We know that, but it doesn't make watching all those classic cars get crushed any easier, when most of them could have been restored and back on the road. Living in upstate N.Y. where they use tons of road salt in the harsh winters, those cars as rough as they looked, are still a lot better than anything you will find up here in ''The Rust Belt.'' I would have liked to go wherever that was with a car carrier trailer and filled it with as many of those Mustangs as I could get, along with the Cougar and the ''Rat-rod'' Fairlane wagon.
@@CowboyCarCrushing hey crushing mustangs that are beyond repair then melt them to turn them into classic car parts BOOM 😆 I love them but nature would of gotten them before I ever would
All these negative comments should be directed to the Mustang owner, not Cowboy Car Crushing! These cars were left outside so long they rotted into oblivion. Note the wheels on the Mustang inside the crusher at 24:30. That car sat in the dirt for years!
Man...I would sell parts or the whole car before crushing and trashing them...its easy money there and a lot of happy people able to find parts for old cars...Easy!!!
I now of a guy that restored a 66 Fastback , that consisted of a roof , deck lid, and firewall. No doors , no floor . They walk Ed it out of a bush, fifteen years later it was looking like a Hertz rent a racer . Car has won numerous trophies.
@@CowboyCarCrushing those guys having you crash those cars don't know that they can make more money selling those cars than scrapping them poor man that pass away must be trying to come back from dead to get even for the smashing cars especially the mustang's to bad u in Texas I need a 85 Celica for parts..?????
You guys are not very smart for crushing old cars no wonder why there is less parts available for the restoration guys heck you can't even buy lots of parts for restoration because some are discontinued yeah you better put the tire and dirt in there as well. You should of crushed imports first .
I blame the owner, he or she might have had hundreds of offers over the years from people wanting to buy them, but I bet it was the usual response of “No, I’m going to restore them one day”.
Almost all of them were stolen. Back in the 60's & 70's there was a bunch of theft rings all over the midwest and they parked the cars out in the country typically in woods and out of sight from anyone. The cars were stripped of all important parts and left to die. The land owner cant sell these because the minute someone runs the VIN it will come up as stolen or suspicious and he will end up being investigated. So you will say, "cut off and remove all of the VIN's and then sell the cars". Cant do that either. Almost every part is stamped or has die marks that ties the car to the VIN. This is not the Cowboy Car Crushing fault. That said I do know some car hoarders that are watching some very nice and desirable cars rotting in their back yards and are planning on scrapping them instead of selling them for someone else to enjoy. Why do some people want to see history destroyed you ask? Because at the end of the day they are pricks.
Communism Man fr I thought the same and bruh I rebuild classics if I'm buying fenders form a 66 idc if there stolen the original owner is probably dead god for bid but yea and probably already got there insurance claim so in all honesty I don't think it matters half the guys I work with just want straight parts that are from oem mustangs and ect

I think this is a fascinating situation with all these classic mustangs AND classic Japanese cars, almost more rare than the stangs in my opinion. Do you know (and are you permitted to share with us) the more in depth story behind the person who collected all these vehicles and why?! Seems like a incredible story for hemmings classic cars publication or whatnot. I hate to see these get crushed, too, but totally understand you are doing your job man!
Mr cowboy I’ve got to tell you I am a jealous man watch theses vids you put out in new to the channel and hooked! I love the amount of sheer power that sweet loaders got at the flick of the wrist. So cool I’d pay money to just hang on the side and watch and munch up some cars. Done lots of demolition derby’s so I enjoy the snap crackle pop! Keep making videos and be safe brother Dave
Those cars do not belong to me. I am compiling to the customers request. If they wanted em hauled off then that's what would have been done. They said crush them.
i wonder why they where all just in that field and so many of them too. Feels bad to see em get crushed but hey gotta get the bread somehow. Great vid.
Saw this tagged in a Mustang forum on FB. Congratulations Cowboy on giving a collective heart attack to all us Ford boys. Bravo sir, well played. "The horror... the horror"
Man I wish I could buy some of those off you before they went to the crusher. My dream car is a 1965 mustang coupe inline 6. Some of those were beyond saving. Do you sell these?
Well I'll just say that there are people out there that would take on the hardest of challenges, and also that I cried watching this. One more thing, I know this is your job, I respect you for it, and you just want to share it to the world, but because of you guys, some car guy teenagers say their dream car flattened into oblivion.
They weren't mine to sale. I sure feel shamed when my kids got full bellies. I'm just doing a job. And if i refused there would be someone else in that chair in 30 seconds
I remember train loads of 1966 mustangs being shipped out of the Ford Dearborn plant as they went though Allen Park. Now most have already been crushed.
Wow!! Thank you for watching and commenting. My kids and i live 🤔 3,4 miles from the GM plant that makes the Chevy Suburban we see em on trains and trucks and in huge parking areas. We might have the same stories about those mustangs you saw. Cars do create memories
Comments made much chuckle. This cars were picked over and left in a field to rot. Unibody cars sitting in a field in the dirt for a decade or more are not restorable. As for parts, try removing rusty parts. You'll spend hours removing parts after you heat the bolts and screws, break most of them, etc. Then try selling the parts and listen to people whine. Shipping costs too much, the part is too rusty or has a repair, blah, blah. I had lost of mint 1949-50 Ford parts left over from my restoration. At first I tried listing them for every little money, then for free. People wanted me to package parts, arrange for shipping, drop them off to the shipper etc. for free for free parts. Sorry, I have other things in my life so I gave some away and scrapped the rest. Too many people on here watch Rust Valley Restorers or other shows and think you can drag a car out of a field, spend $10K and flip your heap for $20K at an action a few months later. Reality is you'll spend more to restore a car you got for free in most cases than its worth. What did make me upset was the idiotic cash for clunkers program. Drivable and often decent cars got crushed for a tax credit that lower income people could have used for a few more years.
Wtf bro, cars are like humans, they have a life, when they get old, they die, and new cars are made to replace old ones, its sad, but thats what happens with humans and u didnt complained about that, and Cowboy isnt the only crushing mustang in the world, i respect cowboy bcs, if u read other comments, he needs to work to feed his sons, so thats what he needs to do, he didnt decided to crush them, but the customers did, pls dont complain about people that u dont know about his history
These do look like they were too far gone to be restorable. But how cool would it have been to take the front end off one of these and use as a wall ornament? Now that'd be a man cave feature!
That was definitely a 1968 Cougar. It may have had a Cobra Jet engine, or someone just just stuck a sticker on there. Who knows. Would have been nice to look up the vin for it.
LOL I used to drive an old Celica saloon like those so they would be 80's cars. I'm really surprised they hadn't completely rusted to nothing by now. Mine was rusting away very well 20 years ago :)
@@guardian8319 here's the deal. You are right on point. Them folks could have made a 100 different phone calls before I showed up.

But some how Mario and me ended up there. So just what are we to do?? We're just 2 dudes trying to get some work done. I tell you one thing. I could have just turned the comments off.

There is no clickbait on this channel. Crushing cars is what this channel is about. Not very often do we crush a field of classic cars. More often its just regular 10 to 15 year old junk cars. I hope this video does not discourage you from watching other videos on the channel
It seems like there are lots people in the USA hoarding old cars for some reason I can't understand. They don't even try to sell or restore the cars, just keep them rusting outdoors.
There's this show on netflix. Rust Valley or rust to restoration. Something like that. This dude is doing the same thing. Now he fixes a few. But the rest are going to end up like these
Glad to see that I wasn't the only one that noticed the keystone mags,$500 each I'm not seeing that and as old and without care they are now wall hangers but good catch tho
Actually there are a lot of guys putting old mustangs over late model Mustangs of late and they don’t need the floor. The shame is thay are coupe's not the fast backs that are more popular. The trade off at least is less of means more valuable are the survivors.
The crusher is the same width of and 18 wheeler trailer. If anything is sticking out after the crush then it will also be sticking out going down the highway during transport to the mill. As that lid is coming down everything is trying to squish out. You poke em and push em to keep it all inside the crusher.
Think that was just a sticker, the one above it was a Crane Arms decal, probably a stock 390 car and rusted through, but it had parts on it someone could have used.
I never been in a classic car before the only classic car I rode in was the old family Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme my Uncle had an Old Chevy Malibu I remember riding when I was a baby & my aunt has an old Audi 5000 from the 80's

Yeah that's a '67 Cougar, shame that you couldn't keep the roof, it's very hard to find a rust free roof for a 1967 to 1968 Cougar. Most of them had vinyl tops and they rotted out. KEEP ON CRUSHIN' COWBOY!!😁
How much on average does the cars that are crushed sale for?
We dont need original hard to find odds and ends when restoring cars...we can get awesome reproduction parts from China that don't fit worth a shit!!
Seek and ye shall find
No care of trying to save some of them if he was in my town I'd run him out of town
You ain't running nobody no where

I'm sorry man but I can't see classic cars getting crushed I just think that's a shame those are classic mustangs people could use the parts the trunk a lot of sheet metal off those cars to save other cars lost all respect for you dude for crushing classic cars
What am i suppose to do. Are you for real. I got kids to feed. I'm supposed to show up to a job site and see classic cars and refuse to crush em? If i don't crush em some else will. I lost all respect for you. Who puts value of a junk rusty rotten car over keeping kids bellies full. They are cars. Rotten cars at that. Lost respect you don't even know what to respect
We all have kids to feed but some things are just wrongyou could have taken those classic cars back to you yard and sold them for parts or some of them could have been restored you would have made a lot more money than you would have the $300 you got for crushing them
@@williamdouglass7864 do the math William. Any guess how much it cost to haul 23 cars back to Dallas? Try 200 bucks a car. 2 hours one way. So 4 hour round trip for 1 car. How much in fuel? How for wear and tear on the equipment. How much for an Operator and loader to wait for the wreckers to show up and load up? William you lost all respect for me so why am i even explaining it to ya? This is once in lifetime deal. Been in junk business 15 years and ain't never run across a situation like this. But i will repeat myself one more time. If I didn't do it someone else would have
you crush the mustang with more stuff in it than mine you got two hundred bucks for it I got 5000 I think I made more than you
@@williamdouglass7864 good for you William. You win. Thanks for watching and commenting 👊👍
How much on average do the cars you crush sale for?
I really don't keep up with the price per ton. That's between the owner of the cars and my employer. I'm just a worker Bee
Dont blame him for squeezin those ponies, blame the owner of the land for not doing something better with them.
🤠👍 thank you
I just bought a 65 Mustang hardtop 17 days ago in very good condition. Keeping the original 200 and C4. Can't wait to get it on the road. This is hard to watch.
How's that car? Hope you are enjoying it. I got a project that i have lost the desire
@@CowboyCarCrushing Hey there, the Mustang is up and running, just need a new radio!
@@Fotosaurus56 aftermarket 🤔
@@CowboyCarCrushing oh yeah, not NOS. One that will fit without cutting the dash up.
As someone once told me in Tyler if it got to sit long enough to be fully stripped and rusted to hell it's time to crush it.
What do y'all need the VIN numbers for? I've noticed that in a few video's how you and Mario pick up the VIN before its crushed.
Do you mean the license plates?
@@CowboyCarCrushing Maybe? I don't really remember anymore lol
Is in scratched Mustang glass worth any thing.
Pretty sad ngl, but I can't wait to see you crush some Priuses
I need to find out where your at and bring my trailer down for a classic truck or two.
Nature restored, the old man getting a decent burial and everyone getting a payday. It's a win-win for all.
This is one of my all time favorite CZcams video's. Mustangs getting crushed. So relaxing and satisfying.
I think this is a fascinating situation with all these classic mustangs AND classic Japanese cars, almost more rare than the stangs in my opinion. Do you know (and are you permitted to share with us) the more in depth story behind the person who collected all these vehicles and why?! Seems like a incredible story for hemmings classic cars publication or whatnot. I hate to see these get crushed, too, but totally understand you are doing your job man!
It’s good to see a drivers POV.
Looks cool
That's the exact experience i want the viewers to have 👍😀
Mr cowboy I’ve got to tell you I am a jealous man watch theses vids you put out in new to the channel and hooked! I love the amount of sheer power that sweet loaders got at the flick of the wrist. So cool I’d pay money to just hang on the side and watch and munch up some cars. Done lots of demolition derby’s so I enjoy the snap crackle pop! Keep making videos and be safe brother
Dave
"Money ist happiness" as hes crushing someones real happiness while getting paid 😂 ohh the irony
Those cars do not belong to me. I am compiling to the customers request. If they wanted em hauled off then that's what would have been done. They said crush them.
i wonder why they where all just in that field and so many of them too. Feels bad to see em get crushed but hey gotta get the bread somehow. Great vid.
Saw this tagged in a Mustang forum on FB.
Congratulations Cowboy on giving a collective heart attack to all us Ford boys. Bravo sir, well played.
"The horror... the horror"
Momma always said "give em something to talk about"
Man I wish I could buy some of those off you before they went to the crusher. My dream car is a 1965 mustang coupe inline 6. Some of those were beyond saving. Do you sell these?
So much cool stuff. Stinks it's getting crushed. Keep it up cowboy! 👊👍
Well I'll just say that there are people out there that would take on the hardest of challenges, and also that I cried watching this. One more thing, I know this is your job, I respect you for it, and you just want to share it to the world, but because of you guys, some car guy teenagers say their dream car flattened into oblivion.
Mark there are still plenty out there
should be ashamed crushing these vehicles, could have sold quite fast
They weren't mine to sale. I sure feel shamed when my kids got full bellies. I'm just doing a job. And if i refused there would be someone else in that chair in 30 seconds
"I heard you got a '65 Mustang back home! What kinda motor does it have in it?" - Thirty-two foot Oak.
Hahaha....awesome comment 👍🤠👊
I remember train loads of 1966 mustangs being shipped out of the Ford Dearborn plant as they went though Allen Park. Now most have already been crushed.
Wow!! Thank you for watching and commenting. My kids and i live 🤔 3,4 miles from the GM plant that makes the Chevy Suburban we see em on trains and trucks and in huge parking areas. We might have the same stories about those mustangs you saw. Cars do create memories
It is sad to see them crushed but at the end of the day these really arent extremely desirable. Atleast they arent fastbacks.
Comments made much chuckle. This cars were picked over and left in a field to rot. Unibody cars sitting in a field in the dirt for a decade or more are not restorable. As for parts, try removing rusty parts. You'll spend hours removing parts after you heat the bolts and screws, break most of them, etc. Then try selling the parts and listen to people whine. Shipping costs too much, the part is too rusty or has a repair, blah, blah. I had lost of mint 1949-50 Ford parts left over from my restoration. At first I tried listing them for every little money, then for free. People wanted me to package parts, arrange for shipping, drop them off to the shipper etc. for free for free parts. Sorry, I have other things in my life so I gave some away and scrapped the rest. Too many people on here watch Rust Valley Restorers or other shows and think you can drag a car out of a field, spend $10K and flip your heap for $20K at an action a few months later. Reality is you'll spend more to restore a car you got for free in most cases than its worth. What did make me upset was the idiotic cash for clunkers program. Drivable and often decent cars got crushed for a tax credit that lower income people could have used for a few more years.
Sitting in a field for 30 plus years. There was 30-40 inch trees growing through the motor bays
cowboy crusher, the king of trolling. no reason to film this except to hurt a car mans heart
Is that blue car a Nissan Stanza or a Nissan Bluebird?
I think the blue Nissan wagon was a B11 sunny (they were called Sentra in the US)
those vintage mustangs are worth a ton of money fully restored, they now very collectible, and getting harder to find as they years go on.
And watching this we can see why.
And watching this we can see why.
It would cost like 80k to restore each one of those. Not worth the money when you can find a better one in good shape.
Very sad to see them crushed. Why would you do something like that to classic Mustangs. They are gone forever now because of you.
Because me? Someone else would have done it. I just put it on CZcams
Wtf bro, cars are like humans, they have a life, when they get old, they die, and new cars are made to replace old ones, its sad, but thats what happens with humans and u didnt complained about that, and Cowboy isnt the only crushing mustang in the world, i respect cowboy bcs, if u read other comments, he needs to work to feed his sons, so thats what he needs to do, he didnt decided to crush them, but the customers did, pls dont complain about people that u dont know about his history
"I like crushin' cars, 'cause I ain't smart enough to design 'em or work on them thar assembly lines!"
Smart enough to make free money....how smart is that 🤔
Love it, Absolutely Love it. Keep the crushing video's coming.
These do look like they were too far gone to be restorable. But how cool would it have been to take the front end off one of these and use as a wall ornament? Now that'd be a man cave feature!
While it's a shame to see those mustangs get crushed, I have to say you have the best job in the world.
I think so. All kinds of things to enjoy about this job. I put in a lot years on the ground before my butt hit that seat.
That was definitely a 1968 Cougar. It may have had a Cobra Jet engine, or someone just just stuck a sticker on there. Who knows. Would have been nice to look up the vin for it.
LOL I used to drive an old Celica saloon like those so they would be 80's cars. I'm really surprised they hadn't completely rusted to nothing by now. Mine was rusting away very well 20 years ago :)
For the mustangs and camaros, if they have tags and numbers, save them they are worth money. New shells are being made and need tags.
Grandaddy always told me money was nothing but green paper with numbers on it,if it becomes more than that to you,you in trouble
Exactly...i wish a lot folks could understand it ain't just about money in life
@@CowboyCarCrushing i put this post because its a way they could have preserved the cars and had money for the funeral

@@guardian8319 here's the deal. You are right on point. Them folks could have made a 100 different phone calls before I showed up. Think about that....I have been called some awful things over this video. They could have used so many different apps or social media sites to recover/reclocate or even restore those cars. But some how Mario and me ended up there. So just what are we to do?? We're just 2 dudes trying to get some work done. I tell you one thing. I could have just turned the comments off. Cause really I don't have to explain anything. Im just a dude holding a broom and dust pan expect my broom weighs 12 ton and the dust pan is heavy. It's too late when I show up
Great stuff! Is the tractor going for crushing too? If you do, can you video it?
C'Mon cowboy more more :) Be sure to check those cars I think ppl live in those!
My heart is just dropping from the title, just imagine when I’m watching it. 😭😭🤮🤧 he was only searching for mustangs like a wolf searching for run away prey.
There is no clickbait on this channel. Crushing cars is what this channel is about. Not very often do we crush a field of classic cars. More often its just regular 10 to 15 year old junk cars. I hope this video does not discourage you from watching other videos on the channel
Atleast they weren't fastbacks, they made more than enough of these body styles to go around lol.
Was'nt there one amongst them?
Was it an old junkyard? Or just a farmer that' like to collect stuff?? What model forklift are you using?
It seems like there are lots people in the USA hoarding old cars for some reason I can't understand. They don't even try to sell or restore the cars, just keep them rusting outdoors.
There's this show on netflix. Rust Valley or rust to restoration. Something like that. This dude is doing the same thing. Now he fixes a few. But the rest are going to end up like these
original keystone classic wheels, 500 dollars each.
if your paying $500. for rusty old keystones ,your an idiot.
more like 200 for the set
Glad to see that I wasn't the only one that noticed the keystone mags,$500 each I'm not seeing that and as old and without care they are now wall hangers but good catch tho
@@michaelhaynes1505 theres companies that you can take them to that will make them look brand new for about 100 dollars each. I do it all the time.
@@stevethomas-cc5lz Thanks. Guess I probably should have known this.
the owners should haver sold the cars on craigslist or something.. people will buy them to restore
Exactly. I didn't call them. They called me

How rusty was the mustang?
I bet that first Mustang used to be owned by one of The Coasters singing group (Poison Ivy)...

I just watched my dream get crushed when he could’ve gave me the thing 🤦🏼♂️
Didn't know you were looking for. These guys run ads buying "junk cars". Maybe you could run ads looking for your dream car.
Cowboy, what does the yard do with all these crushed cars?
They are shipped of to a steel mill and turned into rebar and I beams and other metal construction materials
@@CowboyCarCrushing how much money do you get for 1 scrapped car
@@adamspitfire on a good day $50.00
Actually there are a lot of guys putting old mustangs over late model Mustangs of late and they don’t need the floor.
The shame is thay are coupe's not the fast backs that are more popular.
The trade off at least is less of means more valuable are the survivors.
For every Mustang crushed, someone's Mustangs value will go up.
Say it again 👍
Im a chevy guy but man this would hurt any car enthusiast. Thats what he does tho, do your thing.
Thanks Eric. When i show up it's too late. Thanks for understanding. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👊
Omg! I need parts for my celica! Lol
Man I need that 67 Mustang front clip! Guess I will keep looking
How did all of em get out there? Weird?
I don't understand why you would crush them so many good parts on them! Could doubled/tripled your money on them! Sad indeed!
That's not my decision to make. I don't have a place to store and dismantle these cars
@@CowboyCarCrushing 's That's unfortunate man, Was hard to watch tho. PEACE
i feel pain watching this, but good channel
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍👊
Why do you ram the fork into the side of the cars when they are already in the crusher? Every yard does this and I don't get why
The crusher is the same width of and 18 wheeler trailer. If anything is sticking out after the crush then it will also be sticking out going down the highway during transport to the mill. As that lid is coming down everything is trying to squish out. You poke em and push em to keep it all inside the crusher.
So many Mustangs collected over probably 30+ years all gone for a couple hundred dollars
A lot more than a couple hundred bucks 🤣...you really think we got all that equipment out there for a couple hundred bucks 🤷
That cougar if it had a cobra sticker was probably a cougar 428 cobra jet which is extremely rare
Well now it's even rarer. 😂
Think that was just a sticker, the one above it was a Crane Arms decal, probably a stock 390 car and rusted through, but it had parts on it someone could have used.
@@Cornellious hahaha..good point
Wound what the oldest car is there. And most of been there a long time to get the tree growing thought it love the videos keep up the good work
Those cars have been there 30 or 40 years to get those trees growing through them
There may have been a few very valuable VIN numbers on those cars! ;)
Not my stuff
So, they are going going to make 15k to 20k from crushing cars, cause that is about the cost of a funeral this day and age.
