Tom Another five episodes of this wonderful place would be very appreciated by all of us who look forward to your finds. This place was truly amazing. Thanks for continuing to search out these hideaways....
That's one rare Nash. I'm an owner of a 1957 Nash Ambassador, there are only a handful of them that have survived. Nice to see that it's definitely restorable. It would have had an AMC 327 V8 originally. AMC's first V8 engine.
OsbornTramain You are wrong AMC's first V8 engine was manufactured in 1956 and was a 250. American Motors' first V8 in-house engine, the 250, was used in AMC automobiles from 1956 through 1961 and made its debut in the Nash Ambassador and Hudson Hornet "Specials" of 1956. Just thought I would help you keep the history going.
What an episode this has been. I'm glad the owner decided to sell, cause there is so much treasure in there that needs to be saved. Also, i just noticed that this is episode 57(!). I've followed this series since the very first episode and i really can't comprehend how time went by! This is one of the very best car series in YT and TV. Thanks a lot Tom and Hagerty! Greetings from Greece!
DimZ The owner decided to sell. Red, the owner, might put a car outside the gate every 3 to 5 years just to find out what offers he will get. He has not sold a car in over 10 years and I don't think he will before he dies.
@@mmill6505 Ohh, i see. That's really sad... Let's hope Red changes his mind. It's not like we can take things on the other side and a lot of these cars could be saved.
this video changed the course of my life as a car guy. in december 2019, i contacted this yard with the help of mr cotter and purchased the 1962 ambulance, and while it didnt really go well with that car i cant help but feel like i wouldnt be the same person right now if i hadnt watched this video. im so glad this video was made, not only for me, but because reds yard will live forever here no matter what happens in the coming years.
GETUP AND GO I thought he was going to be a jerk at first honestly, turned out to one of the best ones. Kinda makes or breaks the video’s for me on this channel. Not a huge fan of the main host. Not complaining either.
WOW! It boggles the mind that such a collection can still exist. Since I'm not Tom Cotter, Barn Find Hunter I'll never get to see it so thanks so much for finding and sharing.
Doesn't matter, you still would not have really seen anything anyway. The main charater is Tom Cotter and all you see is him bullshiting about a lot of bullshit and not really looking at the cars. I like the show and I like him, but not the content. You don't really get to see the cars and best ones there are the ones he doesn't really know anything about and won't be shown that much if he doesn't bullshit about it.
Red is right about certain people say they want their stuff but never come back for it. Just like storage units and stuff left behind. I work in the dealership parts world. When you order a part special order, it's pre-pay because if we didn't require pre-pay we'd be loaded-up with special order parts. The crazy thing is the amount of pre-paid parts people don't ever come back for. Expensive stuff too. People are weird.
People change their mind or can't stay focused on a project or idea. I have 3 projects. Just in one day while thinking and planning and working on one car plans changed. You start a project you find out how much it cost or it turns out it was not an easy fix so things change. Also sometimes you make a deal sleep on it and the next day you don't want it. The wife and I went car shopping and the first car we looked at I knew we would buy it but the wife had to look at other cars. She realized the first car was in excellent condition but it had been sitting in a garage for ten years I told her I will get it running. So all of us change our minds after thinking and something else better gets in the way or we are too dumb to make a decision.
This video just made my day. It makes me think of my Grandfather when he was alive. He was also a World War II veteran who served our country. This was really positive that you could do this for him. Great Job!
Always excited to see another episode of Barn Find Hunter :) If a 1937 BMW 328 racer can end up sitting in Iowa for decades, then anything’s possible when looking for old cars.
I can sit for hours and watch these videos. Tom is a pretty good guy, he don't go around trying to buy stuff up for next to nothing. It's good that he offers to the owners of the yards, the availability to sell the cars that they have.
I congratulate you on your persistence, Mr. Cotter! 30 years ago, I bought a '77 Cordoba - & people told me "Ahhh, you'll never get that running!" But in about 3 months time, those same people were asking for rides. Keep doing what you're doing - it works! If I had the money, time, & space, I'd buy 5-10 of those vehicles & somehow put them back on the road. Maybe they wouldn't be "Concours" but then again I wouldn't be building trailer queens.
My father owned an auto body shop when I was growing up, and we used to hit the junk yards on Saturday mornings. He'd say to me on Friday night, "if you want to go to the junk yard with me tomorrow, you better be up on time." Needless to say, I didn't sleep a wink. Some of my fondest memories are looking for, and removing, parts in the old junk yards. I can still picture the old offices full of dusty old parts and a mangy mutt sleeping in the corner. Great memories.
I am in Krabi Thailand watching the show. I loved it! I own a 1963 Lincoln Continental. I would love to get one of those old trucks if I were still in America. Love the show. Keep it going. I absolutely must find a junk yard like that.
What an amazing experience to go threw the yard visually, I would LOVE to take the entire day going threw this yard. Thanks for the video, was very nostalgic.
My goodness. What a privilege it would've been to see all these vehicles in person. I personally would have been in heaven seeing the old trucks. Great content!
Nicely done show, obviously many of us wouldn't mind a longer tour or a part II & III. And be interesting to know if viewers here are able to make some deals.
I believe that wheel is a Western Cyclone. American Racing had a similar wheel they called a Vector. They were pretty cool in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
Hey, Tom. Still hoping to find a '63 Ranchero with a 260 or 289 with manual. That one up in Michigan really lit my fire. Hope to catch you and your son again soon at a vintage race. Rollin says hi and thanks for the compressor motor. And - when we did Yellowstone a couple summers ago, my biggest thrill was seeing the White Motor Company tour buses like the one you found here. My dad and grandad were White Motor truck dealers when I was growing up in Hickory.
We had a couple of the tour buses back in the 80's. They had been restored and we were using them for tours through Rocky Mountain National Park out of Estes Park. I always thought they were 1934's. I imagine that one got down there same as those got up to Estes. Great memories.
@@cbro777 I agree - the drone could be a GREAT tool for this series but a nice smooth fly through not fancy do flips and fast turns etc. I am a drone pilot I would not have shot it this way ...
The photos of the White Mod. 704 Yellowstone Park tour bus you pulled up on the cell is a restomod that the park currently runs, with the bus body mounted to a Ford truck chassis/driveline. Worked for a facility in Wilsall MT that restores the 704 to original, and it's a shame nobody told you about Tracy's place while you were in this part of Montana-he has a lot of stuff up there and looooooves to show it off.
A damn shame so many legends of automotive engineering will never have see the light of day...please tell me their is a part 2 to this yard!! The old ambo/coaches particularly intrigue me!!
I hope they sell a few cars from the airing of this show and get you back. I could watch raw uncut footage for hours of you guys just walking around talking about each car. Awesome
Oh man these are my favourite type of videos! Most people see wasted cars but being a kiwi I don't often see classics like this, and so a junk yard usually has all the best stuff in one place! (Dont get me wrong I love covered collections to, junkyards just have the greatest character every single one is unique)
I was born in NZ and as a teen me and the mates would often go into the countryside looking for old tin. Being part Maori helped because I knew how to approach older folk and ask about the cars they had laying about. The biggest find we ever had was a Ngaruawahia , between the state highway and the rail line. The NZR had been taking sand from a huge hole there for years .In the bottom was a car wrecker ,the place was full of prewar fords . Dozens of them . Over a whole weekend we moved a few car loads of parts out of there. the hole is filled now but it was pretty well cleaned out .
I love looking at old cars like these --would never actually want to buy and/restore one of them (well, maybe the Lincoln Continental 2dr) but they're sure fun to look at. Great work. Tom
Back in the day they couldn't give these cars away no one really wanted them and people would be very surprised anybody would want an old car they saw them as obsolete junk.
The slant 4 in the Scout is all International. They came in two sizes, a 152 or a 196. The gaskets, distributor cap, points cam, camshaft, crankshaft, harmonic balancer, carb, and block and manifold castings are about the only 4 cylinder specific parts in the engine. Every thing else can be had by ordering parts for either a 304 or 392 International V8. That's how I rebuilt the 196 that was in my '71 Scout....
@@Hagerty It is an honor to actually receive a reply from you of all people. I cannot say enough good things. Been a long time subscriber and personally obsessed with old cars, just like you who knows way more info than I do. Hope you were able to buy that rare Lincoln. Best to you and keep up the great work!
It's time to start selling cars. But the fact is they all cost more to fix than what they are worth. So they will sit and rot away. Even if you got a car for free it is still not worth it.
The guy that hosts the show will only bullshit about what he thinks he knows about and those are the only cars that he will bullshit about, or the camera person wil actually show for that matter. The drone flyby might show you something but don't blink when watching.
Like many who watch this video it takes me back to my youth when I used to haunt junk yards, I loved them. I can so see myself in my next life putting together a junk car collection and keeping it all to myself... I completely understand Red's mindset.
Gotta admit never was this happy about some random guy calling another random guy to come and hang out in his junkyard...i need therapy probably in the junkyard as well😂
I could of watched this episode for hrs. These cars tell our history. When I get my back fixed , I think I would love to make one of those scouts part of my future. Thanks for bringing us such great content.
When I was in high school,many junkyards were full of good stuff(1976).You could just explore and pull your own parts.They were cheap and plentiful,more wrecks with hot rods.I found a big ditch full of corvettes,c3, in Va.,pulled all the rotors,etc.Told one of my friends and they got a whole IRS rearend out of there. I end up stripping and crushing a 69 ram air IV GTO, still crying.
Every car person eventually meets someone like Red....glad he found "spokesman" to handle things. Most old guys like that end up just sitting on this stuff until they die, and then it all gets scrapped.
The continental two door is a fine lookin' automobile for sure! . If Jim were to take a pic of each vehicle in the lot and set up a link page ,he might be able to shift them quicker as I'm guessing Red is not a young man and would appreciate a few less things sitting around . Many thanks to Red for helping preserve a little part of history.
i can t believe haggerty didnt know a nash when he seen it. must be the heat ;) i love this show, i have to keep watching to remember what i forgot over the years.
if you compare a yellow stone tour bus to the one on this episode they're are differences....The back is flat and not round..The amount of windows/front window, it seems like this a shorter version of the tour bus used at yellowstone.
Thanks for the video and thanks Red/Jim for allowing us there and showing us around. I get so frustrated at times, i hate seeing cars sit around when they have so much potential and reality is you can't take money or cars to heaven so why not let other people have/use them or least help restore them before all the greats are gone.
Love these old auto salvage yard tours. I used to wander through them in my 20s and 30s, dreaming of the possibilities. I don't get why people invest so much time and money into acquiring these old cars, just to let them rot in the elements for decades. Humans are a strange species.
The scout engine is a 172-1/2 . It uses half the components from a 345 International V-8 Engine. The cylinder head will fit either side of the V-8 engine or vice-versa, pistons and rods can be swapped. the four can use a V-8 distributor cap. the valve cover will fit a eight or the eight can yield two valve covers for the 4. The concept was ahead of it's time.
Not quite. The engine in all Scout 80's of those years (61-65) was an IH 152, which was half of the IH 304 V8. IH never did field a slant 4 which was half of the 345, it did however make a 4-196 which was half of a V392. The 196 replaced the 152 as the standard engine soon after introduction of the Scout 800 in 1966, although the 152 lingered as an option for several more years.
Anybody that buys anything from there should post it ,I know Guys that have salvageable Cars that they will never get around to restoring ,But the Dream is to strong to let go ...Then the Guy dies and the Kids let stuff go cheap ...

Many condolences , thank you for sharing his life's works .
My condolences about your Grandpa Red.
Sorry for your loss. Hope some is still running the place. Love to come out there and buy something.
Wow you must have some great memories as a kid in that yard, sorry about your gramps.
Condolences.

Yes, I call them motors if they are electric and engines if they have explosions on the inside.
So many lost and forgotten cars and trucks waiting to be made whole again, to be driven and loved, again.

Best series on RUclips, by far
A wrecker museum with potential beyond belief for originality and eclectic style

Ya, Red should have sold them.... and shawnbob was right his daughters are selling them for scrap right now.... super sad
very cool yard, love that cars aren't rotted, actually a lot of rebuild potentials
Thanks for not walking by the Camaros. Great yard!
The guy that hosts the show will only bullshit about what he thinks he knows about and those are the only cars that he will bullshit about, or the camera person wil actually show for that matter. The drone flyby might show you something but don't blink when watching.
Like many who watch this video it takes me back to my youth when I used to haunt junk yards, I loved them. I can so see myself in my next life putting together a junk car collection and keeping it all to myself... I completely understand Red's mindset.
Gotta admit never was this happy about some random guy calling another random guy to come and hang out in his junkyard...i need therapy probably in the junkyard as well😂
Did we just become best friends?
@@5thgen691 we always been buddy, just found out about each other now😀
I think we need to have junkyard anonymous meetings at Red's place every Tuesday at 3:30.
Haha
I'm in
Pick a car to cherish
I could of watched this episode for hrs. These cars tell our history. When I get my back fixed , I think I would love to make one of those scouts part of my future. Thanks for bringing us such great content.
Who saw the ambulance on the drone footage and yelled "Ghostbuster's"?
That used to be one of my favourite pastimes, walking thru old auto wrecking yards . Man , I miss that !
Video aired 5 days ago ..... 760k subscribers ..... I bet the phone hasn't stopped ringin' yet !
Great video. I am in my 70’s and grew up with those cars.
Thanks for doing what you do. Always entertaining! Good stuff.
Yay! A new episode of our fave RUclips channel with Tom Cotton! How about one featuring his own collection??
That tropical yellow foxbody is rare too
When I was in high school,many junkyards were full of good stuff(1976).You could just explore and pull your own parts.They were cheap and plentiful,more wrecks with hot rods.I found a big ditch full of corvettes,c3, in Va.,pulled all the rotors,etc.Told one of my friends and they got a whole IRS rearend out of there. I end up stripping and crushing a 69 ram air IV GTO, still crying.
Every car person eventually meets someone like Red....glad he found "spokesman" to handle things. Most old guys like that end up just sitting on this stuff until they die, and then it all gets scrapped.
The continental two door is a fine lookin' automobile for sure! . If Jim were to take a pic of each vehicle in the lot and set up a link page ,he might be able to shift them quicker as I'm guessing Red is not a young man and would appreciate a few less things sitting around . Many thanks to Red for helping preserve a little part of history.
Mercmad Red is the kind that sells none a year so they just sit there waiting for him to die.
@@mmill6505 How do you know?
@@jimmccune568 I was there 22 years ago and I see most of the cars in this video that I seen then.
I love the host’s attitude
My most awaited series! Nice work Tom & the crew!
What I wouldn't give to spend time walking that yard
I'd like to walk it with ya
My kinda girl!
i can t believe haggerty didnt know a nash when he seen it. must be the heat ;) i love this show, i have to keep watching to remember what i forgot over the years.
8:14 kool corvair pickup too restore.
16:41 That's rare 35 Ford Yellowstone Van
if you compare a yellow stone tour bus to the one on this episode they're are differences....The back is flat and not round..The amount of windows/front window, it seems like this a shorter version of the tour bus used at yellowstone.
@@JMB-gt6of The bus in the pictures was based on the White chassis.
Living in NYC the idea of acres of cars just sitting idle is mind bending, the potential for hundreds of restorations is astounding
Thanks , amazing cars. I saw several I was interested in. A few early Firebirds
Sorry for the loss of red. Hope they keep it open
Thanks for the video and thanks Red/Jim for allowing us there and showing us around.
I get so frustrated at times, i hate seeing cars sit around when they have so much potential and reality is you can't take money or cars to heaven so why not let other people have/use them or least help restore them before all the greats are gone.
Love these old auto salvage yard tours. I used to wander through them in my 20s and 30s, dreaming of the possibilities. I don't get why people invest so much time and money into acquiring these old cars, just to let them rot in the elements for decades. Humans are a strange species.
Johnathan Ward would have a field day at this place!
I agree. He would have half them running in a week or two
The scout engine is a 172-1/2 . It uses half the components from a 345 International V-8 Engine. The cylinder head will fit either side of the V-8 engine or vice-versa, pistons and rods can be swapped. the four can use a V-8 distributor cap. the valve cover will fit a eight or the eight can yield two valve covers for the 4. The concept was ahead of it's time.
Not quite. The engine in all Scout 80's of those years (61-65) was an IH 152, which was half of the IH 304 V8. IH never did field a slant 4 which was half of the 345, it did however make a 4-196 which was half of a V392. The 196 replaced the 152 as the standard engine soon after introduction of the Scout 800 in 1966, although the 152 lingered as an option for several more years.
Anybody that buys anything from there should post it ,I know Guys that have salvageable Cars that they will never get around to restoring ,But the Dream is to strong to let go ...Then the Guy dies and the Kids let stuff go cheap ...
No junkyard this, HEAVEN for motorheads.
