That 1969 Dodge Polara convertible is the one to save out there. They made very few.

Hey Chris, the Thermo king units are refrigeration units for tractor trailers, not air compressors.

A " will it run" would be pretty skoocum on that dodge cargo ram van as no KZreadr has ever done one before. Plus I own one and they are pretty nostalgic for a lot of people.

Thumbs up for using "skookum," not for Dodge Van. Skookumchuck Idaho. My mom used 'skookum' to mean cool.

1:25 Fiat X1/9! My dad had one! Thanks for the content Chris. I honestly just enjoy whatever you put out on your channels. There's something calming about watching what you do, no matter what it is.

That little orange car @ 1.20 is a FIAT X1-9 Bertone, known throughout Europe as the 'Pocket Rocket', rare as hens teeth now as they all rusted away!

Man, I can tell I am getting old! All those cars you did not know what they were were the cars of my teenage youth. The 69 Dodge Polara convertible (A low volume production with just 1495 built), the 1967 Pontiac Le Mans right next to it, the Subaru BRAT with T-tops, the Jeep Cherokee, and yes, that side striping was a factory trim option. The ford step side short box, early 70’s late 80’s Fiat Bertone X1/9 (those were very cool little cars that out corner and drive a Mazda Miata without even trying hard), very early Ford Rangers. Brings back memories.

those subaru bratt seats are worth pulling and listing for sale. hardto find

The gem in that lot is surely the VW karmann Ghia!

Too bad that Samurai wasn't more complete!

Gabriel Hijackers air shocks were what a lot of guys used in 70s and 80s to get the "jacked up" look, rear end up in the air with L-60s and drag tires in front.

That Fiat X19 is pretty rare now Awesome video Chris

Yes that is the engine they put into the Saturn. I drove refrigerated trailers for 10+ years hauling frozen and perishables throughout the northeast and the southeast. The SB 210 was great for doing frozen especially ice cream.

13:30 the van Chris take her home fix her up. Body wise looks like drivers door the worst. I bet the paint would buff up nice. Thanks for sharing your walk thru. Best wishes, Deb

Hey Chris - those Subaru’s are known as Brumbys in New Zealand & Australia. & they are highly capable & sort after now. Those boxer engines & 4wd have rally pedigree (believe it or not). I think MightyMods KZread channel did one up. Will it run on that will help your international subscriber growth for sure!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi Chris at 1.26 is a red 1987 Bertone Fiat X1/9 , Bertone was the designer and they were built by Fiat, great mid engine two seater for the day😊

That step-side F-150 at the very beginning of your video might warrant a rebuild/will it run segment. The inline 6 is a good motor and the truck, to my eyes, has nice lines.

I thought it was funny when you said the Blazer was last registered in 2005, inferring it hasn’t been that long yet you were surprised at the amount of vegetation growing up around it….😂 it’s been 18 years.😂

That Mazda MX-3 is a rocket. Had a small high revving 1.8l V6. Interchangeable with the Ford Probe v6. Have a pocket rocket with a 2.5l.

The v6 2.5 can sound soooo good done right. Under rated engine for sure. Great for swaps in mx5s or other lightweight stuff.

Would love to see a WIR on that Subaru Brat

I really miss my childhood. Wish I would have realized how cool my childhood memories were going to be. I grew up with my father owning a big junk yard and mechanic shop. Unfortunately he broke his back by having a loader bucket drop on him and crushed his spine. life back in the 80s and 90s was just different. If I knew what I knew today I would have cherished a bit more.

I would love to see this red Fiat X19 Bertone saved. Jen would love it. Two seater, stick, rear wheel drive. 1:24 Subaru Brat 3:08 Chevy pickup 12:33

That ram van 😮 that was my first car! Lots of memories in that thing. I’d love a will it run video

I think one of those Impalas would be a good car for a will it run video

I can spend days in Junk yards! Trouble is that most of the older yards on the East coast are full of rusted junk. Thanks for taking us along Chris and of course thumbs UP!!👍

Chris you need to grab one of those reefer units and bolt it to the new shop. Diesel powered AC that'll freeze you out next summer. The ram van must be an early model pre caravan and a panel to boot. Must be like 85/86. I'd see about getting the Ramcharger running personally.

Those old Mack front ends are pretty epic, and the Dayton wheels knock them out of the park.

I would love to see the caravan. Reminds me of my childhood too. I'll have to watch again if I see anything else. Keep up the great work

Love these videos man!

I think you walked past an old Volkswagen Karmann Ghia around 10:39, a real treasure. It looks like they need to get a herd of goats in there to clear the brush.

Hi, Bobby from NJ. I have been watching your other channel. I love the ones where you buy a car or van and drive it home with Jen, and Gus. You and Jen are doing a great job! I would love to see you get the ram van get it running and drive it. Could you please tell a little something about the junkyard? 1. Like when they started? 2. When they closed? 3. And why are they closing? I hope if you both ever get to Jersey that I get to meet you. I live in North Jersey currently, but moving to South Jersey in November sometime. Thanks., Bobby

I throughly enjoyed this video. You should do more like this on this channel

"Will it run" on the Brat @3:03 or the Geo Tracker @9:30 would be good!

@6:15 those are refrigerator units for a semi trailer.

those little subaru Brats bring some good money if decent, and that one had the rear jump seats, only for 2 years i believe

As someone is from that area, I've passed by that yard numerous times over the years and thought what a shame those vehicles just being eaten up by the vegetation

Subaru BRAT, RAM VAN or (17:25) Ford Wrecker. I'd love to see any of those! Keep up the amazing work, great content. I wear my NKNH cap around town up here in Bellingham, WA

Glad u made this channel Chris!

3:03, that Subaru Brat could be fun, if it’s not all rotted out. 6:25 it’s a reefer units, it should have a two or three cylinder Kabota. 13:53, that could be fun, we had an 87 when I was a kid.

5:00..67 Pontiac Tempest...make a GTO .LOL! great video..junkyard tours,very cool... ty !!

Those jump seats in the Subaru Brat are worth some money.

Man is there potential in some of those old vehicles. What you have and what you do is Super cool. You are always outside the box. And I like both of yinz guys videos. Keep up the great work

Always. Love. Junkyard. Tours. Thanks

I remember that yard thanks for sharing this six stars

I like this video! Keep it up!

That Ram Charger would be a cool build

The subaru would be an interesting video but that ram charger is also pretty neat

I spotted a 1960 Plymouth Fury 2 door hardtop at the end of the video in the drone shot. That car could yield some very valuable trim pieces.

Sad to drive past every week and see that place getting smaller. I remember digging through that yard in my teens-early 20s finding parts for my camaro in there that would get broken or dissappear quick at other the other spots near by.

The '66 Chrysler wagon would have a lot of useable underhood/driveline parts for the Fury.

11:44 the Impala looks like a 71. Thanks for taking us through the yard. Great video.

I just came across your channel. I live a few hours north of Philly. I was just down that way last month. I might have even passed through that area.

The Ram Van is awesome! That would be a great will it run video.

Loved the Outro... Cool Video... Good Vibes!!!

love the junkyard videos. I vote for the caravan

Always love your stuff Chris!, Just Subbed to this Channel too!, The Dodge mini van would make a great video! Jeff Houston, Texas

I love the fiero my dad had one as a project and he never got it running

That door on the Mack would make a great wall hanger.

Great video

Cars worth saving: 1) Dodge Convertible -- not a Mopar fan, but this is the classic 1970 Ken doll playboy car -- love it! 2) Uh Chris, next to the Dodge is a Pontiac -- either LeMans or GTO -- mega sweet! 3) Chevy Custom Deluxe 10 and Square Bodies always worth saving! 4) Impala -- all three -- worth saving! 5) Chevy C 10 -- mega sweet! 6) All the old pick-ups and tow trucks and wreckers -- worth saving! 7) Uh Chris, the Impala at 11:51 -- that's a 19-SIXTY-SEVEN, not 1977! You youngin's don't know nothin' !! Great video, Chris!

Love going thru junk yards ! Thermo King is a refrigeration units for tractor trailers hauling perishable foods

The Dodge vans from that era were notorious for transmission probs. Our kids grew up during late 90's/early 2K's, and we owned several. Great vehicles otherwise.

Do the Van, It would make a great shop van ✌️

i miss junk yard crawling. grew up doing it.

That dodge ram was really the most decent van you can come across

Liking that Ram Van Chris. Be cool to see you give that a go.

👍👏👌 Thanks a lot for showing us around. 2) An original Fiat X 1/9 Bertone! Must be quite rare in the rust belt part of North America. Because older Fiat cars usually already rusted in the brochure! 😁 ;-) 3) A 4WD Subaru Brat with a T- bar roof? Never seen one of those. Great little cars, especially for winter time. 4) By the way: I simply love the Datsun 280 ZX with the T- bar roof. The famous Graf Goertz body style/design is simply gorgeous and the engine almost indestructible. Unfortunately they rust a lot. 5) I also spotted a VW Karmann Ghia. Best regards, luck and especially health to all 4 of you.

I wanna see the Van "will it run!!!"

You should try to buy all the lightbars and beacons from the old wreckers before they get scrapped. You could stick them on future projects. Their what I would try to buy in that yard if I lived there, but I might be bias since I collect old emergency lights.

Don't feed his hoarding tendencies. Haha.

fiat X1/9 will be hard to find parts, but is a unique car in the us and not every day in the UK.

For a "will it the dodge ram caravan. Would make for a good parts runner/picking up, etc. I remember seeing those cargo versions everywhere. Love your channels

The car you said no way to but has nice alloy wheels is a Fiat X-19. Nice styling. Drivetrain was easy to break, and hard to fix. Would be cool to swap a different drivetrain in.

old Ram chargers are awesome and those Ram vans are cool my uncle has two he does wall paper and painting he swears by them but hard to find these days

That little red junker is a Fiat X19. They were even junk new.

Yo Chris you are the best youtuber ever!

That k5 blazer at 9:10, I need that lol

Love a good junkyard!

I enjoy the junkyard excursion videos

Short box c10 would love to see you revive!

Make the Fiero run! (I kinda just want to see you driving it)

I'd sure love to see you get that dadge mini van n get it going .I love that year n body style .

10:50 Dibs on the '68 Chevy Suburban. Man, I haven't seen one of those in forever. BTW, the Impala at 11:40 was about a '67-ish. Factory A/C too.

The cadilac at 16:07 looked very nice. I belive that era / look is very sought after ( not sure though :o ). Also the RAM VAN ( lol ) would be cool. Saw another comment saying no one on all of youtube has ever done a will it run on one of those :O . Looks in good shape and its a functional / useful vehicle since its a van, and therefor more worth saving ? Dont know much about RAM Chargers 17:08 but if they are built well then please save it !

Where I live, there is no more even 80's cars in junkyards. Only new cars. Quite different cars there, we might have those Volvos.

Cool vid

Thanks for sharing I'm from Pennsylvania - Buck's County growing up I would tag along with my Dad when he would go to the Junkyards I loved it checking out the old cars , The sad part is there's not many around anymore because of the way they build cars now adays 😢 . 👍✌😅

Oh man would love a video on the subaru brat!.. that "bertone" is a fiat x19 wheels parts are worth some 💰

We used to have a pair of S-10s growing up. I would like to see a will it run on one of those or the Side-Kick, yet I didn't see an engine within it.

Subaru Brat would be a great one to play around with 👍

Honestly that Ram van would be an interesting will it start. Those vans were all over the place in the 80's early 90's

Please do a will it run in that dodge ram van, it’s so different it would be really cool!

The Subaru Brat would be worth getting back on the road. Shout out to Tulsa Winch, in business since 1929.

The ram van will it run is my favorite.

That bertone would be very interesting video of trying to save tht!

Would love to see "will it run" on some of the Japanese & European cars you come across. Results may not be as easy/consitent as the domestic stuff, but interesting engineering all around.

The body on the BMW looks great. Depending on how complete the engine is it might be worth a try.
