The good junkyards for old iron are definitely fading into oblivion, I used to love roaming the yards looking for parts even if I didn't find anything it was a fun day.

Two months ago you did a story on a 1963 Chevrolet Impala that I was able to relate too. The black 1966 396 SS you found looks like my old car. It was black everything with red sidewall Tiger-paws.Cleaning out my old car papers, I found the receipt for the 8 track player I installed 1/27/67 at the cost of $121.14. This was a lot of money in 67. In 1967 I purchased a 1964 Pontiac Catalina 389 tri-power four speed with the left quarter wiped out. We owned both cars at the same time. The Pontiac was my daily driver and my wife drove the 396. Thank you for your videos. I love the way you tell the history of each vehicle.

Back when i was a kid a man had a place similar to that down the road from my uncles house. He had all types of cars from the 30s up to the mid 70s. Probably 300 or more. It was awesome walking around looking at them.

Single pot brake master cylinder, four wheel drum brakes,no head rests or seat back latches. 396 cubic inch "big blocks" in a 325,360 and 375 horse power versions. Two speed "power glide" transmissions , four speed "muncey" transmissions, cast iron "standard flange" , " Holley " single quad intake manifolds. Lap belts , 10 and 12 bolt "posi - traction " limited slip differentials. Love those Chevelles . That was a great time , building and racing and swapping engines. Out with the straight six and in with the v-8 . Numbers didn't match but the joy was in the building and blood pumping fun of loud exhaust and unbridled freedom. Thanks for the memories .

The problem with some of the people that hoard these cars that eventually become worthless and I mean the main problem besides losing history in the process of greed I call it. Some of these hoarders just like more than one Bozo I've dealt with in my time thinks the cars are worth mega money so they want your interest to turn into their lottery for em... Now in reality most people pass on the idea of taking something semi worthless and pouring a fortune of money into in order to preserve history but Ive done that all my life and still see my children as I call em driving around here. A majority of the people I've run into with these classic cars are second generation meaning they inherited the stuff from a father or relative that actually did restore cars. Sadly many of the folks I run into now in possession of stuff like this have some really really bad habits/addictions alcohol & drugs. For a better part of 30 years now I have been after a 1955 Chevy Apache and a 55 Nomad on a lot some distance from here I occasionally pass on by. In years before I stopped several times and offered ample cash for each of the vehicles. Mind you they were in rough shape not terrible 30 years ago. The guy lived there on the property had bad alcohol habit he ended up dying in jail. Every time I made an offer on the vehicles he used to say U gotta come up with more than that. He always stank of booze. Now he's dead and the vehicles are still there and pretty much rotted into the ground. Subjectively a neighbor there knows me from doing business and actually begged me to come get the pair. However people knocked the windows and stuff out trim is now gone on both of em. Pretty much they ended up just as I predicted they would end up. My Ford restoration right now is over the 7K mark. A new bed for the truck new carpet new seat a cam intake carb and all the paint & body work Brand new tires frame coatings on and on it goes. If I sold the truck today I would want 25K for it. Now would someone actually pay me 25K for an old 1988 Snow Fighter? I doubt it but that is my asking price.

I really dig this stuff,started out at the local Dragstrip at 6 months old with Mom packin me around in her arms while she backed Dad into the water box and squeezed VHT down for him to roll into. Some of my earliest memories are of me being passed around to their friends for just a few minutes at a time while they were going rounds and becoming lifelong friends with those peoples kids before we were ever even close to grade school age. Almost 44 now and still remember the sound of Dads Camaro leaving the line at 9K or 9,500 and seeing the whole undercarriage as he broke the beams. I was crushed when he sold that one. I was 7 years old and he had enough of driving semis for someone else,so he let it go to buy his first cab over and flatbed. It evolved into a lucrative trucking company and just one more reason I hate 18 wheelers. On a brighter note, I did pick up a 67 Chevelle SS car last week to go along with the collection.

Man, I know where 69 Chevelle is surrounded by pine trees it's been parked since 1979 and it's super complete... And in relatively good shape...seeing as it's been parked under a lot of pine trees that whole time. But at least it's had all the windows in it and all been rolled up so the interior ain't too bad and everything's there. And it's an SS396 with a Muncie 4-speed all still there! (Somebody already stole the rallye gauge cluster, go figure). But it's just sitting out there rotting. Also has 2 68 Malibus parked next to it. and next to those there's a 69 roadrunner that's been parked out there since 1980..... And it is also complete (although rusty, like most Chrysler's are out here in Virginia). anyway don't mean to go on a long rant but I've been hoping and praying for years that somebody would drag these cars out of there. All the people that used to know about them are dead or too old to mess with them so they've kind of been forgotten. and that Chevelle is a great candidate for a resto. It's pretty solid, all blue with a black vinyl top. If anything I'd like to see someone at least get them out of there...... Because they'll eventually become one with the Earth. 🤦‍♀️ If you know anybody around Gloucester county, Virginia that'd be interested in these cars send them my way I'll take them right to them.
