@@danh2134 ..How can people buy them when 99.9 % of these were never advertised for sale !!! Lots of cars belong to a person and they die/sent off to retirement home and the family just calls the crusher for them as they just want to sell the home and clean the yard up quick..They also junk antiques in the home/yard just to clean it out and sell it fast !!!

I understand that there were a few odd pieces in the mix, but that pile looked like it came out kind of lopsided. Was that the usual forkloader driver in this vid?
Great video! Although I couldn’t watch the Black Grand Prix get crushed! 1: i love that generation GP even tho they were shit. 2: my pontiac is on its way to the crusher after the motor went up in flames
Vans, station wagons, hatchbacks, suv, and crossovers should always be crushed with the ass end pressed firmly against the rear of the vehicle so that the rear hatch, doors, don't accidentally pop open during the compaction process.
I did not know that the engines were crushed with the car. They used to always pull the engine and transmission out first. Does the crusher crush the engine block?
At our yard in Minnesota all engines, transmissions,fuel tanks , catalytic converters and tires are pulled .NO EXECPTIONS !! If wee see a rare car with valuable parts or glass they get pulled .we have a large parts yard too
monarch1957 It’s just a frame, but it looks like a couple of appliances are in that pile like a washer or a dryer and a chest freezer (it’s a freezer that is about waist high, looks like a big rectangle, and it has a hinged door on the top.)
There were a few molecules of steel left on that Buick that hadn't turned to rust yet. Someone (not me, because I know fucking nothing about cars) could've reconstituted a whole car from that! HOW DARE YOU?!
They would prefer to make a fast buck. They don't know when or if someone is going to come and say I need this part for that car. it sucks it creates a shortage of parts

US EPA regulations, and on some later model cars the petrol tanks are plastic PVC, and or if some are made of a more precious metal than steel, they will separate them and scrap later with more bulk for a better price. The purer the grade, the better the pay.
Let's see...a nasty, gnarly old Ford Minivan? Goodbye! A frame that has seen better days? Bye bye! A rotted-out, old Buick junker that's half-destroyed and beyond rescuing? Adios! The Gran Prix was a decent car when it was in good shape but even so, it's hard to mourn the loss of a typical 90s jalopy.
From the front of it I can tell it has the front like a 1980 Chrysler Newport but it's compact size and 2 door coupe body-style suggests that it is more like a Dodge Aspen. Only I cannot find a photo of a Dodge Aspen with a quad-headlight front end!
It's just that whenever I think of the LeSabre I think of the 1973/74 full sized boats! Like mention Dodge Charger and NOBODY thinks of the 1977 Dodge Charger! America made some truly forgettable cars in the late 70's! Or as George Carlin said "Here is the 1977 Piece of SHIT!" There were some memorable cars though like the 1977 Trans Am but even they were only memorable due to Hollywood!
Vehicles used in suicides and in violent crimes, like kidnap murders and drive-by shootings etc, should be quickly destroyed like this. Junkyards should be REQUIRED BY LAW, to immediately crush such vehicles upon arrival at the junkyard. A father of a teenage son, who killed himself in his vehicle with a hose attatched to the tailpipe, would get closure if he could see the vehicle that his son killed himself in, immediately crushed. Such a person would get even more closure he he could push the button himself. Road Rage vehicles should also be destroyed when seized from persons arrested for aggressive driving.
Screw that, the car didn't kill the boy, the boy killed the boy. Most people with a lick of common sense realize that, the rest want to take their pain out on something - which never makes them feel any better.
I wanted a car-junkyard since I was a child :-(
We all wanted that too
2:47 Oh no! They crushed the moon rover.
The 77-79 LeSabre was a 100% rot box. Everything here was prime crusher food.
And it’s frame was falling out as it was being loading into the crusher. ☹️
That's too bad for that two-door Grand Prix. They were cool cars.
Keep on crushing. Happy New Year. Great video.
Awesome video!
Ford Aerostar, 7879 Buick LeSabre, Pontiac Grand Prix
So what kind of crap does everyone want to hoard off these cars this time?
poor buick, I realize its way past saving, the whole engine compartment was hanging on by a thread, anyway the front grill could have been saved, maybe the window glass????
That Aerostar crushed real nice!The LeSabre was rotted out .. Badly
Car number two came with novel seating!
Sometimes pressing up against the side of the vehicle while it's getting crushed isn't always good enough.
That Grand Prix didn't go down without a fight...
The Buick lesabre coupe was nice.
I'd love to have a job like that. Smushing cars all day, what's not to love!
The windows on the car go pop, pop, pop all day long.
The buick had a rotten frame. Looks like it had extra parts
Happy Crushing New Year! 🎉
hard to believe at one time, these all were brand new cars that someone loved and cared for, that grand prix didnt wanna die
There are no flat tires on this white Ford mini van, because the wheels are removed before putting the vehicle onto the car crusher.
9:15 what a noise,it sounded like a boing!!
Davenport ! Get Mr Griswolds car and bring it back here now !
Need to see how the glass bends before it breaks
The frame on that LeSabre rusted in half
Could you show us a video where you don't push the B pillar in? I was wondering what would happen.
Car will collapse out instead of in
What a ashame seeing some of these 70s and 80s cars getting crushed
a shame you didn't go buy them

+01trsmar you should open up a junkyard , that way everything comes your way and nothing gets crushed
@@01trsmar blah blah blah 🙄🙄

Sure looks like old Buford's unit .now where's that tickturd junior 🤣

I just parted my 01 out. They are really bad about rust under the doors the car is starting to warp from it.

No. It can't even crush a rusted out chassis

I think it would be cool if they crush a car will it running.
Not much left of the second car, can't tell what it was.

Is it this guys first day driving???
We all must learn and its not a race to see how many cars we can crush in a day
If you think its easy you do it
oh no they crushed old cars
Wow that Buick was rusted something horrible! Salt is nasty for our hearts and our cars!
93 Ford Aerostar, misc. GM frame, 78 Buick LeSabre, 89 Pontiac Grand Prix
Thanks
What junkyard is this I want to know so I can see the cars before they're all gone.
There were a few molecules of steel left on that Buick that hadn't turned to rust yet. Someone (not me, because I know fucking nothing about cars) could've reconstituted a whole car from that! HOW DARE YOU?!
Why do they crush it when you have usable parts?
They would prefer to make a fast buck. They don't know when or if someone is going to come and say I need this part for that car. it sucks it creates a shortage of parts
Do they strip the interiors out B4 they crush them?
Frank P nope.
Frank P no just gas tanks
U don't get more money if u scrap engines and frames. Different from bodies?

Good to see nothing of value crushed. Just 80s crapboxes.
I wonder why they don't fill the vehicles with scrap like the petrol tanks to increase the weight & get rid of it ?

Thank you both!!!!!!!!!!! I will google it! Happy new year from germany!

Thanks!! Cool photo from Buford T. Justice :-)
That crusher dosnt seem as powerful as some. It seemed to be struggling at times whereas others would have done a better job?
I'm not very impressed by it either. When it can't even crush a rusted out chassis that's kind of pitiful
See Cowboy Car Crushing, that poor dude has a very bad crusher. This channel is much better equipped.
Hey! I'm....In here! Cuffed to the steering wheel of this Grand Am! Hey! Stop! I am still here! WAIT! What.....are....you....doing!!!!
What was car at 5:00
77 Buick LeSabre 2 door.
Please.....don't crush me in this van! My....diapers! Wait! Stop! Stoooop!
W00t first comment!
Why dont they put all the old gas tanks in the a van then crush it
Explosion hazards.

Jacky Claiborne your comment escalated so quickly
That would be extremely wasteful.
Don’t blame the cars they didn’t do anything wrong!! It’s the driver/passenger who should be punished not the car.
Screw that, the car didn't kill the boy, the boy killed the boy. Most people with a lick of common sense realize that, the rest want to take their pain out on something - which never makes them feel any better.
