"Cash for Clunkers" 351 Cleveland with no oil won't give up at Fox Ford, Traverse City, MI

[92CamryLE]

Cool car.

[VhUgGz]

@92CamryLE If you honestly think that piece of shit car is "cool", I feel sorry for you. I wouldn't drive that if you gave it to me.

[92CamryLE]

@VhUgGz Hell yeah, it's awesome. Honestly, I feel sorry that you can't appreciate the iconic family haulers of the 70's and 80's. These beasts are awesome.

[VhUgGz]

@92CamryLE No, it isn't. That car was a piece of shit the minute it rolled off the assembly line. The 240Z and 911/912 were the best cars of the 70's. American cars are, and always will be, pieces of shit.

[92CamryLE]

@VhUgGz ok.

[TheMafiosi2010]

@VhUgGz you're the most retarded man, i have ever seen on youtube.

you are piece of shit, not the cars!

American Cars are one of the BEST!

[waterfrontdude]

If it is the motor that came from the factory it's a 351 Windsor, not Cleveland. Most of these came with 302s. I have seen wagons with 351s though.

[TheBikemaster94]

Here's an idea, the president wanted people to drive the new vehicles with GPS, that way the government could track peoples trips.

[mtmodeler]

That car never would have had a 351 cleveland you dumb shit! It would have either been a 302 or a 351 windsor!!! They havent made ANY cleveland's since the mid 70's. Get your facts straight!!!! There is a HUGE differance between a windsor and a cleveland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uppitybunny]

@mtmodeler Easy, tiger. It's just YouTube.

[randyseck]

This car looks like it was Immaculate......WTF

[polarisfan9050]

Cash for clunkers was bullshit wrecking perfectly good cars

[blackburst21]

this makes me so mad,Here these guys destroying a perfectly good car that a "less fortunate person" could have utilized, Now, all you people will say they had to by law, thats the point, this president effectively took used vehicles out of the market that some people depend on. On Top of it I'd be willing to bet that at least 30% of the people that used these "clunkers" for trades, defaulted on the loans. This Program actually incentivised people to go buy something they couldn't afford.

[BurtBartlow]

Did it die? I need closure!!!!

[ComputerTechTV]

That is not a 351C its a 302 W 5.0L EFI if you will looks like a late 80s model.

[NDW58]

@ComputerTechTV Hey im not saying your right or wrong but i had a 84 crown vike and it had the 302 or the option of the 351 Cleveland, the crown vike and this model ran from 1980 to 1987. then in 1988 the changed the design untill 1991 then they changed it againe.

[AdamH108TA]

The muscular V8 in that innocent wagon would tear a kia to shreds piece by piece. Even with 300k miles. It looks angry and will eat imports in car heaven. RIP

[NDW58]

@AdamH108TA lol so true

[NDW58]

I do hope some one saved this vehicle as to many other people did the same for other vehicles, old house, & buildings. It is a shame to watch this but life is tought some times. LONG LIVE THE OLD VEHICLES/ PLUS SOME OF THE LARGE ONES NOW A DAYS, OLD HOUSES AND BUILDINGS. I'm not trying to start any thing with any one but dam it is a shame to see this happen thees days. I tell my friends & family im like a big old vehicle or a house that is going out of stye but im staying for a long as I can.

[NDW58]

I like old vehicles, old houses & building. It makes me angery to see people do this kind of shit to thees fine vehicles, house & building.I do understands some times things have got to happen but dam it save some of thees fine vehicles, old house and building before there is nothing left to remimber. I hope some got this vehicles from the junk yard and saved it. I am stiil be on pissed about this shit but that is life for ya. some people want to destory some of thees peaes in life

[NDW58]

Damment hear go againe. Some of the cash for clunkers vehicles were in good to great condition. But thees lovey people are like yes like throw away some of thees fine vehivles and get a new crapy vehicle. Now Im not knocking all new vehicles but most of them.This might sounds nutts but hey so the rest of the world thees days, I got so mad at this that I started to tear up about this.with that sied that does not mein Im any less of a person. But I'm vary fucking pissedabout this.

[NDW58]

I hope that car comes back to the dealership it was at and including the old owner and do a CHIRSTENE on all of them. I am so fucking pissed about this about this that know one has any idea! This is detaileships for you and crappy owners that would do this kind of shit to a wondfully car DDAAAMMMM. I would of got that car and drove it for every.A vary few people now a days would have appreciated this vehicle. most vehicle now a days are crape. there are a few good ones left. save the old vehicle

[rockindave1974]

that car would have outlasted the new one

[JakeWithTheMercury]

alright! ford kickin ass! cant kill somethin that well built

[Membrane556]

I could have used that engine.

[speediracer4]

I would have bought that!  Grew up with mum driving these old boats and they were the best damn family wagons on the planet. Miss those cars.

[matthew437msncom]

fucking waste



[dant387]

no shit it wont give up its a 351 cleveland!

[soccercleatscrush]

Thats so sad, that was a decent car that someone would have loved to have as a classic car

[CanadianTechHelps]

The car wants to keep running and go ahead and kill Obama and be loved by another owner... Happily ever after

[Straick7]

The true clunkers are todays cars. All that plastic and no metal.

[VhUgGz]

@Straick7 If you weren't such a fucking retard, you might realize that new cars crumple in accidents, instead of you crumpling.

[snower5554]

A perfectly good demolition derby car gone to waste. Fuck Obama

[sha370z]

now that a clunker

[JohnMc52]

This might be the stupidest disgusting video I have ever seen on You tube.

[jigbo1]

gahhhhhhhhhhhhh so maybe the body qualifies as a clunker... but that's a 351 CLEVELAND! I coulda used that in my '66 mustang :'(

[sha370z]

now that a clunker

[ThaTrueLegend]

why would you fuk up such a beast char...

[antonisbob]

FUCKFUCKFUCKFCUKFCUFKC

[lucasman30]

@antonisbob DICKS!!!! stalking is fun.

[Wyowanderer777]

This is what we get when we have socialists in government.

[matthebest018]

351 clevland that engine is worth more then your life those were the best v8 made by ford ffs they had 1200 holey in them

[TurboVW2004]

This car would have been great for a tradesman just starting out.

Nope.And it didn't want to die, either

[gojoe283]

What a shame...someone could make good use out of a car like this...

[michaelpack1988]

you know how hard it is to find one of toughs with a 351

[mrradiochicken]

I've got a 1984 El Camino with a 350, it gets like ten miles to the gallon and smells like a boat when i start it but i would fucking die before i let someone pour that death shit in my engine just to i could get some piece of shit gas saver

[notanova]

@mrradiochicken So agreed brother I will drive my oil leaking gas guzzlin slant six Plymouth till I die or she does! Hey we all no it'll out live me LMAO!!!!!

[92Sierraman]

@mrradiochicken I got a 92 Sierra with the same motor im never letting go of that truck it was parked in the woods for 5 years it had pitch black oil 5 year old gas and a rat nest in the air cleaner put a charger on the battery for an hour and it started right up. It will never die i'd take that over any shit that they make today.

[CountryBoy1571]

@mrradiochicken i wish i got 10 miles to the gallon. in my truck i get 4 mpg

[mrradiochicken]

@CountryBoy1571 haha were it not for that emissions bullshit id be right there with you man.

[scott93257]

@mrradiochicken

Amen to that brother...I have a 65 Chevy C20 with a somewhat tired GM Goodwrench 350...But it runs great and has never let me down... I would bust every limb in someone's body if they even thought about pouring that shit in my engine... This video is just proof of how much pride America has lost in its auto industry..Fucking sad... That 351 was a great engine... I have a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer also that has a 302 in it. GREAT running vehicle..AWD loaded, leather the works.

[mudkeeps]

This makes me want to stick a small cute animal in a magic bullet.

[nightfrog65]

I'm glad this wasteful government program is finally over. That car would make a fine vehicle for a high school student, college student, or family that doesn't make very much money.

[Dualshock21]

I hope you rot in hell you piece of shit human

[MoparSureGrip383]

nice solid wagons r hard to find because of shit like this, any classic car for that matter

[kuhndog52]

Obamas a car killer

[nofgood4live]

a ride in this condition is worh over here in europe 3000+ euz

[saosurvive126]

This just about made me cry. That was a really nice wagon. What a stupid ass program...it didn't do shit but ruin a lot of really nice cars...most of which got fairly decent mileage.

[TheAstonjaguar]

man thats sad , thats a lovely old wagon :(

[davidburchfield181]

that car is goonna come back frome hell and kill peaple lol

[slimbothetiger]

retards....

[indestructible306]

that could of been a great block to stroke to a 408 and drop it on a fox body stang...

[jdpinbaytown]

The cleveland was gone way before this model,Its probably a 302 or mayby a 351W,What a waste this stupid program was! I sure hope it never happens again!!

[robotrash41]

I cant believe obama wasnt removed from office for this alone

[johnny2980]

I just incensed by this........just awful

[thebrian266]

its 351 Cleveland tough engine hard to blow up fuck you obama jackass vote that son of a bitch out he ran us out of money asshole

[TheLordofShell]

"Why are you doing this to me"

"I don't want to die"

"I've seen so much, yet so little"

"I love yo...u"

[Avalanche2]

Anyone who thinks that station wagon has a 351C in it, knows absolutely nothing about cars.

Also - these idiots dont know what they are doing.

[1112223333111]

351M or 351W

[PigsInBlanket]

This Cash for Clunkers program is such a disappointment for all vintage car enthusiasts like myself. People make money off of their cars getting completely destroyed. It saddens me that this is even allowed.

[88nascarman]

they should of treated this like the eletric chair death sentence..if it dosnt kill it on the first try then they let it live

[DrLeroyGreen]

What shame. No rust. Good body and glass. Bet that the transmission's even solid. The CFC created a larger carbon footprint than it prevented and destroyed some classics. There should have been better rules. That car should have been preserved. You can recycle things by reusing and maintaining them, you know?

[austinaubinoe]

damn that is clean, what a timeless design.

[EsperanzaJesus]

Wicked Witch trying to get the prized Ruby Slippers away from Dorothy: (the American people) “This has to be done carefully, so as not to hurt the spell. We’ll package Global Socialism as Limiting our Carbon Footprint; FIRST with incentives (Cash4Clunkers) and THEN…TAXES!” Dorothy: “Oh you Wicked Witch, you just wait ‘til I get back to Kansas, I’ll WARN the American people.” Witch: “Too late, my Sister Nancy Pelo$! Is Already there Ahead of you!”

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]

Ford made a goddamn good motor back in the day & that's a 302 windsor

[vabch82]

This is a true shame. My family owned a 1972 Country Squire(429 4v) and a 1986 Country Squire(302 mpi). These cars are true classics and this just disgusts me to no end!!!!

[OntarioMan69]

i could of came down and picked it up for you off ur hands for a demo derby up in Sault ON

[DAVEMC1000]

This program just makes me sick. They are killing my dream car. I would really like to beat up the people who traded this beauty in and blow up their new car they got trading this classic in.

[pancakewafflebacon]

... and this beautiful vehicle kept running with sand for oil for another 10 years, when it was involved in a headon truck accident

[TheSITUATIONofPA]

yea u show me a fucking 4 cylinder that can pull a car like that and keep running with no oil!

[jeepers2655]

you were suppose to rev it till it quits!.....not idle it?........hokeys

[gangbang5able]

Thats built Ford tough right there even the cash for clunkers scam couldnt even stop this car

[tenkese]

One of many bad ideas the US has come up with.. poor car.

[regalbeagleable]

a reminder that the american government is a bunch of fucking assholes that are just robbing us and destroying our very fabric. VOTE YOUR SENATORS OUT OF OFFICE 

[MADDOG6400]

I want to cry! :(

To think that this vehicle started off as a new car fresh off the lot, going home to a lovely family! And in the end, it goes from owner to owner to owner until one day it spends its last days at Cash for Clunker to die.

[2009jimmy2009]

FUCKING BREAKS MY HEART!

[MercuryMorrison1]

This isn't a Cleveland unless it had an engine swap with a Ford from the early 1970s.

[1968DodgePolara]

What a bueaty of a classic station wagon needs to be in a car collection not in a cash clunker in crusher program. I could under stand if the car was rusted all out and the frame too and with dents all over it. Looks like it was taking care of garage kelp no rust just alittle TLC it needs.

[OSDCrusher]

This makes me absolutely sick! That's a great American classic and you guys are blowing the motor. Obama is a fucking moron for that cash for clunkers bullshit

[MrFuckingAsshole1]

fucking cash for clunkers. what they do is they only except cars with bad mileage. so say a rusty peice of shit gets entered but gets denied, because it gets 30 mpg. and a bright and shinny, oh say, 93 fleetwood with not a touch of rust gets entered and gets in because it gets worse milage. cash for clunkers didnt run the condition of the car. so that makes cash for clunkers a giant fucking FAIL.

[oipbhakeld]

unless someone changed it and put a carberated 351 cleveland in it from the 70's, thats not a fucking cleveland engine.

[compwiz878]

@oipbhakeld they made 351's with multi port fuel injection so it probly was a 351 the ford pickups like the 250' n 350's used them b4 the 4.6 v8s replace the 351's n 302's the 305 is aka 5.0 the 351 is aka 5.7ltr so yes tis very possable that it is/was a 351 in this car

[oipbhakeld]

@compwiz878 yeah, but its not a cleveland, those were only around in the 70's early

[metallica3426]

if its really a cleveland thats a shame this is why they should use iron blocks

[mortensen1961]

@metallica3426 It definitely was not a Cleveland. Those engines were phased out in 1974, sadly. . . 

[CarloXLH87]

adi2mad sorry to say you're stupid. What's the point destroying a solid car, doing more pollution by destroying it's engine instead driving it ? And for what ? For a stupid ugly ass four wheeled lunch box ? People didn't turn in real clunkers but barely new sedans, F Body Mustangs Pontiacs and Camaros, Jaguars, Maseratis, BMW and Mercedes. This is very sad and plain stupid and didn't solve the oil and environment or ecological problem. Just open your eyes and ears !

[adi2mad]

you stupid americans with your big fucking engines. this is what you all diserve. Buy a resonable car not a shitty v10 with 300bhp.

[oipbhakeld]

@adi2mad you sir, are retarded. this car is a v8 for starters, and it made approximately 210 horsepower. and we like are big fucking engines and we like our cheap gas so go stick it in ur eurotrash ear bitch!!

[RetroGamerr1991]

@adi2mad What fucking V10 only makes 300hp?

[MrFuckingAsshole1]

@adi2mad wtf r u talking about?it would make sense to actually know what ur talking about. first off, what american car maker has a v10 car out at that time? and do u think that only americans have "big fucking engines"? a lambo cam have either a v8, v10, or v12. same with ferarri(spelling) i think bmw, audi, and probly more. so ur comment is a fail.

[ACeZ83]

Remember the auto bailout? Obama took flak for that and had to come up with a way for the automakers to repay their loans. There was a snag - no one was buying cars due to the crappy economy. The solution? Force taxpayers to payback the govn't with this "wonderful" program. Where do you think the $4500 per vehicle came from? The good ole taxpayers that constantly get screwed. The auto execs repay their loans and retain their bonuses. Don't vote democrat in 2012!

[corekid420]

dude that wagon was 2 clean to go out like that it had another 15 years left in it yet easy....

[DonaldTaft]

Couldn't you have fudged the dealership's books and gotten this car off the lot somehow and saved it??! What a freaking waste of a beautiful wagon!

[MrFuckingAsshole1]

@DonaldTaft they cant. if someone refuses its a 10,000 fine. fucking waste

[DonaldTaft]

@MrFuckingAsshole1 Yeah, I know, but still... I mean, come on... If they hadn't have filmed it and plastered it all over the Internet, they probably could have taken it and got away with it. Lose the receipts, slip the manager some coin. No one would have known better with all the other cars still going through. Blah. Just dreaming, I guess. Too late now, anyway.

[Alrgc2Air]

It may BE a 351, but it's not a Cleveland. Clevelands went out of production before this car was built....

[Nomasain]

The 4c4 clearly misses its target when it comes to the popular Crowm Vics and Grand Marquis.

These cars were produced from the late 70's untill the early 90's. (And the Panther chassis is still in production...)

The pre '85 polutive & dodgy AOD's with carburated engines survive, while the cleaner fuel injected engines mated to improved AOD's get crushed.

Furthermore, there's hardly any replacement. Today you have to buy a gas guzzling SUV to get this kind of cargo space and ground clearence.

[Nomasain]

These cars sell from 5000 to 15000 in the Netherlands. Thats Euro's.

[herbienbrian]

you guys are assholes, my first girlfriend drove one exactly like that. Prius driving motherfuckers

[Alrgc2Air]

@herbienbrian -- these guys only filmed this to show how stupid and wasteful the program really was.... Most of the service guys that were ordered to do this were pissed at being ordered to destroy good vehicles.. I salute them for exposing the government for the idiots that they are.

[BloatedGopher]

C4C might be over, but the Canadians will come out with something similar very soon I'm sure. >:( And they'll definitely go after classics over here too.

[mi3pwns]

i think my grandparents had one of these a long time ago. aparently they didnt use the sulfer

[2009jimmy2009]

what a really lovely looking car gone to waste, i would love to put that in a barn and when i have kids, i wouldnt tell them about it till they see it in the will and hopefully by that time it would be worth a fortune! instead of this savage act of destruction!

[THOMASOAKMAN]

I hope you die the slow grueling death this car endured. what did this car ever do to you?

[chaosad09]

whish it would have jumped in to gear and ran their stupid asses over. that merc was in good shape what a fucking waste

[NDrLoR]

Lame brains--I hope their out of a job a year from now. Here's wishing for every car destroyed a homeless person somewhere chokes to death on their own vomit.

[pdennis93]

yeah thats probably just a 302. still sad to see a large american wagon go to the crusher. reminds me of the family truckster from national lampoons vacation

[HaloSpartanG13]

@pdennis93 Still more out there....CRAAAIGS LIST!!!!

[jayocular]

@pdennis93 the title says 351 not 302

[mattg889]

What a waist, I'm glad this stupid cfc program is over. This brings a tear to my eye...

[Begbucks]

@mattg889 just starting in other countries rnd the world last Fall in my late father's hometown in Ternava in Slovakia all the Skoda were deemed unfit for the road so the goverment shelled out 2k Euros flat out if you turned your ride in - yeah sad; but it's just the start! (China needs steel & unfortunaltely they & the Saudis prop up the global economy calling the shots)

[rickcperry]

@mattg889 Waist???

[mattg889]

@rickcperry Yes a waste! Why destroy a perfectly good car only to use more resources to make another one? Someone who can't afford the latest and greatest could have used this car for another 10 fricken years. Watch the other videos of this model wagon, they had to Try to kill them. The stupid cfc program destroyed many, many cars that less fortunate people could have used!

I suppose your one of those people I've seen who trade there Prius in every 3 years for the new model huh?

[Renceau]

@mattg889 WAIST and WASTE

[mattg889]

@Renceau haha, I didn't even notice that I did that.

[Renceau]

@mattg889 Well it pronounces the same so it's easily mixed up! xD

[my88tc]

Its not a 351 Cleveland, it is either a 302 or 351 Windsor. 351 Clevelands went out of production in in 1974, this wagon looks to be an 80s wagon.

[mastermind48451]

That year of Grand Marquis only came with a 302, except for a rare police package that had a 351.

[dancer46722]

cool older nice wagon. why didn't the program donate some of those cars to volunteer organizations instead of wasting them??

[Jthumper]

very sad, yes engines run along time with no oil, in alaska it sometimes takes 2 minutes for the oil to flow on a cold start.

[wes5481]

waist of a nice car

[mpedward2]

351 clevand? ass holes for blowing it illl rebuild her and selll the motor when obama gets out !
