Thanks to everyone for the positive comments. Sadly, another obligation that I had to address popped up the same morning. This cut into the time we had to do this video. We did the best we could to cover all of this history! We've been slammed on numerous projects and haven't been putting out the content we should. That said feel free to follow us and I'll do my best to answer any questions!
When will the collection be open to the public again?
You guys are local to me, I live out in Roxboro. I follow y'all on facebook. I can't wait for yall to open to the public again, I remember seeing a post that you all were making some updates.
Very cool collection, love the signs!
Thx so much for even this!
Beautiful collection! Not to mention incredibly knowledgeable in regards to the cars in there collection. His father Herb was a hell of a driver!
I got pictures of the Mr 4 Speed Dart last summer at the AACA Museum in Hershey PA. It was my favorite car in the place. I live 7 miles from there. Glad l got a chance to get up close to it. You can tell how proud of his dad he is. Awesome collection of Mopars!
Now that is a great collection. Thank you.
A nother home run. Great job as usual. Thanks for the great content.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL Collection!! I was Born and Raised a MOPAR MAN and love Everything he has!! 👍💯♥️♥️♥️🇺🇲
What a truly incredible collection of the most beautiful cars and other stuff 👍👍🇦🇺
I had a 1955 Dodge Royal Lancer with the Red Ram HEMI. In 1966, I bought a Dodge Coronet 500 with the 426 HEMI. And, when Chrysler came out with the 300 with the 5.7, I bought one. Love this collection, thank you for sharing.
MOPAR TO YA! 👍
Just owning those '70's pro stocks, would be a dream.
Herb is quite the guy, it was a pleasure to do business with him!
23 👍's up BB Find's thank you for sharing 🤗

Wonderful video! Thanks! Just incredible...
OUTSTANDING VIDEO. ! WELL DONE. ! 🇺🇸🏆🏁
MOPAR OR
NO CAR!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have been watching this amazing young man assemble this amazing collection over the last few years! I too love 50s Mopars and I plan to see this museum some day. Thanks BarnFind.
That's a great video, and such gorgeous cars - most my age! Ah yes, it was a "Golden Era"! 😅
The Best! PERIOD!
That is a awesome collection I have been a Mopar fan since the day I was born since that's all my family ever had and my grandfather worked for Chrysler Canada anyway those 300 letter cars are my favorites but the Desoto black and gold car is a real beauty and I am not a big convertible guy but that car is sexy as heck.
Your a cool guy. So much good stuff. WILL VISIT SOMEDAY
Very very cool museum, goes without saying. I love the lights, the colours, the layout, the neon. And the cars literally speak for themselves. Only in America. Greetings from England, i hope you are keeping safe over there.
Wonderful Vid..Will watch it again..🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻..!!
Complete awesome sauce❤thank you for another amazing video 📹 ❤️
Very nice visit and great video ✔️👍
really neat collection. Not very often you see these vehicles at all. It’s amazing Chrysler was able to make any money in the late 50’s early 60’s.
DeSoto and Plymouth are my favorite Mopar brands
Thank you for doing This
A wonderful little hobby. Looks like they are starting out pretty nicely.
Great content keep it up Thanks
Wow, that was simply amazing. Great stuff.
Thanks for taking the time/expense to highlight collections like this one - inspiring. Bold.
Great video, I've never heard of Herb. My "300" was a 1966 model with a 383, I drove it daily in the mid 90's. Jack Benny had a Maxwell.
It was cool to see the dart.I painted it for Randy Hopkins back when he first restored it.
That was super cool.
10:15 those junior cars on 2nd row were made by Powercar Co. in Mystic CT from '54 to '67. (I moved to Mystic in '66 as a kid but didn't even know that place existed dang it!) I see them sometimes at the Mopar show @Woodley Park here in LA as a now long time left coast resident. 🎸
Great journey
Great collection, I was at lakeland drag strip the first time Herb broke 10 seconds in super stock
Awesome!
Wow 😃👏👍👍
I so appreciate you and your father. I have a 67Plymouth belvedere II and love it, 3rd owner. I wish I could afford a better engine but still have the original 318 in the car, and all interior is all original.
I'd be like a" kid in a candy store" if I was in that building...!!!! What a collection..!!!
Very cool!!!!!
Nice episode. After driving 69 caprice 396 and now a 72 firebird formula 400. I'm also on the hunt for a mopar. 💪
That was cool
Thank you for sharing with us young man. I had never heard of this collection, so I did some research and found that it is only about an hour from my house over here outside of Winston-Salem. Think I’ll swing by for an in person-visit. 😁👊
Herbs family collection is so impressive. I have seen a lot of it being a sox and martin fan sinse i was 16. I started racing at 16 in 1976. Ronny, buddy, dick and herb were my inspiration and mentors
That was Amazing, I have already reached out on how to find the documentary on Mr 4 Speed.
Great job! When I see maxwell I think Jack Benny poor rodchester have to drive him around in it 😊
In high school I owned a 69 Pontiac GTO Judge. Every Wednesday night was grudge night at the local drag way. I knew as soon as I saw that red Road Runner with the hemi show up my time was over.
I'm not pigeon holed by brand. Great job on the video
That 413 reminded me immediately of “Nicks Garage” RUclips channel. He got one of those on a dyno that he restored for a customer that drives that engine. On a dyno, you heard me, check out Nick he’s from Laval Quebec
🏆🍀So Sick😄✌️
Would’ve liked to have heard a little more about the technical aspects of these cars as opposed to who had what, I was particularly interested in the 1957 Dodge, which he skipped over, but it was still a good video, just seeing all the old Mopar metal in one place. 👍
The 57 is a D501, factory built race car. Was originally owned by Arnie Beswick, then went to Lee Smith who I bought it from a few years ago. It's the most original and intact version that exists. Less than 10 exist at this point. Factory 3 speed manual, terrible transmission that sadly wasn't strong enough for most racers, making it an unsuccessful program.
@@mccandlessantiqueauto6509 My dad in 1957 bought 2 new cars, a 1957 Thunderbird, 312, with 2x4’s and a 3 speed standard, and for the family a 1957 Dodge Sierra Custom station wagon, not sure what engine was in it, but it also had 2x4’s, and the short of it is, the wagon would put that bird in the dust everytime! LOL I know it sounds a bit like a fairy tale, but it’s absolutely true, that land yacht was very quick for being so big. That car started me down a path that I still follow at 75 years old. I’m just finishing a frame off restoration on a 1972 W-30 Olds 442 that I ordered brand new in 1972. I’ve restored and owned more muscle cars than I can honestly remember without writing them down, and I always forget a few. I really enjoy this channel. Thank you for taking the time to get back to me, your collection is very impressive! 👍I just remembered, I don’t know if you are looking for any rare pieces, but if you go on marketplace in NY there’s a 413, with what I believe is the long tube cross ram on it complete, carbs, and air cleaners, the complete engine. There’s also a 440 on there which has a early cross ram on it, but that’s not the one I’m talking about.
Yeee Yeee !
He's a Lucky boy .
Very cool! Where is this place?
what a beautiful amazing display!!! Love the signs!!! I bought a Red 70' Barracuda back in 72" for $1,500. Unfortunately my Baby rusted out in my central New York winters by 1976.
I heard that a competitor of Herb McCandless, the late John Hagen, has his car back in the possession of his son's, David and Mike.
Great tour. What a mountain of knowledge he is. What town is it in?
Burlington, NC
Yeah I have seen the documentary on Herb McCandless about a dozen times and it is a must watch documentary it talks about how he started racing getting his "Mr 4 speed" name and then joining the Sox and Martin race team. Here is a link to that documentary there are more then one part but this is the Part 1 link ruclips.net/video/JwiZKEJK4O8/видео.html
Wasn’t the duster originally a pitts car
I'm about to rain on his parade: The cargo floor of that stake bed truck has the same load height as a semi trailer. That 300D was loaded onto that truck by driving it straight on, and then straight off again from a warehouse loading bay.
No magic required.
Where is the dock height trailer at the bonneville salt flats?
@@mccandlessantiqueauto6509 Probably transferred to a conventional drive-on trailer in Salt Lake City for the final approach. Usually, the easiest solution is the answer.
Mopar meca
Did not Maxwell become Plymouth?
You have to go back, you skipped the 57 Dodge.

All those cars and you distracted your host with signs. Just as you got to the D501 1957 Dodge. Really disappointed. If you ever get a chance to do that car please do.
Mopar/ Chrysler build quality was terrible I owned a few back in my day
There was only ONE MR. FOUR SPEED AND IT WAS Grumpy Bill Jenkins.
In drag racing circles it was Herb who earned that nickname .
I live in Burlington and had never heard of this museum until you mentioned it in a previous video really wanted to go but it’s been closed for a little bit, please tell him to open the doors back up!
