The problem here is, The '69 Camaro shown first to me is worth $5K. Others may give $10K. Your wanting to retire and will hold out for $50K. I'll spend $50K restoring it and that's doing most of the work and have a car worth 30 to 50 K. $100K to $150K if I have a restoration shop do the complete job after which it will sell for $50 to $ 100K. After going down this road I've learned it's quicker, less headache and much cheaper to buy one done and running. But good luck.
Amazing to see them all together in spot. The sheet metal under the cars certainly helped them from sinking in the ground. A lot of great candidates for restoration.
Better to watch them rust into thevground and have some cool shit to look at instead of grass ,than be turned into a fucking Toyota once they're scrapped🍻
this is why these cars are untouchable. people like this just hoard them. and then they want 10 grand for a rusted out shell. do everybody a favor just keep them
It is a complete shame to see all these muscle cars rotting away .. n the owner saying he will do something with them but never will.. especially a ss Camaro I mean who does that??
I wish these people would sell the cars to people that would actually restore them...I bought 2 cars like this, got em both roadworthy and I will pass them on to my son...a 68 Lemans H/O, and a 55 Chevy 2 door post.
Super cool that he allows you to go through his collection. Even cooler that he remembers the history or what he's done to them, and where the parts have gone off to. Thanks for showing us this. And let us know if he ever wants to sell anything. I'm a fan of the 40/50s cars and would love to restore one.
Best Camaro hoard ever was Merle Dupreys in SoCal. Worked for him in his Canoga Park shop in the 80s restoring those. Bought a dark blue S10 extra cab just like that one new. Once the trans and crappy heater core were replaced it turned out to be a great truck Plenty of torque looked and rode great. Good pool route truck.
This man needs to sell all of these cars to people who are car enthusiasts .This way its just a graveyard for a man who has subsequently let these beautiful machines rot.
Mostly trash and junk. Rear quarters rusted up to the deck lid. You could buy a car all put together already for a lot cheaper than it would cost to put any of these together.
That Buick gs is a 1971 stage 1 but the only way you can prove that it is a true stage 1 is by looking at the original engine, transmission or find the build sheet. Sloan museum does not have the docs. Very nice collection of cars. He should help save them and sell them to good homes.
Sadly I have seen several such stories and in many cases the owners won't sell. Over the years I have seen solid cars just rust to practically nothing.☹️
And when they die, many of them get crushed by family members who only want to clear out the lot without the headaches of selling individual cars, regardless of their value or rarity!
So he saved them from the crusher so the elements can destroy them!? Everything I seen mostly looked too far gone to save or not desirable enough to pursue for a serious build. So sad that hoarders like this see piles of shit as pots of gold! Not willing to sell for a reasonable offer to the guys that see a diamond in the rough that would bring them back on the road. No way would I trailer that orange Camaro home for less than a grand. 10 grand for a car that gone, I’d just get a loan for a finished car for 50k and still be ahead after the time and parts cost to restore that one.
@@AutoArchaeology IF he sells them for what they are and not the “what they could be price” then sure. But I’ve been to swap meets and see cars rotted badly and asking 5 to 10k! To the average restorer on a middle class budget, that’s just not feasible or smart to go that route and budget so many hard to get and hard to find expensive parts. I redid my Chevelle little at a time over the years and I had a nice solid driver to start with. No way would I even try to come close to clone mine from scratch today! It’d be a 6 figure car if I had to start with a rotted all metal replacement needed 10 grand starter car.
@@SuperKONR I’m on that exact page as you my friend! Maybe this guy is reasonably priced. But from the look of how long that stuff had been sitting, I’d say not! I could only imagine how many people drove buy and stopped and asked how much for the 1st gens? Lol
Most of those cars are rust buckets and complete piles. A few very savable camaros and tons of parts I guess. He had better get busy selling while there is something left before the elements completely take over.
Ive got a 72 Skylark and that GS didnt have rubber on the bumpers so either they were replaced or its a 70-71. Any 70-72 GS Stage 1 is worth fixing up even in that shape. So many Camaros I think his column shift car is very cool and the 6 cylinder those are rare indeed and blue is a winner
Ahhh yes. "Long term projects".🤣👍 I don't know how much traveling you do, but,.....I live in Knoxville Tennessee. There is a honey hole out in an area near Maryville TN which is about 45 mins from me and where I grew up out in the country. It's in an area called Wildwood. There is a man out there that has a collection similar to this only it's way bigger. More diverse, and the quality is quite a bit better. Reason being,.....is he had put all the rare stuff under pole barns. The man's name is John Landry. His father "Jim Landry" and my father used to trade all the time on old cars, parts, and motors and such. He has Hemi Cuda's, GTX's, Chargers, Challengers, Camaro SS and RS's. Chevelle SS's, and more Buick Grand Nationals than I've ever seen. He absolutely loves those cars. Now,....I'm not sure if he still has them or not,....but he did have 3 COPO Camaros with all original motors and transmissions. One white one and 2 orange ones. The white one was bought locally and the 2 orange ones were California cars. These cars had very minor rust and zero panel damage. Now that was in 2001 when Tom was still alive. I couldn't say for sure now if those are there. John is a fairly private person, and no longer operates as a parts yard and isn't nearly as accommodating as Tom his dad was.lol But,.....I have heard that he has sold a few cars to certain people my father knows in the last few years. One of which was a real deal factory yellow, black interior SuperBird with matching #'s Hemi and 4spd. I was told it went for 6 figures. It's not impossible to find him if your determined. Whether he will oblige you or not??? Well,....that would probably depend on the mood he is in,....and how money you show him. He is around 70+ years old but sharp as a tack and definitely KNOWS HIS SH_T. If you think your intrested in giving it a shot,.....I can get you started. It's worth your time I assure you. What you just showed in this video??? LOL,...Ole John's collection swallows it 10 times. No kidding. The old sign used to say "Landry's Automotive. 40 acres of Parts and Cars". You do the math.
"He saved them all from horrible fates"....how so? I'm sure every hoarder that sits them there to rot yearly from every snow and rain thinks this as well...lmao
That Challenger looks good for all the miles you have racked up. Looks like a 2010 RT classic spring special in B5 . I specd one at the dealer 12 + years ago.
I was told by my buddies wife that when he dies I have to sell all his cars for her. Over the past 30+ years I have sourced cars for him. The day this happens everyone mind is going to be blown !!! He has 5 warehouses full of muscle cars from 1965- 1972. You name it, he has 5 of them ! All restored to factory specs. I tried to get him to let me video tape them but he doesn't want anyone to know these cars exist, let alone where they are at. Superbirds Roadrunners Hemi Cudas Hemi Challengers Hemi RoadRunners Hemi Satellites Demons Chargers Hemi Daytonas 454 Chevelle 427 Corvettes 396 Camaros & Chevelles 409 Impalas The list goes on & on ! One day you will all know about these cars when they go to auction & its a special auction just with his massive collection. ✌❤
Yard art would take few hundred bucks just to get them running and yard driving, As far as structural integrity and safety of the frames on each one oooooh. It is quite a collection .
It keeps some moisture from rusting out the cars from underneath. But when they sit out in the elements for years, it won't make much difference. If this guy isn't selling anything, cars, parts, whatever, what he is doing is actually cruel, and sick......
It’s an incredible collection …. A collection of small part and a lot of rust that would take as many years to replace as it has taken to occur. Most of them are now ready for the crusher But carry on starry eyed dreamers.
Laugh at the guys who buy them out of nostalgia only to get them home and realize its beyond dealing with So many cars that were running and driving were given to junkyards back in the day. Id never fool let alone pay $ for lots of these Just junk thats all.
I'll also say around 35 years ago, when we were on a family vacation, we drove down US 25 thru a small town, I think near, or at, Edgefield, S.C.. I can't be sure of the location, it's been 35 years. We drove by a huge salvage yard full of 1930s, 1940s, and maybe 1950s cars. Close to the highway, it was clear these cars were never going to be sold. There were huge trees growing up thru the frame rails, etc. Told my father-in-law, who lived about 50 miles from the yard, about it, and he said he'd seen it also, and heard the guy wouldn't even sell parts!! Sad......
Find out what he would really let go of for real. And what kind of price? I rebuild first gen Camaros and would buy any with vin and title within reason. Ran into similar find that guy wanted to let go. Turned out everything was the price of weight in gold. I mean who can give 10k for vin and title. That’s might be for the rich man. Thank you! I enjoy videos you produce
That chevelle is sweet. Wish someone would save it. I think if that cant be restored as a working running car, it would look cool made into a pool table. Counts Customs did a project like that. At least it would live on.
That GS IS A 72, not a 70, the horsepower on a 1970- 455 was 360 hp with 500 ft pound of torque. The 1972 was around 230 h.p and I’m not sure of the torque.
Most people don't realise you're best to spend more buy a solid car than one rusted out . You can soon spend more money doing a resto then buying one already done. You can't save them all.
You know there's a very fine Monte Carlo if your friend there is interested. He has the parts to fix this very fine Monte Carlo. You remember the tornado that took out that town almost completely a good section of it South Kansas a dozen years ago? This man had buildings of cars a good portion of which were destroyed by this tornado. He has a few of them he already redone. In short farther time is catching up with him like he slowly catches up with all of us. Here's reasonable on this Monte Carlo. It wasn't a tree something got thrown on it and it took out the windshield and damage to roof around the windshield. It did not crumple the pillars and best my memory there straight. It looked like somebody set their backside on it and pushed it in. It also tore up the hood. But the interior is great card been mildly redone because it was a great survivor to begin with. I'm Monte Carlo 1970 or so is on my bucket list but it's pretty much at the bottom. But for somebody who is more inclined maybe this fella or somebody else. Isn't that what it's all about saving these little pieces of History. One side mark. I almost bought a car but I didn't have time to go get it during their schedule and it was on auction. It had been improved by the tornado. Not this Monte Carlo I don't even know what it was they weren't sure what it was. I just remember there's nothing special even if it was in perfect shape just wasn't that old. But it's set in the top of about a 40-ft plus tree all twisted and mangled up and a few years of growth had intertwine the tree canopy some what with the car. It was kind of a poster child for this community. Drawn a blank on the name of the town. In any case they use a crane and a crew of men to get the car out of tree I don't think that car sold for $150. But it was promised and they followed through and set the car on the trailer the guy who bought it. I was going to buy and transport it several hours because it is a fabulous piece of History. I wouldn't have done anything else with it except for put it in the barn or maybe outside the barn. Anyway that Monte Carlo this man has would benefit from the parks your guy has. Just FYI. I'm more interested in the Shell of the 56 Chevy that was a premium car before it got a little kinked on the roof. This man sold all the parts off this 56 Chevy highboy. Just a shell complete front clip is what remains and that's all I'm interested in. Anything else man has is more money than I care to spend. Monte Carlo I think it's 2,500 to a good home which is cheap enough. But don't say you're going to part it out that's not the Fate he wants far it. Enjoy your videos of these vehicles you show. You are a true car hobbyist. Obviously a Mopar guy but you show other makes and in quantity. As far as inline sixes and Camaros yeah most of them were taken out but back in my day there were a lot of them because they were an economy car and got good gas mileage. I remember people screaming about it when hit 75 cents a gallon. Then a dollar a gallon. Then Al Gore running for president in Paris platform was that we should be spending $5 a gallon for it. I guess he got his wish but he didn't get the presidency. Look forward to it next videos and I do have a keen interest in the Firebirds. I have one with the inline 6 but it has the overhead cam and is just two straight and original for me to think about a 400 or something along that line. Okay thank you for taking the time to make the videos
Guys like this really grind my gears. What person I’m their RIGHT MIND would just let these cars sit and rot? Sell em, rebuild em..something.
He does, the new building in back is full of cars he has restored or is working on.
@@AutoArchaeology I stand corrected
Guys like this buy and hoard them so others can’t restore and enjoy them. It drives the value up for the collectors who actually maintain their cars.
Pretty cool idea about using the old barn metal.
The problem here is, The '69 Camaro shown first to me is worth $5K. Others may give $10K. Your wanting to retire and will hold out for $50K. I'll spend $50K restoring it and that's doing most of the work and have a car worth 30 to 50 K. $100K to $150K if I have a restoration shop do the complete job after which it will sell for $50 to $ 100K. After going down this road I've learned it's quicker, less headache and much cheaper to buy one done and running. But good luck.
But where is the fun in that.
Sell them-- so they can get restored
Amazing to see them all together in spot. The sheet metal under the cars certainly helped them from sinking in the ground. A lot of great candidates for restoration.
“I bought it several years ago” so that I can put it in a field and watch it rust to the ground
Yeah. But he did,,their his !! He can piss on them ,,,,if he wants!! He owns them ✌
@@jamesdamron2065 ya cause that makes sense.
He should he in touch with those guys that would take all the good stuff and rebuild ONE ......at least it wouldn't all waste away
LoL! RIGHT!🤣
Better to watch them rust into thevground and have some cool shit to look at instead of grass ,than be turned into a fucking Toyota once they're scrapped🍻
this is why these cars are untouchable. people like this just hoard them. and then they want 10 grand for a rusted out shell. do everybody a favor just keep them
Really makes you wonder like what is up with that thought process 🤯🤯🤯🤯 buy a cool car and just let it sit
“Collection of muscle cars “ that will never be driven again.
Nah, something will happen with them
It is a complete shame to see all these muscle cars rotting away .. n the owner saying he will do something with them but never will.. especially a ss Camaro I mean who does that??
How could anyone with a brain let a 1969 Camaro sit out and ruin? Sell it if you’re not going to fix it. I’ve met several dingbats like this.
so why buy these if youre just going to let them rot, what a waste
I wish these people would sell the cars to people that would actually restore them...I bought 2 cars like this, got em both roadworthy and I will pass them on to my son...a 68 Lemans H/O, and a 55 Chevy 2 door post.
Rust never sleeps
There is enough tin laying on the ground to build a roof big enough to protect the most desireable of these cars
Super cool that he allows you to go through his collection.
Even cooler that he remembers the history or what he's done to them, and where the parts have gone off to.
Thanks for showing us this.
And let us know if he ever wants to sell anything. I'm a fan of the 40/50s cars and would love to restore one.
At this time the only vehicles for sale are the 53 Buick and 71 Buick GS Stage 1 shell.
All those Camaros...... Holy crap, what a shame.
Would like to see more of the interior of that bench seat/column shift Camaro.
This guy will have to die for any of these cars to sell.... it's a crime what he is doing to these cars.
THey will be too rotten out to bother with I bet. What a frigging waste.
A grand or so at the most. I agree he needs to sell them while he can.
That’s a good idea to put the tin down and then the cars on top
Keeps the weeds out of them 👍👍
Indeed
Best Camaro hoard ever was Merle Dupreys in SoCal. Worked for him in his Canoga Park shop in the 80s restoring those.

Someday he probably will.
this collection is so badass. Following from New Orleans

@@AutoArchaeology No, they are actually that bad. Here in the southwest we crush cars as far gone as these.

Hello I'm wondering where is this place located
This is the type of person who has so much stuff . Just rotting away. But wouldn't give anything away . Like let it live dude
We haven't even looked in his shop at all his projects he is working on.
@@AutoArchaeology unbelievable. People keep taking on things. And never finish
I see some nice projects in there
Are Any of Those Cars At That Yard for Sale.....I Want One....
The 53 Buick and 71 GS Stage 1 are for sale.
Any Pontiac GTO’s?
Not here.
@@AutoArchaeology I think I saw a 65 2 door on your second video. Will this fella part with any gems?
That chevelle is sweet. Wish someone would save it. I think if that cant be restored as a working running car, it would look cool made into a pool table. Counts Customs did a project like that. At least it would live on.
That GS IS A 72, not a 70, the horsepower on a 1970- 455 was 360 hp with 500 ft pound of torque. The 1972 was around 230 h.p and I’m not sure of the torque.
It's a 71.
That’s sickening to see all those nice cars just sitting there resting down !! hoarding them up not letting them be restored !!
What a shame nothing but junk now. You could poke holes in those things with lil pressure of the finger. These cars deserved better.
Most people don't realise you're best to spend more buy a solid car than one rusted out . You can soon spend more money doing a resto then buying one already done. You can't save them all.
Thankfully they aren't that bad, some are crusty. Most are good project vehicles.
You know there's a very fine Monte Carlo if your friend there is interested. He has the parts to fix this very fine Monte Carlo. You remember the tornado that took out that town almost completely a good section of it South Kansas a dozen years ago? This man had buildings of cars a good portion of which were destroyed by this tornado. He has a few of them he already redone. In short farther time is catching up with him like he slowly catches up with all of us. Here's reasonable on this Monte Carlo. It wasn't a tree something got thrown on it and it took out the windshield and damage to roof around the windshield. It did not crumple the pillars and best my memory there straight. It looked like somebody set their backside on it and pushed it in. It also tore up the hood. But the interior is great card been mildly redone because it was a great survivor to begin with. I'm Monte Carlo 1970 or so is on my bucket list but it's pretty much at the bottom. But for somebody who is more inclined maybe this fella or somebody else. Isn't that what it's all about saving these little pieces of History. One side mark. I almost bought a car but I didn't have time to go get it during their schedule and it was on auction. It had been improved by the tornado. Not this Monte Carlo I don't even know what it was they weren't sure what it was. I just remember there's nothing special even if it was in perfect shape just wasn't that old. But it's set in the top of about a 40-ft plus tree all twisted and mangled up and a few years of growth had intertwine the tree canopy some what with the car. It was kind of a poster child for this community. Drawn a blank on the name of the town. In any case they use a crane and a crew of men to get the car out of tree I don't think that car sold for $150. But it was promised and they followed through and set the car on the trailer the guy who bought it. I was going to buy and transport it several hours because it is a fabulous piece of History. I wouldn't have done anything else with it except for put it in the barn or maybe outside the barn. Anyway that Monte Carlo this man has would benefit from the parks your guy has. Just FYI. I'm more interested in the Shell of the 56 Chevy that was a premium car before it got a little kinked on the roof. This man sold all the parts off this 56 Chevy highboy. Just a shell complete front clip is what remains and that's all I'm interested in. Anything else man has is more money than I care to spend. Monte Carlo I think it's 2,500 to a good home which is cheap enough. But don't say you're going to part it out that's not the Fate he wants far it. Enjoy your videos of these vehicles you show. You are a true car hobbyist. Obviously a Mopar guy but you show other makes and in quantity. As far as inline sixes and Camaros yeah most of them were taken out but back in my day there were a lot of them because they were an economy car and got good gas mileage. I remember people screaming about it when hit 75 cents a gallon. Then a dollar a gallon. Then Al Gore running for president in Paris platform was that we should be spending $5 a gallon for it. I guess he got his wish but he didn't get the presidency. Look forward to it next videos and I do have a keen interest in the Firebirds. I have one with the inline 6 but it has the overhead cam and is just two straight and original for me to think about a 400 or something along that line. Okay thank you for taking the time to make the videos
