Buying one abandoned Toyota is usually enough to keep a home mechanic busy for months. Buying 16 of them, all at once, including several classic Land Cruisers and a bizarre six-wheeled pickup? Now that's the level of commitment we like to see. Most of these vehicles had spent at least 15 years sitting outside, with some untouched for roughly two decades. Missing engines, dismantled interiors, flat tires, and vegetation growing around the trucks were only the beginning. For Nikolas McCelvey, the enthusiast behind the Redline Ranch YouTube channel, however, the collection represented an opportunity too tempting to ignore. An older Toyota collector named Mike wanted to clear his property, preferably by selling everything to one buyer. The resulting $20,000 deal included not only the vehicles but also an enormous inventory of spare parts. Getting everything home would require a week of hauling, plenty of improvisation, and a willingness to tackle some seriously unusual machinery.

Some still had their engines and transmissions, while others were little beyond chassis, axles, and body panels. McCelvey reckoned there were enough usable components to assemble at least one worthwhile FJ40. Four spare Land Cruiser inline-six engines added to the possibilities, although years of outdoor storage meant their condition was uncertain.

The assortment also included a five-speed Corolla wagon, a 1997 four-wheel-drive 4Runner with the 3.4-liter V6, and several older pickups. One very appealing 1988 truck had just 73,000 original miles on the odometer. Other finds included a solid-front-axle 1984 pickup, a factory turbo extra-cab shell, and a one-ton truck with a massive flatbed and liftgate. Many needed substantial mechanical work before they could return to service. The Six-Wheeled Monster Image Credit: Redline Ranch / YouTube. The strangest vehicle was undoubtedly Longshot, a heavily modified 1988 Toyota pickup with a fiberglass custom cab and a 12-foot utility bed. Designed for six-wheel drive, it featured two heavy-duty rear axles and a custom pass-through differential arrangement that would allow power to reach the third axle. Unfortunately, Longshot lacked both an engine and transmission, and its drivetrain still needed assembly. Recovering the enormous truck was challenging enough, especially when it began moving dangerously close to a steep drop-off.

The rescue involved repeated trailer trips, failing tires, muddy ground, troublesome winches, and heavy lifting equipment. After seven days, the team had recovered the collection, finishing with a 1989 Toyota U-Haul box truck. Restoration is a whole different matter, and McCelvey admits he cannot keep every vehicle. Still, he has helped the previous owner clear a property full of long-forgotten machinery while giving at least some of those old Toyotas a realistic chance of returning to the road.
