Really amazing how the years go bye , walking around in the salvage yard, is kind of like walking around inside of someone’s mind, we process a lot of information over the years, somethings are kept, somethings are discarded. Always enjoy salvage yard videos, thank you, Tony

Very well said. On a simpler note, we can also reflect on which cars we have owned, driven or been driven around in.

Thanks for the video!!! I love watching videos with walk through like this, excellent work! So from now on, I will shout out about vehicles that I recognize. 1967 Mercury Cougar. The 1968 had reflectors in the rear quarters. 1969 &1970 were a different body design. 1970 was also the last year for hide-a-way headlights.

We had a yard similar to this one here in NW Arkansas and when the old Man died and the Son got Cancer, the Mom just sold the whole yard(800+ cars most 1950-95) off to the crushers then the land to house developers. I love these old yards, but so many are disappearing with the older generation dying off.

100% correct back when I first started visiting junk yards about 2/3 of the cars looked perfectly good just having a bad trans or engine. They could have easily been fixed and driven another ten years but a 200 dollar trans in a 200 car did not make since. I bought my first car in 1970, a 61 thunderbird for $225 and it had a new very nice paint job on it. There were half dozen 61-63 birds just in the one yard that I got parts from. Two of the cars were actually nicer than mine with perfect interiors and original but faded paint. Today it seems that cars wear equally all over and when they are ready for the junk yard they are worn out mechanically and have crappy interiors and exteriors.

@@tonyscarcare5657 Believe it or not, trees are another major interest of mine. A White Oak growing out of a Mercury or Oldsmobile brings these two hobbies together. If you want to score the hobby hat trick in one video, turn one of the oaks into a piece of furniture or part of a house with classic, American or Canadian made Porter-Cable power tools. At this time, those tools are far cheaper to collect than classic cars in the equivalent state of repair. 🥳🥳🥳 Getting back to old cars, an Uncle and Aunt had a Montego MX wagon of the same or similar year as that coupe.
