      Yes , I have had most guys treat me well in their willingness to sell. I have only had a few telling me not for sale at any price. Thanks for watching my video. Rob

    WOW 😲, this was a great treasure hunt. I loved every moment of it. It was like stepping into the past. As you video the cars, I was imagining who drove them. This was a great find. We were at a gas pump sale, and a gentleman had taken old front light grills from old model cars and converted into lighted wall art. The two big round lights lit up. It was super cool and he was selling them like crazy. They were from authentic old model cars. He would love this place. Thanks for sharing. Yeah!!

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      I am glad you enjoyed my video. Thank you . I think what you mentioned about a front grill with headlights lit up hung on a wall sounds neat. What a great idea!

    That place was a goldmine. How awesome to see you find the Standard sign hidden in the weeds. I hope you go back. There might be anything hidden there.

      Thanks Peter! I might go back next year with spray stripper and check. I ran out of time and energy with many more miles to drive . Rob

    I collect old signs but there is no places like that where I live anymore I would love to have been there with you I could do that for days brother

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      Hello Michael, Thanks for watching my video and for your comment. Same goes for me. In California places like this do not exist anymore. I also like collecting signs but these days they have become too expensive. This was like a breath of fresh air being able to find original stuff first hand at a affordable price. Rob

  • @Tallguyinca
    @Tallguyinca 2 года назад +1

    Awesome! I love to hunt collectibles from scrapyards or junkyards. What part of California was you in that scrapyards? I’m from Southern California. Great finds you got! The best one is Standard Service porcelain sign!!

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад +1

      I wish Southern California had such places. This was somewhere in central Nebraska.

    Talk about some buried treasures. Tom Cotter from Hagerty would have a field day with all of those old cars.

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      Thanks! Yes he probably would! Thanks for watching my video. Rob

  • @dannylaverton3213
    @dannylaverton3213 2 года назад +1

    I’d be supprised if that porcelain sign with the paint over it wasn’t a Mobil gas sign like the cut up one you found 👍

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      Next year if it is still there I will dig it out and bring some spray paint stripper and find out.

  • @rongreen8485
    @rongreen8485 2 года назад +1

    I'm surprised that there is any metal laying around after the price of scrap was $400 a ton. Good eyes Rob.

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      Yes I was also surprised to find this much scrap and also treasure!

  • @MrAmartin8

    Ya missed the really rare one next to the 58 ford . That would be the 58 chevy delray ...

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      Thank you for pointing this out! Yes I did miss that one!!!

  • @puffm696
    @puffm696 2 года назад +1

    Do scrap yards allow you to walk in and look around like this? Do you pay at the front to get in or?

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      I am glad you asked this question. No Most yards like this are closed to the public because of liability and insurance issues. It took me a while to get permission to enter these places .

  • @darkrose4704
    @darkrose4704 2 года назад +1

    Can you find me a tailgate for a 46-56 ford pickup truck it don’t have to be in fantastic shape and I’ll pay for shipping of course

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад +1

      I will keep my eyes for one. Thanks for asking.

  • @TheCrackerBox
    @TheCrackerBox 2 года назад +1

    Are you interested in selling any of the signs

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      My plan is to keep them to decorate with . Thanks for asking. Rob

  • @randybyars3179
    @randybyars3179 2 года назад

    you should have picked up the case eagle emblem worth more than all them signs wtf

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      I will ask about buying it next time. I am not an expert in all aspects of antique collecting . I am learning everyday.

  • @jagvette1
    @jagvette1 2 года назад +1

    if the owner was smart he sell each car $100 then at least they might live on and not just rot away.

    • @gaspumprob
      @gaspumprob  2 года назад

      Thanks for watching my video. He told me he has a plan and that he saved these from being scraped.
