FIELD OF DREAMS!!! NEGLECTED AND ABANDONED JUNKYARD FULL OF 1ST GEN CAMAROS AND MUSCLE CARS

Field full of at least 25 first generation Camaros and other musclecars found sitting on a hidden property in SW Tennessee.

To myself, I find these cars almost beautiful in the state of condition there in. Somehow they esacaped the crusher, and they're still surviving. Each one with a history or story to tell. I find these videos that Patrick brings us, very strangely, more interesting than some of the recent car show videos seen here on You Tube. Maybe because they were not the lucky ones to have been pampered or garaged or sold at high auction. They've lived the hard life. I still can't see why anyone would collect these cars and letting them sit like this. But at least they're still here.

Mega ultra stash of great cars. The 66 Nova SS was my favorite car! Thanks a bunch for sharing

Most of these classics were new when I was a driver/owner aged teenager, and now I feel as old as they look, after seeing this. Brings home my age! Amazing how a well restored driveable unit can knock those years off!

I'm from England and love US muscle cars. I learn a lot from these types of films. Keep it up. 👍

[JohnsRSCamaro]

Wow. That’s a goldmine. Most look quite restorable. Lots of good parts.

[timtravasos]

That's incredible and a terrible shame.

Another awesome video. I love seeing whats still out there just waiting to be repaired. It kills me when ppl say there are no more old cars left to be restored. The problem is they just dont wanna look. Thanx for showing us some more diamonds in the rough.

Every time I see a video of a yard like this, I see people leaving derogatory remarks about the condition of the cars. In all honesty we should be thankful for people like this who managed to save any of this stuff.
Having worked in and around auto salvage since 1975, I can say the one thing that almost completely destroyed our hobby was known as "urban renewal" where the cities and then the small towns found out they could get federal and state funding for "cleanup" ie, hiring a building inspector to go around and force people to get rid of unlicensed or "derelict" vehicles. Maybe something simple was wrong with them, or the people didn't have the money to fix them or whatever; well that was declared a derelict vehicle, and it got ticketed and towed at the owners expense, nonsense that continues to this day. And to attempt to save any of these cars by themselves in a group usually brought out the local busybody wining about their "property values" and forcing a person to get rid of them. (Notice the privacy fence in this video...)
When I first started, I watched most of the 50's and 60's cars get scrapped. The money was in ticketing and towing. There was literally no place to save them. Anyone complaining about the cars not being sheltered should remember that if you build a structure it'll probably need to be insured . This looks like someone's private collection, back when the cars could be bought cheaply (relative to today).
Finally, if someone couldn't build some really cool rides out of what's shown, go buy yourself a trailer queen and be done with it.

Great collection! Great video! Thanks! 👍

Sad to see them all rusting away😥 Thanks for sharing it with us Patrick. Lots of those would be easily restored.

[spicoly]

That's a dam shame all those beautiful classic muscle cars rotting away

[pedrogonzales]

An absolutely beautiful yard. Just like an old graveyard. Quiet country, peaceful beautiful!

[mncalapati]

If I had Bill Gates type of money. That entire lot of classics would be fully restored

[choleme]

Omg...a 68 charger just setting there wasting away

[preston]

Never in my life heard of leaves being that damn loud holy shit 😳

[THEWHOLEWORLDLIESUN]

Proof you can't take your idols with you on Judgement Day

[kennyellis]

What a find, I used to be friends with a guy who had a big stash of cars like this, he let me use his shop and even sold me a nova, 4 years later they raided his place and got him for being a big cocaine dealer, I was shocked, all the cars the feds took

[lynnmcmullen]

Makes me happy that these places do still exist
