one , that was a 67 Galaxie. Stacked headlights went away in 68. Nice job.
Thanks man, still learning my fords lol
No sweat. Great job. You know more about cars then some other yard videos. How can you do a yard video and say you don't know what most of them are. Why are you there ? Your doin fine.
@@IowaClassicCars where is iowa classic cars located in iowa.
@@nealkohli5326 im up by des moines!
Ok thank u 4 leeting me know.
Dang .... Makes me want to make a road trip and get one of those first gen Camaros
No 1969 Camaro......
Brilliant !! I think your vids are BRILLIANT.
Thank you!!
There was a junk yard near dixon or donahue IA that had mostly 60-80s cars been a few years since I've been out there but it was always interesting walking through the yard
Hm i wonder if its still there
@@IowaClassicCars been probably 10 years since I've been there not sure they are operational, think it was koesters wrecking , all the cars were scattered throughout the woods hard to see on Google earth
french lake auto in annadale MN may be your best bet for old iron, their getting more stuff everyday. its were i brought home my 75 Cadillac a few months ago. they got 59s there
Man if those cars and trucks could talk!
Exactly!
They’d probably say “get me the fuck outta here”
Some potential revivals there! We love our Chrysler products!
Nice video. If I ever hit the lottery I'm going there and buying at least 25 of them. 👍 Scratch that I'd buy the whole property.
Good luck!
Wow very cool very nice beautiful
Thanks for video very nice
Had to subscribe after this one, great content
Thanks man!
12:25 that camaro is a good rebuild candidate
Pretty cool junkyard for sure. They are getting hard to find. You never even mentioned the 65 olds 442 coupe you walked behind. 9:20 Also a car that was under appreciated. do they sell any cars? thank you for the great vids, you sound like you enjoy making them!
yea they do
Thanks for telling it like it is, your compliments come because you did not use the generic, catch all phrases describing vehicles as “Barn Find” or “Abandoned”: It is sad to see these precious relics sitting there, but that they have not met the crusher is remarkable...
Thanks for the comment ☺
So much history.... I wish I could get every impala out there 😢
You and me both!
You went right past a nice red camaro!
What some people dont know is,as bad as these cars look,they still have a molding,glass trim,that people need to finish their project!
I need to get a hold of that place .
Cool Yard. Lot's of Good project's
Absolutely!
At this time you still can find the goodys from before the 70s. Try to buy them and store them for a few years...! good luck and thanks for your fim on youtube regards from Europe !
Thanks for watching!
You should buy the Grand prix. Wheels are expensive and rare and It looks restorable. Came with 421 and were very fast for big car.
( I love all old cars and trucks !!!! )
Been their !!
Back in my day when most of those cars hadn't even been built yet, a back seat was the hotel and it wasn't uncommon to see a girl with the back of her dress all bunched up in the back. People don't realize how easy it is to fix them up with all the new floor pans and sides, tops, firewalls.... you name it and they make it somewhere except for the firewall to A pillar bulk head and the serial no. that went on it. I got hold of a chevy tri years rig that had tree land across the windshield and the body was soft there anyway. I found a four door with mint top and firewall + pillar and hung it together and did the floor pan as well. Guy was telling me I was wasting welding gas. I put it all together ruff in two weeks an the next two weeks were just making it right. Between the two I had less than a hundred dollars cause the one had four speed in it so I had to buy that. One months time and five hundred in paint, welding materials and acetylene for my welder/torch. I put it up for sale in a out of town magazine and thought that would sell it but no bites so put it on market place and it sold for twice asking price in three days. Fifteen thousand dollars clear in the pocket... do you make that kind of money every month??????? I was also selling long and short block chevy and ford engines and making clear three thousand every month I was in business. They were top self engines with no short cuts and really ran good so they sold themselves. All told for one year and a about two months of just driving around looking in back yards for cars that could be towed away... some even paid to haul off. I had put in the bank forty five thousand an I hid the same amount in my back pocket. I worked when I wanted to, did what I wanted to and made more money than any job I ever had and wasn't as tired. I worked for my very wealthy brother who threw more money away than I will ever make as he owned rentals (houses) and so money wasn't a problem. I worked for him and he told me if I put a motor in his little 450 case dozer that he would give me fifteen hundred dollars.... I worked in my yard, shop, and in three days had old one out and new in running. Forth day was just cosmetics an when he saw it his mouth dropped. Thing was I knew him well and once running good, parked it out back for two an a half weeks. He thought I was still working on it so never bothered me. He paid me and no problem peeling off hundred dollar bills. After he had it for a while I asked him if he had more work and he said yes but it might be too much for me.... what is it... yada yada... his excavator needed help so did it and it paid even better but he caught me messing around and ask me if that was how I make money and I told him the truth... if done too soon then the pay goes down and all the others get more for same job that I do. So showed it to him now working and he paid me but no more work cause he wasn't going to pay a hundred dollars a hour for work/LOL. Its all in presentation.
That white trans am is a rare bird
Yip
Hey Ryan, great vids. Any leads on a 62-64 Chevy 2 nova bucket seat parts car? I need the mounts on the floor that the seats mount to. Thanks for any help.
Too many treasures!...I'd love to grab that Willys Jeep wagon at 16.56, and about 50 other cars in there.
Thanks for watching!!
Just watched this for the second time lol, would love to go chevelle picking, could even come out with a nice roller. And for them Camaros, I’m pretty sure it’s all the emissions crap that make them less desirable.
All those Jeeps would fetch a nice price here in Sweden
Lots of second gen TA's you know your cars too love to have that 1970 chevelle
It was a '71.
That yellow rim is worth a small fortune
I liked the video,love walking around old salvage yards, you ever check into drones
Yeah im lookim into a drone, they are just so expensive
Reminds me of a good ranch ...camp hope ohh bell...
thanx for the tour man i like far far frm US but i wish i could come over and save some of them :(
Thanks for watching
None of those cars are ever going to run again. The body may be there, but major components like the dash, lights, seats, all that stuff that's not there is impossible to locate.
Hate to admit it but im afraid you're right. Sad to think about that though.....
Great video man! I saw the 1960 through 66 gm four wheel drive trucks! I am very interested in parts for those! Can you tell me where that salvage yard is? Thank you very much!
Hey buddy I just ran across your video hear!! I live in Iowa & I also have been to that junkyard several times!!! He first started out with the 1967-1972 Chevy trucks & blazers when he was in high school!! You definitely didn’t show any of those vehicles that he had!!?? I would have definitely loved to see what all he had left for parts or hole Vehicales for that year also!! Did he still have any trucks or blazers left from 1967-1972 Chevys????? It’s been several years since I’ve been out there!! I guess I don’t have a lot of money & almost every time I went out to get stuff from him he had the stuff but would only have enough money for one or two things on my list instead of being able to afford everything on my list!! He’s definitely a nice guy & he definitely started with the trucks that I absolutely love the most also!! Will you ever do a video on that years of trucks there for everyone?? I definitely no that there is a lot of your subscribers that would also love to see those trucks also!! Let me no please!! Awesome video keep up all the good work!!
Not too many honestly thats why i didnt show them lol
The red 59 Chevy wagon is cool
Hello
Do you know if I can find a 67 Plymouth fury 3 back bumper there.
Thanks
I might have to buy one for a project hopefully they sell whole with tittle
If he’s got a restorable El Camino in there I’m all ears. I’m looking for a project.
I’d love to pick up That 4th gen in the video
Is the Junkyard still in Melborne between DesMoines and Marshaltown?
The Mustang jokes never get old lmao
Hahaha
I wonder what it would take to get ones hands on a rolling full size j20 or an old Cherokee. I like those big jeep models but I need something, idc if it even has a seat. Just want a fair body and axles, the rest I'd put together over time. I miss salvage yards, family owned one for 60 years. But I broke my back in 2010 and cant get around in places like that. Anyone help? Or an inner front fender in good shape for a 67 to 69 ford galaxie.
So many guys are scared of rotten floors. And four door cars. While two door cars are better looking and where the money is at. If you just want a hot rod for your own enjoyment. The aftermarket is incredible. And the internet has put everything within reach. Just build your own car and don't pay attention to what you're buddies say. Have fun.
How do you differ Belair from Bescayne?
Just discovered your channel by accident. I'm up here in northern iowa. I've never been to that yard. I'll have to check it out sometime
Thanks for watching
@@IowaClassicCars how much is your friend looking to get for the gold 63' impala SS?
The 66 belair 4 door was mine in highschool
What's the story on/with the '62 Buick Invicta/Wildcat?
Walks right by an early bronco without stopping to check it out 🙄🤷
Ehhh broncos have never excited me at all
Whats the name of that place I'm in tx looking for a 67 Pontiac firebird
Really great selection than like the shivvies
Iowa wowzaa
Reverse migratory run 4 cali
Ryan thx good jokes 2
ICC yea
SOME ONE SHOULD SAVE THAT 1ST. GEN CAMARO IT DESERVES SOMEONE WHO APPRECIATES HAVING A SAVIOR. TO GOOD TO SIT AND ROTT AWAY.
I had a 62 and a 64 biscayne that took a mile and a half to top out at 72 mph
Wow how many complete vintage GM AC units do you have?
Is he reasonable on prices, there's several cars I'd like to get
Prices must be high for all that stuff to just be sitting there. I'm assuming, but I could use that 4.11 9"
AT 9:33 THE RED BUICK SKY LARK 66 OR 67 I BELEIVE THESE ARE TOP OF THE LINE CARS TO HAVE.
Would like to have that 63 2 door biscayne
what was the purpose of a 2 door post? It couldnt have been for looks...
That (Torino) I think is really a fast back mustang 76?
Best comment at 12:37! 15:30 is that a Bronco or an international Scout? I agree about the 74 to 80s Camaro, lots made and plenty of potential but all were factory small block so no braggin rights like having a factory BB gets you with the older cars. Of course you can put anything you want in them, but the big dollars at auctions still seem to go to factory BB cars.
Im honestly not sure what it was!
I live about an hour from there, I always liked that he doesnt stack em like alot of them do. There used to be a bottle green 72 charger SE there, looks like its gone now. We had 2 yards in Atlantic, Ia that were similar, gone now. I wish i had the money to grab one out of there. But I'm a loser. Good video. Thanks.
The short box international truck in the beginning of the video makes my pants tight!
what yr was the studebaker pu
So where are theses cars located in Iowa. Me and my grandson's are looking for projects to work on
Google "Doug's 4 Wheelers". Right on the 4 lane that runs past Pella.
Do they have any chevelle
Missed a few nice Fords & Pontiacs
I love 4 doors.
Were all of those vehicles for sale? Were they for sale to be parted out or could you buy the whole vehicles?
Whole or parts they will sell anything
Amazing that GM would go through the trouble to stamp different rear quarters just to save a nickel for a third tail light on the delray/biscayne..
I thought, only the Impala had 3 tail lights on each side, I had a Biscayne, Belair 2 were on each side, correct 🤔
Was there any 60s fastback 2+2
no
Do you know anyone or were you can find a 1974-1978 ford mustang ll cobra ll V-8 302 original for sale? Or any other fastback with V-8 302 like stallion, mach1, king cobra, t-top, convertible, hard top coupe? Or keep a eye open for one.
We’re are you guys Located
At one time he had a 68 ply belvedere 4dr that had a factory 4 speed
