1949 Cadillac 62 Convertible Barn Find

[@michaelknapp8961]

If I ever won the lottery, I would find a 1940s or 50s convertible and pay to have it 100% restored. I love these old beauties. Absolute work of art!

[@tootall5559]

You'd be better off buying one that's already restored. I guess somebody has to do it, but they're never worth what they cost to restore. A full 100% restoration on this could cost well over 100 thousand dollars, maybe closer to 200 K if you have to pay to have all the work done. That's a concours perfect restoration, though you could make it a nice driver for somewhat less.... depending just exactly what it needs. I say driver quality is actually better, trailer queens serve no real purpose.

[@PU8698]

​@@tootall5559If I won the lottery, it'd be more fun bringing one more of these cars back to life( nomatter the cost) rather than buy an already done example

[@willyboy6126]

Happy she got rescued! Thank you : )

[@sunamangs]

That's a well ventilated barn. Cool find.

[@jasonhatfield4747]

So much potential! Would love to see an update of this car if anyone has restored it yet

[@brianscott9861]

That is a dream car of mine!!!

[@ralvin9365]

Amazing condition considering... A testament to Cadillac I suppose. 69 years old, 40 almost in a virtual swamp. It's among the most beautiful and Botero-esque of model years.

[@richardcline1337]

Looking forward to updates on this old classic.

[@craigpennington1251]

Hope you guys are going to restore this. 1949 Model 62s are super cool and you have a convertible which is cool on cool. That place looks like a war zone in a way. Stuff everywhere.

[@brianscott9861]

Please restore this beautiful car!!!

[@francisdsouza9499]

I LOVE to work with people LIKE u I swear I was wish with u all now .

[@chieftp]

a new top and a good paint job and she'll be ready to hit the highway!

[@eleonorescheffer1871]

Wäre schön wenn man mal ein Update bekommt ...wie der Wagen so nach und nach aussieht. ❤Danke sehr

[@Schlipperschlopper]

This car is a very valuable treasure! Value several 100,000 Dollars if restored its a rare 49!!

[@dixieboy58]

Very rare ‘49 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible, WELL WORTH the restoration cost!!

[@FRDMLIBERTY]

NOW THAT'S A GREAT FIND!!!

[@carleavesceo709]

My father owned a '51 Sedan and a '72 Fleetwood Brougham. The '72 needs restoration.

[@decodebbie]

...Waiting for part 2.

[@jexsmx6608]

good luck with that one. it's going to take a lot to bring it back.

[@silviazanetti4240]

Isso restaurado vai ficar lindo! amo automóvel antigo.

[@nedkline886]

that should buff out to just like factory. when i was a kid i had a 51 caddie convert. man that was one hell of a car.

[@Val7511]

Sensacional !! ❤👍👏👏👏

[@brianscott9861]

I wasn't far from there when this was filmed

[@Grant7]

Nice...

[@texasamericanpatriot8535]

No way that car was sitting there for 40 years. So clean, looks like it was just pushed there 6 months ago. Clean tires, no dirt, been rubbed down with a pressure washer a month ago. That car was just put there just in time for some KZbin subscriber clicks!

[@peterterry398]

I think you're right

[@freeagent8604]

The list of true full classic cars has changed over the years, but, I recall that the '49 Cadillac was the very last full classic car ever made.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

It's going to need *everything*

[@thyslop1737]

Are you even going to be able to restore a wreck like that? And if so, at what cost?

[@steveturpin4242]

What a beauty! Careful with that chainsaw Eugene!

[@redradiodog]

That was a great find! That body looks solid.

[@iwantrisnawan713]

The beauty in the dirt

[@radmansa5514]

All I can ask is WHY WHY? Will one hoard cars and let them decay like that when you could have sold it to someone who would have cared for it. Funny thing is they always sell them after allowing years of rot and decay to settle in first. Can’t even say it’s from a car collection. Good work on Savin it, cool ride! 👍

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

It wasn't a classic when it was abandoned, just a worn out old car.

[@North49191]

car hoarders have mental issues.

[@lexpee]

I am amazed. I've seen it in more KZbin videos. unbelievable that, this is possible there in America? That you can just dump fine your car in the forest. If you do that here "NL" they will track you down. You get the bill for tow away the vehicle to the scrap yard. And you can count on a hefty ticket, probably also a call for the judge.

[@delboytrotter8806]

Not in a barn , but hey they're from the south. Can't wait for pt2 That's gonna cost a bundle to fix. Hope you got loads of mullah ......

[@ggjeff-spunkjunkpunk88oije99]

del trotts yes it is a barn find,Barn Find is just a term they use for vehicles that are found or located in or on a person's property

[@dondesnoo1771]

Had one once think was 200$ 1960 got rod knock junked needed top too.😎

[@alexbaker9967]

I want to see the restoration process and want updates on this Cadillac

[@iakovosvranikos894]

Wow! What a car! I think I know now what car it is, the one that sleeps under tthe Greek sun in my neighborhood.

[@anthonypirozzi837]

That's a late '49,it has perimeter valve cover bolts,the early '49 has center bolts

[@manoelluizteixeira8073]

too much! Demais. parabéns pela bela colheita. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS -Brasil.

[@valdemirfelix7090]

Raridade mesmo lindo Cadillac , queremos ver ele restaurado valeu

[@blah646]

I am a just a little confused, the colloquial term “ Barn Find “ has almost expired. It is often used as a catch all,but as I I clearly saw, this old caddy rag top came out of the bush, why not tell it like it is?

[@rodneyscott2108]

That’s an ole swamp lac😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@robsonaraujo1362]

A empreitada vai ser monstra 👍👍

[@blah646]

Excuse me, I watched your video very closely. Car clearly appeared to be out in the open, you had to cut trees around it, come on, how do you come up with “Barn Find?”

[@leecox1513]

"Barn find" is a catch-all phrase that covers anything that was previously put aside and left to get dusty, rusty and otherwise remain unused for a long time.

[@ThePponu]

There's some real potential that you hauled out of that jungle.

[@MAC-ws8fz]

Where can we see part 2?

[@originalvideoclip3415]

Nice work

[@daphneblake7889]

Didnt those things have hydraulic window mechanisms?

[@Moderatelydecentstuff]

Dozens of mice and a few raccoons are now homeless, hope your proud of yourself!

[@willyboy6126]

LOL :D

[@musicawb]

What happened to the 49 Cadillac 62 convertible? Did you restore it?

[@TheHorsebox2]

It's infuriating they didn't make a follow up video. An update would have been nice.

[@johnfranklin5277]

Theres no follow up, because the car was a total basket case that will never see the road again, and there isnt even any parts on it that are salvageable. That's what happens when you leave a car exposed to the elements in an area with lots of rain, for decades. I have my parents 58 CADILLAC they bought in 1960. Lifelong southern California car. No rust, nice, still driving it. And its expensive to keep her on the road. Spent about 14.000 dollars on the old girl over the last 10 years keeping her road worthy. She's doing good now.....lol

[@TheHorsebox2]

@@johnfranklin5277 That's because you're a true car enthusiast. People who leave old cars to rot rather than sell to someone who'll restore them sickening me.

[@minbannister3625]

that will cost twice as much as it 's worth to restore

[@patcholi3201]

ill buy it as is

[@thiagosobral4906]

Da hora Marília SP Brazil cambada

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Nice car, shocking how solid it is, of that was New York, would've left the chassis in the dirt

[@lestermiller2717]

Pontiac GrandPrix73 Ya to much toxic waste up north there it would of been eaten to pieces.

[@rocknsu800]

Pontiac GrandPrix73 what did they do with the cars in New York? Well we're I'm from in country Victoria Australia they are left in paddocks or completely destroyed from getting driven into random shit

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

I had a local guy where I worked in the late 70s , w a 71 Triple white Boat tail Riviera, gorgeous car, gangster whites and spokes, Disco days, so I grew up and wasn't around that area until, my cousins bought a building down the block from the guy, who went from a 38 yes old to a 68 yr old, same face, so I asked him, what ever happened to the car, he told me he was retiring soon, and he had the car stored away for like 25yrs, was I interested, well I couldn't say yes fast enough, he brings me down the block to this outdoor storage yd, and under a tarp, was my dream car, only when u pulled the tarp, chunks of white paint came w it, to the windshield that had hole in it, to the white interior that turned almost black, to the rear quarters that were part of the earth now from sinking into the dirt, to the basket spoke wheels that were rusted so bad, when the tow truck pulled it out of the hole, the spokes fell off, to the rear window of the boat tail, that u can now lift out of the body, to the floor boards that were gone, to that big beautiful 455 motor that had a animals residing in it, w only 66,000 mikes on the clock, that's what New York does to improperly stored vehicles

[@alexbaker9967]

Will there be any updates on this Cadillac

[@leebruce4697]

Soooooo what's it looking like now???

[@Mr05241948]

There isn't enough money in the world to restore an old wreck like that, unless you can do the WHOLE thing yourself.

[@francisdsouza9499]

I LOVE to discover n search may I be a apart off it

Where is the video on the 65 Lincoln Continental?

Prob not a barn find but maybe a woods find (if that even exists)

[@lestermiller2717]

Squid - ROBLOX and other odd stuff Bitch bitch bitch who cared he found a nice old care to rebuild.

[@ggjeff-spunkjunkpunk88oije99]

Barn Find doesn't necessarily mean found in a barn,it's just a term

[@blah646]

Extremely a shame that this Cadillac was not in a barn. Why did you call your presentation, “barn find” where it could have been forest, or jungle find?

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

That thing's rougher than a night in jail.

[@jeffmullinix7916]

I thought it might be rougher than a 4 am bar fly .

I just had one question was that an abandoned house and if it was who own the property and did you have permission to take the car. Because if you didn't that would be Grand theft Auto and the rightful owner came back for it he could reclaim that carit happened to me I bought a car paid $70,000 for Shelby only to give it back to find out it had been taken illegally
