When Steve Maganate’s Junkyard Gold series was discontinued, he knew that the idea still had an audience and he knew that he still loved making that type of content. The solution? Keep it up on his own! If you have not followed Magnante on YouTube you should as he has kept up the junkyard crawling perfection under his own guise now and it is really fun. It’s doubly cool for us because he’s usually in wooded New England style junkyards which we’re most familiar with, also being from this area.
So how good are the videos? We decided to start with this AWD mini-van profile because frankly if the dude can make one of these babies interesting, the rest of the stuff is gravy. In fact, it is an interesting look at an odd-ball vehicle. Very few of these were made and what’s weird is that they were not totally uncommon to see in the New England area. The problem was that no one bought them anywhere else.
Check out this offering from Maganate and if you dig it, like and subscribe to his channel. There’s LOADS of great stuff there.
Thanks for posting, really enjoy these videos from Steve and I didn’t know he had continued after Junkyard Gold!
rear suspension is called “de dion” used on alfa romeo alfetta (both the ww2 vintage racer and the 1980s sedan), lower unsprung weight than live axle but still keeps the tyres flat on the ground whatever the load or cornering position
Enjoyed this and learn a lot
Really good stuff! Keep ’em coming
I watch Steve more than network TV.
