Maybe,but he does love to talk ,I suppose that's just the way he is 😁 ! Sometimes I can't understand what he,s saying anyway,probly cos I'm from the u.k ,!
Ditch the F250 and get this F150 if you can get it for a good price! And YES, you should definitely make a video with Westen! That guy is just brilliant!
*I actually found the Thunderbird quite interesting!* The engine sounds fine. Just needs some new control arms, anti-roll bar, maybe ball joints, some cosmetic parts that you can find at the junkyard, maybe a set of front seats, corner light, power steering pump and your good to go! It's more the labor that killing it because parts for these things are quite cheap. It would be a great car for you or TJ's auto! Tim needs to wrench more man. Great cheap car for his channel!
Just wanted to take a moment to say that I recently recommend your channel to my son's mother. She's spent the better part of a year in the hospital. Now she's recovering and really enjoys your videos. Your videos are helping her very well. Keep up the good work Randy
Really hope he sees this comment, would make his day. Can tell from his videos he's one og the most genuine guys going. Hope your sons mother does well and makes a great fast and full recovery. All the best
Hey Randy, when I am working late in the shop on my autos , I always watch or listen to a couple of your videos. Very well done and some good learning content. Keep up the great content. Watching and listening from Snohomish WA.
My friend bought a clean FX4 03 supercrew f150 3,500$ one owner, he was rear ended the next week totaled they gave him13,000$!!! He bought it back for 650$ then re sold it for 3,000$ all it needed was a rear bumper and rear back frame pulled. The guy who bought it for 3,000$ fixed it in one day then he sold it for 10,000$ crazy world!! I couldn't ever get that lucky. Love all ur vids Randy
That trailer back up is neat. If your backing a boat back it backs itself up and keeps the trailer straight by itself. That is a nice dark blue Ford truck.
Seeing that thunderbird brought me back to my childhood. My mom had a blue one, a red one, and a white one. One time, when she had the white one, I smashed my fingers in the door when we were at the grocery store. It was terrible because those doors were so heavy.
The trailer knob allows an unskilled driver to back up a trailer into a space with precision. It uses a camera display and the knob works like the steering the trailer
I just signed over my 2013 ford focus to copart. It had been in 3 different automobile accidents. The last accident occurred on the afternoon of September 14th. It got totaled in the last accident because of the air bags did deploy. I bought a 2016 Nissan Rouge .
Greatings from Guatemala city, and you make me very happy wen see that beatifull F150, my dream pick-up truck, excuseme if i dont writhe correct, I like too see your videos, and keep whith the good work. 👍
Trailer Backup, you use that little switch to inform the truck which way you want the trailer to go and let go of the steering wheel, the truck does the steering for you.
Randy. All the markings on that F150 is prior damage. Basically when the body shop checks the truck in they go around and determine wreck related damage and prior damage. Normally it is different color marker.
The Thunderbirds have a head gasket recall that year. I know that I had one. But I traded at a dealership and they deducted 1 thousand less. Got the recall notice 2 weeks later. Thanks
That T-Bird reminds me of my 91 Mercury Cougar.. I would buy it, replace that interior fix the mechanical issues, and keep it as a daily driver.. Older cars are much better, and more reliable then most not all new cars.
Oh heck yes I love the Hummers. Been looking for one for a while. My buddy wants to put a Cummings Swap in one. Engines are easy to Reman... Trans too. Best thing to do is consider a drive train overhaul if the Body and Interior will clean up. This one looks like a Nightmare in Wolfs Clothing ready to be Road Worthy... I wouldn't touch it unless it had a good body inside and out.
I'd love to see you pick up that T-Bird and make it nice again. As great as it sounded like it ran, that car deserves a 2nd lease on life. It'd be really awesome if you could find an old Turbo Coupe or SC with the 5-speed, too.
Thanks Randy for the dope Content at your local yard ! Man like you , just luv cars & the mystery ! Story behind them . Luv that big ford truck, NICE ! Thanks for sharing & taking time to edit the dope Content 👍× 4 f.k the haters. Blessings & Salute brother 👊 Shout out to Tim 🙌
Also you keep liking the running boards and it's sweet it's the Platinum that's the top-of-the-line F-150 you can buy there it has every single option the newer ones have massage seats I don't know what year that is
I'll be honest on the Buick, it may not be a great flip car, but I think it'd be a great rebuild for the channel. If you haven't already, don't send it back through the auction and do a engine swap, hell you could put anything in there. I think the channel revenue for it would pay for the car. You said you got over $3,000 on the GMC Sierra, I think the Buick would do well.
21:13 Hey, that kinda sounds like Uncle Buck's car! Funny how I also saw at least three K&N intake systems on these cars, although the T-Bird may have just been a filter and not the actual intake.
Luis Ramirez Copart Don't Wash cars cant you see the focus would have hundred's of puddle's all over it and it would cost them a fortune mile's of hosepipe's sponges and chameleather's and then there's the People they gotta pay the People !!
@@gerryb8274 That's funny! But I was being serious about the possibility that Copart is working with body shops to label good cars as "totaled" to scam the insurance companies. I'm probably wrong, but some of those cars look and perform wayyy too good to be totaled.
That FORD FOCUS just remove the paint on the hood take the hood off. Put some heat to it then put some ice on it the dents will pop out. Then the top put a sunroof, and leather top on it. Put $350 in it sale for $2000 over the $350
Great video, the thunderbird will probably be a good car for a first time driver. At the end of the video you were next to a blue car, looked interesting was it a Mitsubishi 3000 gt?
It's not really a button it's a knob but that's for backing up with a trailer on it you don't use the steering wheel you use that knob instead of backing up normal it shows you how to backup just using the knob like a trailer assist type of thing
Me: gets in fender bender Insurance company:your car is totaled because of a dent and a scratch Me: so no frame damage? Insurance company: nope but it’s totaled Me: wtf??????
I had a 75 Dodge van that got totaled being hit in sliding door and rear step bumper got bent down. I let them pay me fair value then bought it back from them for 250 got it repaired for less than they paid me. all's well that ends well.
Hey on the H3 Hummer you're talkin about the radiator fluid that's what happens when you mix the Dexcool with the regular green antifreeze I had a vehicle that had a new engine in it and still had one of the two radiator fluid got mixed in and lock the engine up that was on the dealer fault at that time
Green Thunderbird, boring. Probably 200k or more miles. You could buy it. Spend a lot of money on it, and still have a $600 - $1000 car. I liked the red Focus, it's a good little car. Thing is all the hail damage, no big deal. Could use it as a selling point. Compare it to a golf ball, what makes a golf ball sail through the air is all the dimples on the ball. Reduces drag and the ball goes further. Pretty sure Myth Busters put golf ball like dimples on a car, gas mileage went up. Try it.
I like the F150 Platinum. Too bad it will go higher $. I like Westin too! Good catch on the radiator on the H3. Tbird creak maybe their permanently sealed ball joints. Had a Crown Vic with same. It was a ball joint.
I would have the focus. But the others I would not bother with. The focus repair the bumper and replace the hood and paint it. Thunderbird looks like it has been through a rough time lol.
The f150 is a good buy since it is a v8 and light damage. The power boards are garbage once they ice up. That's a platinum edition so lots of goodies like massaging seats, rain sensing wipers, etc. But potential money pit if modules are messed up. It's a lux truck so payload and towing are way down compared to a 4x2 basic f150 with the same motor. It wont replace the 350 in terms of towing but would be a slick daily or good to flip The trailer backup thing is cool but gimmicky. It will turn the wheel based on how you turn that knob while using the backup camera to line up a trailer. Buy it if possible...damn good deal with the low miles
You should get the f150. It’s going to be expensive. I love the thunderbird. I drove the same year as my first car. Really good driver. Price of it now is real cheap. But it is a great car.
Randy: “it’s a chevy of course it’ll run”
Camaro: “knock knock knock”
Who's there?
Overlook the headliner and everything else, that Thunderbird is decent. I like it.
Never think you should shut up ,you talking about everything is part of what makes the channel !😀
Maybe,but he does love to talk ,I suppose that's just the way he is 😁 ! Sometimes I can't understand what he,s saying anyway,probly cos I'm from the u.k ,!
@@ASH.......................1976 that's alright, most of the time we can't understand y'all. Lol
Ditch the F250 and get this F150 if you can get it for a good price!
And YES, you should definitely make a video with Westen! That guy is just brilliant!
What price going for at auction!!!???
Will show auction
*I actually found the Thunderbird quite interesting!* The engine sounds fine.

Tim could do it with something fixable not a 146 t-bird they pulled a speedometer fuse
yea westen is an awesome guy, love to watch his videos.
Just wanted to take a moment to say that I recently recommend your channel to my son's mother. She's spent the better part of a year in the hospital. Now she's recovering and really enjoys your videos. Your videos are helping her very well. Keep up the good work Randy

@@mackenziehopkinson1238 thank you. She's doing well, considering this time last year she was in a bed . Getting around better etc.
I hope your mother keeps improving !

I like the fact that this guy doesn't only look at big trucks and sports cars but even daily driven small cars
Wow Westen Champlain has quite the diverse selection of content👍 thanks for the recommendation
Westen Champlin love his channel! been subbed since the first video $1000 7.3 truck

i like that Randy tries to start every car , that makes great content Randy
Those L.S. engines in that Camaro are worth rebuilding. They are great engines!

Yes do a video with Westen I watch both you guys. Are both Channels and very informative and entertaining
Why haven't you helped TJ Auto get more exposure. He is always there to help you,let's get him going.
Greatings from Guatemala city, and you make me very happy wen see that beatifull F150, my dream pick-up truck, excuseme if i dont writhe correct, I like too see your videos, and keep whith the good work. 👍
LOL, I heard you were a Chevy guy in a previous video... It sounds like the F150 blew your mind...
Factory platinum steps. They have about all the options on them
the ss camaro for parts, swap all on to 79 El Camino ;) Never mind just saw the interior never cleaned since new 100% pos
Trailer Backup, you use that little switch to inform the truck which way you want the trailer to go and let go of the steering wheel, the truck does the steering for you.
Randy. All the markings on that F150 is prior damage. Basically when the body shop checks the truck in they go around and determine wreck related damage and prior damage. Normally it is different color marker.
I really miss the carnage portions of the videos. Please bring them back.
He could do a short carnage section at the end that the sensitive and emotional viewers can skip.
The Thunderbirds have a head gasket recall that year. I know that I had one. But I traded at a dealership and they deducted 1 thousand less. Got the recall notice 2 weeks later. Thanks
I think that was mostly on the 3.8 V6. I know those always had head gasket issues.
Randy thank you for doing a video on the 95 green Thunderbird and I have a 1995 lx with 262,156 miles and I was told it was worth $1,500 and I love it
Man you got one bad azz RUclips account love your content and teaching i learn alot from you 💯🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥keep up the great knowledge you have
That generation of Thunderbird is my favorite by far. I'd say get it, if not for that slightly weird trans and the way the power steering creaks.
Grandma car
Work car
Those Thunderbirds are good cars too! Buff it some new bushings a new marker light! It would be a fun project cars for some kid!
Looks like they mixed coolant. If you mix dexcool it will gel up and clog everything up
Grab that Platinum F150. My dad just bought a new one. Great truck
That Ford Platinum Truck was Sweet..
T-bird is a good buy. Control arms are a cinch to change out.
That T-Bird reminds me of my 91 Mercury Cougar.. I would buy it, replace that interior fix the mechanical issues, and keep it as a daily driver.. Older cars are much better, and more reliable then most not all new cars.
I love westens channel I've been subscribed to him for a while. Absolutley you guys should do something together I think
Bobby Dockery going to subscribe after this video, but yes I really like Collaborations
Please Bring Back Carnage..... I Really Do Enjoy The Videos But Please Bring Back The Carnage 😀
What Colby said!!!
Blast from the past with that Thunderbird, owned a few, one that color.
Oh heck yes I love the Hummers. Been looking for one for a while. My buddy wants to put a Cummings Swap in one. Engines are easy to Reman... Trans too. Best thing to do is consider a drive train overhaul if the Body and Interior will clean up. This one looks like a Nightmare in Wolfs Clothing ready to be Road Worthy... I wouldn't touch it unless it had a good body inside and out.
I'd buy the Dodge Durango that was next to the thunder chicken. Durango's are SWEET!
I'd love to see you pick up that T-Bird and make it nice again. As great as it sounded like it ran, that car deserves a 2nd lease on life. It'd be really awesome if you could find an old Turbo Coupe or SC with the 5-speed, too.

THAT FORD Pick-up was the PLATINUM version. $75000.00 more or less.
Also you keep liking the running boards and it's sweet it's the Platinum that's the top-of-the-line F-150 you can buy there it has every single option the newer ones have massage seats I don't know what year that is
The trailer backup is to help you turn the trailer the right way when reversing
That 150 is a gem
I think you and western should do a meet up👍
Keep up your good work i thoroughly enjoy your channel👍
Backup knob will fine tune the steering when backing a trailer.
You should make some carnage only videos. I love junk yards and seeing wrecked cars.
nice content love it and the F150
I'll be honest on the Buick, it may not be a great flip car, but I think it'd be a great rebuild for the channel. If you haven't already, don't send it back through the auction and do a engine swap, hell you could put anything in there. I think the channel revenue for it would pay for the car.

Randy if you can the F150 is a must. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I seriously wish we had these gorgeous American pickups here in the UK. Sadly our fuel prices are ridiculous
Buy the thunderbird if it goes cheap, it's a pretty decent car and I would love to see it in on the channel
That Camaro looked TIGHT until you got to the other side..😂😂😂
😅😅Too much work on it
I would love that Camaro as a engine donor car 👍👍👍 miles mean nothing... well as long as it has not puked its guts out
Nothing a little engine rebuild and two turbos can’t fix. everything besides the engine though is beaten to hell
21:13 Hey, that kinda sounds like Uncle Buck's car!
Funny how I also saw at least three K&N intake systems on these cars, although the T-Bird may have just been a filter and not the actual intake.
Yeah Westen have lot's of fun video to watch
Focus looks like an orange golf ball, but, for the right price, it could be a great commuter car for someone
I’m the same, focus just as it is. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Put the CARNAGE back on the Copart walk around Randy!!
Imagine a trio of JR Go, Randy and Westen.
That f150 is an excellent bet if you can get it. That focus too those sell great. The thunderbird would be good content
Would love to see a collaboration!!
Keep up the good work randy!!
Great video and great truck the blue ford
Trailer backup is when u can turn that knob and the truck will steer the trailer it self
Trailer back is what it says on it. To help u back up your trailer!!!
That awesome-running F150 Platinum looks too amazing to be at a salvage yard. Could it be that people are running some sort of car laundering scam? 🤣
Luis Ramirez
Copart Don't Wash cars cant you see the focus would have hundred's of puddle's all over it and it would cost them a fortune mile's of hosepipe's sponges and chameleather's and then there's the People they gotta pay the People !!

That F150 a nice bit of kit as they say.
The Ford F150 Platinum is definitely fixable! I agree, slap the bumper on and send it! Lol 😁
Cool ThunderBird 😀
That F-150 could be a good score. Just put a new bumper on it and it'll be good to go. That Focus could be a good flip if it goes cheap enough.
You wasn’t sure why the Buick was there ether but you found out maybe with all the new structure at copart it will be easer to get a jump
Put the Chevy SS engine in go-cart?! Hell, now THAT'S a project! 😁😁
That FORD FOCUS just remove the paint on the hood take the hood off. Put some heat to it then put some ice on it the dents will pop out. Then the top put a sunroof, and leather top on it. Put $350 in it sale for $2000 over the $350
Can't believe the 3000gt is still there!
It's Westen Champlin!!!
Great video, the thunderbird will probably be a good car for a first time driver. At the end of the video you were next to a blue car, looked interesting was it a Mitsubishi 3000 gt?

I like the Thunderbird despite all the issues

Me: gets in fender bender
Insurance company:your car is totaled because of a dent and a scratch

You're killing me. I want the Ford 150; very nice indeed. Westin is a funny guy. You should go visit him.
That focus looks like who ever owned it was chasing hail storms through Oklahoma
Why not show some of these cars going through the auction? Cool video thanks for sharing.
