Montana classic car graveyard has been around for 50 years

This Montana car graveyard has been growing in the mountains for fifty years.

YouTuber Lambvinskis Garage undertook a 10 hour journey from Washington to check it out.

Upon arrival, he found a wasteland with thousands of classic cars spread out over hundreds of acres.

Cars have been left on this site since the 1970s, but some of the vehicles are nearly 100 years old.

Exploring the Montana car graveyard

Despite the yard’s vast size, Lambvinskis Garage weren’t allowed to reveal information about the people who owned it.

The YouTuber told his subscribers: “I’m going to say this now, they don’t really want us telling you who they are because they don’t want to be on the phone all the time.

“If you guys just want parts send me an email then I can get you in touch with them.”

There’s a ton of vehicles to take a look at in the yard, including a GMC van, a Jeep pickup, and a 1970 Cyclone.

Considering they’ve been out in the open air for years, these vehicles have held up remarkably well.

Lambvinskis Garage credits this to the dry Montana climate.

Cars in other climates haven’t held up quite as well – like this car graveyard in Sweden, for example.

This Montana yard is a who’s-who’s of car brands, with Fords, Dodges, Cadillacs and Chevrolets all featuring.

Which car does this YouTuber end up taking home?

With thousands of cars sprawled out across the property, you’d be right in thinking this YouTuber would be spoiled for choice.

But there is one vehicle he’s happy to take home with him – a 1966 Dodge D100.

The van has a 318 Poly Engine and a four-speed gearbox.

It’s got some patches of rust appearing on the exterior but has otherwise held up remarkably well, with a mint green coloring.

At any rate, it’s held up better than this 1963 Chevrolet Nova SS which was also found in Montana.

They don’t call it ‘The Treasure State’ for nothing.
