This isn't a junkyard...
In a backyard that blurs the line between a dream come true and an automotive graveyard, YouTuber DezzysSpeedShop has stumbled upon an intriguing find. This is not your average junkyard; it's someone's personal collection of rusting American muscle cars, featuring everything from Plymouths to Buicks. Astonishingly, many of these fading giants are now up for grabs, offering a veritable playground for restoration enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The collection has a surreal diversity, a far cry from any organized showroom. A 1972 Dodge Charger sits beside a Plymouth Sport Fury—each car with its own narrative of decay or preservation. These aren't just empty shells; many still have their license plates and discernible features intact. It's like a snapshot of automotive history frozen in time and now exposed to the elements.
What sets this particular backyard apart is the sheer scale and variety. Among the highlights is a Plymouth Sport Fury in striking bright yellow, complete with a large intake on the hood. This car appears to be in reasonably good shape, providing a contrasting visual to a weather-beaten Mercury Capri whose paint has seen better days. The collection isn't limited to muscle cars; it also includes unique finds like a Dodge Tradesman van and a Studebaker Commander, each evoking a different era and style.
But not all cars in this collection have stood the test of time equally. While some offer a tantalizing vision of what could be with some restoration work, others are more likely destined for parts, their windows shattered and body panels contorted.
It's a fascinating dichotomy: a private oasis of automotive neglect and potential, brought to public attention by DezzysSpeedShop's recent YouTube feature. The condition of these vehicles varies dramatically, from barely-there rust buckets to surprisingly well-preserved specimens. It's a scale of opportunity for those in the car restoration community—each vehicle a challenge or a prize in its own right.
For those who thrill in the discovery of barn finds, this backyard discovery takes the concept to a new level. It serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes the most incredible finds are not locked away in barns but out in the open, quietly rusting away in someone's backyard, waiting for a second chance.
