I thought early on it was stated that all vehicles were for sale. Or at least almost all of them. I can tell you that a rusty one with five more years of rust brings more money than that same car did 5 years ago or 10 years ago. I don't put mine on sheet metal I find to be an interesting idea. He has a Fortune galvanized 10 if he was to buy today. Cut down sizable trees take a chunk and put him underneath the car just anything get them up off the ground concrete blocks 55 gallon drums. My grandfather put one underneath old Chevy and it took around 4 decades for my understanding, for it to rot down to his current status about 18 in tall. Hello pictures of it sitting on that 55 gallon drum on the back end and the front ends up off scale a little bit. But hey it's only a ugly old 59 Chevy you're in the right mind with everyone one of them! I'm here to tell you that was the vast majority opinion back in the day those cars just flat ugly the only thing more ugly with a 58 Chevy. Now all those so-called ugly ducklings are very collectible. Take a look at the 63 Chevy Impala versus the 64 Chevy Impala. Somewhere around 15 or so years ago they begin to trade places in value. My observation both of them same condition and equipped is that the 63 will bring a good amount more money. Now there's one ethnic group that like to 63 back in the day more so than anybody else. Times are different back then to a certain point. But you see my family always like some of those ugly ducklings. Of course at 3:48.58 Chevy 2 door hardtop with every option concealable that I could bought when I was around 14 years old for no more than $75 that ran and drove and nothing was wrong with it not even scratch. A desirable paint color and so forth. 58 Chevy car. I kind of like them now. And it's great that other people just go nuts over them I think we ought to save all of them but realistically as many as we can of the vintage cars! Always like finding somebody who really doesn't like a particular car but they own it can happen to be one that I like. The price is always cheaper. Anyway for an extended Labor Day weekend I must look at 600 old cars and there's no more to look at and they were all in a radius of 1 hour from each other. Serious perspective buyers can look at them too. I'm sure some RUclips will video at least some of them if they have no ready. But to reply back to you and a direct way. That 59 Chevy had a great body and it's still pretty good actually they don't have the rest that they normally get because it's been elevated here at mechanically it's been pretty clean. And maybe this fall I might actually the car dolly underneath those end and take it up and put it in the barn. But just like the 59 Chevy wagon I've been in the family since about 1971 it was so Rusty wasn't worth anything for years. It happened being original black paint car in between the rust. The guy bugged me for 3 years to sell it to him. The car that would not bring me equivalent of $800 will say 8 years or so ago well I sold it to him for $4,800! Mechanically had some very strong points. But it was a six cylinder 3 speed. And that wasn't even my I don't want to sell a price. I generally tell people five grand for one of the old wagons and I thought he'd walk away from it. I never seen a man whip out a stack of $100 bills so quick. Most of the cars that were 1959 it went to The crushers and day we're a lot better looking than that one and even a dozen years prior to that you couldn't get 500 bucks out of it. So why does this fella and other people leave them set. Because eventually somebody will give enough money to make it worthwhile to mess with it. It cost money and time to handle these vehicles even if you're not transporting them to the buyer. Now this is just my opinion from a guy who has a few and have sold a number of them so they could find a new forever home. My humor is pretty dry but it never fails if you got a cluster cars the one the guy wants it right in the center of it and got to spend a whole day moving stuff. So I'm glad this guy hung onto these cars so they're at least still around for us to look at them on the video and maybe buy them. How many people want to give the man $500 to $1,000 because it's a rusty old Camaro? Exactly my point when they're worth up to five grand maybe better some of them. One last thing back in 1988 I could have bought a well done slightly one off from stock 1967 or 1968 I just don't remember anymore it doesn't matter. But I think it was 1968. It had both the RS and SS package. I'm meeting metallic blue paint white interior white top preggers all the way around for only $5,000. On top of that is a convertible Camaro. That car would be worth somewhere north of $50,000 today. About $4,995 we're the reasons why I didn't buy it! I could have borrowed the money and should have but it was only an old Camaro and even though it was probably worth $8,500 at the time we threw them cars away when they were used up. It had a built 327 or 396 I just don't remember now. I really looked at tens of thousands of cars since then but I can picture that thing in my mind. Well oh well that was one I definitely should have bought. The kids reason was that he was graduating from college and needed the money for a decent down payment on a more respectable car while job hunting. I didn't know then either and he did not realize how many car nuts would be interested in that car and they're being a position to give him a job. Anyway somewhere online I got to be an old car guy as a young man of 25 referred to me as a little while back. He said I didn't mean any offense; none taken. But I took a look in the mirror and realize he was somewhat right. But if given a chance to talk to my father about old cars there an old car guy! Well I just had to reply to your question and it's a good question I had wondered that myself in the past. Anyway have you been waiting on somebody to get out of the store so I can get back on the road so I had the opportunity to be long-winded in my thoughts. The more people interested in these old cars and get mad or sad or upset about why they're still setting the better it keeps the old car hobby alive.
A 1969 Camaro RS is my favorite Camaro of all time. This one looks beyond help. You could buy a nice one for less than it would cost to restore this one.
My dad bought a 1969 Camaro SS 350 automatic car that had been rear-ended pretty bad in 1976. He pulled the motor and transmission out and put the 350 in his 56 Chevy BelAir hardtop and the automatic transmission in his 55 Chevy BelAir hardtop where they both still are today. The 55 has been completely restored and the 56 is in the middle of restororation as we speak.

It's really sad that all those cars are just rotting..... Sure he saved them from going to the crusher, but now most are just too far gone to fix. He really should sell the rare ones. I would buy one!
I totally agree. After 45 years in the collision repair industry I probably tend to view rusty cars differently than people who haven’t had that exposure. Perhaps I’m jaded by my experiences as an estimator but I have scrapped hundreds of vehicles over the years. Some of which were brand new and the customer had yet to make a payment.
Another great one from the series of this yard some great first gen Camaros there that 69 RS my buddy had one same color. This was back in the late 80s and traded it to a xr350 motor cycle bad trade even back then .
@@AutoArchaeology When he starts selling them and people rebuild them, then they will be saved. Right now he's just hoarding them. Do a before and after story with continuous updates on your channel of a couple cars that actually are saved. Instead of getting crushed, they are rusting away.
@4:40 I had a chance to buy a perfectly fine Firebird convertible, red with white interior. 350 manual 3 speed for 350 bucks. Didn’t want it because I like Mopar. Would have been the Best Buy ever, even then.
