I remember when I walked through a couple Carolina yards. The cars in there getting picked to death were nicer than the one I'd driven down in. I don't see any rust on any of those.
My very first car when I got my license was a brand new 2000 Mercury Sable very similar to the one you have at the scrapyard, well had anyway, except mine was a gold color, had the 3.0 liter duratec v6 24 valve dohc engine, fully loaded, it was a great car to me, and it definitely took some abuse, the very first 6 months of its life, I did an 1 and 15 minute commute. 6 days week, 65 miles each way and on top of it once I got there to work, I used the car again for the next 10 hours delivering pizzas. So it would make sense for the check engine light to come on within the first 6 months of its life. When I returned the car after its lease to the dealership, it had 26,000 hard miles and a check engine light that I ignored for basically 2 years, lol.
Whatever you do, DON'T crush the hubcaps, I mean the metal ones, not the newer plastic ones! I saw a 1950s Ford F series hubcap in the hubcap bin! Metal hubcaps will SELL if you put those online!!!
Haha right? The yard is in a pretty warm southern state, so I guess less or no salt on the roads help the bodies to outlast the mechanicals. In the Northeast, Canada, UK etc and anywhere else it snows, it's the other way around - good working vehicles rotted out in a decade or less.
Andyco79 Ikr! The only passenger van for families with them are either Nissan nv3500, chevy Express, or the suburbans and gm full size trucks. Column shifters were the best, why did they have to go : (
Brock Smeltzer Nothing like an actual one. I mean that’s better than nothing or a floor shifter. But I would so prefer a real mechanical column shifter!
That loader and those Super Sick SAS forks can carry 3 easily. Slam 2 side by side 3rd on top center. Go through the front windshields of 2 bottom cars and carry away, smiling like a Big Dog on the yard.
That toy you found is a British Matchbox of an ERF cement mixer from the early- to mid-'60s. ERF stands for E.R. Foden, the person that started the company was a member of the family that also started Foden trucks...
Great Idea as it is a SMART MOVE!! Parts From Imports Are Worth More and The SUVs are Definately Heavier.. Never Seen So Many Exploders in one place, lol.. I ❤ FORD as I Have a '05 Ranger and a '12 Jeep Liberty. Next Stop Chrysler perhaps? Thanx 4 Posting as I and Many of Us in the Comments Enjoy Watching!!
Pretty cool what kid hasn't wanted to drive a front end loader and snag up some cars like you might have done with your hot wheels or other toy cars when you were young. for real though. Love it...
Hey Jay, if I needed a trim piece, you be down to sell it and me pay the shipping? I need a trim piece out a 90s Explorer. I'm looking for a cheap wood grain radio trim out a V8 Explorer from 98-01, it's what came in the Limiteds, not the matte black one, the wood one.
Ford exploder graveyard. (I love that my phone autocorrected 'explorer' to 'exploder' haha). Yeah, no point in saving these. Squash 'em all, and turn 'em into green 💸💵💰
That Crown Vic at 1:30. If its a 2005 or up does it have the factory cup holders because i am looking for them. Also if there is any police equipment like a ticket/dome light or spotlight etc I might also be interested.
How many miles on the white Ford Crown Victoria with the hood up stuffed in the back row by the mercury sable and the Ford Focus zx3? To me it’s sad to see cars in a yard like that.. I know lol.... but I just think about when they were brand new in a showroom and someone spent there hard earned money on a brand new car and then it just ends up in the crusher. But that’s the way it works 🤣
We should make more trips to the USA and buy these cars and send them to our country. Most of these cars on this square are in good condition. There are many countries where these cars would be very useful for ordinary people.
I remember when the Ford Expedition first came out, they were nice when new but I never bought one. I still see some of those first body style Expeditions on road in my area of course not in the best shape.
luv the MIRROR SHOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U will regret crushing the Exploders , how about setting up a deal with a few neighboring salvage yards, 4by4 centers, etc and have them remove and stockpile these parts on consignment then when sold U get a piece of the action, rust free doors and hatches are top sellers along with interior parts. lenses, try to get a co op going and see if it generates any cash .............

Amazing how many Explorers Ford made. I think it was something like 500,000 of the first generation. If the ones from Jurassic Park come in...save 'em. 😄
We're fixing to swap in a 302 V8 drivetrain into our mountaineer because the 4.0 SOHC is about shot after 350000 miles. Gonna try to get it as factory as possible. Down here in North Texas its hard to find a parts truck to transfer parts from though...
I need parts from a 2003 Ford wind star.do you have any.the poor cars.when I used to go to the junk yards.I collected the car manuals.from the glove boxes.to save.fun collectioning.
Looks like you need to use the excavator on some cars again. Is that a possibility for another vid? Since you have some cars up on the chopping block :)
I'm quite sad to see cars like that Merqury sable go. I'd love to have one of those but they where not exported to germany :-\ Greetings from over the pond thoug, i love to watch your videos
Looks more like the parking lot to a flea market than a scrapyard
Daryl Cohn I’ll take that as a compliment haha
@@MXguy95 would you sell me a old mustang for cheap outta your yard so I can rebuild it
@@HuskyGamersUNITE Then why don't you buy them and save them...hm?
And that little Matchbox toy is an ERF truck made in England!
It was from the 60's, because I had one as a kid. I recognized it immediately.
Yup, send it that Aussie guy who restores them. He'd love it!
Probably worth more than some of the wrecks to mate.
I remember when I walked through a couple Carolina yards. The cars in there getting picked to death were nicer than the one I'd driven down in. I don't see any rust on any of those.
302 powertrain still worth something, should pull that out of them at least, hard to find, especially if they are the awd ones.

Hubcaps don't take space either.
@@CR7659 No one wants them? I'd only want the vintage ones, not the plastic crap
@@markvanderwel7182 True, and they also make an awesome wall decoration.
@@nathankim7664 I stopped taking them to car shows because I was tired of spending 20 minutes picking them all back up having sold zero.
That part, where Jay said "yee yee."
I felt that.
We have worse cars on the road than you have on the dump)

@@moonbeamskies3346 Russia
Me too lol.
@@rich_edwards79 I'd ; like to walk that yard in the fall or maybe Jay takes a drone a does a flyover of the yard periodically
Hope u do a part 2. Thanks for the upload!
Now the last of the cars with Column Shifters are getting destroyed : (
42luke roblox I miss the column shifters

I still see the infamous yellow ford utility truck
End of an era my friend sad huh:/ things ain't never like they used to be
New cars suck
@@isakjohansson7134 I agree.
great video jay, nice to see more videos like this, hope to see more. have a great day
Send that Matchbox ERF mixer truck to MartysMatchboxMakeovers in Melbourne Australia.
This!
hi jay ,good to hear your voice.hows theold man doing,real good i hope.give him our love. peace out.

everyone is still doing gt40 swaps im big into the gt40 stuff,iv been looking for gt40s for months now cant find any!!!
Sitting in a 2nd gen 1997 Explorer watching this lol. Still runs and drives like new
Daniel L Same, i got a 98 V8 eddie bauer awd model myself
The Matchbox truck is a good one. Check out Marty's Matchbox Makeovers on RUclips. Maybe send it to him, he'd appreciate it.
I worked in a wrecking yard for 10 straight years up north. Winters were brutal. It brings back memories of doing that myself

Around here people still drive those Sables and Taurus cars..Granted most are falling apart..but people drive the wheels off those here.
Pretty cool what kid hasn't wanted to drive a front end loader and snag up some cars like you might have done with your hot wheels or other toy cars when you were young. for real though. Love it...
Martysmatchboxmakeovers would love that concrete mixer 😂😂
Damn, thats a nice Forester, I dont think youve made a video on that before.
Nigel Morgan I cannot get over how much I like your picture haha . Who drew it ?
@@MXguy95 He goes by Fluff Kevlar, just be careful what you look up from him, haha.

@@bonnellford2434 not true. I *love* that Mk6 Continental he had in a few days ago. Just not a fan of SUVs generally.
Ok

Jay no apologies necessary, business is business
Yeah the sable had to go do u have any 97 03 f150
how about doing a 30 day warning on scrapping the vehicle, this way list contents and give the buyers some heads up on status of wrecks

You can buy parts for that matchbox cement mixer so it’s restoreable
I used to have a black 2006 Forester XT turbo !!! It was an automatic tho lol. Still such a fun car. Sold it at 130k miles about 2 years ago
I remember when all these Ford/Mercury were new at the dealership
Plenty of space. Got some wreckers in OZ that hold twice as many cars in much less space. Oh also no mud and weeds.
Where is your yard at. I'd really like to come by and buy some parts for my 03 explorer
I remember when the Ford Expedition first came out, they were nice when new but I never bought one. I still see some of those first body style Expeditions on road in my area of course not in the best shape.

I have a 2005 s Subaru Forester L.Lbean turbocharged no problems ever LOLLLL
Plenty of room left if you ask me but you might call me a hoarder.
Jay do you still have your 89 ranger?, get one of those windsor V8's and swap it in.
Has anyone ever noticed 99% of Subaru drivers wear snap backs and vape?
You had quite a few Explorers.
exploders...................
i nearly pissed myself laughing when he rammed through those windows
Nice ! I like the longer vids
So what's the story with the Forester XT? I hope somebody didn't sell it for scrap!
Don't suppose you have a 1986 F150 tailgate panel in the yard? The aluminium with the red reflector with FORD on it.
Amazing how many Explorers Ford made. I think it was something like 500,000 of the first generation. If the ones from Jurassic Park come in...save 'em. 😄
I wanna see y'all crush a 2gen dodge ram because I drive one
Were you able to find the ticking noise in that one Freestar that was too good to scrap?

Hell a feller could use some front suspension parts off that 2 door explorer any body know where this yard is
Is the forester for sale?
Whats up with the Forester looks like an XT if you made a video on it I must of forgot haha
Cool video! I agree with previous comment please follow up with the vehicles being crushed
I love your videos bro even tho they break my heart sometimes !!
What is wrong with the Subaru?
That little toy you picked up is an old English truck make ERF I’m guessing 1960s
I had 2 Explorers identical to the 1st 2 in that 2nd row, and I had a Sable identical to the gray one in the very back row lol.
I will give you 5 bucks for that matchbox car
To me the 302 is still the Ford engine.
I need parts from a 2003 Ford wind star.do you have any.the poor cars.when I used to go to the junk yards.I collected the car manuals.from the glove boxes.to save.fun collectioning.

Sometimes it must be hard to choose which cars go , do you find that at all Jay ?.
Thank you for bringing us along with you :)
Enceladus Fox ahhh so I have found you again! Haha
@@MXguy95 Yup you found me again :)
That Subareu should be one of them getting picked up with the Forklift!! (ALL) Asian brands...
That matchbox cement mixer is a Lindsey 1967! I know some RUclips's and sites to restore that gem!👍
Nothing wrong scrapping them there fords
here in Texas we have cars everywhere a flood came most cars have mold
Do you guys still have that Saab 9-3?
Im looking for wheels for 1999 dogde van 1500
I'm quite sad to see cars like that Merqury sable go. I'd love to have one of those but they where not exported to germany :-\
Greetings from over the pond thoug, i love to watch your videos
You dont have any chevy duallys do you?
Hey I need those GT40 heads/intake! Yes I'm still building a Windsor motor...
Is that loader one of coparts old ones
That Blue Ford Freestar isn’t getting crushed right?
42luke roblox I think that was off an old video I watched recently?
those rust free explorers and parts wood bring good $$$$ up here in NE
Omg hi
How much for that turbo Forester?
Do you just sell intakes and heads off engines or do you have to buy the whole engine?
Love that subaru! Been daily driving one of those recently, it’s a really super car. Is it still around, or has it been sent on?
That matchbox concrete truck is rare, you should look up someone to do a restoration and then auction it.
Very interesting....can we get a part 2?
Roll down the windows before the loader takes them away.. Much less mess...
Are you the owner or just manager?
Awesome video
That Matchbox is worth some money
LS carp I still remember the LT1 swap was good well for chevy
I’d be curious if you’ve got a price on that forester XT you started off in. Those are pretty sweet.
Any good center console covers on those 90s explorers
What's the story with the blue Ford fiesta in the back?
I guess that blue Freestar from your last video wasn’t worth saving... or is that another one?
Foam filled tires on your loader?
I want to see crushing videos!!! Its a great stress relief to destroy stuff
Why do they bust the windows when they pick up cars?
@Jay smart I am getting a 1995 Town Car tomorrow, I hope you have any advice from what challenges you had on yours
Heck ya! Those are great hoopties!
You dont by chance have any newer ford fusions do you??
You won't catch me putting an LS in any Ford product.
Wow 2 at a time
Your like the car executioner marking them for death
Are you still squishing them yourselves or do you have a crusher come in?
Good video 😀
