I mean apart from the '39 Chevy I'd say the other 2 cars he mentioned prices on are a bit much. I'd say the old Ford is worth 'round $2000 and the Chevy Rot wagon $500.

@@wmcbarker4155 to other people, a car is much more than just a car. It brings people back to a time and a place and makes people feel good and brings people together. And to think other people say, it's old junk. Sad.
Hey Tom and the CREW !!!! This is one of the best ways to START a new Decade !!!! You all ROCK !!!! I gotta get my 67 Impala ss reserected ! And this channel keeps the dream alive !!! Thanks
Tom, Thanks for the best way to start off a new year. My offer still stands.. I will wash all your cars for a ride along... Looking forward to a wonderful year and your finds...
Tom I’m a car enthusiast and I have a neighbor down by Galveston Texas, actually in San leon Texas, he’s an older man who quiet frankly has a hoarding addiction to many varieties of cars, from old MG models, Jaguars of all ages, Hudson’s, a packard, and studebakers! He’s a real welcoming guy especially if you have car knowledge and if you are ever in Texas he would be an awesome candidate to get some quality film history. I know it’s a long shot but I’ve been watching your barn find series for a very long time and I’d hate to pass on his collection even possibly having a chance to be unveiled by such an awesome and genuine car guru like yourself.
I know a guy in Cameron NC with a bunch of old cars he's owns a towing service. He's a real nice guy loves old cars and loves to rescue them and fix them
This is super cool! Watched probably 50 episodes of this the last few weeks and always thought it would be cool to see an episode close to home. This one was it! Came to my town of Wilmington and over into Brunswick county all in one episode, super cool!! Let me know next time you come I could probably point you towards a couple old cars!
I'm watching in 2022. Each episode stands on it's own and doesn't need any explanations. Ten years from now, this 2020 session will be just as enjoyable as the day it was up loaded.
This is an amazing series! The videography, the stories, the characters - outstanding! Also very interesting insights into American culture from my European perspective!
I Absolutely LOVE these videos. They are enlightening and depressing at the same time. The majority of the people say they are going to "fix them up" or want to sell them. ( If someone will do all the paper work) I can see a very high percentage of all the vehicles in all the videos just turning back to iron ore where they sit.
That's the typical aircooled VW owner 😂😂😂 Big guy, big beard and a beetle... But those are the vw owners I like most. I'd be interested in buying that beetle.
Awesome !!! I love the fact that you look at most everything. Most Hot Rodders walk right past beetles. They have there place. The vintage VW's are getting rather pricey !!! I'm a Chevy guy at heart !!! But love most vintage cars, trucks & bikes !!! Thank you for what you do.
Yeah, he loves that car so much, he has let the engine seize up, the tires go flat, and everything else basically rot away. I know lots of guys like him.
What years were your bugs? I had a '61, two sunroof '62's, a '63, and a '66. And my dad had a '60. My red '62 was my first car. And my other white '62 I decked out like Herbie, 53s, stripes and all.
If your looking for leads, my father has delivered for FedEx for 30 years and has seen every back yard and every road in the Charlotte area. He has the best eye for old cars I know. He surprised me with my first car when I turned 15. A 1977 trans am he found for 1000 bucks in someone's back yard.
@12:36 you're standing in front of a 29' Chris-Craft Catalina 291! Probably around a 1968 model year! I wish your photographer would have shown a bit more of the boats, but... you do "Barn-Find Cars" :) (I shared this video to a Chris-Craft Boat Group, on Facebook) :D
Tom, You are in my neck of the woods near Oak Island North Carolina. I go by that old junk yard almost every week didn't realize it had some of those neat cars
I drove a Marina Blue 67 SS Chevelle in high school. 1971 - 1973. Of all the cars I've had, I didn't let that one get away. It will be back on the road soon... And that was a 1960 Chevy in the video. My first car ever was a 60 2 door Biscayne...
I think it’s bout time you showed us your ‘barn’ . I saw a mustang but I know everyone would like to see your collection big or small. I know you’re a ford guy (sad) but still would like see❗️🇺🇸
When something breaks on a vehicle you are better off biting the bullet and repairing it, time and money allowing. It sitting more than 6 months, especially outside, the gremlins really take over. The costs multiply. Tom, this program rocks!!
I’ve got a 1953 Ford Customline Fordor that I was going to restore upon retirement. It’s not going to happen now. I’d sell it if there’s anyone interested. Original flathead V8 with manual trans with overdrive. Yes I have the title! No I’m not parting it out, wanting to find somebody who’s into restoration of vintage cars.
I drive my mint 69 sting ray coupe when knocking on doors looking for old cars,it always helps me get my foot in the door. Couple weeks ago i found a 1935 Husdson Terraplane coupe in a old building, the condition was amazing all original unbroken glass and all body parts, in the 60s it was a drag car
Anti mice contraption used by 4 generations of our family. 5 lbs coffee can or large juice can set on a larger dish pan. Like a steel pie pan . Don't use a flimsy aluminum cheap pie pans . Set a piece of plywood on the passenger floorboard because that has the most room and less likely to accidentally knock the can over.. Place steel pie on top of it . place the coffee can or large juice can in the pie pan open side up . before putting it in the car fill the can about 3 in and the bottom with diesel fuel . I like to use off road diesel which is same as fuel oil be used to burn in the furnaces because of the additional reddish color they put in it and as that color darkens it's a good indication that it's time to change the diesel fuel and put in fresh usually about 1 to 3 years in intervals. be careful when you set it in the pie pan. Leave the windows rolled up and the field mice stay out. The plywood is intended to keep the still pie pan from leaving rust stains. And it catches any accidental spills hopefully. Also a tall can is used to help prevent the pills. It acts as a chimney as well to let the odor and fumes of the diesel fuel out and Float around the car . that's it and air out for a couple of days no longer smell the diesel fuel when you're ready to do something with the car. I have a Dodge Charger perfect example I bought from the original owner somebody got into it took the diesel hand out and then Mouse just tore up the whole interior like nothing I've ever seen, cuz like they were getting revenge! We have used this on hundreds of cars and it has work . no guarantees in life. You can try the snake thing if you like parrot by the way my son uses this idea my grandfather would be 130 years old if he was still with us literally hundreds of cars over the years love the show and would like to find a really good Builder Volkswagen bug for my son floor pan and other typical rust are the major concerns.
my favorite car I ever had was a 54 Chevy sedan... miss it always. My dads favorite old car was a 1952 Oldsmobile with the special steering wheel with the Universe on it... so kool, loved it!
Tom, I made a trip on Amtrac in 85 From Medford, Or. home to Minn. Amtrac didn't follow main highway routes much, so lots of great cross country travel. I saw hundreds of old cars on farms, ranches, and in back yards of small towns across Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota. I always wanted to make it a round trip, and kinda map them all out some how, and drive back car hunting some day..It was on my bucket list, but I got to old to do it. Your channel makes me think you are the luckiest guy in the business .Happy Huntin'! and,Thanks, You Lucky !##@%!! You do a great job!!
Mate I drive around outback western Aussie looking for gold, you don't need to tell me drive something old. An original 1966 Holden does the trick here.
Thats a nice 66 beetle! I've been trying to find a first gen GMC safari van, but no luck. Friend had a silver one & sadly he had to sell it. Loved to drive that.
Living in the uk, it astonishes me how you guys have so much land that you don’t do anything with it but store either old cars or tons of junk. Only seriously rich individuals or farmers have that amount of land in the uk 😀🤷♂️
Love your videos Tom... if you should ever come to Washington you really need to check out Bergstrom's Antique and Classic Autos in Port Townsend. Robin's inventory is phenomenal, from cars to automobilia of all types.... It's an institution here!
with the '53 wagon, as the owner states it is a 'glide car it will have the 235 with hydraulic lifters (Blue Flame), not the 216. price is pretty fair even needing the floors (and very likely many under body supports) thanks for the excellent (as always) episode!
your channel is the best - thanks for doing this - it would never exist in australia no such thing as cars like these abandoned in yards forests - im not kidding that amc marlin coupe you found in a forest in one your videos is so rare there is no such car in australia and one matador only here for whole nation i never seen a bigger crime than that car sitting there and i can talk for weeks about your videos
@@michaeldavis6556 the side cover on a 216 is much longer (top to bottom) than a 235 and covers the spark plugs. It also has solid lifters. A 235's are hydraulic and the side cover begins below the head. The valve cover on a 216 have two bolts through the top of the cover while a 235 has screws all the way around the outside edge.
I had a '60 Chevy Biscayne 2-door, three on the tree 6-cyl when in high school and college. The exact same color as in this article. My dad sold it while I was in Vietnam in 1970 for $350 because it was just sitting at our house in Garden Grove CA (kept getting tickets to move it). I would love to get that car and restore it! So many great memories of drive-ins and beach trips in it. Please let me know if it's still available and the contact information (I never thought I would ever see one like it again). Great show Tom, keep them coming. I also have a 1953 Dual-Streak Pontiac Cheiftain that I am restoring.
I'd be interested in either of those Bugs - you just need some metric tools & a little love. And a 350-powered Mercedes? Oh yeah, that would draw attention at the golf course - esp. w/a 6-71 blower sticking through the hood..."Park this carefully, Jeeves! Mind the patina!" LOL
Hi Tom. We watch all your videos here in South Africa. When are you coming to visit us here. There are lots off hidden barn finds around. It will be great to host you.

The Chevelle guy just needs a weekend and a few friends and that car would be back driving. I liked the vw beetle guy, he was honest and friendly.
Its almost a rarity that a Collector wants to sell old cars *at a reasonable price.* Good on that man for "wanting to sell it all." 👍👍👍
more like a junk hoarder instead of collector
I mean apart from the '39 Chevy I'd say the other 2 cars he mentioned prices on are a bit much. I'd say the old Ford is worth 'round $2000 and the Chevy Rot wagon $500.

"So I put a snake in the car." Awesome.
Original organic pest control. Highly cost effective. Very few snakes are poisonous. If you like rodents, kill a snake.
Hey. He can guarantee this car has no critters to be found.
I find your encyclopedic knowledge of cars incredible. So many cars nowadays look alike. It's nice to see someone who really knows what's what!
The look on Tom's face when hearing the snake story, priceless!

Thanks for the best way to start off a new year.

It's made not provided. because we have freedom to made everything, commies!
I think there are more Jag sedan park than they’re running. EPIC
Old cars are part of the anthropology of the south, that patchwork of stories and people married to machine. I never get tired of watching this.
Tom you have made it a science . Good tips when hunting. Thanks

Take her for a ride to old car hunting and classic car auctions, might sparks her interest.

"I love this car"..... Car has a thick dust tan and hasn't been driven in years...
Sometimes just to see a car will give you smile on you face. You can walk around, seat inside. And life happens as well.
I bet you could get that car nearly back on the road in a weekend

Tom, you need to come back and visit us in AZ. You should have come to our Street Drags in Oct.
you should go visit the old bar where they filmed the barn scenes in Days of Thunder, it is by the YMCA in Mooresville, NC
Hey, thank you for the video, congrats reaching 1M subscribers
Hi Tom. We watch all your videos here in South Africa. When are you coming to visit us here. There are lots off hidden barn finds around. It will be great to host you.
Loved the snake story!
That last guy had a Rabbit Pickup I wouldn't mind having.
Big hug, of friend Marcos Polux Brasil, Happy new year, 🇱🇷🤜🤛
