1939 CHEVROLET BARN FIND & RESCUE

[@Onehellofaguy]

I just want to tell you, thank you for your willingness to share that you stopped smoking. You smoking 4 packs a day gave me the will to quit and it's been 37 days. I can't believe how much better I feel.

[@FrickinLaserBeam]

Good on you.

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

Awesome ...keep it up 👍

[@josephcarino5829]

I quit so i could get custody of my boy who was 2, it worked and hes 16 now with his first car. #NOSMOKES

[@howardkoster4026]

GREAT FOR YOU!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!

[@claycharmsFOREVER]

Fabulous!

[@robertwells1650]

Fantastic team work getting that out Jonathan! I am always amazed at how many old cars you find and rescue. I've been watching your older videos and my hat goes off to you. Thanks for keeping us viewers entertained and passing on your knowledge.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

It takes an excellent tow operator to get a car out of the situation, and an even better mechanic to get it running! Standing by.

[@williamdavidson9009]

Apparently Jonathan has winched a few cars onto a rollback!! That was tight.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Sir, my cats and I concur.

[@williamdavidson9009]

@@Jim-ie6uf That car needed a CAT scan.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

william davidson good one!

[@mauricelackey5324]

You know it's going to be a good recovery when it starts with a chain saw, LOL

[@donnyboyblue]

The first car I remember riding in as a kid was my dads 39 Chevrolet. When I was about 8 years old I would move the car around the farmyard stepping on the starter and peering through the steering wheel to see where I was going. If the car battery was too dead to start my dad would just crank it. Tough old car. Glad you will bring it back to life. Enjoy all your videos, thanks.

[@johnapel2856]

I remember the video where we first saw this and the other cars. I think it's great that you got them. Circumstances suck, but they will be saved. Thanks!

[@jtthill5475]

You are doing the world a service by saving these historical vehicles. Glad they are going to a good home. Vintage cars and trucks deserve more than being hidden away in a barn. Thanks for sharing

[@YOUGOTIT210]

My dad had a 47 chev. 2door and this 39 is somewhat similar. The 47 had the floor starter as well, but had a column swifter. GREAT FIND!!!

[@horshak1]

1st car I remember was my dads '48 chevy. I was the oldest so I got to ride in the front seat and wind the clock on the ride to school.

[@YOUGOTIT210]

@@horshak1 Memories! Thanks for sharing yours.

[@josephfine3394]

"Start 'er up; is the check engine light on, Johnny?" I knew you wouldn't forget about this solid '39 Chev! That's the best year for those old chevys, and you don't see the hump-backs anymore.

[@Dwayne7834]

Another one saved. And can be on the road one day. Thanks for sharing

[@buckeyejim2989]

Thanks for sharing JW. Dad had a Buick when he met mom... Looked so much like this Chevy. Step 1 complete, step 2 storage😎 Thanks again JW😎

[@iyaayas200]

thanks for showing all the rigging and recovery techniques you use. man I'd love to have that car

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Jonathan. WoW! Love those headlights and front end. Cant wait to hear it run. Thanks for taking us along.

[@allen2905]

I was on the edge of my seat when you were moving the '39 out and I'm not even there. you definitely know what you're doing. So excited for you JW. .

[@ronnielester2933]

Man I bet she was a beauty back in the day, black paint with red and white inter. Great save!

[@Paleoman52]

I really enjoyed watching how you got that car out of there. Well done! This one has some really good bones and should be purring like a kitten soon, I'll be watching!

[@Nudnik1]

nice find! i put a snatch block to double cable back to my rollback or a tree pulls twice as much force but slow. Love your channel!

[@robert4005]

That 39 Chevy is one of the best yet!

[@mikemullay5622]

This is a car well worth saving Jonathan. Good save. With your fabricating skills you will have the body and frame straightened out nicely. This is a project I am looking forward to watching if you decide to take it on.

[@asteverino8569]

Sorry about your friend passing. Good you could help the family and yourself too getting this ‘39. It is a juicy one. Take care, baa

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

That is a keeper. Can't wait for a first start. I hope you feeling and doing better. That was some fancy pulling.

[@HondariderLee]

Glad someone is saving these ole rides an doing something with them...

[@jaxtonjerry6685]

You probably dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother recently xD

[@colemanaugustine3376]

@Jaxton Jerry yea, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)

[@gryfandjane]

Lovely old car! Looking forward to the first start.

[@PCMenten]

Another classic car saved. Thank you.

[@darrenfarr4890]

This is a real solid beauty, cant wait to see this project from start to finish, under the the hood, the rear end damage, interior, etc. Don't leave us hanging on this one J W!

[@volktales7005]

My dad once owned this exact model: his Grandpa gave it to him after the back end got burnt up in a fire. Dad pulled the motor from it, and then dumped the remains over a cliff in the bush (as was common back then). Turns out the location is less than two miles from my house, and the car is still there over 65 years later! Hope you fix up that '39; one of my first model kits was a '39 coupe, and always loved the design. Looking forward to watching you drag those Corvairs from that barn too.

[@outcastprojects6733]

We waited two years to watch you drive it out of the barn!Here you go towin it home!Good video,Cant wait to here the thing fire up for the first time in decades!

[@jonathanw4942]

The plan was to drive it out. The owner passed away and now they are selling the land, so no time for wrenching in the barn with the snakes!!

[@garyashdown5376]

Being from the UK just love these cars there just not available over here at a sensible price. This is one repair I'm going to watch with great interest. Gary..... England 🇬🇧

[@tomkurtzhals7369]

I have been watching your videos for a while now and your content is top notch and just so dam interesting. I don't know how you don't have 7 million subscribers!? One of the best channels out there. The range of content is impressive, the honest and lack of drama style is very appreciated. But my favorite point is your real world, "I will do this as cheap as I can because I don't like the price of this or that and i can make it myself". I would give you a dream shop if i could just so you had more room for more old equipment to help build more awesome stuff. I wish idiot people wouldn't have opened their blowholes about your little drag car, thus turning your off on making videos on it. I was very interested in your build of that car. This kind of channel RIGHT HERE IS REALITY TV at its realest. Im a big pontiac guy and hoping you eventually build that trans am and also that 62 grandprix. You sir keep doing what you do.

[@MrDemonchild71]

I can't wait to see when this is going, I remember the first video you made with this in it. Really happy you finally got it

[@tomjones5860]

Nice car. Fiberglass go kart body looks cool too.

[@storyteller1749]

Thanks for sharing this barn find with us. That will be a great cruiser when its done. I would love to work on something like that. Can't wait to hear it start and see it when its done.

[@garyparker2969]

Definitely a Gem Worth Polishing n KEEPING !!!! God Bless All.

[@morgansword]

I remember you digging around and plans made to make it run and there was excitement in your voice. You don't lack for stuff to do, maybe put the spare tire on since thats its job and I know you will not chop the top and put bags with a LS engine crap when that 216 took many a passenger or at least the driver a good 72000 miles. I really doubt there is anything wrong with the oil unless you'ns got oil worms. It is a really solid car and it might take half as long to clean as it will take to fix. It's only old once then it takes on a new life. I wouldn't be afraid to do a interior restore and of course fix frame and rot outs but otherwise, its a driver. That blue was so pretty when new and since it was so dark in there, a lot of the paint may still exist. Good friends leaving something to remember him by.... I hope he ain't the guy that owned that big acreage that had a little of everything on it as he was getting up there. Good for you Jonathan

[@notajp]

Yeah, I thought this was the one he was planning on driving out of that barn someday. Sometimes things don’t go quite the way you plan tho...

[@henrydunbar397]

I also remember riding in the back seat of my folks 39 Chevy Master Deluxe. It brought me home from the hospital where I was born and they finally traded it in 1957 for something newer. I was 10 years old then and really wish I could have another ride before Im gone.

[@NebukedNezzer]

my grandfather and 2 of his brothers all had 38 chevy master deluxe with knee action. All 3 wore out the worm gear in the steering box and lost steering. this was before the reciprocating ball steering gear so check that it is not ready to loose steering.

[@daved7024]

Johnathan, Thanks for saving that old 39 Chevy. 👍👍🙂🙂

[@roberthanna4400]

I enjoy these videos !! That 1st start is almost like a baby being born!!! Keep em coming Johnathan!!

[@harley62t]

That Chevy is a jewel. I had a 36 Olds, an F36, 6 cylinder, trunk sedan like the Chevy. Pretty reliable car. Had a 24 hr, windup clock built into the rear view mirror, big ole tube radio with vibrator power supply and antenna under the running boards. Kinda miss the ole gal!

[@johnhansen4550]

Great original car...looking forward to your work on it... Great clean up project for Noah....

[@PapaJ5667]

All i can say is if you dont like these videos of old cars being rescued you have issues and bless your hearts ....keep up the good work Jonathan look forward to each video

[@JamesAllmond]

Always loved that body style, no idea why. Good save!

[@ceedell]

Always a pleasure to watch you become one with your equipment and winch these out of difficult places.

[@condeerogers5858]

Jonathan, in 1964, or 65, my brother bought a 39 Chevy just like yours that someone had already fixed up to almost perfect condition. You got a real find there, brother. I will be looking forward to seeing you get that one fixed up. Bye!

[@jimdavis2848]

I’m glad your gettin them cars an I’m sure the man that past away is happy you got them to. He loved them cars like you an a lot of us , god bless ya brother... big jim

[@Home4Variety]

Beautiful car, as a whole! Can't beat a classic like that, or any vehicle of this age! Great find! Side note, I have metal model (not sure of the scale, off the bat) of a 1940's Chevrolet Flatbed truck! Awesome video!

What a cracking car, it was amazing how you got that car out sir. All the best from UK .......................bye🔨🇬🇧

[@Jdflana1]

Jonathan you treat that car nice my first car was a 39 Sports Sedan. When I turned 16 in 1956 a farmer down the road had a car he had bought new 64,000 miles looked and drove new I paid $125 for it and drove it till Uncle called.

[@tombob671]

1965, Tulsa Ok, I worked sacking groceries with a guy that had one exactly like this one. He got it from his granny, she and grandpa bought it new. It was cherry and had about 30k on the clock. He shined it with linseed oil. Very nice old car. I hope he kept it. Ran smooth like a singer sewing machine

[@supersportrsz28]

Awesome, thanks for sharing

[@freddiebates5539]

I'm glad to see that you have finally got to get in the Honey hole, I hope you get all of the cars of the barn, keep on saving them Jonathan.

[@marcosmarcao8234]

Beautiful classic s Big hug from friend Marcos Polux Brasil 🇱🇷🤜🤛

[@ImpalamansGarage]

Really Nice find. I love complete cars with all original parts.

[@heyoldman2003]

What fun !! Thank you for taking us along ...it even has all the hubcaps 👍🏼. Your doing good man 😎

[@Seazer009]

What a nice ole Chevy no doubt you will have it on the road soon Jonathan. The ole Cat is just looking for a Mouse probably or maybe surveying the damage to the rear of the car.. Good luck with your new project..

[@briangerring1095]

Cool you finally got that chev , remember the vid of you looking at it some time ago , solid ole beast .cant wait for the first start vid .

[@randypurtteman1183]

I love your old style military snatch block. They are so much easier to use. I personally prefer them to the screw in type but they are as hard as the Dickens to find in good condition.

[@photoshopman1972]

Cool barn find! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@johnyesko9006]

Thanks Jon. Cool stuff. Cool stuff.

[@doogals]

Oh...a '39 two-door. I think I'm in love! I can't wait for this project!!

[@johnmccormick175]

Nice old car!...amazing how some of the tires are still up ...looking forward to see what you do with this car...love your videos!

[@eugenepolan1750]

All those hoours and hours of practice with wrecks alongside the highways has paid off at last - you really know how to work the angles of winching a car up onto your truck!

[@joedyer8824]

Hey Jonathan that back will straighten right up that is a straight up nice car. Nice part about the old steel it can be pulled and brought right back cool car

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Johnathan W.. 👍👌👏 Oh WOW, another fantastic car out of this source. Looks extremely impressive (especially the front). Maybe this is a car that should be restored and painted (in memory of your friend)? Shiny black outside with red interior would look gorgeous. Please kindly allow me to ask again: O.K. you got this new car car inspectir but no Noah any more? Thanks in advance for answering. Again and as always: Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck health and wisdom.

[@jewishman2687]

[@pappabob29]

39 Chevies are a pretty classic design. The rear wheels in those old Chevies were not centered in the wheel openings by about 1 1/4". Wonder why they decided to do that??? Anxious to hear this one run !!

You save another one.good job. Thanks
