What happened to the cell phone company sponsor ? Guess they were opportunists & not car peps that support car content.
Big fan from Europe ! Hello to everyone from the other side of ocean..
This came out great! It was fantastic to meet Tom Cottor and the Barnfind Hunter crew. Thanks for the opportunity.
That was a great episode Tom. Very interesting content and Hayden is the real barn find in this series. Not only his collection but his skills and humbleness in front of the camera. Great Find!
I'm in awe of people with this gentleman's knowledge skill & passion...incredible!
May you live long and prosper. You made this old man smile. And Tom; i already have enough Battery Tenders.
Thanks for the Tour Hayden. Your shop is huge. Cheers Tom. 🇨🇦
7:32 Buddies tattoo on his hand is perfect, that's an old car guy. Growing up, I hung out around guys like him and learned everything I know. Such a cool find.
Would not be opposed to seeing more episodes like this that explore and highlight unique shops and their builds.
I love the collection, super cool for sure. It does look like he started too many projects without finishing some first though, most of those will never be finished sadly.
For some people that's all the fun!
He has an impressive collection and some good stories. This was a fun episode.
Very impressive. That LS RS6 is mad. Love it.
That looks just like a whole warehouse full of fun and joy. thx
Wow ! Some guys just make stuff look easy, but we all know it's not... great collection and thanks for sharing 👍
From one Englishman to another, that's a cool collection Hayden 👍
Wow, I have no words for how much I want that Manta. Put on Euro front end and do a slight restomod with a C20LET and I will be a happy man... An original Steinmetz, just wow.... And please find another Manta to do the Hayabusa swap in. This should remain either a 1.9 to 2.4 CIH with Webers or converted to a C20XE or C20LET in my opinion since that widening are crazy rare. Put in an gauge set from the 1.9SR or get Dakota Digital to make modern gauges for it with a Recaro interior and this would be perfect... Such a cool car.
God bless and lots of love from Norway.
Amazingly ecclectic collection of fantastic cars - Hayden is a true enthusiast and could listen to him and Tom talk all day about the cars. Alot of what he was saying I understood, but there are so many interesting tangents that he and Tom lost me a few times. I also really enjoyed the story of his engagement - he is a romantic guy and a talented guy and I bet he and his wife connect on many levels. Thanks again for entertaining me with interesting people doing interesting things with cars!!!
The Opel Manta is a rare gem! 💯👌
That '64 truck is seriously cool. Like the patina. man that would be an amazing daily driver.
Tom I just opened my IPad to watch some videos and what do I find? A new episode of barn find hunters. Immediate click and another great episode. Thanks to you and Hayden for bringing this wonderful collection to us.
That Ford pickup is awesome, I could see that being a Kaido build, love the patina the whole thing looks great
This Gent is a true "Car Guy". The patina on the '64 Ford Pickup is amazing, what a great gift and he lucky to have a wife that is a car lover.
The 45 46 Ford could have been a bootlegger car. The car came from Etowah County Alabama from the license plates. This area was well known for bootlegging as I remember my uncle bootlegging when I was a child. It was the only job he ever had.
Making his way the only way he knew how?
I think it was a bootlegger car, but no way to know for sure.
Love the old school Audi content. What a guy
Interesting how he goes out of his way to tell us that he has to ignore the 3rd gen Camaro (looked like a race car anyways), but, then goes on to show a Shoebox Ford that only people like my father (66yrs old) would care about...
But, that Opel Manta was cool! the curves and styling, like a pocket size muscle car, love it! And the engine swapped Audi was awesome!
Awesome Opel Manta! I owned 3 at one time, beautiful cars.
Thanks for sharing Hagerty👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Special Thanks to Tom for all the Great work👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely amazing collection! Hoarding all the wagons my type of guy!
One mean sounding Audi. I had a 1946 that colon col I no longer have it. Surprised it has a Buick Nail head in it. Thanks for sharing your video! 💯👊👍💕
One thing to look for would be any suspension mods to carry extra weight. If so, then it was probably used as a moonshiner. Wild history, either way.
Good comment, and it does have heavy duty springs in the rear.
This is why I don't have a garage - I'd bring that '46 'shiner back here to NC & drive, drive, drive it....
I had an Austin Mini just like the one at 17:36. Kept it in London, England in the early '70s for when we visited my wife's family. With a three foot wide foam rubber pad and the seats tipped forward it would sleep two, we did some touring on the Continent. NOT an Autobahn car! It would be a fun car to have here in New Hampshire today. I wonder if Hayden is interested in selling it.
Man I wish I had the cash for that red Ford. I’m from Alabama and love classic cars! I have 1969 Ford F100 Ranger that I’ve brought back around to be a daily driver. I would love to do that with that car, it’s beautiful the way it is!
I use a Battery Tender that I bought reconditioned in the 90s from their booth at the motorcycle show in NYC. I ran over it once with my car and bent it all out of shape. Still works perfectly.
Wow! What a collection. And what a skilled craftsman. Amazing stuff, great find
I wouldn't change a thing on that 46 Ford just clean it it's beautiful
The Audi is insanity ! wow
My parents have a Barn Find collection of about 26 cars, but he isn't letting anyone get past his front gate.
From my mom's 68 911S Targa Softwindow to two incomplete Vikings - a 29 4 door and a 30 Roadster.
*Viking (1929-1931) was a sister to Oldsmobile as a higher end brand. Killed off with Oakland, Marquette, and LaSalle. 1931 Vikings existed only because of leftover parts from 1930 models.
I knew a guy who had a Viking.
He would haul it to car shows in a covered trailer.
However, he was in his late 80s in the early 2000s so, he's long passed.
Knowing his kids, they probably sold to the junkyard for $500. 😢
Love the shirt. “Carcaine” RIP Ken Block
If I had the funds and space, I'd love to get my hands on this '46 and build a sort of tribute to Fat Jack Robinson's Pro Street '46 Ford Coupe, featured on a 1985 Hot Rod Magazine article "Fat Attack". Fat Jack's was a 3-box coupe but this would still make a cool tribute.
this guy fuckin' rules, that RS6 is so cool. doing random builds like that are very awesome.
Great collection of cars and cool guy. You need to re-visit for that new find of his,Tom!
Guy is brilliant!
Hayden is a mad scientist! I'm not a tattoo guy, but that shift pattern hand tattoo is pretty cool.
Thanks :) I grew up in the UK so my left hand is a 'dogleg 1st' from one of my first cars there, and driving on the left. The right hand is 6 speed for driving here.
If that Manta A is a genuine wide body it should have a six cylinder CIH motor out of a Commodore…..worth a lot of money in Belgium/ Germany for historic rallying.
Mini for the win!
...and I'll have you know I'm not biased; they are just too cool.
I liked the 64 f100 best. I just sold one very similar. Wimbledon white, long bed, 292 y block, 4 speed, all original
This is a real "Car-guy." Guys like Leno, ralph Lipshitz, Harry from Harry's custom garage. They are all simply enthusiasts. A real car guy works on and modifies his cars.
A Steinmetz Opel Manta A in the Wilds? Now I´ve seen everything! That´s like the blue Mauritius for Opel Fans. A normal Person has no clue how Rare this is.
Tom, Great repisode!!!
Always great to see Tom
Tom, you have to remember that you will never get more for a car than what you ask for it. So start high and work your way down. When I sell a car I tell the potential buyer that I will not accept and more money than what I am asking for it.
The sound of the Audi.......what mean sound......I like it.... no... I love that sound......I hope I get to see it on the street......going fast.
That Audi RSS is insane!
Those hand tattoos says it all... !
u had me at the opel. throw an interior in that thing boom.
So cool. Great episode, Tom!
Another amazing video. Thanks Tom!
Id love to have that old ford with the nail head engine id leave it just how it is just make it mechanically sound🇺🇲
Just brilliant, thank you both 🙂
I know who I want to be when I grow up!!
Says that he sells stuff because he has too many projects - and then picks up a new project the next day. Classic. Just classic... 😁😁😁
We need an in-depth video on the rs6 please
He is going to be a very busy man.
“One night I got drunk” … opens hood on the RS6 to reveal an LS twin turbo swap.
Very nice bunch of cars ever made a great job❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome guy to hang with!!
What is that awesome accent he has
English guy who has been in the USA for a while is my guess.
Love that hes wearing a carcaine shirt
Just cool really cool , enthusiasm through and through
Dennis Collins would love to see that Healey. He has a RUclips channel. In Texas and has a Jeep dealership but also has a lot of Healey experience.
Barn find hunter, on a Thursday? Daddy likey
Wicked cool car dudes. ❤
Your videos are always thought-provoking and inspiring. Thank you for your creativity and passion!🍁🎮🍈
Bot
That must have two seconds of turbo lag! 😂
At 5K that 46 should go, am surprised he hasn't sold it yet.
Dennis collings love a healy
Ultra cool
352 matched the frames of the 65 66 ford's..thin cylinder walls rotted frames..sad .
Running moon shine.
Turbo lag must make this slow in real-world acceleration runs.
How much does a place like that cost to rent/buy? That would be really expensive here in the UK
Why do you have to cut up the avants it hurts. I wish the would have brought decent numbers in.
You are great, like my friends
Mini!
I wish they didn’t spoil so much of the video in the intro montage
Alright… about the Audi… it’s got to have some serious turbo lag, I would assume…
Nope, almost none. Remember its a 6.2L pushing a lot of exhaust out.
@@htmotorworks799 wow…! Yeah, I get the displacement thing, of course, but still the length of the car x2. Ok.
What was that building before.
What happened to the 65 mustang?
Where’s Jason? He makes this channel worth subscribing to!
Wish Hayden was my dad
How do I get in touch with this guy. My son has one of the quattro's and the free one may have parts he can use.
@@richardmosher3660 you can see he’s replying to messages here so you have his username/“handle”…
Cant see any cars in the video
...mmm and only 1000 years worth of work , until they might be all finished ....
Sad to see because none of thiss stuff will run again
Camaro! Bummer.
Avoid Facebook marketplace...
Why's that?
Why does he keep mispronouncing garage?
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Like this comment if you love grilled cheese
Do you deliver? 😂
I keep some in my backpack
Just cheese.....grilled?
What happened to cell phone sponsorship ??
Not actually car people type company like you said ,unless we buy their phone service since not sponsored anymore. Stick with car stuff sponsorship please.
