- It's day one of the road trip from Midland, Texas, to McPherson, Kansas, and Tom has already struck gold. Hidden just outside of Lubbock, TX, lies a yard chock-full of desirable muscle cars that normally would make Tom go wild. But in this case they were all overshadowed by a particular orange Pontiac. Follow along as Tom checks another rare and desirable car off his barn find bucket list with the discovery of a GTO Judge.

The longer I watch this video the more I understand why it’s so hard to find old cars because people like this have hundreds of them rotting away in their yards and refuse to sell them and have no possible way to restore them
Yes all them cars will waste away if he dont have money to fix them up poor person dream
Gotta wait for them to die
they have mental disorder
Best❤
The kids will sell them, you can't take them to heaven
We all know damn well that “Rick” ain’t never gonna fix up a single one of those cars. 😂😂😂
I happen to know some of his cars are show cars.
I actually work on them for him.
Yep I was thinking the exact same thing,ain’t nothing gonna get done over there,let the weather destroy them instead,very sad indeed
Nice❤
The guy with all the cars and trucks, I’ve seen this story playout so many times, he never gets around to getting anything really restored, and then he passes on and the kids see nothing but money and they try to sell everything for more than it’s worth, when if the guy would of sold some of them to fund a few projects he would either have a nice collection of restores cars, or a pocket full of money from restoring and selling.
"I run everybody off and I never mow the grass".....I'm a lunatic basically.
Scott Blackwell and I keep a Plymouth Superbird in a horse pasture. “Gonna fix’er up one day”
We all have that special *kind* of friend...
I'm a no mow grass type with a 71 satellite.
Certified even....I was fully expecting this guy to say "shitters' and chase Arnie off
Very cool episode, but it makes me sad that all of those cars will rot into the ground before they ever get done.
Its true. When will he have the time to finish some, let alone all. He probably has a rep for buying old cars from people, so others will miss out.
You are so rite.they will all rot away very very sad.
I feel you bro :'(
@@robertcraciun9481 I don't understand people like that the cars should be on the road to enjoy and show off that's wen they made cars not all plastic.
Mike Jencks modern cars are metal and do have the ability to rust. Just the bumpers and the interior parts are plastic
"I'm not a hoarder". Riiiiiiiight
"oh yeah, yeah yeah"
I was thinking that to myself just before he said it. When he's gone and the kids auction that stuff off boy the money will be huge.
Wow
In my opinion the judge sould be in the garage... Not the convertible 57..
michael king the 57 is worth more and more rare
Go back in 5 yrs and the judge will still be sitting there i bet ya!!
My grandfather worked until he retired for Pontiac Motors in Michigan and he made the GTO Judge. I'd love to have one for sentimental reasons. My grandfather meant a lot to me. He was an amazing person.
Unbelievable...they will sit there until he gets old and sick.
Then the family will start unloading it all, seen it a thousand times!
Probably to a scrapyard to much bother to have a sale! Are you kidding no way I'd try to liquidate his stuff. Pickers (not the show) WHINING quibbling over a buck or two. Strangers walking through and one arrogant a'hat trying to buy it all for a half cent on the dollar. No thank you. Add the esses to a'hat
He already is sick and not young either, to admit that he never finishes anything but nothing is for sale. Sick, selfish, old man.
@@bryanphillips6666 He looks healthy and fit, but he'd be wise to start paring it down to street survivors to sell to folks who are too young to ever get that opportunity to restore so much of that stuff. Charity or something to encourage new blood in the hobby. So much good can come from it. He'd said something a good home in Kansas for a good cause. I want to see that! This was an amazing video. Finnegan and many other channels do the low budget build's of stuff of their own taste. I know how many people have comments on how you see it all time and it's not untrue. As a kid before car's took over my life I met an old guy who was a neighbor of a guy who I stayed with for a vacation and he collected steam engine's in Pennsylvania and when he died and they auctioned off his collection people came from other continents! Enjoy it before you die!
to be honest theres probably a few of us that have more than one project car, and may or may not get our cars ever finished. But this guy is a true dumbfuck, in that he can afford to just keep buying em and letting them sit there like he thinks thats cool or something, yeah, yeah yeah what a tard show
@@seanworkman431 Well put Sean.
Usually these episodes make feel sad, but today it made me feel heart broken with the judge, that white fastback, and the boss.
absolutley........ so many nice high end muscle cars there....
that judge looks like a month of weekends to be roadworthy, and its rotting in the weeds
@@thunderbolt337 The judge looks like an easy project to get going. The other ones wouldnt be as easy, but definitely doable and worth doing!
What beautiful style we enjoyed in the day!! Those cars spoke to you. Enjoy those beauties!!!
Just a couple million dollars sitting around... Love it!
I’m amazed at the things one person can collect. I often wonder where did/how did they ever come up with the money to buy all these items. The amount of property they have, the buildings, the parts, it’s mind boggling. Would love to know what they did/do for a living. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to have anything finished. I don’t think he’ll ever get done. A great video, but it makes me sad to see these beautiful old cars just rot away.
I wonder the same thing. I have to save up for any parts even if its an alternator lol. I have a decent job and regular lifestyle. Cant imagine how much money it takes to buy all that stuff and the space for storage. It drives me crazy that my one truck isnt done and having that much stuff unfinished would drive me crazy
LMAO, this guy will never ever even do half of a car. Just a plain good old dreamer...
but has 100 more cars than you
It sucks to see Rick won't sell any of those cars and won't fix them so they'll all rust away
And drives a new Camaro. Geezer. Wtf
Hopefully his kids sells all of it lmao
@@reisen-5970 superbird . They didn't even show all the old Chrysler's. Glanced over that. If someday I get a horse
@@reisen-5970 I know right I would love to own that judge
Isn't it amazing that he doesn't just have a Mustang it's a boss he doesn't just have a Camaro it's a z28 I bet each one of his cars were top of the range in there day as good as it gets
New drinking game:
Take a drink everytime Rick says "Yeah".
You'll have alcohol poisoning in less than 20 minutes.
Can't believe that Judge is just rotting there.
Absolutely horrifying
What about the Superbird? He has many cars that should be inside, I guess its a good thing he lives in a dry climate so they wont completely rot away.
😢😭
It sucks knowing that gto is in the wrong hands that guy Rick complete dumbass leaving 100,000 dollar car outside to rust
@@mchism4224 agreed. At least put a fucking cover on it or something Try to put in the tiniest bit of effort to preserve such an amazing car...
"I'm not a horder!" " I'm going to get to it soon." How long have you had it? " 20 years." This guy is funny
Yeah, most of his cars have been his for 10-25 years. Imagine seeing them 20 years ago before the extra rust/rot. Very sad & disappointing.
Dude, he made me sick to my stomach.
I tell my kids it's "Inventory" not Hoarding.
Hard to let go. You get attached to things. Then you leave them a mess to clean up when you're gone.
❤❤😊
Is it original? "yah"
Is it factory 4-speed? "yah, yah"
Do you have a wing for it? "yah"
Are you gonna just let it sit here and rot? "yah"
Digi tal 😂
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
😂😂
“Exactly”
It's a guy who does not realize his own age. He thinks he still has 40 years to do all that restoring he wants to do. Considering he thinks an air suspension is modern he's too stupid to realize 99% of all that will never ever get done and his kids will probably scrap it all soon as he is gone.
And #3 Rick is kind of a goof for leaving that Judge sitting outside in that West Texas sun.
"When I get serious about it" ~ How long have you had it? Oh, about 25 years" I couldn't stop laughing......
Freakin' hoarder, those poor cars are rotting into the ground. I was drooling over that Judge...
rwdplz1 stop humping. you can't even afford them anyways.
"I'm not a hoarder". Nah mate you're a Gonnacologist. Gonna do this, gonna do that.
I was thinking the same thing... Someone needs to tell this guy the definition of hoarder... Like Clint said... what a clusterfuck...
Rick is in denial.....or he is extremely overwhelmed with projects
He needs a box of 'Roundtoits'..I'll do it when I get around to it...
Every moron dropping comments like this should saddle up in person get a texas car
I drove a 3k mile round trip n actually came home with an amazing 55 ford truck
"This car is not for sale." Meaning it will rot to pieces completely.
I can't stand boomers like this. The Younger Generation is going to reap the rewards when they all eventually die off.
Take a shot every time the "Car Rotting Hoarder" says "Yah"
“When the time comes...” 😂
The comments section here is brutal😂 but also correct 🤷🏻♂️
for real. He's an eccentric old fool
when he dies
What a character Rick!.."I'm no hoarder!"...yet nothing's completed...my ol' man had an expression "sh*t or get off the pot!"...part with some of it already!..once again, thx, Tom & Hagerty.
I posted that's not a Judge unless I have verified papers. No WAY THAT rusty pos is worth what he said
Such hoarder he’s even filled the bloody horse stable!
The psychology of car hoarding would make an interesting episode by itself.
Damn that is so sad.
The Judge, 442, Z28s, outside will sit there and rot till he dies.
yeah, and a worthless fiero kit car in the last shop....even the nice cars will need work to get back on the road
boss mustang, chevelle ss, super b...there alot of nice cars getting destroyed.
Yep and eventually theyll get to the point of no return
That judge, 70 Plymouth, camaro, 442....none deserve to be there
YES.... That is what I said. This guy is an ass hole for letting these things sit and never selling
The only one this guy deserves is that shitty new camaro he uses as an every day driver. At least there will be two-trillion of those before they quit making them.
Car guys can talk about cars all day. I guess thats why I binge watch this channel. Even if you're not able to buy the car, its still amazing to see these gems people have stashed all across this great country.
He will never see in his lifetime those cars restored.
I'd be willing to bet not a single one makes it back on the road before he dies. Not without someone else doing it.
This guy must expect to live 200 more years. That's about how long it's gonna take him to get a car done
If this guy had 200 more years, he would continue buying cars to add to the rust pile. He isn't collecting to restore, he's collecting so you can't restore.
Amazing collection, but you can tell the guy wants to own things more than restore them. It's his stuff to do with as he likes, but no doubt a lot of those outside will be useless by the time anyone gets around to fixing them.
elobiretv he dose it so he can brag about having every car but the people he brags to don't know they are rotting into the ground
Love your work Tom , and respect to you that you dont openly JUDGE some of these characters and there amazing but sad collections.. as you can read in the comments its a sad , and frustrating time for car guys picking over the bones of whats left whilst others hoard hundreds of classics to rot back to mother earth.... There not making any more and as each car goes to rust and dust , so too does its story , its history and its future .....
dude has a superbird sat rusting in his pony compound and he's more excited about his easy rider replica...
And wasnt even a good replica lol
Does he think all those cars will age like a fine wine? They're turning to rust. He's just another hoarder.
wixom01 “I’m not a hoarder though” ya ok bud. American pickers would have a field day in his garage... he’s a hoarder
He is hoarder, but when he dies and someone takes over, cleans his mess and share it, the world will be richer :)
M Von Drak unfortunately one of his kids will be in charge of that and will probably say “oh no we can’t get rid of these cars dad would’ve wanted these to be restored” and sit there for another 50 years to rot and be forgotten by the next generation
@@mvondrak1965 dude in 20 more years half of these cars won't even be salvageable once cars get to much rust ots just beyond repair
the type of guy who will let those rot away, wont sell, will die and family will have them crushed. such a shame and a waste of some great cars.
Agreed, I really cannot understand what failed logic people like him use. It's almost like a kid playing keep away, he doesn't really want to do anything with those cars but sure doesn't want anyone else touching them.
@@TheSaturnV Its like ancient egypt burying all the gold all the treasures with their dead. Absurdly stupid. Its Greed, selfishness, and the inability to let go!
When the family would be me, i would sell the bad ones and restore the good ones myself, and make a small fortune, because all i see in alot
of those cars is dollars, and alot of them.
He said his son was a car guy so yeah, nothing will get crushed and most likely auctioned
Marc D - and didn’t I hear that the son passed on that Judge? If so, the son needs Dr. Phil as well ‼️🤡🤪😂🇺🇸👍
10 years from now they will still be sitting there rotting away....
I know this guy he will never fix anything. He just hoards cars.
"I'm not a hoarder". Screw this guy hoarding all these cool cars
yeah !!! and at the end he said next time you around here i will have more stuff
He's got good taste, you've got to give him that.
The second yard was awesome but sad at the same time, he will never live long enough to finish them
He'll live long enough to let Father Time and Mother Nature destroy them so that no one will have a chance to have them. He'll live long enough for that to happen.
Someone will get these gems one day at his estate sale, sad to see all these treasures rotting away
Well hopefully he keeps his paperwork in order because that can be a nightmare. I recently bought an estate car that I had been trying to buy for over 20 years, and then they couldn't find the title. In the end I had to do a title search, then chase down the guy who had last titled/registered the car in 1977, then talk him into getting a duplicate title so he could sign it over to me to get the title straightened out. Lucky for me he was a nice guy.
Freedomquest08 wow, lucky for you ... so what would happen if the guy had passed on to the car gods?
Freedomquest08 oh wow , like u said he better keep all his paperwork in order then, sounds like a nightmare, glad u got it all squared away
@@Freedomquest08 just get a salvage title
"Just dont ask if anything's for sale" That there is the common thread with so many of these car owners, and the reality is....one day he'll pass away and they'll still be sitting there deteriorated even further and for someone else to deal with, and often times the siblings follow the same model as the one that left those classics behind.
Rick likes to protest a lot but deep down there's a kinship there. Two guys knowing a hell of a lot and talking the language of cars. Great finds H, look forward to seeing more.
So hard to see so many epic machines laying waste, sometimes it's hard not to get furious when you see Boss Mustangs, Z28 Camaros, Chargers,challengers,superbirds, chevelle, tri year Chevy, hot rods, and GTO Judges being neglected by a man that has to many things that he no longer Truly Appreciates them... Hard to watch
Truth.
It's a shame to see people with classics that work not being used.
yup, I'd rather have a couple to drive and enjoy than 100 yard decorations.
“I’m not a hoarder”😂😂😂 if greed was a person
"Oh yeah yeah. Yeah yeah. Of course. Oh yeah. Yeah yeah." The similarities between being a tweeker and being a hoarder are definitely worth a look. Who knows, this guy might be both.
My heart hurts seeing the BOSS, Judge and Superbird just fading away.
It’s ok to have these cars safely put away.
BUT it’s a sin to let them rot away.
To be valuable they must be restored and protected.
paulthesoundguy1 well said
Also a sin to covet them and be jealous of the dude.
...or, ironically, the more of these that get saved, the less the ones that have already been saved are worth.
With boomers in heavy die-off mode and only a tiny percent of younger guys having the ability (let alone the desire) to own classic muscle, their values will simply continue to drop. Too much supply, while demand dries up equals big losses. So NOT saving every one might actually help stave off some of those loses...
Sad.
Well, they aren't going to rot being this is in Texas, but Rick will be dead and gone some day leaving this herculean mess to his family, and that's the real shame of it. Selfish prick
@@styldsteel1 even in Texas cars rot away
Let's be real, these cars are NEVER going to get finished. He is obsessed with buying but never gets them back on the road. I hate to see these classics sitting out in the weather.
I owned a ‘70 Goat back in 1983…fastest ride I ever had the honor to own. Thanks for the trip back
"When i get back to them" Translation: None of these cars will ever be finished..........hell they won't even be started.
specwar64 seems like true
That second guy Rick is your typical car hoarder who will never restore a single one of these cars and never sell one until he is 80. Maybe.
That's a shame!
It will sit there until it goes to estate sale. Sad part is he could sell 5 or 10 of those scrap cars and have enough cash to pay someone to build himself a $100,000 GTO Judge (Because he will never finish it himself).
Why is that? Many people are like that and I've never understood it. Are they just afraid of change or simply things happening beyond their control? I literally have a mother in law just like this who is letting real estate properties rot to the ground rather than restoring & renting them out. She could be a millionaire by now if she would simply make smart decisions rather than put her head in the sand and hope that tomorrow is a better day. I'm so perplexed by these people and wish someone could shed some light on it for me.
@@scottblackwell5789 classic hoarder. He thinks he will get to it one day and can't imagine paying someone else to do it. But he has so many projects and so little focus he never actually finishes anything.
My uncle rented a body shop next to a junk yard.
This was back in 78 or 79. I would work there on weekends. One day we went in to look for some parts and I saw a blue Judge sitting there all original black interior. I asked my uncle if they would sell the car, he said lets ask.
I gave all the money I had saved up and bought that car for $ 1000.00
It was in bad shape, window was left open, tires all flat and the brakes locked up.
I worked on that car every day after school and on weekends for about 5 months. My uncle helped of course.
I made that car look like brand new.
I drove that car for about 10 years, still mint condition. I finally sold it to a guy from California for $ 31,500.
I Will never forget that car.
I asked would they se
Heartbreaking to see so much left to rot, "Not for sale" "I am starting work on that soon" "Its a project I will be doing that next" all will be sold when he dies, still unfinished.
"I'm not a hoarder". LOL!
This dude is great at buying cars but terrible at taking care of them
It’s hard to take care of that many cars but let’s be honest he probably saved a lot of them from cash for clunkers.
Hood didnt open, guy doesent lube or grease anything, proof alone
Moron
@David Watson If he sold a few, he'd have the money to finish some projects. There was a 'reality' show called "Lords of the Car Hoards" that dealt with people like this...
I’ve seen these kind in Kansas. I used to be a volunteer firefighter. One day I was off my regular job, and my pager went off for a possible house fire, just three miles from my house, in the country. When I went to get in my truck, I looked North and saw a column of smoke, dirty gray in color. A typical cookout for structure fires. I was there before the trucks arrived, and the house was already completely engulfed. However, that wasn’t all that was on fire. This place has hundreds of different kinds and makes of cars. Old ones, not so old ones, cars, trucks, convertibles, antiques, you name it, and it was probably there. And probably a quarter of them were already burning. No fire hydrant, although there was a water tower about 3/4 miles away.
We all hoped upon hope and prayer that the resident, an old guy in his 70’s, a widower, wasn’t there. However, we found out he was there, and had been consumed by the fire.
After all was said and done, his house, garage, two barns filled with cars, and likely over 100 cars, were either completely burned or so damaged by fire, they basically was trash. They had an auction if you want to call it that, for people that wanted some of the bodies for other restorations, but I Sunny think any of them brought more than a hundred, and that was few. Some were just dragged out and hauled away for free, what was left was picked up by a salvage owner for $25 apiece.
The sad part was, this guy was just like the last guy. Bought ol all these cars, with intent to restore them,, got carried away, wife died, daughter lived in NC, I believe, the guy had let the house and the other buildings insurance lapse, let life insurance lapse, despite the daughters plea to let her help him, and to sell the cars so he would have some money, and move next door to her and his son-in-law, in a house they owned as well, rent free.
Instead, they ended up paying to have everything bulldozed and hauled away, and ended up selling the land for way under what it would of if the dad would have listened to her and some of his friends that kept trying to help him.
I’ve seen other people the same way, just like this. This guy will end up dying, and leaving it to someone else if there is, just as we all saw it. What a waste of someone buying some of them and reassuring them. But, that’s his choice.
Man, this guy has a collection to die for, and it's just sitting and rotting. Seeing all of these amazing and rare cars rotting into the ground legitimately makes me sad.
Dude said he wasn't a hoarder.....tons of great cars that hell never be able to get to and wont get rid of so they just waste away in the sun!!!! gotta love a motor head!
Dam, wish I lived closer to that guy. $500, for a old car to fix up, and drive around and enjoy. It doesn’t have to be a perfect to enjoy it. Even though they’re 4 door, wagons, and not popular models, still would be cool to drive.
Great job "Rick," let's watch a GTO Judge slowly rot into the ground.
he had two of them also.
God laughing at the gear heads on Earth. Put some of the greatest, fire-breathing beasts in this little man's yard to rot away, and never be for sale. By the time he kicks, that Judge will be dust.
Watching stuff like this is a love/hate kinda thing. I love seeing the cars but I know deep down there is no chance that they are all going to be brought back to life.
Bigmike17 totally agree... so frustrating seeing these gems just sitting there
There are places in america where they restrotrate cars they can take these cars to these places
"Hoarding is a behavior where people or animals accumulate food or other items."
IF SOMEONE is a hoarder . . . then he is the prototype!
One the other hand it's kind of sad seeing all those beautys rott away!
Yep let them rot instead of selling them to people who actually have a passion to see them fixed and on the road
Man I tell you this must have bn one of the saddest episodes I’ve seen,he’s a hoarder no two ways about it
I endorse this man and encourage anybody else to accumulate as much or more cool car collectables. This is what America is all about.
“I’ve never finished anything “. BINGO
Nor will he.
"I'm not a hoarder". Screw this guy hoarding all these cool cars
Old classic cars are never finished
"My house is where I keep the good stuff" Damn right he does! Congrats to him for gathering up some really amazing cars. One can only imagine all the stuff you didn't get to see. One things for sure, the estate auction when he passes is going to be epic!
He's a hoarder and I would venture to say the Judge is still sitting in the grass rotting away.. Just like the truck, he said "when we get around to it, but we move on to the next one".. Their all still there and when he dies someone, or the city will take them all away.. Such a shame.
Great stories. That part of Texas is full of cars. Rick has lots of very rare cars that took a long time to gather. I am sure he is capable. But the majority of them he will never restore. Not organized enough to crank them out. More to the point, he simply will not live long enough. He is the ultimate “one day I’ll get this one done” kind of guy.
That dude with The Judge ain't building / finishing any of those cars..
As far as the cars go - what a waste
And the guy / hoarder - what a knob.
Great video Tom, looking forward to Part 3
ENOUGH, ENOUGH ! THERE'S MORE THAN FIVE LIFETIMES HOARDED ON THAT PROPERTY !!
If I was to be a hoarder. I would hoard classic cars. “I’m not a hoarder” 😅😂🤣
Hahaha LOL this is the Mexican version of Jay Leno oh my God I'm dying I can't breathe
Nah. Jay Leno enjoys (and takes care of) what he has. This guy drives a plastic fantastic while he lets all of the cool stuff rot where no one gets to see it.
Another heartless fool letting beautiful cars rot away.
I'll never understand the mindset of a person like this.
Sell and save those cars!
Wak Job
Loves them
Yet hates them🤔
Thats because you dont have 40 cars
Don't try to understand him. He's a very sick man.
Wait... judge in the field and 76 corvette in the building 🤦🏾♂️
DezzysSpeedShop doesn’t make sense does it?
get 'em back on he road........where they belong !!!
Hey, the dude's a complete MONGO !!!! He can't help it !!!!
That GTO is just wasting away ! Jesus dude take care of that King of the Muscle Cars !
THANK YOU FOR LETTING THE GRASS WAIT - TO KOOL !!
Thats a bloody prison for those cars and all are wrongfully convicted to that fool
Without a full time staff there are not enough hours or days left to do what he says he's going to do. But, nothings for sale.
labrd41 only someone like Jay Leno could pull it off. Can’t imagine.
I can tell you now that Lubbock is a Mecca of Old rare cars... I have never seen so many in such a small town. Everyone’s Dads or uncles have some of the rarest cars just sitting under junk in their garages... it’s nutz 😳
It is so heartbreaking to see these people over and over again who don't see these rare vehicles as something to be preserved. It's all about hoarding and saying I got this, I got that .
To have that 69 black and gold camaro convertible packed away and never drove is insane!
Insanity ! doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results.... and never finishing any or really enjoying them or sharing w/ others.
True, but convertible muscle cars ain't that valuable, i guess real car guys don't really go after those..
Holy moley, Rick should start investing in pole barns to keep some of those rare cars out of the weather.
My uncle bought a brand new '69' Pontiac GTO (The Judge)..he and the car are gone now but he would never believe what that car would be worth today. Of course thats true for all of our old rides. Every car guy wishes he would have known then what he knows now!
That judge, trans am and camaro killed my soul seeing those just Rot
You haven't finished the car for 25 years.,, This lunatic going to ruin everything.
yeah yeah!
Ya
With all due respect, I have been working on a 72 Hurst Olds for 10 years, but I also am only using factory original equipment and replacement parts that are oem NOS, really hard to do.
better keep tabs on this guy cause the day he kicks the bucket his family is going to have a huge estate sale
my thought exactly
Probably but don't forget he got a son whose into camaros but doubting to go into restoration. Y'all start befriending him and his son before the bucket is kick out of him.
They will rust to the ground before that happens.
Yep,,I was thinking the same. In fact i'd say they already have plans for their share of the money.It'll be another Lambrecht.
Im good friends with this guy. Trust me his family isnt going to do that. They all have a home
I like fixing cars, and Iam a big fan of all cars fixing shows.
A common man demeanor is a rarity, opens closed doors.
As a young man, I enjoyed old peoples stories, I'm now a better man for it.
Rick os one of thoes guys that buys up all the cars and sits on them till he dies.. Keeps lots of the ones wanting to restore them from getting good cars. hes not an unkonwn person in town
"I'm not a hoarder"... let me show you my 3 garages with 25 cars each with a walking path through the middle
I've known a couple of "collectors" like this. They fixed up and worked on cars, trucks, bikes, anything with an engine. Had barns filled to rim with things you could just foam at the mouth over. Their problem was they got so busy buying and accumulating that any actual work took third or fourth seat and nothing ever got fixed anymore, simply rotted away.
$500 bucks complete with hub caps lol!
The walk through is like a run down version of Jay Lenos car collection.
Wow so much potential and that glorious Super Bird.
I do not know about anybody else, but this barn find Hunter was out-of-this-world crazy! That gentleman Rick has every man's car dream a hundred times over. I am literally flabbergasted. If you see this comment Rick all hail Rick from Texas you are amazing
Tom, this is one of those episodes we need to watch over and over. WOW. and he's not a hoarder..oh man..Thx for for bringing us along..👍🇧🇲🇧🇲
This is the best episode of em all.I have seen it 3 times already,and Rick really looks happy with all projects and cars everybody wants.
Having the hoard is what makes him interesting and gives him self worth. If he sold them his self worth would drop to zero many of us collectors feel that way.
I really like watching your episodes..I am very sad to see abandoned so beautiful and remarkably cars of the past..Well done to all of you to give life to some of them again..Continue the good work..Greetings from Greece ✌
This guy needs to have a chat with Dr. Phil. He needs some sense slapped into him. Lol
Man, hagerty has some of the best camera guys out there, shout out to their editing skills as well. Great work guys.
Lot of haters on here.
To each his own....This is what makes this man happy! He owns them all and can do what he wants, so why talk down about him?
Interesting collection for sure. I'm sure the Pickers would love his collectibles in the last building. I say "thanks" to this guy for letting the world see his collection.
this is my favorite episode. rick is the best
