    The first one was 73-74 if the grille was good that's $200 or more here. Square bodys are high dollar here even in that shape they are a hot ticket. Always enjoy watching Silas

    I can spend ages going round place like that!!
    If I did your job I would not be able to sell all the jags, landrovers and Massey fergusons I come across!!!
    It's good to see old trucks going on to new lives! I suppose I will have to add Bedford and Mack truks to my horder list, it's a good job I dislike most moden vehicle's or I would never be able to part with anything!!!!!

    Glad to see you sold the GM Astro. I remember the old "cracker box Jimmys", the this one looked like a later model, with more rounded body parts. Had seen it sitting in the background for a long time.

  • @michaelguinn5736
    @michaelguinn5736 3 года назад

    Morning Silas, my father worked for GM Truck & bus when that GMC Astro was new....that was a Mustang quarter panel in that Dodge bus...I still remember the "smell" of school busses....kinda weird...that guy sure was onto Pontiacs...that Javelin would be worth something to someone, you mention about giving fair deals to people, what more can anyone expect???....be safe!!! God Bless!!!!

    That was a great video with some really nice drone footage. So enjoyable to watch. I see all those old classics and think how cool they are , but how much work to fix up. I kinda just like them as they are, like a piece of art, a reminder of years gone by. Peace

    Shark gills on that body it's turned upside down. Our piece thereof is gray of white like color. Probably too late now but that was a firebird! Last time I checked a few years back they don't reproduce those shark gills. You have to cut out your old one and put it in your new quarter replacements. Because they make them for Camaro / firebird but the Camaro doesn't have a shark gills. I love the drone footage.

    • @AdventuresMadeFromScratch
      @AdventuresMadeFromScratch  3 года назад

      The problem is, I’d run out of room really fast if I kept them. We get tons of them. I do save the steering columns out of them though as those are one item that does sell very easily.

  • @Matjake
    @Matjake 3 года назад +5

    Silas, don't you love how everyone thinks you should give the stuff away for nothing? I have the same problem, I get stuff, fix it up etc and when it's time to sell it, people want it for nothing. But when the same people go to sell their stuff whoa they want top dollar! In the end they are the only ones who think they should make money. Taxes, electricity, overhead it all adds up!

      Yeah, that Beetle is a 1958-1961 from the looks of it. I didn't see enough details. That's desirable if there's enough steel left on it. It's amazing the small glass tail lights are still on it! I would snag that.

    Good job Silas. Sad there are always trolls that find fault in anything. Regardless what you do with all that vintage tin the fact is you rescued it and made attempts to recycle it other ways besides the crusher and the claw. Here in Arizona those square body SWB trucks even needing work go for a premium. My brother in law now has three. One was lowered but needed drive train work. Set him back $6500. Until next time. Have a great day.

    Shaking my head, I just don't get some people. I guess they were never taught "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"
    Anyway, I always thought the gmc that got sold looked like a grasshopper head. Or a praying mantis head, really cool looking big trucks. That one school bus at the place that was like a ford dealership looked like a bloated tick. I'm weird like that. :D
