    Have watched this channel for over a year now. I was never into classic or vintage cars but now i just go nuts for them. I don't think there are many people my age (16) that appreciate these cars but one day i will build a collection. Hopefully!

    I found a 1971 Buick GS Stage One 14 years ago and I didn’t finally get my hands on it till two months ago. It sat for a total of 38-40 years. I am currently rebuilding it on my channel. Unfortunately I was in rough shape and the previous owner butchered it but I am determined to but this Beauty back on the road

    as well as an obvious friend of the hobby, but these shows are yet another feather in your cap.

      Car collectors are everywhere. My uncle has several buildings full of cars, and he also collected every motor, transmission, and rear end from all the old muscle cars that he could get a hold of. My first car was a 1969 Chevy Impala 2dr. custom coupe with a 396 big block turbo 400 trans, and had the positrack rear end. I traded the motor, tranny, and rear end out of that car for another 1969 Impala red with a white vinyl top and the slotted mag wheels that had a 327 small block. He still has the 36 ford coupe hotrod he drove in high school. Corvettes and a 68 Camaro convertible basket case he restored from the ground up. His side business was upholstery so all his projects got brand new interiors. Seeing what he has collected over the years leads me to believe there are a whole lot of treasure troves of cars and parts sitting all over the US. Hagerty will have plenty more episodes to give us in the future.

      The fiberglass was cracked in the bumper was held on with wood screws but otherwise it was complete and clean but it always reminded me of a cheap suit.
      There was a 64-66 lime green Ford galaxie on Jacks...
      The clean dark green NB Miata...

    I don't know why I watch this. I just end up salivating. My favourite cars tend to go out the window a bit in this day and age because its simply appreciating an era of cars that we'll never see again & each in its own right becomes priceless due to the scarcity & difficulty to locate short of bucketloads of money. So yup, really I love this channel but so envious at times. I hate the idea of any of the cars they come across not being saved.

Most of them seemed to have kept well, it was hard to realize that some of them are between 40 and 60 years old. Thanks for a great video.

    The Porsche numbering/naming system is enough to drive you crazy. I think car models should have names and not just a few numbers. At any rate, that collection was awesome. Tom does it again.

      Me too, I had '59 190b Loved that car. Funky heater, had the engine rebuilt. Mine got totaled when a driver crossed the double yellow line. I walked away from that accident, they didn't fare so well.

    Cool cars. I think that Mercedes with the one badge on it was driven in Austria. North Tirol is in Austria and south Tirol is in Italy. I'm assuming the badge is an Austrian one.

      Miss my 84 and 92 GTi's.
      Restoring them, I would reweld the strut mounts, install big strut braces, urethane rear motor mounts, bigger vented brakes (rear discs in the 84), upgrade and protect the wiring, waterproof the fuse box, rewelf & strengthen the pedal box, upgrade the clutches, better headlights, install the fog lights (the mounts are factory, they were intended to have fog lights) and redo the exhausts (loved the rorty growly sounds).
      Oh, and keep the 84 black star wheels and 92 turbo wheels.

    I had a 1959 karmann cabriolet with removable hardtop you could order the hardtop or the cabriolet soft top. The soft-top had to be completely removed to mount the hardtop. There was also the permanently mounted welded on hardtop for the karmann coupe . If there are no top clamps for the windshield header it's a welded on top.

    The Body Manufacturers "Karman" from the Porsche 356 C was located in Osnabrück (Germany).
    They built f.e. the old beetle Convertible, Karman Ghia, Mercedes SLK, Chrysler Crossfire, VW Corrado...and a lot more. Couple years ago, they closed down.

    Porsche produced the 356 C in 1964 and 1965. I have a 1965. The base C motor was 75hp. The SC version was 95hp which is the engine used in the 912. The 365 C you were looking at was a sunroof coupe. The sunroof was in uncommon option that adds at least 10k to the value. The 912E you mentioned was built in 1976 only. It was a VW based fuel injected motor.
