El. Caminos. Too

Yea so far this yard had the largest amount of novas,omegas, venturas, and apollos in one area than all of the other yards I have been too. It’s a shame some of the cars had cars stacked on top because the bottom car appeared to be solid before having the other car placed on the roof.

Ya that is why they are here junk scrap metal dreamers

That's trouble people on pick him up for nothing. Not Pay anything that they are worth. But if you sat on a moment enough somebody will come along and it's usually not somebody local. It's how all that people will drive such a long distance or had them shipped. Somehow it makes them worth more because I had to go halfway across country to get it. I saw 39 wagon that was in the family since 1970 give or take. Got about five k out of it and you could just about Jack the body off the frame it was so rusted. That was my I don't want to mess with the price to the guy and he took me up on it. I probably turn down$20,000 part at least over my lifetime. That's when you add up all the 100 to $500 offers some people say where you going to let Rust in the ground. You're darn right before I give it away, now that guy could have had that car for about $1,500 less. Just point of view send those guys who actually owned a batch of cars that will Rust away and has rusted away but they're worth more now than they were when they were in good shape. Not coming down on you in particular. Just pointing out the other guy's point of view that has a bunch of cars laying around. Anyway there's true that some guys always planned to get around to it. Much more so for some reason people think you out laying around they're entitled to it for free.

I hear ya! I’m a big Vega fan. I especially have a soft spot for those wagons!

Any pintos

Junk scrap metal

They ship.

What do need ?

Yes. I think I made a joke about it being the “full frame edition”. I think they just through the body on there to move it around since they had just recently torch cut most of the rear structure out of the car for someone.

We special ordered a 76. Nova 2 door 350 4 spd. Tinted glass rallyes. Like a SS but no for 3700 bucks

@@user-ht1xu4gv2u wow. That was a rare combo with a 4 speed in those years. I had 4 all together of that body style. 2 doors and automatic. 2 were police specials. Another V8 and an inline 6. They were just old cars when I had them. I still have one in the Barn from when I was about 20.

Definitely an awesome junkyard but damn was it hot being there in July!

Well this guy just found it for you. Called up to salvage yard in a ship it to you.

@@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525 there’s a salvage yard in a ship somewhere???

Just a 2 day update.... I stopped by my local Paint and Supply store to look at Colors and I picked up gallon of Eastwood's Agave Green Metallic, Why Agave Green? because I got a SMOKING deal on it, my local store is an Eastwood Distributor and it was a "Miss-Mix" and I paid $50 for it, which is 66% of the price, and honestly IDGAF that it's 1/8 shade off of what it's supposed to be. I'm Painting the whole car so noone's gonna notice anyway unless there's another Agave Green car sitting right next to it and there's little to no chance of that.

Love the 75-79s. Especially the Ventura-Omega-Skylark. Is your Omega the one with the angular front facia? I think that was a one year only front end. The straight 6 is a good engine that will last forever. I came across a '76 Omega F85 for sale about three years ago. That is the strip down model that is super RARE. Only the second one I have seen in my life. Someone had swapped in a SBC but the emissions sticker showed it had a 250 originally.

@@tommylord all of the Omega's had the Trianglur front-end but the 77-79 were the ones with the pronounced beak. Congrats on the 76 F85, Not alot of people realize that Olds brought F85 edition back from 75-79, they think they ended in 67, which they did with the Cutlass but they brought it back for the Omega in 75 because sales for the Omega were bad in 73 and 74 and they didn't want to scrap the model.

​@@TheREALOC1972 Thanks for the reply. What I meant by angular was the grill and headlight bezels were sloped back at the top, instead of straight vertical. That was 1975 only. I did not buy that F85 I saw but I took a lot of photos for brevety. Back in about 1982, I saw an Omega (76-77ish) parked in a small town that had a factory 5-speed. I bet those were rarer than hen's teeth. I think that a 5-speed could only be had with the 260 V8.

@@tommylord no they all had the slope, that was the way Olds used to make them different from the Nova, Ventura and Skylark.

Junkyards like this one are great because the cars and parts are relatively solid starting points. Yards out by me are filled with cars beyond repair most times

Unfortunately I don’t have any of them.

Damn! Keep me posted if you hear back from them on a price. They also have a phone number on there website you can call.

@@hatchsrecreationalengineer1997 Man I hope...I called and they sent me to the other yard. I left a message AND sent an email, but nothing yet. I may have to take the 2300 mile drive out there. 😆 My brother lives in Tucson...my have to send him up there.

Hahaha I know Michelle! Those things are embarrassing lol. That’s why I only break them puppies out over 105 degrees.

Cool car but no I don’t know anyone personally that has one for sale

N.O.V.A Nova Omega Ventura Apollo All are “technically” nova to me. Also since 90% of the parts are interchangeable between the models I feel it deserves to be represented in the Nova scrap yard highlights.

@@hatchsrecreationalengineer1997 engines? Don’t think so. Each division of GM made their own engines until around 1980.

@@GregZentTrumpetMan that’s why I said 90% of the parts are interchangeable.

@@hatchsrecreationalengineer1997 you really think the drivetrain is only 10%? Ok

Unfortunately nothing. I live in NJ and was visiting on vacation. Couldn’t find anything small enough to smuggle in my airplane luggage lol.

Try North Carolina and and the West Virginia / Southeast Ohio area junkyards. And the right area that seem to have fairly rust Free cars in their yards. If I can find a half a dozen 1970s challengers. You are bound to find a 68 Nova or two. Hopefully you find a part you're looking for.

Nice catch! Yes the thumbnail car is a Ventura. I used this because it was the most complete example at the yard and the “do not crush” painted on the side was awesome! The boneyard section I filmed was filled with not just novas but Venturas, omegas, and Apollos. Since NOVA is an acronym for the 3 other auto manufacturers I felt it still applies to the NOVA boneyard.

@@hatchsrecreationalengineer1997 All good. Great video by the way. I could live there.

@@bullzeyez3236 your telling me! If that place was only a few hours from my house I’d be broke haha. If shipping wasn’t so expensive I would have been sending parts back home for sure!
