I had an 86 Olds Cutlass Supreme in the mid 90s. Dark metallic blue, with white Pin-striping, and wire wheels. A true pimpmobile. Even when it threw a rod and was down to seven cylinders, I put another 50 miles on it, and it drove itself to the junkyard. A true legend…
Lots of them to crush. It was Pontiac's J-body, the same as the Chevy Cavalier...probably the second most popular 1st gen J-body (which also had Oldsmobile, Buick, and Cadillac [Cimarron] versions!)
ya know, i gotta say. One of the most enjoyable things i can see is a pontiac and oldsmobile get crushed flat. with them not being made anymore, each and every one crushed makes for another one that will never make it to the road again as a classic or antique. And they won't be used for parts to keep one on the road as a classic or antique. Love it!!
I don't. I enjoyed the three Pontiacs that I've owned. If my '88 Fiero hadn't been totaled by an idiot hauling a backhoe loader with an F-250, it would still be on the road, with a 190 HP Quad 4 that I acquired to swap into it 😢. My 1999 Sunfire GT was also really fun, it was a good sleeper car for Fast 'n Furious tuner Honda Drivers 😂 Sold it to my mechanic with 288,000 miles on the original engine and transmission at 16 years old...he gave it to his daughter. Pontiacs were nicer than Chevys on the inside and not as common, and you could get it fixed at the Chevy dealership 😊
@@brentboswell1294 in all truth, i never owned a Pontiac that made it to the road. I had a 1953 and a 1958 Pontiac Chieftan and a 1969 Pontiac Bonneville. All were 4 doors
I see plenty of money just being wasted in that crusher. Unbelievable. In other similiar video's even some chrome bumpers of the 60's and 70's cars are worth an easy 200 to 300 bucks
I didn't see the riviera at first, but then noticed it was the one where there was practically nothing left. "Whoever junked it has the IQ of a crayon", now that's a silly take. As mentioned, there was nothing left of it really, it could have been rusted to high heaven in spots you couldn't see, which some people on this videos don't seem to realize. A car might seem decent enough at first, but they get sent there for a reason. And it is a scrapyard, they aren't in the business of keeping everything, so it isn't as simple as keeping whatever things. Another thing, some do not realize either
Does the forklift operator remotely run the crusher, or is there a dedicated operator for the crusher? Looks like most of the cars were getting sun tanned for quite awhile before finally being squished.
With the high car prices these days. We might have to look at junkyards to find a new car. LOL Been trying to buy a new car for months but the dealers are still charging over MSRP and dealer add on crap.
As in drain fluids? yea safety and profit reason, gas, oils and sometimes coolant drains some yards also remove wheels, and catalytics during that process, either as it enters the yard or right before it dies. some yards search for any leftover small items to pawn off for pocket money. You never know what you'll find I don't know how this yard does it but they definitely sit around a long while Oh yea and the battery goes too.
I cheered to see another 88-89 Dodge Grand Caravan put to the crusher. They have reached the age for classic vehicle status. But no one wants to collect them because they were cheap to make. And cheaply built. Sad to see the ol Riv go. It looked someone started to rebuild the car. But probably found rust and rot. But they stripped all the good parts and said the hell with the rest . People cry and say it could be saved. But once one hits the salvage yard. You have only a short time and then the title is turned in and that car is clinically dead and it is all over for it. No title and it's to the car salvage line and picked over and smashed out. Car with no title to me gets gutted and built for demolition derby competitions. Once done there it's get all the equipment taken out of it and cut it up for the steel. I load all the cut up Derby cars in my 1969 Chevy C-60 single axle dump truck and go the recycling Yard.
You don't know how to crush. When you get a vehicle with a rear door hatch, you have to put that door hatch up against the side wall. Then when it crushes, the door can't open.
Another Chrysler minivan with the optional Bullet Proof Glass.
And a horrendous case of automotive cancer 😂
You’re gonna need it in the jank-ass neighborhoods most people who own those hunks a junk seem to live in. Lol

It's good to see all the good parts on the Riveria stripped to keep other Buicks on the road especially when body parts are so hard to come by.
What were they thinking? That 74 charger was only a few parts away from being an award winner in Pebble Beach.
*Used to be, you couldn't spit without hitting one of those Mopar minivans. The damn things were EVERYWHERE.*
Nearly all of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen vans are extinct at this point. Still see some 4th gen vans but they are starting to get thin on the ground
AND how many of us remember thinking(when they were new), damn - who'd buy those ugly things??!!
The minivan windows must be strong if they came off in one piece.
Sad to see that Buick Riviera get crushed 😢😭
Headlight system still appeared to be inside the fender that was in the car when crushed...one year only part. Hope it was bad!
Ahhh something relaxing about watching cars being crushed
That 65 Riviera looked to be a fairly solid car. Whoever junked that has an IQ of a crayon.
It was so good, no one wanted it....
I would have junked it too.
Seems like Pontiac Sunbird was a pretty popular car to crush.. I feel like I've seen that brand crushed A LOT..

That 74 Charger doesn't even look like a car at all a lot of the parts are gone
I didn't recognise it & I used to own a 71 Charger!

Sad seeing that Cutlass Supreme sedan getting squished. I currently own a 96 sedan and 91 coupe. Love these cars!
First Sunbird I've ever seen with a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine (must have been one of the new high-economy models...)🤣
That's where 90% of the cars on marketplace should be
I hope that Riviera was really gone over for
The Charger was picked pretty clean...
I used to have that sha
I used to have that shape Charger only mine wasn't THAT shape!
The Riviera was certainly harvested for it's parts.
I see plenty of money just being wasted in that crusher.
Unbelievable.

Great video, good to see you back with new old junk to watch get flattened!

Yes, if you pause the video around the 4:38 time you can see it's all rotted. It was junk.
Does the forklift operator remotely run the crusher, or is there a dedicated operator for the crusher? Looks like most of the cars were getting sun tanned for quite awhile before finally being squished.
I had an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme just like that red car on top of the pile.
So sad about the Buick Riviera 😢
Minnesota is hard on cars. St.Paul.Minnesota..
those nasty mid west cars!! im glad none of our cars rust down here in Texas!
The minivan looked cool.
You should really do a tour around the junk yard!
I agree and have wondered if this "secret" location is on purpose to lesson a visit from the EPA.

Imagine Jimmy Hoffa's body in the trunk of one those
Awesome video keep them coming 👍 😎😎
Great stuff!
Gracias por otro video más los otros ya los ví un saludo desde Tijuana BC México
👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️Another great video
I need a rear axle out of a Chrysler mini van I have a good running one with a toted rear axle
So, is this at French Lake Auto parts? Lots of MN cars and the Annandale address on the crusher are clues.
As this looks like the equivalent of the bailing process in the uk, do you de-pollute the vehicles before they are bailed

I love it. Get all those old cars gone.
Didn't see any 74 Dodge Charger. I think you got your videos mixed up

Crunch Time
Can you collect license plates ?

bacon 🥓 city
Still doesn't know how to crush cars. Why don't you watch g money and learn
Absolutely disgusting to crush that Buick Riviera. Shame on you.
bruh, every car in this video is a pile of rust.
