Do the yard owners sell the parts! It's pretty strange to me if the owners don't sell parts nor cars because then the people that like to visit but not buy cars or parts may be good canidates for for a mental health evaluation.

Happy Birthday Cousin. 🎂 John, you mentioned your Dad. Back in the summer of 1993, me and my husband were visiting with your family. Our car a 1982 Datsun. The battery went on it. Your Dad replaced the battery no charge and lent us a Volkswagen Rabbit for the day. The Rabbit was probably the one you drove a few years later. Cool junkyard.

3:20 Nice Renault 4cv 4:38 peugeot 404 16:14 renault 10 ! Made in France !

I live in New Zealand and Japanese cars were popular on our roads. They were introduced in the mid sixties and flooded the car market by the 1970s. Some classic Japanese autos there. Interesting the German Audi Fox there. They were a nice car in the late 1970s early 80s. A French Renault 8 or 10 1960s model there too. They were assembled in NZ back then. An old Volkswagon van. My father owned one in the 1960s, because we were a large family of six children, so a sizable vechile was needed to transport us around. Some international cars there amongst the American ones. Thanks for the video.

An amazing place, thank you very much for the tour. I'm glad you stopped to show me the Renault 10, Ford Capri, Triumph Spitfire and ADO16 Austin America

Man if I ever come over to the States from NZ, I'd love to visit this spot. You hardly ever see a split window bus here. I would shoot so many damn photos there.

Wow John, thanks! What a great video! A dream from american car brands! I'm surprised about the European cars. A rare Borgward from Bremen, Opel Kadett B Coupe, a mega rare Opel Kadett A Caravan, rare Fiat-NSU Neckar (a German/Italian co-production), VW Golf 1, Audi Fox (= Audi 80, was also available as a GTE), Renault Major 10, Opel Manta A (the ray!), Renault Caravelle (in Europe = Floride), a Sunbeam Tiger, English Ford Anglia, Austin 1100. The Ford Capri MK1 had I once called it a 2600 RS (it was the Porsche killer from 1970!!). I just don't understand why there is so much enthusiasm for European and Japanese classic cars in America? You have the wonderful “giant ships”! Great video! Thanks! Greetings Klaus from Düsseldorf

There was a piece of property near me for a while that had an “illegal” estate sale and my buddy and I got permission to go back on the property which had multiple old american cars (econoline, old 70s dodge wagon, ford wagon, an older mercedes, some old cadillacs) we even found what looked to be a chop shop dumping spot and I grabbed a vintage racing helmet from under a big block. Super cool experience but a power company ended up buying the land and moving the cars off it. Have a few pictures from the adventure too

By far my favorite video. 100% agree with the Vega slammed & tubbed on 13s

Very cool video.

I just found your channel and subscribed and I can't wait to see your second video of this amazing junkyard. I have seen part of this place in a t.v. show but they only showed the models that they liked. I like all different types and I like seeing cars that I have never seen before so thank you for taking us along with you I really enjoyed your video.

*edit - You Definitely have the best content on this place i've seen! the hype for patina and the quirky cars I equally love, fantastic! For me with Automotive Photography , Patina is everything! It tells a story has character and you literally nailed it with your explanation.. Painted cars all I see is lipstick on pigs full of Bondo and just lost car souls lol Then 3 yrs later the paintjobs are absolutely trashed and worse than before it was painted.

Wish you would of shown the interior or mentioned that it came with 14' wheels in 69 and a 10a twin dizzy rotary. Side note on the r100 is that rust was from being parked with gasoline in tank that turned & the fumes rusted out the metal any where seam sealer was used. If you got in the trunk the bottom of fuel tank would of been rusted out also. Cool find & props on recognizing a amazing beyond rare peice of auto history

Unfortunately too many idiots ruined things for the rest of us. More and more yards not allowing anyone to open hoods or doors cuz they bent the crap out of then trying. More yards too are not allowing people in the yard at all. Liability issues, ridiculous insurance rates. Then there's too much vandalism and even theft. NEVER had issues years ago, but now too many a-holes that have absolutely no respect.

Ah, I got my Corvair fix... for now. ;-)

Might be a long shot but any Saabs??? 👀👀

Anything for sale there? Or just a grave yard
