Watching that 1971 Mustang Fastback get flattened really hurt my heart! I hated seeing them all get crushed, yes even the Honda Civic. Though I would not have cried seeing a Honda Civic get smashed.
Some people may cry about the 71 Mustang,75? Cutlass,90s Firebird and the 82? EXP. But these cars were in the salt and rust belt. The Mustang crushed so easy because it was rotted and mostly rust. The EXP had rot issues and the Firebird was rotted out in the back end. The Cutlass was a pile of rust as well. I knew a guy who bought a rare 1971 429 Mach 1 Mustang. It had been setting in a field on the ground since 1980. He bought it in 2004 for $2,500 as restoration project. I went with him to get the car. He hired a friend with a roll back to haul it home. Got some tires on it to move it. Got the car moving and it broke in half at the door jams. He was sick when it happened. The cars owner after a heated argument gave him his money back. And I bought the rotted remains for $150 buck's and gave the wrecker owner $75 to haul it my place. I scrapped the Mustang and made my money back plus $850 profit. Oh I know you by patch panels and such. But in a case like this. When the car is severely rotted out. I scrap them because a person can sink $15 Gs into repairing a body this rotten. Cars like these are beyond any reasonable repair or restoration. Just scrap them and put the parts on better and more useable cars.
@SISSY Ladyboys Yeah I made a lot of money when I was a teenager in the 80s. Selling a lot of GM body panels. A guy from the Chicago area would come through SW Missouri on buying trips. The local salvage yard would send him by. The Owners were family relatives. Kept Chevelle,Camaro and Firebirds. They were cheap in the Early and Mid 80s and fairly plentiful then. Big full size cars from the 60s and 70s were dirt cheap because of the 1979 gas crisis. 50s clunkers were free to $50 bucks running or not. The tri 5 Chevrolets were popular but that was it. Bought a 1959 Buick Electra for $25 bucks. Had old gas and bad tires but fixed it up and drove it. Cleaned it up and got $1,500 bucks for it. Yeah the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and the 1979 gas crisis and emission control standards killed a lot of really good and nice cars. When I was salvaging and repairing cars. A lot of late 50s and early 60s cars had plates that ran out in 1973 to 1979. The 176 acre farm I grew up on had a machine shop and fully equipped garage. My Dad was a Journeyman Machinist and Master tool and dye builder and a Journeyman Millwright. Had a small salvage on a 10acre plot that was rocky and grew shumake and sage. That was the car ,truck and busted farm equipment pile. I've had cars that came from Illinois,Wisconsin,Minnesota and Baltimore Maryland. As soon as they got here to SW Missouri. The humidity here would activate the salt in the nooks and crannies in the frame and bodies. And rot them from the inside out. I have a 73 Cadillac Coupe Deville still setting out there on a hillside. That's the Baltimore car. The rear frame has rotted completely away. And the car from the front floor boards back has rotted away and collapsed and the rear differential has rolled to bottom of hill. Roof rotted away and most of front of the car is rotted through.
The rear bumper on the cutlass is money that was always the first thing that fell off of those cars who else remembers seeing a cutlass in their neighborhood with a 2 X 12 rear bumper with a license plate nailed to it
It's kinda sad to see the 1971 Ford Mustang Fastback and 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am crushed. They've definitely seen better days. That 1986 Ford Escort EXP probably could've been restored... if anyone cared about doing it.
Back in the 70s I watched Mopar 6-pack cars, Hemi cars, convertible Fords and Chevys, Boss Mustangs... All get crushed. Many of those cars today would have been restored. Yes that's what makes the others that survived it all, the more valuable
Back in the day they were gas hogging dinosaurs. I remember them being called that. The 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and 79 Gas crisis killed a lot of them off. I was a teenager in the early 80s. Man $400 would by a lot of car then. I gave $25 bucks for a running 4dr hardtop 59 Buick Electra. Super nice car with dealer add on air. Tags were up in 1973. Old couple had it and they had a 74 Ford Maverick 6cylinder 4dr. Drove it home and cleaned it up and sold it to a collector for $1,800.
Sad to see cars crushed but how many people have tried selling classic car parts to a restorer? No one will pay you the time it takes to remove a 40-50 year old part in most cases. I tried giving parts away after my restoration for free. Then people bitched that I wanted $25 to box or crate a larger part. I finally scrapped most of them.
The Cutlass made me really sad when crushed because I have a 74' Cutlass salon and I could have used some of those parts !!!! They are getting hard to find specially for 74' cars. 74' Cutlass was the pace car for the Indy 500 that yr
I had an Oldsmobile like that red one except mine was dark green. Paid 100 bucks for her and began my trip to Tucson towing a trailer. I got as far as Roswell NM before the rearend shifted because of rust and it pulled the driveshaft out.. junked her there. She was named Joan, after joan collins
Honda's and crap like that are ready for crushing at 12 months old, no loss. The old American classics, if they had Half a brain and looked on the internet they would realise that a rusted out hulk Mustang or Cameron is still worth a starting price of $15,000.00. I've seen then here in Australia having vertically every panel replaced, plus complete floor pan boot to firewall. Then firewall etc. Possibly $30,000.00 under the Honda. What is 4 crushed pieces of shit worth in scrap weight ? $1,000.00 ?
People crying over the literally worthless EXP when that Gone in 60 Seconds Mustang needed a quarter panel, a front clip and some minor rust repair but someone decided to crush it instead. Really sucks too cause it was a fastback. I've been doing paint and body work and restoring cars for over a decade now and it hurt seeing a fixable shell of one of the most iconic muscle cars ever get destroyed for a hundred dollars worth of metal weight. I guess crackheads need to eat too though, even if it comes at the price of our automotive and industrial history.
Everyone likes what they like. I respect that you restore cars I have some American muscle that I have from the cruiser. And yes. The mustang is a sad sight to see that it got crushed. But with all the cars that get crushed. No one knows the severity of the car. How are the floors. Torque boxes. Why did they crush it instead of saving it. No one knows the reasoning for it.
@@nickpolselli2032 That kind of stuff doesn't matter anymore and is just a lame excuse to put a good car into the crusher. New floor pans and torque boxes for a car like that cost less than most people pay for a cheap TV these days and I've put new floors and frame rails in several customers cars and my own cars over the years. This was a complete waste of a good restoration platform even if it had title problems or something like that.
@@Impactjunky I won’t disagree there. From what I have seen in the past. Some places don’t care if it’s rare or old. Some places just care about scrap weight. And that’s why sometimes cars like this we get crushed. Some people see it as just a car. Or just scrap metal. They don’t look at it as you me or some other people do. Expanse. There was a classic car graveyard in my area. The owner died and the family wanted nothing to do with it. So they just called a. Recycler. It’s sad that cars like that have to meet the demise that they do
Usually the land owner inherits the cars with the land and has no interest, especially if there’s no title with the car. You have to deal with advertising the vehicle, showing potential buyers, getting dicked about over pricing or someone who just wants a bumper and can they collect it next month... gets to the point where the junkyard offers cash and will be there tomorrow. I hate seeing any classic crushed but I completely understand why it happens.
Did you see how much rust was on the unibody structure beneath the fender? This car already gave up it's life in reusable parts...it had major collision damage. Still lots of better chassis upon which to build your dream 'stang...and yes, I'm a Mustang guy!
I ran a crusher for a while & crushed out cars that made me upset than and now but when you do mobil crushing and have 2-3 truck trailer and pup trailer to keep loading there's no time to pull parts as you make your cash from weight. Look at it this way every one crushed makes the rest left that much more valuable
What I like about this guy is most of what can be saved is before the crusher is used. Usually either the bodywork is shot or the car has been standing that long it's past the point of rescue
So sad to see these cars go from tbat time period. We are told the pieces of junk built today are better not by a mile!! There was craftsmanship in that time . Today they are slapped together saying well be glad you got 7 yrs. ( when there are cars& vans lasting 30 yes.) One day we are going to wish we kept them all.
The cutlass had some parts on it that looked in great shape, i feel like the people running this place have no idea the kind of money they are destroying, not to mention the history being lost.
Not much left to save, all rotten junk! Only thing is the stainless steel Mustang hubcap that could have been saved. Looks like it escaped damage from the crusher.
I used to own one. They were not high quality cars built to last. Rust in the rear strut towers are what did mine in, it was too dangerous to keep on the road and the cost of having new ones welded in wasn't worth it by that point
It's sad and a shame that Mustang fastback is going to waste being crushed. It was a great car bac in it's day and would have been today to for somebody to enjoy
@@tomcat630 I have contributed to those cars getting fully put back together from nothing but serial numbers as long as the serial numbers are a set that is worth doing it for and you have the numbers matching motor and trans or at least a motor that is of the same genre or year and it's a rare enough package to be valuable anything can be put back together with the reproduction parts they have now as long as you got to set a serial numbers
Do the fork lift guys really have to hold the cars in place while the crusher operates? Has a car ever fallen out? I think they just like breaking the windows. Just get on with it already!
Boy this place just sets money on fire throwing stuff away. That Cutlass isn't super exciting but it wasn't too rotty and had a lot of bits that would sell. I mean if I was this camera guy I'd have this place mark every car they want to crush, I'd look up every one on eBay and see what sells and I'd pick them before they get pressed. Pay up front for the whole car if I had to.
Eh. Just another northern rotter infested with rust. A friend of mine had a 76 4dr Cutlass. It came from Rockford Illinois. Loaded with rust and rot. But had a 350 4bl Olds 350 TH Trans that was in really good shape. Pulled the engine and trans out of it and put it in a 82 G- Body Buick Skylark. That Olds donated lots of parts for the the swap. That Buick would eat up a lot of highway after that.
@@CR7659 Wasn't the G- Body a Special or something. I just remember it was the 2dr coupe RWD. Wasn't the Full size car though. Same body as the Buick G.S.
@@dougslittlediesel 80s Buick RWD cars included midsize Century and Regal and full size Electra and LeSabre. Regal was coupe only, what the Grand National was based on. Century I think only came as a 2-door fastback for a couple years, there is a coupe body for this style but I don't know that Buick got it.
Imagine that I am wearing only a disposable diaper and that I am in one of these vehicles and there are ten opened packs of disposable diapers and two dozen wet and clean cloth diapers from a diaper service inside. I am laying down across the back seats.....
The forklift operator sees me and knows I am in there......Even the car crusher operator sees me.....is there anything that anyone would do or say as they watch?
That was a nice pancake you made with that olds. Still don't know why this junk yard keeps their inventory for so long. This shit would have been crushed years ago if I ran this yard. Dead inventory.
My first car was a black with gray ground effects '87 EXP sport coupe. Had a 5 speed with the High Output engine with 115HP which wasn't too bad for the era. Unfortunately it was still pretty slow, ate wheel bearings, exhaust and struts for lunch yearly and prone to rust. Had to give it up in 2001 after the rear strut towers were rotted away from the inside risking the whole back end to collapse I liked the Recaro style bucket seats borrowed from the Mustang GT, the aluminum wheels shared with the Escort GT, sunroof and the overall style of the car. I had rear window louvers over the back hatch too. It looked pretty cool but those cars were not built to last nor get much performance. I always thought a retro mod with one would be neat...ABS disc brakes all around, the 2.0 turbo from a Focus ST and upgrade the transmission and suspension to handle it.
Plus the EXP and LN7 were based on the Escort and Lynx platform. LN7 only sold in 82 and 83, due to poor sales. My dad happened to drive an LN7 when I was born.
,,,,,,,,news. Flash..................ALL old mustang original parts are = in gold prices....they said....,,wtf..who owns a yard,and does not have room for a muscle car that is sought after,,,dead or kinda dead....stupid is stupid ( big regret soon)...😯😯😯
They're on their way to China to come back as bicycles, air conditioners and reproduction Camaro quarter panels in a couple of months
Has anyone seen my bike? I left it up against a red car somewhere....
These old heaps bring back a lot of memories. Not necessarily GOOD memories, but still....
I'm thinking about the people that rode in that car and the things that happen inside that car. Only if that car Could talk.
The cars can't talk they all signed a confidentiality agreement lol
That babyish
Is
B yeah lol

Hey, the rear bumper and tail light bezzels are still good!

It’s funny to think 50 year old Mustangs are still being crushed. They must have built them in thier millions.

@@dougslittlediesel 80s Buick RWD cars included midsize Century and Regal and full size Electra and LeSabre. Regal was coupe only, what the Grand National was based on. Century I think only came as a 2-door fastback for a couple years, there is a coupe body for this style but I don't know that Buick got it.
Sorry to bother you but you haven’t seen a bike laying around here have you?
Crush more cars when you can give us a tour of your yard
It was a movie in the 70s: The Beauty Americana !!...... This Guy here destroys exactly that beauty !!
Imagine that I am wearing only a disposable diaper and that I am in one of these vehicles and there are ten opened packs of disposable diapers and two dozen wet and clean cloth diapers from a diaper service inside. I am laying down across the back seats.....
The forklift operator sees me and knows I am in there......Even the car crusher operator sees me.....is there anything that anyone would do or say as they watch?
Say that I was inside the 1987 firebird in the backseat with all of my diapers while wearing just a diaper......
These are all great cars!! Would have been great for parts! Crush all the Euro cars and make new tires for the Firebird with them!!
We must crush all fucking Euro and JDM cars
just crush american junk, leave euro and jdm stuff alone
@@simonomisimonomis fuck all euro and jdm
@@simonomisimonomis i have a yunkyard too, i crush only euro and jdm
That's the smallest Honda Civic I seen
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WWHYYYYYYY WHY WOULD YOU CRUSH THE MUSTANG, you monster 😭
Was that last car that was crushed honda civic?
All piles of rust with parts missing, no loss they're flattened now.
Only unique car here was the EXP.
the exp is junk
Where do all these junkers go?
To a metal processing plant to be shredded and recycled
...then on a rail car to the nearest port, then on a cargo ship to Shenzen. To be made into a toaster.
Allot of space to pack all those gas can clean around the crusher.
That was a nice pancake you made with that olds. Still don't know why this junk yard keeps their inventory for so long. This shit would have been crushed years ago if I ran this yard. Dead inventory.
I think they are kept until they are unfixable and fair chance is given to strip them of usable parts and running gear first
Boa noite amigo
I know a guy that coulda used that exp for a hornet
Someone probs could have restored those cars lol
Have you driven a Ford lately?
The loader guy is inexperienced.
yay crush
Sad really .lots of usefull spares.
I never heard of a Ford Escort EXP
Second generation EXP, looked more like a Escort
My first car was a black with gray ground effects '87 EXP sport coupe. Had a 5 speed with the High Output engine with 115HP which wasn't too bad for the era. Unfortunately it was still pretty slow, ate wheel bearings, exhaust and struts for lunch yearly and prone to rust. Had to give it up in 2001 after the rear strut towers were rotted away from the inside risking the whole back end to collapse
I liked the Recaro style bucket seats borrowed from the Mustang GT, the aluminum wheels shared with the Escort GT, sunroof and the overall style of the car. I had rear window louvers over the back hatch too. It looked pretty cool but those cars were not built to last nor get much performance. I always thought a retro mod with one would be neat...ABS disc brakes all around, the 2.0 turbo from a Focus ST and upgrade the transmission and suspension to handle it.
I had a tan 87 exp cool little car
@@bobmorrison5636 after many years of driving my EXP and upgrading to a '93 Probe GT with the 165 HP V6, it was driving a rocketship by comparison lol
Plus the EXP and LN7 were based on the Escort and Lynx platform. LN7 only sold in 82 and 83, due to poor sales. My dad happened to drive an LN7 when I was born.
7:16 I don't know maybe A Chevrolet corrvet
Not the Cutlass!! J/k
Some tweakers bike in the engine compartment? He forgot
