In this video we walk you thru a private car collection hidden in the woods. I was told that there are 4000 vehicles hidden on this property. How many can we save? There is a little bit of everything in this collection from Chevy, Dodge, Ford, Japanese, and European cars. Vehicles from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. It is really incredible the amount of cars and trucks that we got to see there. I hope you like it.

Was this in Arkansas?
@@patrickwayne3701 EAAA
@@mgomez9736 Right that's the only thing I'm wondering, Where is this, & are there still vehicles available for purchase????? @sleeperdude
In 1 year time I could save probably 60% or better of those cars and trucks. There seems to be enough donors in there. Get them ready for someone else to restore maybe get some running. Just need Forklift that will drive on that ground. Chainsaw, Common tools a dumpster and Lots of cases of Wasp spray. I'd be willing to do it too. Just split the money of what gets sold. I've done this before with a junk yard that shut down in 79 So you can imagine what kinda cars were in there. There was around 3k. Took a year then too. The owner was able to make more money that way.
This place brought back a lot of memories.. I worked in auto wrecking yards. A little over 20 years ago. I loved every minute of it. The worst part was wanting to save theme all. I'll never forget coming home every day. Covered in grease from head to toe. Smelling like dead gas and gear oil. I loved those days!
Yeah I used to work in one too I loved it
Any cars you saw that be worth money now? 😂
What was that place
I was a teenager when most of those cars were new. I remember back then every supermarket and shopping mall parking lot were filled with them. Watching this really took me back to those days. Hard to believe that some of those cars are 40 or more years old now......
Yeah takes me back to being a kid too
Josh, thanks for putting in the effort to take us along I really enjoyed watching. I used to walk the junk yards for hours looking for interesting finds.
Your welcome
@@Sleeperdudeseeing Tosh looking for a truck was priceless. You are a lucky man.
Call me crazy but the old I want to say 70's van with the original heart shaped windows in the opening pics definitely caught my eye. 👊
I know right
@@Sleeperdude just got to it in the video around 7:35 mark. It's the Dodge with the bubble top as well. That thing is killer cool with the paint just the way it is to.
@Sleeperdude at the 14:47 mark, the white car that is seen has the same engine as the mustang svo and Thunderbird turbo coupe.
I love that one
Me too!!
Back when I was 7-8, and my grandpa was still around, he showed me this beautiful studebaker wagon he had had for almost 30 years at this point. He was the one who got me into cars at all when I was little, and I haven’t seen another wagon in that good of shape since! Tons of great memories sitting inside of it, talking to grandpa, and wishing I could drive it around. Thanks for showing the trip through that yard!
That’s awesome
It's the memories that make old cars so special; thanks for sharing!
That sounds like a great memory :)
If you have money, it really buys you happiness by restoring these classics! 17 me is envying right now...😅
The second best part of the trip will be checking each other for ticks!
Hey Josh thanks for taking us on your junkyard crawl ! I like station wagons too. They have more style than any suv. So many cool cars and trucks to bad you can't save them all!
I know right thank you
I Love Station Wagons Too! ❤️
@@Sleeperdude hey dude get some fox body mustangs for alot of the parts interchange with the fairmont you bought even the v8 and speeder transinterchange
I think it was already clear during your courtship, but it's so nice to share a passion with loved ones. Your wife and kids are as great as you are.
Yep I am blessed
I bet every one of us watching this video wished we could've walked through there too. I disagree, there was a lot of everything in those woods.
Yes
if those hondas were sand cast you just walked buy some big money the first four cylinders were sand cast 1969 start calling you wake up dude lol
Wished I was there. 😀
Really cool! Makes you feel like we are there with you looking at all those old girls.Happy you got the station wagon and saved her from the crasher!
Yes thank you
This was mind boggling. I have so many questions about this place, how it got started, what's happening now, etc. - I also can't imagine what it was like to see it in person. It seems like you couldn't have seen it all, and that must have been frustrating. Amazing video - much appreciated.
I think they used to have a wrecker service and then eventually just became a private collection. I have been three times and keep finding cars
I’m late commenting but I wondered the same thing. I also wondered why didn’t the owner part out or sell them sooner…if a tree grows through it it’s time to let it go haha
Also did you see the Blair Witch
I feel you for the sadness of seeing all of those throw in the trash bin. It always break my heart.
Yes it was an experience for sure
Josh you were in auto heaven with all that rusty gold you looked at, and glad you saved one, and hope you get the others too. Great video, and loved seeing you and the wife checking out the cars together. It wasn’t an easy thing to get it out of the woods, but you did well buddy. Love the family and the values you show to your wife and kids.
Thank you so much
@@stephanieworthen9114 how much they selling for?um really?dumb question,i would think the prices vary!!wtf!!
never stops amazing me how somebody hoards that stuff letting it rot into the ground, and the instant they die its all sold or scraped
Yeah
It turns my stomach.
That was a dream site for old cars its a shame many of them were not saved decades ago. I could spend a few hours looking around in there also but its gut retching to see all those old cars being crushed. Thanks Josh for taking us along with you and your Wife on this golden journey down classic car lane. All the best to you and yours, peace.
Thank you
It IS sad how easily cars were wasted in the past. For a few hundred dollar repair. It reminds us how we got to where we are today. Chip shortage, record high transaction prices, the rise of the buy here, pay here lot, & most cars OUT of production. Just a waste.😞
There were quite a few Datsun Z's out there! They go for a premium in any condition here in California. Thanks for taking the time to show us this mass of cars.
Thanks for watching
This has to be one of your best videos to date. Love the way you buy cars with a genuine passion to save them! Great your wife has a proper interest too👍👍
Thank you I appreciate it
Thanks for the tour. I could spend all day walking around there. Lots of cars that bring back lots of memories.
Yes thank you
Such an amazing discovery!
*Imagine the stories those cars would tell, if they could talk…*
Yeah it was overwhelming, thanks for watching
“Save us please”!
47:43 , that Opel Manta A, needs to be saved, that's real unicorn.
It is very cool
I agree, would be great if someone could rescue it. They are incredibly hard to find. I love my 74 Manta Rallye - rides great, handles amazingly, and it's the only one at Cars and Coffee :)
The '77-79 Thunderbird caught my attention. Love those Torino-birds
Yeah they are cool
So many awesome vehicles there. Loving the Ford Festivas, which we called the Fiesta in the UK. They are making decent money this side of the pond. Great purchase!
Ok cool thank you
Really know how to make a man feel old. Most of those cars was on the road when I was growing up. My dad used to pile the family in the old 65 Ford Galaxy Station wagon I think and drive for hours. Thanks for the memories.
Good memories
You’re right this really saddens me when they just stacked them up and crushed them I agree I wish I could save them all too.
Hey Josh appreciate you taking us along, a bit of advice for you, they have plastic wedges they're called skates I used them in the towing industry they wedge right under the tires (casings) 🙃 looks to me like you need a set.
I will check into them
The only thing is they only work on wheels that are stuck and won't roll.
Well seems that’s all we get
You can also use plastic cafeteria trays
Josh and his wife must really love restoring old cars and trucks to go to that junkyard...tick heaven. Anyway, glad you found some good Fairmonts.
This is my Graceland! I could spend hours in this place. I saw a nice early 70s Oldsmobile. I think it was a 98. I would save that one for sure. Great video, Josh. Watching from NC.
Thank you it is very neat
I'd love to see you grab that AMC Eagle wagon. What a junkyard!
Love you man
Thanks!! you never know what we may haul in we are going back
I loved watching the video it was awesome thank you sleeper dude
That's an event that 70 van 70 van with the hearts in the window that's a keeper
Yeah it was cool
that was a wonderful video Josh. I don't know where to begin, all of the old cars and trucks were wonderful to see and the family excitement being involved is priceless. and not to forget the beautiful animals and vienna sausages. ✌
Thank you I’m glad you liked it
Great video, love the car junkyard walk throughs hearing the crusher in the background made me feel like we had to hury to find the good cars before he scooped them up and they were gone. Also cracked up at the Baby hand in there again. You will have to make that a regular deal now. Your wife is a trooper walking around there and hunting for cars. Don't think mine wood have gotten out of the truck.
Thanks for sharing, hope you grab a few more out of there before it's too late.
God bless
Thanks for watching yes we are actually going back tomorrow
@@SleeperdudeJunkyard part two!
Cool! I love junk yards. All the old yards with the '20's-'50's cars have basically disappeared. Now it's '60's- '80's cars. My brother had a Ford Fairmont sedan for many years. Very reliable. Good luck with it!
I do too, you are right
This was an amazing find. I grew up in the Detroit area, so even though I don’t know too much mechanically about cars, I can I.D. quite a few. I saw one Citation and one Beretta. It’s nice to see a young guy like you appreciating station wagons. I’ve always loved them myself, my folks had a fully loaded 1974 Country Squire. My mom hated it SO much, after a few years my dad granted her wish of buying a new 77 Cougar. I wish I still had it because it was the rare 4 door Cougar Brougham. Also for 77, the HIGHLY rare Cougar wagon, a one year release that you can’t find easily today. If there was a Corvair wagon, I would hope you would have gotten that as well. Good luck with your project, I hope you can restore it in my lifetime. We’ll probably only be able to buy one more wagon ourselves. We always buy used, currently driving a 2018 VW Alltrack. It’s the finest wagon we’ve ever had. Perhaps our next one will be a Volvo.
Wow that’s a cool story, my dad had wagons and so did my grandma
Absolutely amazing!
One Can only imagine how long it takes to amass a collection like that!
Thanks for sharing the experience 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching
Some of those older cars and trucks take me back to a time when old cars and trucks were seen everywhere.
Yes for sure
Wow! That’s the largest junkyard I’ve ever seen. It’s too bad most of the cars are in such rough shape.
Gotta love Squeezy, “The worst car you’ve ever got” 😂
Josh “This was the peak of automotive design”
Tosh “yeah, the downward peak!”
Poor Josh! At least you got Ralphy on your side.
Great video and kudos on the editing! I can’t imagine how long that must have taken.
Editing was about 4 days . Thank you yes a lot of them are in bad shape but we are going back to see what else we can grab
What an amazing place. Ty for bringing us along. That wagon was a great choice. I once did one with a 289 and switched it over to standard using pedals from a mustang. All I had for a trans was a 3 sod with overdrive and the car had the stock rear. But I could see the potential in building a sweet sleeper. One day I’ll grab another
Thank you
From a full size Ford Wagon Guy - I worked with a guy who had bought a Fairmont wagon the same color as yours brand new. It was stolen but recovered in Hartford , Ct. back in 1981.
That’s cool
Hello from north tx. Great find. Love those fairmounts. Me and the wife had two baby boys in 1978 and we traded in a Vega wagon on a fairmont wagon with the 302. Was maroon color and spoke hub caps. I think we paid 4 thousand for it we loved it except it had the variable Venturi carb. Always had trouble with it. Love your family. You and your wife are raising kids like they should be. Keep those video’s coming.
Thank you
Now that’s what I call a field of dreams. I can’t wait to see the LTD Wagon running.
I found 2 more fairmonts there yesterday I am getting
@@Sleeperdude They are great platforms to build.
I cruised the Southern Maine Beaches many times in my buddies Fairmont wagon. Nostalgic morning. I dare say there's plenty of room to squeeze Godzilla in there! Thanks for sharing this with us. ✌
That’s cool, thanks for watching
At timestamp of 33:50 thats a Ford Talladega very similar to the Torino just extremely rare.. Only oneway to tell the two cars apart... A Torino, on the front fender the marker/turn indicator is directly above the front bumper on sides of the front fenders... Talladega has no indicator/marker light on side of fender directly above bumper
Ok thanks for letting me know
@@Sleeperdude Np Sleeper Brotha... I would kill to have a talladega again.... Great car
I enjoy junkyard walk through! You can feel the history coming off those classic auto’s! Thanks for the video!
Yes thanks for watching
Yes my dad and grandpa use to have trucks. Cars all over. My grandfather passed away and between family fudes and all they just went away. I use to sit on those old cars for summers on end. And they are mostly gone now. Just the smell of those interiors probably turn most off but it's years of history i love it. I'm looking for a project like this
Wish I had found your channel when you started the videos about the junkyard. There were several I would have been interested in saving too.
I've been to this junk yard when I lived in vonore TN old guy I worked with at Ryder took me he knew the people who owned it ....
That’s cool
That place is so overwhelming, and really sad, I don't understand how someone could just buy cars and leave them to rot 💔. Great episode 👍🏻
He worked on some and sold parts of some and then he was sick for a while so I’m sure he had good intentions
Man I hate comments like yours, think about the fate of these cars had he not saved and parked them!!! If your so worried why don't you buy all of them and put them in a giant climate controlled building. This guy did everyone one of these cars a favor and saved them from the crusher.
@@bigworm6200 did them a favour by parking them in the woods to slowly rot away...pfft👍🏻. Great comment.
@@stuartkarshagen6274 like I said, why don't you just save the day and buy them all.
@@bigworm6200 Your comments kinda dumb, just because this guy cant afford to buy them all doesnt mean the hoarder saved those cars, sure he saved a few that were sold last minute but all the ones that got crushed he only prolonged their death since either way they ended up crushed whether that was 40 years ago or now... id be willing to bet that he was the type of guy to say they aint for sale whenever someone wanted to buy one thus them ending up rotting to their death which is mostly always the case with these hoarders, infact there are three guys near my town just like that, hundreds and hundreds of classic cars rotting in the woods but they refuse to ever sell any, they aint saving them they are infact killing them by never selling any since like it or not the reality is they will never get around to restoring them all and when they die their family basically always ends up scrapping everything.
Dude! that dodge van with the heart window! I been looking for one of them!!!
It is really cool
Awesome junkyard video man! I was really surprised to see that there were Yugo's in the yard! They are common in my country but they are rare in the States.
Yeah not sure why he had them
@@Sleeperdude perhaps people in the area owned them and he bought them off. I hope they won't get crushed, I'm also excited for the new three wagons. Wish you luck with unlocking the pandora's box which is that blue one.
If a tree grows through the grill of a car in the woods, and no ones around to hear it....does it make a noise ? Thanks for the hike through memory woods ! I believe you showed that Dodge A 108 just for me. Thanks Josh ! God bless and congratulations on the scores! You keep making videos and I'll keep watching. Had to laugh because there's a Squeezy in our brood too, my wife and I share the same philosophy of 2 for you, two for me , and I raise my soda to toast.... Free At Last!
Thank you so much
Yes, it makes a noise, but only the mice, rats, and raccoons get to hear the metal creak and rust as the tree grows and destroys the vehicle.
It's awesome that there is that many cars. It's sad how they sat in the woods and most of them will be scrapped. I wish i could save them all.
Yeah me too
Wow! That Datsun 120y fastback was one of the cars I always wanted and never got round to. I could've literally spent days wandering around that collection.. 👍
Yes it was crazy
@@Sleeperdude man .... that's a shame....all those cars too far gone...at least they get one last bow
@@Sleeperdude Hey buddy could you find out how much they want for that Mercury cougar a cougar at 5:35.
@@Sleeperdude I'm serious man I've been looking for one for years
That is fantastic! We had a very similar situation here in NH, it was posted on a lot of the popular classic car facebook pages. I had been up prior before the owner passed, quite the collection. Was able to come home with a '59 Plymouth Savoy last tuesday from that yard. Can't wait to get started.
That’s awesome
What town in NH? I’m in Maine. Would love to check that out.
WOW!! MIND BLOWN! So sad, such a waste of some very nice cars! Glad you could rescue a few. Great video Josh!
Thank you
You walked right past the Kw in the first two minutes!!! 😂 I’m coming up there and cranking it!
That’s great !!! It was an overload of cars for sure
@@Sleeperdude Hence, the reason for Mrs.Sleeperdude.
Please get there and save that kenworth.
@@Sleeperdude I would like to know where this is and come purchase some vehicles
Save the Fairlane my dad had one when I was a kid
I love the wagon😃 thanks for saving it from the woods!
Yes me too thank you
As an old guy. Watching this I lost count of how many of these cars and trucks I have owned over the years …as it was playing .. yup there’s one I owned. And that one. … and that one …. Lol. Brought back a lot of memories….. thanks !
I love that L-Series international pickup, my first ever vehicle was a '51 International L110 my grandpa bought for $100, it sat in a pasture for at least 30 years, but fired right up with barely any work, it looked identical to that one
Wow that’s cool
Amazing all these cars were just left to rot.
I'm with you on the Fairmonts. I had a 2 door box top and loved that thing. Fast as heck with a 69 302 out of a Torino and drove great!
Yeah they are great
Incredible channel! Keep up the good work. I discovered your videos when I was searching for anyone who has done work on a 1980 Malibu. I just inherited my uncles 2 door coupe with a 350, it’s been garaged for the last 16 years. Watching you bring one back to life gave me some a lot of hope. Thanks, definitely subscribed!
That’s awesome thank you
Is the property owner allowing others to rescue cars? I would love to learn more about saving some more of these cars
Unfortunately he does not want me to share the location
I love junkyard videos!! I saw tons of bumpside ford parts in there, they're so hard to find down here in Florida.
Yeah I bet
Dentside too, always a market for that lol...
I love the way you all share from the same soda. Reminds me of my family as a child.
Yeah we are close like that
Loving this already and I'm only 10 minutes in... Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Great episode! So sad to see so much crushing going on . The Dodge truck and travel all really spoke to me
I know right he is keeping all the trucks for now
Just one word !
AMAZING !!!
Thank you
Josh, you always come through with great videos and content. You made my day. Thank you and your wonderful family so much.
Thank you for watching
I would love to walk through a car collection like that. So amazing to see all those cars! Wish you would have saved something other than all the fairmonts. But you like what you like and I can't knock you for that! Thank you for saving them at least 👍🏻👍🏻💙
Yes thank you
Wow! I hope most of those classics were saved from scrap.
Yeah the ones that were in decent shape were claimed
I saw a fastback Torino that looked interesting
Yes it is
This is awesome, thank you! What's the back story of your love for Fairmonts?
I used to work at a fox body only shop and sloppy mechanics videos
At least they are saved from the crusher my old mechanic I work with at the gas station used to say by 68 Catalina Convertible was ready for the Smasher, I drove way too many old cars to the junkyard I wish I still could have kept them all
You're lucky you got a good wife you didn't pick a lemon
Over a year late but I'm fairly new to the channel. Pretty sure the lines in the moss on the car are caused by snails or slugs. Sorry, 3.6k comments, I'm sure I'm not the first to say that.
I think so!! Thank you
We’ve got nothing like this here in England. Best we can ever hope for is a couple of rusted out cars in a barn or lockup. I could also have spent hours there. Although my mission would have been to find all the big block muscle….. Just the complete opposite of the small family friendly cars we have here.
Ok thank you
We used to back in the 1960s i remember but not now, still some hidden private wreck sites around the country, look on 28dayslater channel and others.
TheYorkMan, My high school history teacher was a pretty, petite gal in her mid 20's. Single, all us guys were smitten. Her father owned a car dealership. The car she drove to School every day. Was a 1968 Plymouth barracuda! Burgundy color. The thing was appsolutly beautiful! I sometimes would take the longer walk to school. Go through the teachers parking lot. Just to see it!
My dad had 3 Greenbrier vans, seeing that Greenbrier truck brings back memories of the 1960's for me
Ralphie and your wife need an international pickup.
I know , she was bummed because the owner was keeping the trucks
Should buy a travel all!
I really don't understand your infatuation with Fairmonts. So many cars that are cooler.
I just love them
It’s kind of the same reason he likes Vienna sausages that’s not everybody’s cup of tea either
That place is awesome! I gotta say your wife is awesome. Truck gals are the best!
She is pretty awesome thank you
Let's go Brandon
I love old junkyards. i grew up as a kid in pretty busy rural coal and glass town that was like a little city. The junk yards were everywhere. In town and out of town.
Yes
I was raised on Vienna sausage. Cut them in half on white bread with mayo. Love them. Potted meat also.
Breaks my heart to see all those cars crushed. Thanks for saving some.
You were raised like me
this is my favorite show to watch on any platform or tv! I have a special request. Please dont let any mavericks get crushed when you can stop it. We are losing al of our old Mavericks. My first car was a 1970 Maverick, Straight 6, 3 speed in the column. I would absolutely love to have it back now.
The 70's datsun hatchback. My mom had one when I was a little kid it got 50 miles to the gallon! I would love to have one for nostalgia sake. That car was my childhood.
Thanks for taking us along. I love the wagons too, especially the Datsun 510.
Thanks for watching
I caught a glimpse of what looked like a bunch of motorcycles in one area. Wouldn’t mind a few close-ups of that collection.
Ok I will try next time
That Kenworth is worth saving. I love the old cab over semis
Yes for sure .. they are keeping them for now
Man, that's a walk down memory lane. Time stamp 17:12 , The 1974 Plymouth Duster is My Favorite. I bought one for $700 when I was 15, Dad and I restored the Engine (Slant 6) and My Grandpa (who reupholstered school buses) Helped me Go through the interior. Worked out a deal with a local Painter and got it Painted Glossy Black for just the cost of Paint after a few side jobs he needed help with and if I done the Body work (With his guidance). Put Progressive Directional Rims and Uniroyal Tiger Paws on the Ground. It was a Running Dude. Miss that one.
Thank you
Each one of these cars has a story and had a life Once upon a Time.. walking to these Woods it's like walking back in time,, time traveling.. I seen some old vehicles that I remember being in when they were new brand new..
Thank you for the nostalgic trip to the woods
That’s true thank you for watching
@49:29 that Grand Prix go back and get that car out of there. That’s the best one I saw. Sweet ride fixed up.
They are cool
Did anybody else noticed Yugo 45 or 55?Man you should keep that! Even the color is still good.
Yeah it was cool
what a gold mine of cars and trucks!! I saw at least 10 that I like to have. Wow!!!!
Yeah it was overwhelming
I love fairmonts also. Have had 4 over the last 35 years. Still have 1 survivor coupe that's been in my garage for thirty years. Thanks for saving them
Thank you
I just watch this one for the second time. I love the old Ford Fairmont. Especially the two-door dark blue one and I had one of them but the slopeing tail lights.
Yes . Thank you
Very cool. Shame they are crushing them. They could provide plenty of good parts at the very least.
He is trying to only crush the less desirable ones
That's a lot, a lot of cars and trucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoah! The Fairmonts are awesome fox body platforms! Grab that V8 model!!
I agree I am trying to get 5 of them
@@Sleeperdude I would!!! Good Luck! I like the wagons too, they are like 4 door hatchbacks!
congrats finding what you wanted. most guys settle or find their dream car too late. always great to see someone find their numero uno
Yes thank you
It's a great shame most will be crushed, there are so many good parts that could be harvested. At least some are being saved so that's some good news.
Yes for sure thank you
So many IH trucks and those wreckers, I'm drooling and sad at the same time... Most of them look so solid!
Yeah there are some cars ones there
@@Sleeperdude I wish I had room to go buy a few lol
Great channel! The Falcon frame and powerline were the foundation for the Mustang, so no Falcons past 1963 and no Mustangs prior to '64. My first car was a '61 Falcon Wagon and I loved it. Wish I could find one.
