Yeah, at least he's honest about it!! Most people just lie & say yep I'm gonna restore them all, instead the junk man drags them away when the owner dies.
@@rogergoodman8665 I chased a car for about 20 years, is it in a garage with no doors on it, you could see it from the road and it was covered with dust you couldn't even see in the glass the dust was so thick. I stopped in a few times he wouldn't sell he said he was leaving it to his grandson. A few months ago I was on RUclips and a video comes up, it was that car,! I made a few phone calls and found out that he had passed away and the grandson sold the car. Pretty much dirt cheap from what I understand. And considering they only made 161 of these vehicles I was so sick to my stomach. But I knew it would happen!
@@davedave2882 yeah there was an old guy out here in Gloucester Virginia that had a red '71 Duster 340 just rotting away in his front yard since the mid 80s. And it was loaded with all the factory goodies the dual hood scoops..... Rear spoiler.... everything! It was a really complete car, and relatively solid. And the dude would never ever sell it. 🤦♀️ Well he died a couple years ago and all of the cars he had in his yard got towed away and I have no idea what happened to the Duster. I can only hope that whatever towing company got a hold of it knew what it was and didn't send it to the crusher. It's just fucking sad 🤦♀️
I tried to buy a 1965 Skylark GranSport from a widower. She refused, I came by many times offering her a bit more each time. It had been sitting outside for 10 years. I found out a few months later she sold it to a salvage yard. I think some people who will never restore their car don't want someone else to restore it either. It's the "If I can't have it, nobody can" attitude.
Wow! what a collection we were lucky enough to see, Tom. I never knew that Ford sold their little 300E vans in the US. In the UK, their commercial vehicles were branded as 'Thames', not Ford. The factory at Dagenham was on the north bank of the River Thames, hence the name. The bezels on the front are a bit posh for the van - probably came from an Anglia or Prefect car. I guess it had a bit more power than the original 1172cc side valve engine! Thanks for this and all the other videos.
I know these guys will never sell their cars but just imagine what they could have if they were willing to sell some cars to pay for restoration of other cars. Dude's got 80 cars, if he sold 50 of them could easily pay for full restorations of at least 10.
Some folks just like to see them saved. Can't blame them for thinking that way. But I agree. I would rather have a vehicle that runs and drives and I can enjoy, than have 80 cars that I can look at like they are museum pieces.
Back in the late 70s my dad had a used car lot. He had a 65 Dart that he was going to repaint. Had it all sanded down. A old fellow wanted to buy it, but dad said he had to paint it first. The ol guy said he would paint it himself, so dad sold it to him. He never did paint it. The car turned brown with surface rust.
Love the show as usual Tom! Hard to believe that's the first *Certicard* you've ever run across... Around here in TN, folks is just folks. We're kinda wary of strangers, but if you're on the up and up, we'll welcome you right on in eventually. - Ed on the Ridge
Really exciting to see this collection! Thanks for sharing. Grew up with three brothers and a dad who were/are into cars. So grateful it rubbed off on me! Brings me lots of joy to see these classics.
I wonder what frame would fit a 1865 Ford Mustang Convertible. I'm 62 yrs old and I remember buying old cars like these all the time for 100-200 dollars.
Just thinking earlier 'Wonder when Barn Find Hunter will air again' and here it is. As per love the vids guys. Tom your a legend and inspiration to myself and many others
GREAT FIND!! I want a few of them, me and his Dad are around the same age. We grew up in a great time on history for so many reasons. These were daily drivers for us, drags on Sunday and cruising main street most every night of the week.
One of the reasons why cars from the early1980's to early 1990's haven't very popular is because of the electronic engine controls and sensor problems can be a pain to diagnose and fix. And being mostly electronic problems the only thing you can do is replace the item and junkyard parts are as problematic as what your trying to replace because you don't know if that one's good as well. I had a 1985 Corvette that I fought the battle with and some of the electronic parts were a one year only item and hard to find. Sometimes its just a bad connection inside the wiring loom and if you've ever taken a C4 Corvette dash apart to trace down a connection you know what a pain it is to do.
My Aunt had an early model square body Bravada which was meant to be a "luxury SUV" at the time so it was choc full of electronics and trust me there's a reason you don't see those things on the road anymore lol. I own a 94 f150 and it has EFI but it mostly does fine so IDK, it does have the 300 in it so maybe that's it. Something about adding lumbar supports and heated seats in that era just doomed the vehicle I guess.
I was in high school, 1971, and a good friend had a Torino. Kept it looking new. I saw him once after he joined the Marines. He planned on keeping the Torino tor good. Hope he did.
Ive seen most of these barn find videos. It still kind of baffles me about how proud these guys are that they let cars rot and refuse to sell them. I bet someone would kill to have that black 57 for a resto project.
Mopars came with that card under the hood for the dealer to run an imprint of it on the invoice to be a part of the maintenance records of the car. We had a '66 Newport that had one and it stayed with the car fo life.
Man! I used to drive all over that county and surrounding areas in the army in 16-17. Hadn’t seen that place! Sure wish I had. Upchurch’s stomping grounds. Good people. Good area. Miss old fort campbell and the drives.
Man thus young gentleman lifes in Cheatham County!!! That's one incredible place to grow up in... Ryan Upchurch's home town!!! I feel I kniw this place through his song's!!! Truly wondering if he's meet him! I'm from Canada, but dream of visiting Cheatham sometime soon ❤️
Every time I watch one of these episodes I have to be sure there is a napkin near to my chin to catch the drool. A 1955 Chevy delivery, yes please. Even rusted to the ground, that's a thing of beauty.
I chucked when Tom said he never seen a Mopar identacard when earlier he mentioned viewers noticed he doesn't feature mopars. Those cards are on all mopars for many years. Thanks for the road trip Tom. Cheers 🇨🇦
That card you found under the hood of that Dodge usually has the original owners name and address stamped into it. It's basically Chrysler's version of GM's "Protect-O-Plate".
My Dad built a convertible version of this car, minus the aluminum front end, with all factory parts back in '63. I was brought home in that car from the hospital as a newborn. Funny thing was, my 5 ft tall Mom "took" the car and gave her Volvo to my Dad to drive to work everyday. There's a family story that goes, my Dad and my uncle are at a light in my uncles Corvette and they see my Mom square off with a guy on the other side of the light in the opposite direction. My Mom gated the guy and powershifted 2nd. My Dad said he had never been so proud. 🤣🤣
Let em rot! People own these cars and don’t have the money to restore them but hang on to the thinking they will one day. See it all the time. By the the time they get in someone’s hands they need a lot more work or are a lost cause. That’s how it goes.
It's a reflection of their personal lives. Junky yard, junky woods, junky sheds, junky houses. And talking like they have gold parked everywhere. No. You have rotting junk parked everywhere which nature is consuming way faster than they are restoring.
Me either. Makes me sick to see cars that were once pretty and new left to sink back in the ground. One man’s treasure is another man’s junk, or is it the other way around?
@@ellieprice363 Cars have almost always without exception been a depreciating asset. They take money money money money to maintain, just to make them last much longer. To preserve them for 50-60-70 years it takes even MORE money. At some point, memories are better than iron. Let them sink. Create lasting and valuable memories tied to an era in some other way. Ultimately, the horseless-carriage was meant to be ridden/driven. It's done its job, it can get recycled.
@@exothermal.sprocket I agree. Unless they can be protected from weather and kept in running condition let them be scrapped. The owner of these rusting hulks reminds me of a man I once knew who bought 5 gallons of printers ink for $.50. He just couldn’t resist a bargain like that.
wish you guys would come down to San Antonio Texas(Seguin) and walk through John's Salvage Co. There are a few videos here on youtube. Place is huge. My parents live 5 minutes down the road. Its nice to just walk through and explore now and then. Roughly 2000 cars, alot complete alot more not. He has another stash of maybe 20 cars at his house. I bought a 66 coupe deville from that stash.
The thing about restoring old cars is one day you’re 24 years old and with the bat of your eye you’re 64. There’s never enough time. I’m 64 and its happened to me. Great video. Thanks.
Blows my mind these cars are out there. That Comet & Torino & Duster are very sought after. List all these cars on Hemmings at the right price and your phone would blow up. $$$$$. Anyway still very entertaining to watch thank you. Love Hagerty.
Wellwell, at 5.30, the '55 gasser, Chevrolet Bell air..... looks strait from the roadmovie "Two lane Blacktop" I know there are made copies of it.... could be this one, could be THE ONE...
Hi! There was a Ford pickup truck you walked pased…. Absolutely love those shapes. What is it called, what year, does it run? Also a price ? Thanks a lot
"yeah we wanna restore'em.....buuuut we won't" ... freakin love this guy - most honest car hoarder on this show yet.

Sometimes the most inconspicuous places have the rare gems hidden away! Love to see them come to light!

That's bullsh1t, it's still called 'FORD' in the uk, d1psh1t
He seems like a great guy. Doesn’t ask stupid prices, very fair, the first guy.
Always waiting to see what comes next , Hagerty puts a smile on my face
That young man is a piece of America. Thanks for showing his cars.

dude right. "ill get around to it" yeah when half of them rot into the ground?
a good portion of those cars aren't worth very much due to their state
Some folks just like to see them saved. Can't blame them for thinking that way. But I agree. I would rather have a vehicle that runs and drives and I can enjoy, than have 80 cars that I can look at like they are museum pieces.
@@leechburglights most of them aren't even nice to look at
Bingo
That is a super likable guy. Just buy em and drive em. Saved a lot of cars from going to scrap. Looks like a family actually living each day!

THIS IS AWESOME! LOVE THIS SHOW. WISH THE EPISODES WERE LONGER. WISH THEY TOLD US WHAT THESE PEOPLE DO TO BUY ALL THESE CARS.
How do you find these guys?! What stars! Hollywood couldn't possibly improve on these characters. Great stuff!
You really rock 🎸 Tom
Love the show as usual Tom!
Hard to believe that's the first *Certicard* you've ever run across...

The oldies would love this
Classic car heaven
I have a 1966 Dodge Charger 383-4 and when my wife bought it for my 50th birthday it came with the original Cert card in its pocket.
The tubbed Anglia with the 350... Yesssss please!!! 🖤🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Wow. That last guy is a very lucky dude ....sittin on lots of OG badass cars. Very cool 💪💪
Oh man that yard full of the best mix of vehicles.
sad to see those old cars rust away.
I wonder what frame would fit a 1865 Ford Mustang Convertible. I'm 62 yrs old and I remember buying old cars like these all the time for 100-200 dollars.
Love the Tri-Five Chevys! Beautiful cars
Wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard, "we are gonna fix it or buld it some day". Then they just sit and rot.
Yeah. I never I stood that. I thinking that it’s the hoarding gene.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 For Sure
Well since they're the owners and bought the cars with their money it’s up to them. I just try and enjoy the show.
@@rory693 I agree
He said it would never happen, so keep ur worthless dollar. hahahaha

Awesome video Tom
That Woody is great ice breaker...
"If they see a snow flake in Kansas there salting".......About lost my coffee on that one.....sounds like Virginia.
his delivery of that line was brilliant haha :)
He has the greatest way of speaking
seems like a legit person who loves cars. would love to have a few items like these as well.
Thank you for sharing with me

Chrysler Slant 6 is called “leaning tower of power”! Australia has a hemi 6.
Gold mines are all over if you just tale time to ride and look. Awesome
Man I sure would like to have that Fairlane
The Torino?
That's a pretty good find Tom! Thanks for the video
Thank you, I really dig your show!
Nice stuff in the rough!
What a great guy A J is.
Great show but I was really hoping you were going to ask him about the black and white Duster, it had a great color combo.
The BMW needs to go to scrap, you should encourage this lol
Very good. Enjoyed that.👍
Nice Collection Tom.

That wasn't bad at all 👍thank u.
Dylan McCool has his eye on that RS
11:59 - probably still the coolest people in Cheetham (spelling?) County
This is Ron. I sure would like to have that yellow Henry back. I got a nice front motor dragster we could work on some kind of trade.
Had that problem with a similar year BMW a solenoid fixed it, just a heads up!

Bill was just tickled!
Great episode Tom
Great show I’ll take either of the Dusters
I grew up in Buffalo. The MOPARs rusted to pieces. You could life the panels off whole with the rust that would go around the welds and bends.
Open the hood on that R.Rover!
In my neck of the woods!
9:20 wait... you didn't know what a chrysler cert card was??? i don't really even like mopar, but even i knew that... they ALL had them...

No aluminium heads for slant 6, but they did have aluminium blocks.

Come to Connecticut I know of a fantastic amc/hudson collection of cars
Iroc camars were junk .... But the 5.0 mustang was a strong well built platform
An e36 beemer in the BFH? Why?
Don’t forget the upside down oil filter on the Slant 6.
Than 2nd Henry J was last tagged in the late 1980's, or 1990's; Missouri switched license plate colors in 1998, to a Blue/White color combination.
Always loved the Duster, very underrated till lately.
This show should be called Haggerty Hoarders😂
I would be very interested in the duster
One of my favorite sars of all time
