Years ago most of these wrecks would be considered hopeless but with all of the new and ever improving restoration techniques available today many of these cars you see here could be brought back to life.
1976, were were there, saw a small rat terrier laying by the door, I asked Jack who he belongs to, he said, he's a junkyard dog, take him if you want him. That dog became my uncle's TOP pet, had his own place at their table, little Buster was smart, he and uncle Axel died about the same time, the best present he got from us, thanks Jack for making an old guy really happy, little Buster had a great home.
Anybody realize the historical value of this place to the auto industry? Never have I seen this many cars of the early era's in one place, The condition of the metal is insane. The T's and A models, there are whole bodies w very little damage (metal wise). The amount of 30's, 36/7/8s is amazing. Here on the east coast, cars in salvage yards are rusted through in 7-10 yrs. these cars are 100 yrs old, think of that. restoration grade metal, 100 yrs old and sitting dormant for how long, many I'm sure since before the muscle car era, and before the "car craze" was even a thing. This place needs an infusion of money or people who care to help at least arrange these gems so that they can be documented and photographed. They are gone elswhere, Amazing! TY for the vid.
Incredible to think that so many cars of such age are still hanging on in there around the USA. Most UK yards were cleared years ago and now there is a scrap drive on too.
These old cars have stainless steel instead of chrome, that's why u go to a junk yard the trim still looks awesome ! My 46 Chevy coupes stainless steel ! 👍🏻
I think no one back then knew how valuable those rust buckets would be one day or they would have stored them properly. Just like my old 10 and 12 cents comics which are now worth in the thousands.
Some good projects or hot rods there for the right people. With the model A & T,s the steel was good quality hence they do not rust like others, you probably enough to build a complete model A or model T.
It'd be great if you or Paul could remember where this is. I need just a few odd parts for a late '28 DeSoto 2 door sedan and a '40 DeSoto 4 door sedan. Love seeing these great old cars, keep up the great vids! Kevin in Iowa
Breaks my heart. The guy goes to the trouble of collecting these wonderful old cars then lets the trees grow up in the middle of them and tosses bunches of them in piles. Too much to ask to set them in rows and keep the vegetation in check, I guess. Oh well. Not my lookout that so much great iron is disolving into the ground.
+Charles Sumner You know, when I first discovered Easy Jack's it was 42 years ago and every thing was in rows. I was in the Army @ Fort Riley and we'd walk through there for something to do on the week end. Rows of Crown Victoria's, row of Hard top and rag top convertibles, row of Cadillac's, another of old trucks, Hearse's. There was even a Model T on top of some building or barn out there. Just west of Junction City KS. Looks like Easy Jack's kin let it go to hell. Saw a pic of two that run it now. My guess, the dude with scraggly long hair is sadly, the proprietor now.
Almost any one of them could be fully restored into near concours condition...for $50K to $200K. And there are not many buyers in that range, so...damn it, they sit a rot away.
Yep my buddy filmed this with an old small cassette type video camera. I found out he had them and converted them to digital and then put on my channel for him.
Will the owner of this wonderful "junkyard" (it isn't junk to me!) sell entire cars, or parts, or is he one of those guys who just lets all of these parts just rot away and won't sell anything? I would love to restore many of the cars in this video, but would be happy with just one pre-1965 anything... Maybe one of those Cadillac hearses? Awesome video - thanks for posting it!
Brad Beall I went there a couple summers ago. I called in advance and made sure he was going to be there. Everything's for sale. I met a local guy and he said his prices depends how he feels that day. Don't expect much. Cause a lot of the cars are gone from this video. Where long sleeves or go in the fall. Ticks are bad out there.
Abused neglected junk, until you make a video of it, and through the magic of video pixels, the rust, stench, rotten leaves, and rat turds becomes minted solid gold to a thousand armchair dreamers.
Truer words have never been spoken, armchair hot rodders are all talk and the delusions of grandeur are funny as he'll. Ive also seen really nice complete cars COMPLETELY dissassembled that have never gotten on the road again then parts get sold off and the carcass is dumped at the pick a part. seen it countless times . I've dug thrue TONS of dirt, rat shit AND animal carcasses cleaning out old cars the worst was a 58 Cadillac hearse ....it was pretty disgusting I did get it running and driving with a 63 caddy 390 engine but WOW what a horrible mess, mumified dead cat and all ....if you can't deal with that, this hobby ain't for you. the sad part is some really nice stuff gets massively overpriced for the die hard builder that has to pay a fortune for a wreck that has to be completely rebuilt .....( but I won't stop ) tee hee😎
Too bad some auto manufacturers don't go back to building cars with these cool looks and quality. Them old model A's need some TLC and rust oleum with a small block Chevy
Every video of easy jacks shows the same big companies cars easy jacks has so much more like cars trucks made by companies that only made cars for one or two years back in the teens
This video Pt.1 and the other Pt.2 are from 9 years ago - bet you there is nothing left in this junk yard because they are being forced to scrap everything older than 10 years old. The day and age of junk car salvaging are over!
Yes, here is there website ruclips.net/user/redirect?redir_token=p1YHSpFwM61Rmbmg7pgYRX1zFiN8MTU0MzUzMjg5NEAxNTQzNDQ2NDk0&stzid=UgiTiTWd310eyHgCoAEC.8QtNnTsuPzz8QtVs6nNTih&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpages%2FEasy-Jack-Sons%2F162303500455787&event=comments
I know what you mean. I felt the same way. Unfortunately the cost to restore these cars is almost impossible. They may be Rat Rod material or maybe some parts are salvageable but most are too far gone.
Don't dwell on 4 door sedans, only one person in a million wants a sedan, film the coupes and pickups instead, don't waste your video time, just saying

Old gems.Kansas cars are notorious for having under carriage rust. My father was stationed in fort Riley, next to junction city. 1978.
When I see so many rusted 1930's abandoned cars like this out in an overgrown field for all those years they start to look "haunted".
A nice collection, would be really nice fixed up, restored.

A lot of memories turned to rust over the years, you wonder how long these cars have sat here giving up there lives
Look at the chrome wow !!!

WOW! My dream back yard. ;)
When Jack was alive he would wheel and deal. But his son thinks that the rust is gold +
Be like Jack, not his son
very cool stuff i wish i was god gifted enough to restore one of those model t it would be so neat
A good looking/running Model T is fairly inexpensive. And there is always something to tinker with. Check them out.
my local guy was like that too, can't buy anything, and they won't part w/ stuff, unless you really PAY UP!
I failed to add, we live in Minnesota so Buster got a long ride home, I knew uncle Axel wanted a small dog, Buster was THE one !!!
I dream about places like that!
oh Man ! Kansas . I cant go there anymore. State trooper not to come back. I got pulled over for Major SPEEDING 100+ mph
Makes me wish I could drag all these inside where it's nice and dry.
Great place to set up a shredder.
Some good projects or hot rods there for the right people.

you probably enough to build a complete model A or model T.
Cars wonderful. .
Hi, I wish I could see the original colors of the cars. Enjoying your video.
That was original color... the panels where so solid that it would take 100 years to get a hole rusted into it. So why paint it?
Great Rat Rod Material.
There was a 57 Chevy hardtop in back of the yard.
Get me those Bausch Lomb headlights. The pair WOW
It'd be great if you or Paul could remember where this is. I need just a few odd parts for a late '28 DeSoto 2 door sedan and a '40 DeSoto 4 door sedan. Love seeing these great old cars, keep up the great vids! Kevin in Iowa

A car restorers dream.
Almost any one of them could be fully restored into near concours condition...for $50K to $200K. And there are not many buyers in that range, so...damn it, they sit a rot away.
Clearly some people have never restored a car. Minimum is $50,000.
Funny how 10 years ago cameras seemed to use VHS quality LOL

Well said.
Runs like a champ, just needs a oil change!
You may have trouble buying stuff present owner thinks he has gold mine
Well he does only in his mind.
my local guy was like that too, can't buy anything, and they won't part w/ stuff, unless you really PAY UP!
that suicide door car is a Hudson, about a 1936.
Packard WOW. Any Peerless... all aluminum. I didn’t see one most went to the war effort
When you say you had one of those what make and model and year was it love the shape
This was my buddies video. He had a 35 Chevy Master 2 dr.
Too bad some auto manufacturers don't go back to building cars with these cool looks and quality. Them old model A's need some TLC and rust oleum with a small block Chevy
Should try to sell some of them no sense just letting them sit.
Ohhh man, crazy.
