Junkyard Exploring: Finding Abandoned Project Cars
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 08. 2023
- You never know what you'll find while exploring a junkyard! We definitely came across some rare gems and project cars in this yard! I still can not believe I found yet another Nissan 240sx S13 that still had the original ka24de with a manual trans in it. Not to mention the nearly complete Acura Integra with the b18b1! Its unfortunate so many of these cars have met their fate so early on...

Junkyard videos are a whoooooole vibe. Could watch these for hours.
facts, we need more on yt tbh. i’m like a kid in a candy factory.
Bro who you telling. Shit stayed on my tv till I had finishing all of his vids lol.
Facts!!!
Facts
Glad I’m not the only one! I could spend my whole day off watching them
The Fiat convertible at 2:24 onwards is an OG Fiat 124, the model that they tried to revive recently using the ND Miata platform. I'd never expected to see one in one of your junkyard videos, nowadays they are pretty rare even in Italy
cool I have a friend who owns a restored fiat spider I saw it recently and it looks cool.
That car is beautiful. Hope someone Restomod it. With V8
I thought it was a MG midget at first
Such a shame it ended up here
Your junkyard videos are easily some of my favourite you put out, seeing all the cool ass cars that just get scrapped hurts but it's nice to see them getting put to use.
dude that ford probe at 11:45 made me rewind, I thought I saw a damn e31 😭
SAME
As a guy from Spain, seeing that Fiat 500 in the junkyard was so weird to me, I thought they were only sold in Europe, lol.
it's a pretty common model on car rentals here or in cities that have tight roads and streets.
Most models are a 1.2 NA btw.
It’s a fiat 124 spider, not 500
@@iacopotuttino5515 Keep watching dude, almost in the end of the video he's showing a yellow Fiat 500.
@@Ryoneftw yeah, excuse me, i was wrong haha
No problem my dude ;D@@iacopotuttino5515
I finally got to know how old you are :D
I was born in 94. 90s kids FTW!
I like these junkyard videos, actually my career started in a junkyard as a mechanic
90s gang! 🤘
That's a pretty neat start to your career!
12:25 Dude I could really take a lot from that probe, I can barely find them in any junkyards in my area, but it’s a bummer seeing that one junked :(
maybe ask him on insta if he could take off a few parts for you?
See this why you are one of my favorite youtubers you show respect for cars that arent of much interest to you. Im trying to teach my son to respect all cars because at some point each car was someone pride and joy. You are helping show him that. You are inspiring a younger generation.
3:59 That looks like a Buick skylark, either 1966 or 1967. Those GM A-body cars can look good, and it would be awesome if someone brought some Japanese style to one.
The wheels are from a late 90's GMC Sonoma ZQ8.
The ford probe was supposed to replace the mustang. That's the reason the fox body style went on for so long. Ford had no plans to continue it but it gained a cult following and when the probe was announced as it's replacement the fans went crazy.
It interesting to see how other places junk yards are compared to the ones I have. We have NO organization at all. so its an all day search for anything.
And most of our yards are pre 2000's stuff. I think it would be hard to find anything newer.
DUDE, you should totally do a "Across the country Junk Yard Tour" checking out yards from different states. That would be fun!
That was my favorite color of 240SX. It was the one I always wish I had found.
Instead I had a burgundy 92 fastback with a manual; it was my first car, and only $500 when I bought it with my own savings at 15 ( _Tokyo Drift_ wouldn't release til nearly a year later).
I still regret selling it. The paint was rough but the body was straight, no frame rust, and I had painstakingly swapped the entire interior from another junkyard 240SX (including an uncracked dash and unripped bucket seats). I was in debt and I needed to not be, and I was a student and working part-time, so my hand was forced. Oh well, that was then.
Now I have a $900 89 Prelude Si (also manual, also red), so at least I have something to have fun with.
There was a orange Sentra se-r spec v right next to the blue Altima at 14:15. That’s a gem of a car.
@14:52 Mike get the van and get it back on the road you need it for a work truck and would be awesome to see it back on the road.. awesome video as always buddy
21:51 “these couplers are really hard to find not cracked” throws it back on the floor of junk car😂 me asf
😅
21:41
thanks for stopping by the camaros! i have a 94, and there are literally none around me in junkyards. gotta drive about 3 hours, one way, just to look at a couple
Saturday afternoon enjoying some junkyard content LOVE IT
Watching ur videos in the morning is officially apart of my routine 😂
13:27 Out of all the junkyard trips I've been on, I have only seen 1 Miata, a 1990 that had a Fast & Furious style catfish looking body kit and a spray paint yellow paint job
That sounds insane, I wanna see it 😅
I know exactly what body kit you're talking about, big surprise, it's the Veilside kit! It's really ugly lmao.
This is the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning i do appreciate the similarity between the 240sx Hatchback & Ford Probe Hatchback
Man you crack me up, 24:47 del sol…. With the jesus fish” 🤣
That was a nice walkthrough visit at the junkyard. Some of the cars have better paint condition than my daily driver ☺️.
I would love to build a 190E someday (probably my favorite Mercedes of all time); the dream is to do a Evolution II style DTM kit and swap in a 1uzfe (just for a little more power, but mostly for reliability)...but that is just an empty dream for now. Hopefully later on.
Thanks for sharing!
I love the junkyard videos!!
So for the Sebring Coupe, it was a venture with Mitsubishi and Chrysler/Dodge, there was the Avenger Coupe, the Sebring Coupe and then of course the Eclipse. My younger brother actually had a sebring Coupe for a good while until he blew the engine lol.
For the PT Cruiser, they all had that really cool shift knob on the autos and manuals, possibly the only cool thing about them. Now one thing super rare to find with them in a junkyard is the hatch versatility shelf! I’ve only ever seen one in the junkyard with it still in the back, but cool nonetheless.
love the junkyard videos, some random thoughts throughout cause why not.
3:28 an amg car, those have some nice wheels. that's all i got to say about that tho, couldnt tell anything else about them.
3:57 looks like a Buick Skylark from 67. Had a slightly different front end from 66, back when facelifts were introduced practically every year and new models every other lol. Usually can identify just the years of these cars because mid 60s-early 70s were very angular in design, then during the early 70s gas crisis hit and everything was weird (see: amc gremlin, mustang ii) , and then the 80s came around and everything was boxy and less angular. 90s got bubbly (catfish camaro, sn95 mustang), and then the 2000s saw a little more joyous designs. that's typically how i just remember things.
5:39 yeah pretty standard for american cars. we used those things til like, the mid 2000s lol.
11:30 love the sanyo stereo. sanyo made absolute junk throughout their whole life but i still love them for that. i regret selling my sanyo mbc-555, the computer was so bad they had to make detailed guides on how to make a lot of software work because most of it was natively incompatible. just a fun thought i have.
1st time I came across ur channel I binge watched all the junk yard videos. Now I wait for each video to come out.
Your junkyard videos are my favorite thank you :)
Hey I was born in July 95 too. We said that in unison. 😂
Pretty interesting seeing a walkaround of a US junk yard by someone who is into Japanese stuff. Usually people are fawning over the old American things that I know nothing about.
Its neat to see all the differences the USDM models of the japanese cars have.
My uncle's hyundai tiburon had MUCH MUCH worse rust than that integra it almost rusted to the fuel cap but he fixed it. He didn't want to throw away that car. :)
i rlly do love the junkyard vids, hope to see more!
"OOW. Oh this thing is cool!" 🤣
The excitement I felt when I opened this app and this was the first thing I see, day maker right here.
The one you said looks like a sentra is actually a Cadillac from GM. Us Europeans have that as Opel Omega, this particular one is pretty much the ''1st gen'' Opel Omega :c As a 2nd gen Omega owner it always excites me to see those cars around the world Idk why
So strange seeing those badged as Cadillacs. They were pretty popular motorway patrol police cars in the UK but otherwise didn't sell so well so pretty rare.
@dan44bmx in america they are cadillacs. The newer Opel Omega is Cadillac Catera for example. The newer opels are buicks afaik.
@dan44bmx Omegas did fall off yeah sadly, I wish they kept making them
Always good to see new video, cheers!
19:36 that broke my heart, i had one as my first car in the same red tone
Man 190e is what they made the EVO out of, that could be a cool project.
my mom had a black Ford probe with a red cloth interior and some aftermarket chrome wheels on it.. I was just a little baby back then so I don't remember it but I think it'd have been a pretty sweet ride for the time
Junkyard vids while getting ready for work, let’s go
these typa videos gotta be my fav fs ❤️❤️
Junkyard vids are a whole vibe
Fun fact, fwd sr20s do work with rwd, the vvl head make more power than th standard. Idk if it works on the camelback sr20s. Fun stuff prizza!
True! I knew about the head swap, but they require some serious machining work
I don't think the block will work at all tho
yeah no place for mounting starter@@PrizzaMike
"these are rare to come by uncracked" *throws it harshly* 😭😭i love ur vids bro keep it up
Here we go junkyard vid!!!💯
I love exploring kunk yards or abondon cars are places becuase you can find a lot of cool stuff!
My mom had an Altima of that gen, same color, too.
It was a good car.
Got stolen in 2004 and stripped.
Those 1st gens you don't see anymore.
That fall was like a jump scare 🤣 Lowkey felt like I was falling too
Rip to the classic times indeed
Its a good day when prizza uploads!
another cool junk yard video that 240 looked cool definitely need to get that harness pull the side windows hard to come by them with the 240 logo keep up the cool content bro love it
✌
Love the videos, bro, keep up the good work.
Love the extended videos I can watch parts of it and save it for later
always a good day when theres a junkyard video :)
Those Harley F-150's can be really cool, I forget what years but I know some came with a supercharged 5.4L, same motor as the SVT lightning trucks
Love all your videos man hell yea
I love being early to these bro, these videos are just amazing, I could sit down and watch them forever
12:02 they where sold in germany as opel omega in australia as holden commodore in the uk as vauxhall omega and in the us cadillac catera they where made in germany with small optical changes
Interesting! I had no idea!
You could get one with a big ol V8 at least in the uk
@@anusername8350Likewise in Germany - I heard That V8 was a BMW engine
I was a bmxer back in the day but I rocked the element backpack one of the most comfortable backpacks I wore
i travel an crush cars for work at different junkyards after years its still crazy to see piles of 500-1000 cars
Junkyard vids are vibez
Sweet another junkyard video . word of the day " RIP "
RIP in peace 🙏😅
I really did the junkyard vids I spend hours looking around when I go
Nice, I love junkyard episodes..
12:01 That is opel omega 2nd generation pre facelift, that car is rwd. They was selling them in UK under Vauxhall, and in USA they sell them under Cadilac or Chevrolet. Nice video👍
DAMN that 240 find is noice
Finally junkyard exploring 🙌🙌
junkyard vids are amazing
Coffee ✅
Junkyard vids ❤️🔥
That old rusty car that he found I think it’s a Chevrolet SS that he can think of but still it was an amazing video. I love people who go through junkyards and look for cool but rusted old cars
p2 volvos had hydraulic power steering, for electro\hydro you need p1 or p3: second gen s40\v50\c30\c70 or second gen s80\v70
It's like meditation, thanks Mike.
8:03 That is a swedish 2JZ, you can push really good power out of those for CHEAP. Comes stock with 301 Horsepower. Bit more boost and you are in the 400-500 hp Range. A lot better than 1jz's
We need more junkyard video's of you!!!
These are the best videos fr
Lets goooooo a new junkyard video 😃
7:22 K5 Blazer (desirable actually) if frame is solid (it wont be) The tops were valuable and could be stolen easily, so they etched the VINs into the glass
Your correct that was a k10 chevy blazer with the piss on ford sticker. Good ol sk8 backpacks, me n my buddys all rocked dakine backpacks that also hold your skateboard.
Them old Toyota vans actually had the 4 cylinder Celica/Supra SR5 or Toyota .8 engines with Webber set-up, and a non slip Posi rear end!. They were no joke on the streets back in the 80s and early 90s... You should really try and find one to test drive Mike! Trust me it's worth it! They're fun.
if you happen to come across a first or second gen nissan xterra, check the trunk for a first aid kit. those usually sell for around 300-400 dollaras.
They came with an OEM first aid kit?! That's insane!
@@PrizzaMike yessir! Very weird but cool cars. Been looking for a first aid kit for my grandpas for a while,his is about to hit 300k!
Man I'd love the sail panels off that fiero
This channel is taking off 🤘🤘🤘
the van at 15:00 is a nissan vanette c22 i used to own one it was beaten to hell when i got even though it needed few hours working on it every weekend to make it run again but i just loved that van, i miss it and wish i had the time and money to fully restore it..
Best car CZcamsr hands down
Love the video ms in the yards
the sanyo stereo at 11:31 plays mini discs and cds! never seen that before!
That Mercedes 190 E, the the jug u said was oil that was antifreeze just made me laugh a bit had a bad day needed that lol 👍
This was a really fun video to watch. Just wish you were more forthcoming about the location of these yards.
12:03 That's an Opel Omega. I think Cadillac struck up a deal with them to rebadge it and sell them at the states.
Hey Mike, that old orange car is a 1967 Buick Skylark. My first car was a ‘72. Love those things.
I had to laugh a bit when Mike said 80's... but he's a relative youngster compared to the car, so understandable... Are you sure it's a '67? When Mike dipped the camera inside briefly I noticed it says GS400 on the glovebox which I assume makes it a Gran Sport 400... Assuming wikipedia isn't wrong, they're saying that was offered in 68 and 69.
@@Papajin68 Yeah 66-67 look very similar but judging by the grille, this one is a ‘67 and the GS400 option was actually available in ‘67 as well. If it’s a real GS then that’s a pretty rare car.
Ahhhh yess. Another junkyard video
These was super cool awesome vid
Been meaning to hit up some local yards for some 4th gen f-body cloth seats before they're all gone. They are lighter than 3rdgen seats, except the rails. Combined, the lightest combo.
That schoolbus sure a good project for a drift transporter & DIY RV...
Those old Toyota vans are dope, they all got recalled because they were prone to fires. My dad had a really nice one back in the day.
Man wish I could find a single s13 in my junkyard, I need that chassis harness lol. Last time there was a 240sx in my junkyard it was stripped in days!
thanks for the great video , tbh i was worried with all that rust and you touching every rusty car out there tc dude
That eclipse is in the right spot those years and style was said to be built by Chrysler
9:20 That Mazda 3 SP23 is a pretty rare trim. I owned one.
The V6 Camaros came with drums in The back and the V8’s had the disks
Good info!
Hey Mike I think the reason the eclipse was in the domestic section is because it's technically a dsm which was American only even though it's technically Mitsubishi
Your follower from norway, keep it up man🤟
Old cars look so cool generally, I don't know if I'm biased because of my childhood, but I prefer these looks to the new ones
Hey, what's about your Intergras? We didn't see them lately, or I missed an information?
