BRING 'EM BACK TO LIFE Ep 14 "Classic Auto Parts" Hayden, Idaho (Full Episode)

rusty, that's why it ended up here now, it's the first year for that, yeah, that's nice? although the retractable one is currently inside the trunk area, right, I know I sold the roof. Oh, you did the spotting, yeah, that's a very rare car you're looking at there and I have another 57 retractable, but it has it. a rollover type car Oh, huh, well, it happened, yeah, that's why if so many of them ended up in Salvage, where people can't really find you unless they know you're here, a guard at the gate, okay and then I moved. I wanted to move out of there and buy ten acres here, go through the process to get permits, do it, uh-huh, and this was the only place I could do it because there were two other yards here right now starting their salvage yard. in Kootenai County it's almost impossible for it to be there almost anywhere unfortunately everyone is against salvage but they don't understand that the most recycled item made in America is a car and they have to go through a process and then it's part of the reality, you suppose you can't take all the cars that don't have license plates off the road and put them in a crusher, you know, there are a lot of good things. stuff, oh yeah, those

parts

keep other cars running, I'm not exactly sure, so in this state you have to have a car title to sell your cars, yeah, and we have a 60 Cadillac for half a car, not half, yes, yes, someone.

I needed a right side and here's a 60 Cadillac with a flat roof and that one the engine went overseas and the front clip was to fix a 60 Cadillac at the mill here in town oh well that's good there's a DeSoto there definitely is a '55 DeSoto next to it a '56 New York Wolfhard box that was in a GTO also a '65 Pontiac Catalina Catalina that someone started working on the car on and they actually grafted some hood scoops like a Trans Am directly onto the bed, yes it looks good and here is a 50 million Cadillac here what is left of the 66 Cutlass convertible now in general how are the frames of the cars that have been here during their time of use?

Good goose, you look good. I saw a lot of frames, especially GTO, as convertible frames for some reason. yeah convertibles are a special side these rust dirt builds up there honestly they rust right here there are some 58 Mopars 58 New Yorker 59 Dodge 58 dodge that 57 ambassador over a 57 two door hardtop ambassador that is rare and then a 59 Fury hardtop on the other side that would be the ambassador it has tinted windows yeah it would have been a good car to fix up but it's beyond what you know it was a v8 car Co Wow but you know there's a piece of trim that could be worth a lot of money to Someone you know if they have one that's worth showing off and it's missing a moving piece and it's an Ambassador Country Club facet of a country club and it has the little Farina emblem on the fender, The body was designed by Farina, yes, yes, huh. yeah I got it I like to show those little things you know you're taller than you cute hey it's out of the 50 dodge the huge DeSoto this is a dog here oh yeah when a 60 Chrysler would cut the tips off of the fins to send it abroad. and then a 57 Imperial to the door.

Oh, early weird car, yeah, sure, yeah, the 392 Hemi is long gone, yeah, yeah, there's a 50 Studebaker, but it's not a starlight from here. You have to scroll to see those trees so people can tell where we are. really in Idaho, that's right, the tree lines are higher here than most places we see, we see up to here if it's a 66 year old convertible. I placed the

back

of the bed frame with a probe and picked it up from the

back

to the east, from the back, well if you have I have a convertible that is functional and relatively clean and the frame is gone, it's worth trying to find a good one , so that's a 55 Poverty Flipper, the 66 Riviera is done, yeah, and that one had a 425 nail head that went to the street. rod uh-huh Tamara got wet if you see it there it'll be fine yeah I think it was my shelf I mean my viewfinder there's a 58 Dodge for the door and a 62 Chrysler 300c ball and on the other side there's a 56 Dodge. look at a Hudson Hornet.

I have a lot of Hudson

parts

, oh, but I only have one car here. A few years ago I bought a property where the guy in 1958 had bought the Hudson Parts Store, the northwest part store. I have to Did you stop because my battery just died? Something I'll change my battery and it will recover in the Hudson, so Mike, did you tell us again and let's see that you bought a warehouse? Well, I bought in this state where the guide picked up cars. his whole

life

and then in 1958 he bought the Northwest Parts Store for Hudson and he took it home, well in his house and around his house and in another house and he passed away and I bought it at a sale and I won that and I've been selling the Hudson Park since then so you are a source for Hudson parts that can't be prepared yet and just this for a car okay that's important information for a lot of people absolutely that's a nice one too rear bumper for that car. but I've been selling like an ax West taillight grilles and that on eBay for quite a while for Hudson okay okay and I even have old ones like I have a Hudson 36 shell that's an OS but let me let me shut you up .

It tells me that again you have a Hudson 36 grille housing which is the Hudson Terraplane Nos uh-huh 35 grille housing and a real screen that sit well and I have a lot of pieces that I don't know what they are yet, well you can try to combine them. them to fill this one this is probably a fifty I'm not sure it's a 50 I'm learning now mine I have two one both roll one but one was a three speed overdrive the other one was

auto

matic the other The one that drives is an

auto

matic but it Well, what I want to fix in my program is the overdrive.

I have the transmission to have the driveshafts, but the owner of the car bought it at a shop and someone had this but absconded with the engine. and the bell are fine so I don't have a bell with a clutch assembly yet so I have to find a helmet like this that is standard or find someone who has a bell and clutch and tells me they will sell it to me reasonably . It's hard to find everything, I don't think, so I haven't gone looking yet, but that is actually quite stainless and there are still things in it that are in good shape.

This holds up pretty well in this climate whether or not it's raining today, right? Well, okay, and you, the 55 Buick here, you delivered a quarter panel for my convertible that I have, oh, okay, and you pull away and there's a 68 Cutlass convertible, just that yellow door, that's all that's left of that car, everything else you sold. outside of it, the frame, the reverb section of the hood, which is a nice door to be back in the east, we lift the door like this to see if it still has the bottom right, often they don't care because some people They just seem to like the Cadillac. fins, uh, yeah, they shape them into hot rods and stuff.

I guess that would mean a tree falling on the car, uh, and the forest, one of us is a 40 on top of the 160 series, okay, Renee, where did we see one of them happen recently once it's a? Packard 160 Texas, that's right outside the CTC door, that's right. Oh, the CTC Auto ranch right outside worked, it's in good shape too and that's the case where two brothers bought property to create a salvage yard in 1985 because their construction business was going south. Texas and they've been growing the yard by buying other salvages, the guys want to retire and move in the cars to have everything organized much like you, but they're in groups like all the Rivieras and all the barracudas and everything. those car bears and they're all in order so it's important to keep your ears open for people looking to retire and put things away and here's my

life

for fifty-five Cadillacs on that paper at 151 Cadillac yeah. behind you is a 58 foot Seville, this is the top of another Barracuda that is actually outside the Riviera Oh Riviera Hotel Riviera, oh honey, it looks a lot like a CUDA and then another series of Cadillacs from the series, 66 260, we have a lot of caddy pieces.

Wow, yes. We'll have to show you our photo before we go, we have what we call our family photo and 56 Ford or 210 six passenger, whoops when 73 88 convertible, I'm over 60 converting here all together, you said your frames here are usually pretty. Well, there's no snow up here and they're not useful like they'll wear out? Well they don't use salt, they used sand for a long time and now they're using that lease, they don't say it's salt, but it does say. There's chloride in it so I don't know what things will look like in ten years but the frames are good for another story, especially the lint front because back then people got their feet wet driving in the winter and they stayed wet , so it rusted.

Now I have a question, this must be a 49 Chevy fastback 51. The accident is new, it's 51 okay, so they started the fastback at 49 okay and went to 51. Have you seen the one that rusts has a 49 Ford or fastback neither The helmet must originally belong to his father, maybe well, it's a clean car, it's fine and all it needs is a steering wheel and the left and right front axle and it would be a great rod. I mean, I thought I was doing it. I was interested in buying it. the way it kicked the tires and stuff, I mean, I was surprised how clean it was and it seemed to have air conditioning, it had a special condenser in the firewall under the engine compartment and down here in the driver's corner.

On the duct side, the dashboard was leveraged to control the temperature and I hadn't seen it before. This one here doesn't have it. It only had one vent. I know what it would be. I guess maybe someone gave it an unoriginal air. It didn't look like it was an aftermarket product, that's what threw me off because I know what they look like, it's a 64 Bel Air truck, a 64 truck wheel just fixed up until six within the free world are the first employees, that's true , yes, and that one is loaded with energy. windows power tilt seats am/fm I've sold a lot of those parts, although it's the white one, the power seat and the power windows, I actually very often had a big block for this Ben it was a 327 327 huh, there's a sheet of a The delivery of the sedan was a real piece of shit, here's another 36 Ford up here complete with bullet holes, yes, yes, another four-door trunk in the back.

I still have the Flathead in me; yes, the heating system with the air through which the air enters and is expelled by the engine. and I went in Wow, right, and the vent still works fine. The only thing I need to add to what we have is to get you a business card with your website and add it to win it when I edit this and see is see like you. We are in business to do this. I don't have to run home and edit it and it will be in one of my future

episode

s, but I'm so glad that Rush told me about you and that I was able to call you and thank you.

Thanks for walking in the rain and this is our first salvage yard what I call Idaho walking so I know there is a lot to do and it's a shame when they just

bring

a shredder when no one takes the initiative to want to have one. option and do the work because some people, a lot of people like you, would come forward to bid on some of them and save them, you know,

bring

them in and give them extended flight time, so to speak, that's a 58 Ford door right there, remember. My grandmother lent us hers once as Graham.

I drove one of them new until she died. 55 58 Ford oh yeah, yeah,

classic

convertibles, there's a Ranchero up there, not you, the only one, I know I have another one, a couple of loans, that's about 72, huh, well, that's it. What are they here for, what if someone wants to buy the whole case? You have something negotiable, yeah, yeah, so Mary Ellen, uh, that's right, that's right, my wife recognized this when we first got married. I bought him a 58 Delray two-door. Okay, I taught him to drive a stick shift and we had him for the first part of our married life along with the 57 and then from then on we stuck with the seven and the six, okay, and it's another 57, oh , that's the other one. retractable hardtop oh yeah the one that was rolled and then the 61 Bonneville convertible with the tonneau on there that's a pretty weird car because it has factory bucket seats in a granable yeah and the seats are worth a small fortune you know what further?

It's rare that they have three speeds on the tree and they did. I've seen it, but hey, my feet are wet, we're done. It's a '58 truck. Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen one of them. Well you. I know 58 Ford started to lose it's quality there they went downhill fast if it wasn't for the Mustang they would bring this back they probably wouldn't have it's wet I can't go on like this please say put it on.
