if you really were scraping them why the hell would you not save one or two for a demo derby those old boats would make a great derby then once thier beat to hell crush them.
I had a 1939 Chrysler I tried to sell for $300 for nearly 2 years to keep it from getting crushed. I bet everybody that called me or looked at it had more money than me but it was "too rough" etc. Finally a guy showed up with a $100 bill and a story about restoring it. Best offer I got in two years so he got it. I bet he took it straight to the scrap yard and sold it for around $250 just like I should have done. People need money, if you want to save them go out spend the money.
AS TO THE VIDEO MAKER,YOU COULD OFFER TO MARKET AND ADVERTISE YOUR OWN ON SITE AUCTION VIA HEMMINGS,NET//,YOUD SAVE THE CARS, HELP THE MAN ,AND MAKE ALOT OF MONEY!!!,YOU DONT HAVE TO BE LICENSED TO AUCTION ....THINK ABOUT IT...
We're merely stewards of these classics, that once gone, will never return. To destroy this history for a few bucks, is unforgivable. We preserve old buildings, I wish there were some incentives to preserve these old cars.
The damn scrap industry is taking away old american classics. With rising scrap prices and people that don't know the value of old cars, classics are becoming harder to find.Join the fight to save old cars!
Zoom back a little. Your up to close. From the best I could tell crushing what I could see would be crazy. A bunch of these are restorable. Some have some very hard to find parts. One from the best I could tell was from the 40's and still had the tail lights in it. Chrome and all. That's extremely hard to find. I know people out here that would give their eye teeth for a set of original tail lights.
that cadillac at 0:53 has not a bit of rust on it... i wonder why its in that yard. i'd go find an '85 rocket engine and drop it in that car, just to have it sitting in my garage.
I'll make an effort to see if I can find this yard again. It would be interesting to see what's still there. The Junk yard guy was pretty old and didn't look too healthy. Sometimes what happens is any relatives tend to want to bulldoze the land and try to sell the property. When they do that, they can be really uneducated about potential value of all these cool american wheels
I know this video is old... but if the guy hasn't crushed these all off he could hire an auction service and make 3 times more than he would crushing them crushing them.
They should of held an auction like they did at the yard in Switzerland,that way they get something for the cars and the one stipulation:the new owner hauls the car away. Im sure some of these cars would attract a buyer.
This is insane. There are some real classics there that can be worth a lot of money to someone with the time and knowledge to restore them. Where are these vehicles located ???
I don't like to see old classics go to the crusher, but guys:....If people want these, then make an effort to scoop them up. You can't reasonable expect someone to collect them, preserve them and hold them for 30 or 40 years waiting that maybe some collector will want the exact cars that they have. If you want them saved, then buy them with your own money.
At the time of posting, scarap steel is $200 Ausd per tonne. One could give this bloke a check for $200.00 per cars and transport them to a cleanup yard and ship them to OZ and sell them for much more. At least here they will get restored.
Destroying those cars is waste to our civilization and culture.
I pray to you, Dear God, that anyone who would destroy those cars, without resurrectecting its parts on another car, will watch his children die a slow and horrible death to cancer, for those cars are worth more than that person and his offspring combined.
I agree with every response given from the many viewers of this video. I apologize for the poor quality of the video. I only had a flip video camera and found it difficult to shoot while crawling through branches and vines. I am not crsher. I am merely a heart felt observer like you. The root cause of their demise is the current salvage price of steel.( bring $5 to 7 hundred ea.) The salvage yard owner has no other income and little knowledge of any global internet sales or marketing potential
Sad. Just sad. Real american cars getting taken over by the japs. People worked hard for these cars back then! now we treat them like trash. Those car are meant to last.
YOU CRUSHED THESE?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?! THANKS FOR MAKING IT A LITTLE HARDER FOR ME, AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER ENTHUSIASTS TO RESTORE A GREAT AMERICAN CLASSIC SOME DAY! THEY DON'T MAKE EM LIKE THEY USED TO YOU DAMN MORON!
I do like old cars like these above..but thing is most of these have seen there life and probably had an good one at it too..SOME of the cars above COULD be restored..its just finding the right person who is willing to do so. Rust.In. Pieces.
It is such a shame there are so many cool cars going (or gone) to waist in this yard: Buicks, Studebakers, Cadillacs, Chevys, Fords, Dodges, etc.
If I could buy anything from that yard, I'd go for the Caddy at 0:47 that should be a 1956 I love it! or the Ford Bronco that can be seen on the left in min 6:02
it would be so much nicer to see any of these old girls back on the streets rather than those ugly Hyundai Atos & Toyota Yaris among others
What bugs me is around where I live, people try to sell a rusted classic for $2000, then when they cant sell it they send it to the junkyard where they get $100.
This is a sin!!!!!! They could all be brought back to life! Anyone here in the North East would love to have any one of those solid bodies! We have nothing but rusted out hulks here and kill ourselves trying to resurrect them!
no wonder why old cars that are restored cost so much because a dum people i am trying to get some of these old cars to save them from going to the crushers
well yesterday my dollar was as strong as urs, eat shit usa! no wonder they crushin em, daddy needs some new teeth! well maybe if you quit bangin your neighbours wife - went to work and brushed your teeth - maybe that yoke'll kid nx door wouldnt have knocked 10 types of shit out your sorry asses! RESTORE THESE CARS YOU FOOLS!!!! or u just gonna drink away ur heritage hoping some queer family member will paint or photograph it? fat chances! ur beyond inbreeds!!! HAHAHAHAA
most of these cars are in restoreable condition. you would probably make more money selling them as they are then crushing them. plus you would keep a classic car alive.
ya if someone with some smarts and time had these rigs decent money could be made selling parts. I personally could make a killing on ebay!!! its shameful to see these true classic vehicles wasted. Autos of today suck and have no character or sustainable value....
What a sin to see all those cars go to the crusher. Lots of body parts, fenders, hoods, doors. Original glass, door handles, the name badges.They are sitting on a fortune.
Those of the Kaufdorf yard in Switzerland were sold in a auction a month ago. 2/3 of the cars found a new owner, almost US cars, part of them built under license in Switzerland like Pontiacs and Camaros. The few remaining are for sale for a while but will crushed or are already crushed.
the old cars and trucks were built so much better and had more character and good looks than any cars today. Not to mention built right here in the good ol usa by americans who cared about the quality of work. its kinda sad to see them all wasting away. I have great respect for those who preserve and restore them.
Why the #$(*&#%%#!! would you not advertise these cars on craigslist, classic car enthusiast Internet Forums, and the newspaper! Don't send them to the crusher!!!
Sure that they'll end in the crusher ? Well in Switzerland they're about to crush about 60 or more classic cars found in a yard if they don't find a new owner until the end of this year. I come from Luxembourg and old cars don't get crushed if you keep them at home in a garage. It must be older than 25 years to be considered as a classic car or "Youngtimer". I like this old iron, if you love your car history, preserve them at home, don't let them rest in a yard :) Good luck and have faith :)
Peopkle that crush restorable classic American should be punished. Brutally punished. How could you sleep knowing you helped destroy America's history?
wow dude at least drift for real ur jus cheat driftin, weres the fun? i can easily get 500,000 from jus driftin' the corners LIKE YOUR SUPPOSED TO DO...ARAB DRIFTING ISN"T DRIFTING IT"S BULL SHIT!!!
They were all someones pride and joy at some time in there working life, |A lot of good restoration projects here, Would be good to see them back in the condition they were in,.! In there nostalgia days, I could spend days Scranning around in this place ...!!!.."Like a pig in shit.".lol
The only reason the parts for the newer cars are "worth more" , not even worth more,,, COST MORE, cause u pay the inition manufacturing cost to pay Union workers over time and double time. parts are still crap,, just cost more!
good comment, vientoman, Its true what you said, yes the older cars were valuable for the steel, so in that aspect their worth something. But on the other hand the newer vehicles are worth more then the older ones, for example an altenator for an old chev, is worth $40 bucks, buy that altenator for a new chev ur lookin' at $1200 bucks. Then the bodies of the newer vehicles are worth nothing, and the steel bodies of the older vehicles are worth a lot more per ton, so where do u draw the line?
For all practical purposes, cars coming out of the stamping machines today are disposable. Unfortunately, the older "collectibles" stand a greater chance of going to the crusher because they were actually built using large amounts of valuable steel. Crunch a new car and your mainly left with a noxious mess of complex polymers and stuff that is better off in landfills. There are, however,a few scavengers who eek a living out of providing bits and pieces of newer cars in yards here and there.
its possible some teens owned some, got rid of them for something newer, like many people do today. own a car get 2 years out of it deal it back in, eventually somewhere down the road it will end up in a field like these old clunkers did. also maybe the person owned the car and died, or went off to war, some god for saken, reason. plus back then 50's 60's they I'm guessing not as pushy to scrap those oldies, like they do today, if u needed a part chances are u can find them in those old clunkers
I agree. That's the sad part about what is happening all over the country with thousands and thousands or really cool old cars. Very few people visit these old junk yards any more so gradually they loose their income stream. Then, the only way to put food on their tables is to sell them for scrap metal prices because it takes extraordinary effort to match a car with a buyer. The only hope is to buy the whole yard, post them for sale individually on the net. Perhaps that could work.
I'm not sure if it's possible to destroy a car crusher......I think they get stronger with every car laid to waste. Incidentally, I don't own these cars, they are all owned by an elderly man who can't really get any grocery money from them.....Matching up a potentially collectible old car with the right person who is looking for a project at the right time is difficult to for a fellow. Scraping a hunk of 1950 Detroit steel puts groceries on his table.
my point exactly!!!! I composed this video because I wasn't too happy to see these cool cars go to the crusher myself. It's not me who's doing it, it's the owner of the "junk" yard. so. figure about a thousand cars at $300 bucks worth of steel. that's $300,000.oo bucks. If you wanted to offer this guy say $400,000.00 for the lot, then you could easily tripple your money by setting up a web page and selling them to collectors.If I had an extra half mill, it would be a reasonable venture.
why would u crush some nice collectable cars like that dude u could of got like alot of money because people would like some of those cars unlike u calling them junk and then there going to the crusher dude people would bu them because they are some hot cars in this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In this instance, the guy who is sending this stuff to be melted down is the owner of the yard. Over the years, cars have become disposable."junk" yards like this are things of the past.Now, when a car breaks you just buy a new one. Metal prices are such that unless a person has a way of marketing cars to individuals willing to take them on as projects, it's easier just to take the $300 you can get for just the metal in them. In this case, the grumpy, greedy grown up is to blame.not the teens
i dislike this for a good reason too...SOMEBODY SAVE THESE OLD GREAT AWESOME CLASSICS!!!

I come from Luxembourg and old cars don't get crushed if you keep them at home in a garage. It must be older than 25 years to be considered as a classic car or "Youngtimer". I like this old iron, if you love your car history, preserve them at home, don't let them rest in a yard :) Good luck and have faith :)

This is disgraceful! Why crush a great metal American car from the '50s when crappy plastic American cars are still on the roads?

when scrap went up last year, junk yards crushed everything. My boss at the time was crushing stuff as soon as he got the salvage certificate.

The only reason the parts for the newer cars are "worth more" , not even worth more,,, COST MORE, cause u pay the inition manufacturing cost to pay Union workers over time and double time. parts are still crap,, just cost more!
Dreambro1 3 years ago
good comment, vientoman, Its true what you said, yes the older cars were valuable for the steel, so in that aspect their worth something. But on the other hand the newer vehicles are worth more then the older ones, for example an altenator for an old chev, is worth $40 bucks, buy that altenator for a new chev ur lookin' at $1200 bucks. Then the bodies of the newer vehicles are worth nothing, and the steel bodies of the older vehicles are worth a lot more per ton, so where do u draw the line?

For all practical purposes, cars coming out of the stamping machines today are disposable. Unfortunately, the older "collectibles" stand a greater chance of going to the crusher because they were actually built using large amounts of valuable steel. Crunch a new car and your mainly left with a noxious mess of complex polymers and stuff that is better off in landfills. There are, however,a few scavengers who eek a living out of providing bits and pieces of newer cars in yards here and there.

its possible some teens owned some, got rid of them for something newer, like many people do today. own a car get 2 years out of it deal it back in, eventually somewhere down the road it will end up in a field like these old clunkers did. also maybe the person owned the car and died, or went off to war, some god for saken, reason. plus back then 50's 60's they I'm guessing not as pushy to scrap those oldies, like they do today, if u needed a part chances are u can find them in those old clunkers

I agree. That's the sad part about what is happening all over the country with thousands and thousands or really cool old cars. Very few people visit these old junk yards any more so gradually they loose their income stream. Then, the only way to put food on their tables is to sell them for scrap metal prices because it takes extraordinary effort to match a car with a buyer. The only hope is to buy the whole yard, post them for sale individually on the net. Perhaps that could work.

I'm not sure if it's possible to destroy a car crusher......I think they get stronger with every car laid to waste. Incidentally, I don't own these cars, they are all owned by an elderly man who can't really get any grocery money from them.....Matching up a potentially collectible old car with the right person who is looking for a project at the right time is difficult to for a fellow. Scraping a hunk of 1950 Detroit steel puts groceries on his table.

if a American teen used one it is vrery very very very highly possible

Would love to save some of these autos!
SquishDoll 3 years ago
my point exactly!!!! I composed this video because I wasn't too happy to see these cool cars go to the crusher myself. It's not me who's doing it, it's the owner of the "junk" yard. so. figure about a thousand cars at $300 bucks worth of steel. that's $300,000.oo bucks. If you wanted to offer this guy say $400,000.00 for the lot, then you could easily tripple your money by setting up a web page and selling them to collectors.If I had an extra half mill, it would be a reasonable venture.

why would u crush some nice collectable cars like that dude u could of got like alot of money because people would like some of those cars unlike u calling them junk and then there going to the crusher dude people would bu them because they are some hot cars in this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this instance, the guy who is sending this stuff to be melted down is the owner of the yard. Over the years, cars have become disposable."junk" yards like this are things of the past.Now, when a car breaks you just buy a new one. Metal prices are such that unless a person has a way of marketing cars to individuals willing to take them on as projects, it's easier just to take the $300 you can get for just the metal in them. In this case, the grumpy, greedy grown up is to blame.not the teens
