Really amazing how the years go bye , walking around in the salvage yard, is kind of like walking around inside of someone’s mind, we process a lot of information over the years, somethings are kept, somethings are discarded. Always enjoy salvage yard videos, thank you, Tony
Very well said. On a simpler note, we can also reflect on which cars we have owned, driven or been driven around in.
Thanks, Dave, I'm glad you like it because I should get several videos out of this place.
There's so many I wish I had saved out of there 20 plus years ago.

I love your Junk Yard Crawls. It's like a graveyard where good cars go to die. I know we can't save them all, but it's ashamed they are there. It is good to see someone has a place, to store these old cars, as their final resting place.
Yeah, I just wish I'd saved so many of them out of there 20 plus years ago. Although 20 years ago I didn't have any money.
It makes a man want to cry seeing these classics in this condition.
Yep, it's definitely sad.
Love them Nova's❤
Amazing the size of this yard. Lots of cool cars that bring back memories of them on the road
Yep! I've got plenty more to show if I can get back over there.
Thanks Tony. Trying to get caught up with my viewing since being out of commission for a while. Love the yard walk-through videos. Best always
Thanks, Mike. I hope all is well now. I've been having some issues of late myself that I may mention in the next video.
I’m impressed that Tony finds good stuff here. So many treasures - like that ‘59 Buick - lost to time.
I've been going to that place many years.
@@tonyscarcare5657can you say where it's located???
I will disclose the location when I'm done with the videos. Please be patient. Thanks!
@@tonyscarcare5657 ok buddy thanks,
We had a yard similar to this one here in NW Arkansas and when the old Man died and the Son got Cancer, the Mom just sold the whole yard(800+ cars most 1950-95) off to the crushers then the land to house developers. I love these old yards, but so many are disappearing with the older generation dying off.
That's sad. Thankfully, this one has the sons and grandsons taking it over.
Thanks for the video!!! I love watching videos with walk through like this, excellent work!
So from now on, I will shout out about vehicles that I recognize.
1967 Mercury Cougar. The 1968 had reflectors in the rear quarters. 1969 &1970 were a different body design. 1970 was also the last year for hide-a-way headlights.
Thank you very much! I should have known about the reflectors, too, since the 68 Ford XL is my favorite, and I knew that's when they were mandated.
I love your junkyard visit. It’s like a trip down memory lane for me not too many junkyards like that down here where I live, I could spend days in there looking.
Thank you very much! Part 2 will be posted tomorrow morning.
100% correct back when I first started visiting junk yards about 2/3 of the cars looked perfectly good just having a bad trans or engine. They could have easily been fixed and driven another ten years but a 200 dollar trans in a 200 car did not make since. I bought my first car in 1970, a 61 thunderbird for $225 and it had a new very nice paint job on it. There were half dozen 61-63 birds just in the one yard that I got parts from. Two of the cars were actually nicer than mine with perfect interiors and original but faded paint. Today it seems that cars wear equally all over and when they are ready for the junk yard they are worn out mechanically and have crappy interiors and exteriors.
Yep! There's so many I wish I'd saved out of there 20 plus years ago.
2:17 I wish more yards would lay wheels out like this for folks to pick over.
A good set of used wheels really do help save money.
Not very many were saved in this yard.
Love this old junkyard. I could poke around there all day.
Yeah, all week, actually!
Tony, I like the Montego coupe 12:01 with the 1 barrel oak powerplant 🌳under the hood. It's true that it does not offer a lot of horsepower but the torque grows with each passing day. 😉
🤣😂🤣😂
@@tonyscarcare5657 Believe it or not, trees are another major interest of mine. A White Oak growing out of a Mercury or Oldsmobile brings these two hobbies together. If you want to score the hobby hat trick in one video, turn one of the oaks into a piece of furniture or part of a house with classic, American or Canadian made Porter-Cable power tools. At this time, those tools are far cheaper to collect than classic cars in the equivalent state of repair. 🥳🥳🥳 Getting back to old cars, an Uncle and Aunt had a Montego MX wagon of the same or similar year as that coupe.
@rightlanehog3151 I spent all afternoon splitting Oak firewood today. I cut it last weekend and split it today.
Some ones pride and joy left to time and rot away. Sad that some of these couldn't have been saved.
Yeah, it's really sad. There's so many that are gone now that I wish I was able to save 20 plus years ago.
Thanks for the upload that was really cool! God bless and remember all things for the glory of God!
You're welcome, and thank you! Believe me, I've been talking to God a lot lately. 🙏
@@tonyscarcare5657 I will be praying for you! Let me know if i can help some how.
Thank you! I'll take it please. I have to get a prostate biopsy Monday morning.
🙏@@tonyscarcare5657
@@tonyscarcare5657 praying for you man! hang in there! All will be well.
Fantastic Video Mr. Tony - we made it through all 3 parts twice and you captured so much wonderful history and knowledge in these.
Thank you!
23: 04 Dodge 330 coupe matches this four door sedan. Plymouth also offered a similar model.
Tail lights are long gone. 1964 to 66 best I can tell.
The couoes were great syreet dragsters syraight from the dealership. American Automakers were great compeditors back then & civilians with a decent job could buy into the fun.
Now its sorely frawned upon.😢
It's a gearhead paradise...😢
It really is.
Holy Moly, that 62 Galaxie and 70 LTD, haha. Thanks, great video!!
You're welcome. Thank you! It's a sad situation for sure.
A '53 Chev at the beginning. They had round parking light bezels.
Thank you! I think I said 53-54.
Great video Tony. We will need to go there next time I come to visit you. Btw if they have any 79-80 Eldorado/Seville factory alloy wheel centre caps per the ones I bought in my Decono, Colorado episode, please get them for me and I will send you the $$. The Chrysler (DeSoto) was a Sportsman. The Cougar was 1967 (no side markers as these came out in 68). 👍
Thanks, buddy! If there's any of those Cadillacs, you will see them in upcoming videos. Thanks for clearing up that Cougar for me.
@@tonyscarcare5657 My pleasure. Looking forward to seeing some more videos although I see walking the terrain isn’t literally “a walk in the park”. 😀
No, it sure isn't.
27:25 you can see that in the old days before everyone had AWD/FWD traction control/ABS etc, they used big truck like aggressive tread tires on the rear to get these big boats to go in the snow.. Some were even studded I'd bet.
You're probably correct!
We have an old time warp junkyard here in Spokane Wa. It's only open 1 or 2 Tuesdays a week. A cool visit especially when you find the relic your looking for.
I love places like this.
Hey Tony, get in touch with Dalton of Pole Barn Garage, I know he has at least two 4-door LTDs, at least one is fully loaded. You might be able to get some good power accessory parts from him. He seems to be able to run across the old Fords often. Good luck!
Awesome, thank you! I'll look him up.
Just four words: COOL!!!!!
I think that's four letters! You're right, though. 🤣
Hi Tony another favourite video from you, especially when you are going back to this place. But this owner do not care four the customers when he let the trees grow inside or agains the cars.👍👍
Thank you! The original owner died quite a few years ago.
Gem yard!
It sure is some place for sure!
8:51 3 on the tree!
I know! Isn't that wild?
That Chrysler product is a 57-58 Desoto. That Cougar is a 67 Cougar the first year they came out the 68 has side marker lights. The car at 23:02 is a 64 Dodge.
We had the Cougar figured out. Thank you for the Chrysler info!
Lots of LTD's ! I think the Monterey is very rare!
I'd say you are correct. Thanks for watching!
They made GT vega wagons. I owned one for several years.
Oh wow! I reckon it's probably the real deal, then.
Good looking 97 f150..probably engine blown.
I'd say there's a good chance you're correct.
Time to bring in the crusher if you got trees growing in them get rid of them
Dang some of these cars have been there 60 years
Oh, for sure!
Keep your eye out for some very small parts for a four-cylinder 4bbl 63 Lemans. Desperately need.
If you see something like that, please point it out to me, because I don't stop and study everything.
Not a problem. Maybe in the other videos. Haven't seen anything so far. Like I said the stuff I need a small and easy to ship.
That's a 53 Chevy at 5:50. We don't have junk yards like hat in my area they keep cars for about 3 months and they are gone.
Thank you!
0:43 couldn't help but notice the fake turn signal sound. I miss the old sound of an actual mechanical relay 😞
I'm used to it now.
The car at the end you said you didn't know what it was..it had the headlight shape that were cut out might be a Willy's. Maybe 40/41.. Have to look at the back. Thanks for video..
That does make sense. No, I haven't looked at the back. There's just so much to see. Thank you!
@@tonyscarcare5657 pull up some pics . You see the shape of the lights. Might be a pickup.
Maybe 38/39
I can look again when I get back over there.
Looks like a 39 chevy
@@tonyscarcare5657
That Buick might have a 421 in it, if it’s still in there
Most of the engines and transmissions are long gone. Not all, though.
The best thing for them to do is have an auction and sell 300 cars or more a month.
I don't think they are in any hurry to sell all of them.
@@tonyscarcare5657
they must have more money 💰 than sense,
If some are over 50 years old and falling apart I would get rid of them.
It was their dad's place. He died several years ago, and they have kept it the same way. They will sell if the price is right and it's legal.
I enjoy the video of the junk yard crawl. Were is this junkyard at. I know in Kentucky they are not many junkyards anymore
Thank you! I will disclose all of the information on the last video. Please be patient. Thank you very much!
Imagine a bunch of the old cars in salvage yards got wiped out in 2008 when the price of metal skyrocketed that summer?
Oh, I definitely saw that happen with my own eyes. 😭
@@tonyscarcare5657 I saw a couple gems in the rough there that would make a nice car again
Maybe. There's not very many that have floorboards left in them, and that aren't completely chewed up with mice and full of coon poop.
It’s sad that they didn’t keep all the old cars and trucks in area by themselves
Well, at one time, they all were.
2:10 i need that Toronado wheel.
There's a lot of wheels there. I'm not sure which one you mean.
@@tonyscarcare5657 The rusty 10 hole wheel in the middle of the screen at that time mark is a 1st generation Toronado wheel. If it had 7 holes, that would be a Eldorado one.
I'll try to look at it again when I make it back over there.
Looking for a ss impala 2 door 1967 3speed with overdrive too rebuild bucket seats
I don't believe you'll find it here. Sorry, man.
I'm curious how much money the owner of that salvage yard makes per year. A cemetery for cars is only a little bit like a cemetery for people. A people cemetery charges a lot up front but there's very little (hopefully none) of the salvage revenue stream.
Do they have an inventory of the cars they have? Or does a guy just wonder around
Just wonder around, but they can tell you exactly where everything is.
How does an 04 Aveo get between two cars that have been obviously sitting for 50 or 60 years!
There's a lot of questions like that!
What's the car at 27:36? It looks English? It may have rear suicide doors?
That's coming up in the next video. I don't know what it is, but I do show it and ask what it is. I should have it uploaded tomorrow. Thank you for watching and your interest!
28:05 Is that row of Olds Cutlass cars, any diesel?
I didn't really stop to check out any of the engines. Those weren't very common, were they? I remember our preacher having a diesel Olds.
GM sold just over 1-Million diesel cars from 1978-1985, but 90% were scrapped or converted to gas by age 4-8..very problematic@@tonyscarcare5657
Where is the yard located?
I'll tell the location at the end of the series. They do not want a bunch of phone calls. It is in Southern, Illinois.
Where is this place located? Are parts for sale??
Parts are for sale, but they do not ship. I'll disclose the location in the last video. Please be patient. Thanks!
@@tonyscarcare5657 Thanks! Look forward to your videos!!
You're welcome. Thank you!
Where is this junk yard located
I will disclose the location after I'm done with the videos. Please be patient with me. Thanks!
we're is this junkyard located
I will disclose the location on the last video. Please be patient. Thanks!
("👍💰Hey guys whr is this place located")?👍💰Plz let me know!! Thanks!!👍
I will disclose the location after I'm done with the videos. Please be patient with me. Thanks!
Where is this located
I will let everyone know the location in the last video. They do not want a bunch of phone calls and prefer people to come to Southern Illinois to look for themselves.
location ?
I will disclose the location after im done with the videos. Please be patient. Thanks!
BTW= I'm looking for anything 1969 - 1977 ford Capri
I don't recall seeing one in there, but if there is, I'll show it to you.
They need to turn this junk into cash and enjoy life. They have a fortune in scrap metal .Scrap the stuff that really holds no more value for parts. Keep the best and get rid of the rest. Enjoy the fruits of your labor before it's to late and you can no longer do much. I don't understand these hoarders.
They grew up in this yard, and it's their life.
Do they sell anything and can we get info or phone number
They do, but they do not ship anything. I'll disclose all the information on the last video. Please be patient. Thanks!
You keep saying that you'll disclose the location of the yard once you're done making your videos. So, you're okay with denying the yard a lot of potential income for the sake of your views?
I wouldn't say that. They do not ship parts, so whoever is interested in anything will have to make the trip. They have plenty of business as it is.
@@tonyscarcare5657 Fair enough. I guess I just don't get the point behind hiding where the yard is. Everyday local customers are still going to be buying stuff, and I doubt a huge enough number of people will make the trip after seeing the video to hurt the making of the video any.
Well, the owners are going through some things right now, and they don't need the extra stress. I told them I wouldn't disclose it until they were ready. They were kind enough to tell me do the videos. They were not there when I did what I did. They had a couple of guys filling in. I got permission months ago. They don't need to be dealing with all of the phone calls right now. They do not ship, but people will likely drive them crazy for a while.
You focus on the worst of the worst cars. The cars that have trees growing thru, buried in the ground, unsalvagable rustbuckets... maybe edit your vids and ask viewers what they are interested in seeing? I understand the nostalgia. but it hurts more than helps those of us who are interested in restoring or purchasing vintage. If anything, showing nostalgic cars that are pretty dilapidated is heartbreaking.
There's nothing "old" in there that is worth saving! They've sat on the ground for so long that there's no floorboards left in them. You are the first one out of over 13k views to complain. I'm trying to show what I can. There's a lot!
