The last lining round was with dylan mccool when you went down in the delta 88 sadly you sold the delta 88 witch you should track down and
This looks like a colaboracion with Sleeperdude 88 👨🔧
Wow between those three LTDs you got one LTD.
you need to move those cars
I wish I can find a farm with nothing but abandoned classic cars. That would be a dream
for real dude
Agreed 💯
Yes that would be awesome and then eventually get them all running or majority of them running
Get Out and Start driving down EVERY Back Road that you can find. Paved or Yet Gravel.. 10/10/22 7.33 am cst USA
@@tonyfriend7413 I wish lol I live in Florida nobody has a farm with a bunch of old cars here
Greetings from Poland! I sometimes cannot believe there are places like this in the US :) Awesome to watch these old cars roar again. Keep up the good work (and fun!).
Check the 'flexiny' channel - similar content with abandoned cars in eastern Europe
It happens honestly people will get a car something will go wrong with it that they don't have the money to fix and then the car will sit in the back and rot rinse and repeat
would absolutely love to see more lightning rounds
Yes
GOD YES
Great episode! I think that location deserves an extended RV stay.
That "pink" LTD interior was mint. Especially the clock👌
I can’t imagine how much of a pain in the ass it was to do all those blurs, salud to you Kevin!
I think Mook does the editing
@@PrinceWesterburg I thought it was whoever had more free time that week 😆
@@PrinceWesterburg I do all of my editing and she does all of hers
It was hell, like 2 hours 😂
@@JunkyardDigs holy hell. what a legend!
I'm genuinely concerned at how easily the white Buick and the Pontiac started.. they clearly haven't been off the road very long, they had their keys and the Buick was REALLY buried in foliage for such a recent tag. The Pontiac's battery was still good for crying out loud. How many people have been reported missing near this farm?
Thought the same thing as you. What the hell are those two cars doing out there if they start right up and have current tags.
@@eamonjames8496 you can claim abandoned cars in some states and just tow them to yo place
@@Kim-qn2fm adding on to that, I know a few guys in the industrial part of my town that go down the highways and back roads looking for cars, writing down when they find them abandoned, and then come back a set time later; if it's still there, they take it home with a negligible amount of paperwork. Doesn't even have to be abandoned for long, some places will let you take it if they can't reach the owner in a couple of days.
Ikr, those cars didn't have any of that abandoned outdoor coating on them yet. means that they haven't been sitting for long but yeah it was really in there for what that was.
that gm 3800 really is damn near unbreakable!
Always love seeing you and Angus working together side by side on this kind of stuff, great duo. What a lot of this shows us is something many of us already know, the old dead nuts simple stuff is nearly impossible to fully kill. Injure, sure, but kill? Rarely. Kudos boyos keep it coming!
The lightning round was fun to watch. I used to do that with grandfather when I was a kid with his old trucks and equipment. I hope you save some of those and get them back on the road.
I clicked so fast!

This was fantastic! My late Grampie had a pasture full of old cars. I had many hours of fun sitting behind the wheel, pretending to be racing, or having high speed chases with the police! Like in this video, sometimes we had to get creative to access the drivers seat. My favorite was a blue 2 door Vauxhall Firenza. It was the only one I have ever seen with my bare eyes. Ah, thank you for the stroll down memory lane!
This was a fun video Revival lightning Round was an interesting idea I was surprised by the vehicles you were able to get to run. I always look forward to your videos.
That first truck was trying so hard.
That would make a stunning restore job.
It deserves a new life.
Please go back and get the cherry interior LTD! I really want to see a revival of that, I know y’all could do it!
I'm 45 now. I remember being a kid and my grandmother always having the Ford LTD. TY for taking me down memory lane. God bless
I wasn't expecting that red interior to be in such good shape.
Wow that interior is Mint Holy moly So Clean and that red is gorgeous I agree with Angus Drag that baby home with ya the radio even turns on @Junkyard Digs
Hey Kevin 🙂 The running backwards thing is nicknamed “dieselling” in the UK. On carb/points cars it’s frequently due to the timing being too advanced and/or carbon buildup which stays hot enough for a few seconds to ignite any remaining fuel. Dad’s ‘83 Crossflow Fiesta was notorious for it 🙂
It definitely wasn't dieseling, never seen it push fuel out the carb like that before 🤣
@@BariLopesh agree
yea that wasn't dieselling it would just run after the iggniton was cut because it was hot this car literally ran backwards
@@david-pt8wd Agreed, when it spat a pint of unburnt fuel out of the barrels 😆 Dieselling is when there is excess fuel and advanced spark (or still glowing-hot carbon buildup) after shutdown which ignites when a piston is approaching TDC but not quite there, forcing the piston back down the bore hence running the crank backwards. The Fiesta used to do several backwards revolutions like that; if left in gear it would shoot backwards! Been racking my brains and I just can’t figure out why the LTD was so dyspeptic 🤔😁
@@jimdieseldawg3435 I feel like we need to get to the bottom of this, someone has to purchase that car and find out whats going on there, this is way too much of a mystery to leave at rest. definitely not dieseling, or normal dieseling. But since its pushing the fuel out its probably not getting enough to continue firing, but there could be a way to do get it to spin long enough. I am extremely intrigued to why and would definitely buy it and share it with everyone, but sadly I am not in a financial or medically sound state for spending money on a vehicle, got 2 broken ones already. Someone save it before they crush it please! (maybe the alternator is energizing its self into a motor and turning the engine?)
All those running cars and I can't even get ONE affordable one. Ugh. Great video, Kevin! -Vic
Great success considering these cars were in the weeds and woods. Might find a couple that would make some good restoration projects. Thank you for sharing!
sad to hear those cars are getting scrapped i liked that explorer loved the video kevin
Crazy how I’ve been hyperfocusing on LTDs lately and suddenly there’s three of them on my favorite channel
check out sleeperdude on youtube. lots of weird fox body stuff
Horn might be the turn signal push it in
@@aaronplacke Yeah, he’s cool. i dig the 70s stuff more though
i wish they were easier to find, you'd think they would be more common than the lincoln continentals but no.
Kevin thank you for these videos, they have given us some moments to laugh and even though I'm having to translate most of what you're saying my regiment watches them with enthusiasm. We are in Ukraine and just liberated the Kharkiv region and moving to Luhansk and Donetsk now. We have a lot of broken down Russian tanks, BMP's, and APC's so perhaps you guys can fly here and help us get them running again :) We really appreciate your videos, thank you and God bless.
The helicopter mechanic should pin this comment FTW!
If I recall correctly, timing that's really off can cause that "backward running" thing. I've seen it happen when a distributor is going bad and twists itself.
I like that green truck. Would be a nice forever project. Not really expected to be finished in anyone's lifetime, just to tinker on it, show it some love from time to time.
Notification Squad. I got my dinner and I'm gonna watch this new Junkyard Digs episode. You should buy that one LTD. That interior was gorgeous
WOW! I never knew that if you tapped your screwdriver on the carburetor of a 351 Windsor that it would turn into a pair of pliers. COOL!
Welcome to another episode of Farmyard digs 😆. Love you Kevin and mook!
I'm two thirds of the way in on this 'Lightening Round' not sitting in constant watch mode with other pleasures occupying my day, but this is pure entertainment, thanks guys for the upload of your foliage and bramble ramble through the cylinders and pistons active or dead video!
I can't believe how clean and nice that red Ltd was!
Fun vid! Contact Sleeperdude about the Fords! He loves those things... The '54 looks like a 235. Hard to tell from the outside if it's a 261 but probably not. Technically not a stovebolt. Those were '37 - '53 (216 CID) splash oilers. The 235 is a good engine. Lots of torque. Very forgiving. Run forever...
Has anyone else noticed how their opposite personalities totally work together? This is comedy gold right here folks.
I enjoyed it. Keep them coming
Would love to see that "pink" LTD with the cherry interior be revived. Could be a nice car
Did not think that truck was going to start, burst in to life, Kevin looked shocked. Great video. Thanks
The RER (Rotax Electronic Reverse) on my Ski Doo changes the direction of the engine. You press the button and the engine stops and restarts going backwards (I think it was developed at Hogwarts). Theoretically You could go as fast in reverse as forward.
That's a feature on two-stroke-engines!
I have a 98 Ford Windstar..... Kevin please make a video for that kind of vans, a revival, fix one.... Or anything! It should be great
They are very practical, spacious, noble and versatile van trucks
This is awesome! Thanks for the entertainment guys!
You are very welcome!
The color you get in your final cut is pretty amazing. Very nice editing & capture.
It makes me feel bad seeing cars just abandoned like this when they could either still be on the road or have been parted out to keep another or the same kind or three still running. Glad to see anybody bringing these things back to life. I just wish the owners would have kept them going. Alternately give or sell to someone who would.
Yeah especially the buick century, that engine bay is clean. Those cars are very reliable and that thing started right up. The grand am's looking a bit rusty may be real bad, but that buick century i'd drive it right out on the road and get on my day. I looked up the plate and it's a 2002, just a 20 year old car.
Hope you are having a great day i have been watching for 3 uears
Hey Kevin, earlier today I was given the honor of starting a vintage Ford tractor, and next Thursday I'm gonna get to drive it! The only part I'm nervous about though, is that it'll be my first time driving stick, and not only does it (Presumably) have a non-functional right brake, but 2nd gear is kinda hard to find, and it has a really strange shift pattern.
R 4 1
THAT'S THE SHIFT PATTERN!
2 3
You don’t shift through the gears on a tractor like you would on a car. You put it in whatever gear is appropriate for what you’re doing, and go.
@@HomerJ1964 Oh, that's nice to hear.
4th gear is the most fun!
Watch that clutch drop though! 🤣
@@onedayiwillmakesomecontent Wdym Clutch drop?
Caught it at 2 mins. Absolutely gonna make a long day better
would be amazing to save that '54 and use it in future revivals as a back up vs a trailer
It's a 216, may not make many hps... But they run super smooth.
@@svpracer98 They stopped using the 216 after 53. It would be a 235, or a 261.
5:56 those pontiacs are f****** amazing
cant remember how i found this channel but some of my first videos that I watched was Kevin, his brother, and Angus doing the revivals on that other property (all i can remember is that blue truck and that big square body) and fell in love with the videos ... always wondered what happened to the other vehicles on that property ... i remember seeing a few things, in that barn (i think it was a barn.. the one the square body was in) , that i was "I hope they get a chance to go back to that and revive"
it was the one where the guy added a ton of accessories to every single car or truck
I especially loved how Angus asked for a 7/8" wrench and Kevin just reaches into a pile of garbage and pulls one out.
Unfortunately a lot of people started bothering the family and showing up at their house, so we were not allowed back
@@JunkyardDigs Wow. Some people's children... Too bad they ruined it for you, that place was a content goldmine.
@@JunkyardDigs That's too bad. Sucks that goofballs have to ruin things.
@@JunkyardDigs That sucks that you all got punished because of a bunch of yahoos who can't leave well enough alone, hopefully they come around cause I doubt they'll get anyone but sticky fingered tire kickers
I’ve never been this early nor this excited for a lightning round
I would love to have a big piece of rural property like that just so I could hoard all my old cars in the woods 😳 not even kidding, I'd never get rid of anything 🤣
Cool that ya got the Cheby running for a few seconds that was loud when it finally fired @Junkyard Digs
Love the content keep it up!
I love it when you guys do videos together it works well. Great video stay safe and take care. Tony
I personally would love to see a full revival on that pink ltd
Wow that red Lumina van was cool and looked werid in front end , had to be the last year for that style. and that ford explorer with v8 was not what I was expecting at all to run and sound like that s*** sounded awesome and so mean . Now I want one thanks alot 😭😂
Is there any chance of making another video where you and your friends race to revive a vehicle and drive it?
Like that 😅or can a couple years ago
6 of them van's around the corn field would be great, even a couple of the other's, all the best to yous and your loved ones
could it be back compression from a clogged tailpipe causing it to run backwards?
No, because the ignition was still firing correctly in reverse. Had to be something with the timing
That red interior though 😱 clean af
Why does the Pontiac Grand Am still have a good battery 😂 I’m so confused lmaoo
That Buick Century coming to life knocked the wind outta me for some reason 😂💀 hilarious
so like, get them out of the woods.
Unbelievable how many of these gems started. Good vid.
Fun fact: LTD doesn't actually stand for anything.. someone at Ford just came up with LTD as a placeholder name and they never replaced it. The funny part is LTD typically stands for limited but those cars were never limited on options, they were LOADED with every thing Ford offered, a few 69 Galaxie LTD's actually even left the factory with Boss 429's though no one knows why or what happened to them.
The owner of this farm calls them Lakes Trees and Ditches.
That's great 411 Jay Aye to get your perspective on the LTD moniker. My parents had a '73 with the 2 door, 4 barrel 429 and beautiful interior (non-leather) seats that just made the ride cush supreme. I believe we had crank windows the color was a light 'Cannon' Quin Martin, green with a pin stripe even. Putting your foot down on that accelerator and opening the two extra barrels was exhilerating to say the least!
Limited means limited edition. Which means they're top of the line and loaded with everything. Like every other limited edition from a car manufacturer.
@@JT-tz5hp correct. Limited with Ford's used to be top o the line
Mostly GM cars that started. That 351 W almost went though... The duraspark was a decent system. GM HEI was really awesome!
The first car I bought when I got home from the USAF was a 77 Mercury Zephyr z7. 200 straight 6. Rack and pinion steering and ran like a top even with 150K on the clock.
"So thats the line for ya huh?" Angus ending it with a laugh. Great video as always!
Can confirm, minivans make great back field bashers, comfy enough your spine doesn't hate you as much after you've jumped them, and you can keep the one that survives to store or haul firewood! Win win!
😂😂😂
@@JunkyardDigs I ask you, what is a broken van, but a shed? What is a broken escalator, but stairs? And uh, what's Mook doing with that knife behind you?
Thanks for sharing another awesome lightning round video, I have no idea what was going on with that backwards running LTD, that's a new one on me. Keep up the great work guys 👍✌️🇺🇲
I wonder how many ticks you got going through the woods like this!
None, not too many up here. That or I stink just right
@@JunkyardDigs hmm crazy that is why I stopped deer and elk hunting. Well the camping in October in the Rockies wasn’t fun either when it’s freezing and you have to wake up at 4am to climb a 11k foot mountain!
I like a 2005 Ford explore like the one that you’re driving
Go look him up sleepydude
That Ford Exploder Sounds good WITH no Exhaust @Junkyard Digs
America First 🇺🇸
I think you guys should purchase a couple of them Ltds and Merge the cars and make them one Good Old ride that red one Looks very saveable @Junkyard Digs
I clicked too slow 😑
Excellent video Junkyard Digs Kevin :) also Angus :) you guys have fun time and got few future in mind for vechiles to get running ! Also blue Mercury be Zephyr to if want know called to and cool vechiles!
First
"Turning over at the speed of smell" is a great line, brilliant video.
I miss the lightning round videos! Thanks for this one!
Wow, that Grand Am must have been the second-last one to be parked out there! XD Gel-cell battery maybe?
Some of these cars need to be struck by lightning for them to have any chance at turning over! XD
Yup, seat-pads were once made out of coir, AKA coconut fiber, also called horse-hair for their appearance.
That's what many an old VW Beetle hat for seat-cushions over the springs!
Unfortunately, crumbly old dry fibers, sagging springs, and new owners not putting terminal caps on the battery (under the rear seat) caused a fair amount of fires!
Not as bad as those caused by fuel-filter/line failure in the hot engine compartment, especially since the rear seat-bottom could be ripped out and tossed aside to burn if people on the scene were quick enough.
13:51 that is amazing that that car interior is that clean
Never seen so much posion oak in my life 🤣
18:10. It could of been a very flamboyant man as well !! 🤣😆
I MISSED THE LIGHTNING ROUNDS!! THE ORIGINAL LIGHTNING ROUND INSPIRED ME TO GET MY GREAT-GRANDPA'S 1975 F-100 RUNNING AND DRIVING!
That first truck, the seats are made of coconut fibre. Loved the episode
That '54 Chevy does a great Kathryn Hepburn impression. I want to watch On Golden Pond now.
Another good one. Re "stove bolt", while a 54 does have a few stove bolts, the older real "stove bolts" have a lot more of them and the rocker arm cover has two bolts sticking out the top of it. 53 straight stick and older are "stove bolts", I think.
The Mercury Zephyr is the Mercury version of the Ford Fairmont. Yours is a post-facelift, 1981-'83. Pre-facelifts were 1978-1980, and all 1977 Fairmonts were police cars, but good luck finding any.
Haven’t seen these in awhile awesome job 👀 👍
That explorer looked and sounded mint! Why was it being scrapped?
Bless that Grand Am 😂, that one LTDs interior is mint
16:26 that is one of the beat ideas for a video ever!
When Kevin said STINKS you can almost smell and taste it.
Hello from Siesta Key Florida 🔑
Damn that explorer sounded badass!!😮🤘🇺🇸
I like it when you and Mook do this need more you and Mook
That old Ford LTD is like the Streets of San Francisco TV show car that Michael Douglas and the other guy drove. LOL back in the day it had some balls!
Think the White Grand Am would be a nice save for when you do another Grand Prix Grand Prix. Love the lightning round stuff always a blast to watch!
I apsolutly love that cherry red interior!
I love u guys keep it up Kevin and angus keep doing lightning rounds and other cars
Super fun lightning round guys you should return some time to make carburated ones fire up!
It would be cool if JYD actually came back to the tow truck revived it, and kept it for use. Those old manual tow trucks are hard to find and when fixed are absolutely immortal. Make em even better when you install a proper wheel lift on em.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
