Exploring a Junkyard Filled with Rotting Mopar Classics in Ohio-Forgotten Treasures


Fans of vintage Mopar car projects and barn finds will likely enjoy this newest video by Junkcar Willy on YouTube. Walking around this Ohio back country junkyard, Willy shows off a handful of old Dodges in need of new owners and lots of love.

Junkcar Willy travels off the beaten path looking for old car yards often times hitting the junkyard jackpot for muscle car enthusiasts. He does a service with his channel by putting in the legwork finding farmyards full of muscle cars and then helps his viewers seek out parts or project cars at their convenience.

1940’s Dodge Deluxe Sedan Junkyard Find

Willy hikes out in the Ohio sunshine at the Stapleton Auto Parts junkyard in search of anything camera-worthy for his video. At what he describes as a true back-country junkyard, there are rusty trucks, coupes, and sedans galore with all degrees of crash damage littered about the rocky terrain. While some muscle cars were clearly built for the junkyard, some of the examples Willy comes across look quite interesting.

One such example is an old Dodge Deluxe Sedan, or at least what’s left of it. It’s rusty from decades of neglect and sitting outside in the sun and rain for who knows how long. Willy calls out that he often needs help identifying classic cars in mystery junkyards and luckily in this case a viewer calls out the vintage of this model in the comments section.

Plymouth Barracuda Junk Car Has Seen Better Days

Out of breath by the time he hikes around the huge outdoor junk lot, Willy comes across what he thinks is an old Dodge Challenger. Rather, it turns out to be a Plymouth Barracuda. While it does look like it’s been in some sort of fire incident, the majority of the shell and even some of the original interior are relatively intact. Usually, a Plymouth Barracuda is a dream barn find and this could be a very interesting project for a committed person.

This particular Plymouth may not turn into the ultimate Mopar show car, but nonetheless, Willy marches on. It seems this is not the only classic car graveyard as there have been hoards of abandoned Mopars discovered in the woods even.

Willy concludes this particular video with his old saying passed down from his late father who instilled the love of junk cars into him: “Keep being you”.
