Sitting at his desk with that building falling down around him, it looks like that old guy lost his mind back in the fifties

If they loved the cars why didn't they take better care of them.

Same reason they didnt prune the showroom. Hillbillys.

[@perceptionmatters7082]

They talk all the time about how things like this are survivors, because they survived scrap yards and destruction. This....this video explains why these vehicles are actually dying. Owners that hold onto a memory. At the cost of the actual thing that created the memory. Expecting someone else will pay them, in excess, for making the job of saving them even harder than before. Its sad...very sad.

[@pottingsoil]

Because they're crazy people.

[@mastadon5344]

My thought exactly

[@davandstudios]

I hate these people that call themselves "car guys" Who would rather see it rot then sell it to someone who would restore it.

[@gd3369]

well i think anyone that love cars could consider themselves a "car guy" to an extent ... i understand where you're coming from ... i think they know what they have and they are sitting on their hands till the right buyer comes alone ... but to have it in the open to the car can rust and get swallowed up by the elements is CRAZY in my opinion ...

[@thatguy1909]

If you can't do the work yourself then you aren't a car guy. You are just someone who pays someone else to do the work.

[@BA-pz3lo]

but the guy you sell it to isnt gonna restore it either. he says “oh yeah im gonna fix it one day”

[@ytown4]

Yes, it is unreasonable. Hoarders, those cars will just rust away until they're both dead.

[@CarbiesChronicles]

yup, then the next generation will be smart and sell them off...

[@paulchemaly2]

They treat them like junk until someone is interested... Then it is a ridiculous high price they ask for.

[@francinelapensee9646]

Yup, they saw rich famous guys coming a mile away and prepped their price and game..TV and all 😂

[@projectdriven4493]

I live 10 minutes from here. I live in Belfast next to Pikeville where the dealership is.....I’m depressed to report that this building can barely be seen anymore. The brush has won its deadly course

If possible I think it would be cool to see if this building is still around today. Post some videos or photos

[@AdamAlydrus]

Mike can enjoy any situation Dark, dirt, rain, storm doesnt matter 😃

[@CeejayyyG]

Just wow. If these guys had kept these cars In a decent building and cleaned them like twice a year they would be worth so much more. Kinda crazy how they are totally fine with letting these classic cars just rot away.

[@compilationvideos4489]

He could had sold just one of them years ago Take that money and build a spacious garage for all of hi cars and he could had saved himself a lot of money

[@compilationvideos4489]

But most people let their depresion get in the way Or just are to stubborn to sell amd rather let them rot He just realized they wore roting so might as well sell them

[@toxictv7366]

He said 30k for a car that the forest was about to claim

[@sonictimm]

Maybe they're charging extra for the foliage.

[@cuda74-gamingvideos23]

Yeah but there rare asf

[@sivi2896]

A request to american pickers team please show us all the cars and bikes restoration process please it's a humble request to the team

[@jeffwall3867]

They dont restore them. They have people for that. Watch a different show

[@fenrislegacy]

They're Pickers, they don't actually restore cars. If possible, they'll get 'em to run on their own power, put new tires, clean 'em a wee bit, and then sell 'em to someone that will restore 'em.

[@kings3732]

Miss and love this show

[@_._._._._._._._]

That dealership is like time just stopped

[@Slowhand871]

No just the maintenance on everything.

[@xrv8raceparts707]

... make 'em run again PLEASE! & thanks for video documentation

[@tthomaselli2]

'Roadworthy Rescues' was at this place, too.

[@phillipanderson8067]

If they are aware that these cars are expensive, why do these owners always seem to allow these cars to set out in the elements? In this case out in the woods overgrown by brush.

[@compilationvideos4489]

He coyld had sold just one Take that money ti build a spacious garage and he could had saved so much years ago

[@debborahholly6714]

They are hoarders! My father is the exact same way no use trying to make sense of it They are who they are lol

[@haydenlogston2164]

It took 2 years but Mike made this a runner. Keep the patina and a new interior.

[@compilationvideos4489]

Do you have the video?

[@ralphgeigner3011]

What a mess ! Yard / shop needs some cleaning / clearing ! cover the cars, sad the AMX in the shop as celling plaster on the hood etc.

[@projectdriven4493]

I live 10 minutes from here.....it’s much worse since they were there in 2014

[@zenobardot]

The AMX at 0:28 was just sold this year. The new owners looked up the title history and contacted the owner who sold it in 1992 to these guys, and that former owner is a relative of mine. The pictures I saw from this year show it sitting in a build where the roof had caved in on it, and clearly things had devolved a bit from when this was filmed.

[@razer2981]

There was a nash Healey in the original movie Sabrina with Bogart and Hepburn.

[@jh1328]

So...if you clearly have enough time on your hands, and a lot of space, why wouldn’t you keep them all inside?

[@chrissyb7916]

Or at least cut back the growth and grass. Sheesh.

Equivalent - "I got a 1991 Chevy s10. Holes in the roof, frame bent, motor leaks oil, needs a new trans. Brand new tires, brakes, and wipers. Fun to drive. $25k no low balls. l know what I got."

[@MrHuds88]

This word "Equivalent"...I don't think it means what you think it means...lol You're comparing a dime-a-dozen pickup truck to a super rare classic. I'm not saying the Nash was worth that, but you're comparing apples to onions here 🤷‍♂️

Cool cars!

Can anyone help me out here? They're in the situation where they have $30,000 sat in a forest, clearly not in a hurry to sell, what?? Why how etc...

[@Johonavich49]

How much are the cars valued at?

[@Slowhand871]

In good condition 100k. My guess is they will just flip them with nothing more than a little cleaning and 2k in towing. Prob make 5-7k per car after costs.

People buy old cars to restore them, not every car from the mid 50s is going to look immaculate 60 years later. There's a whole business with restoring old cars and let's just say a lot of money goes into it

Because there are thousands and thousands of Nash Healey's available, right? When's the last time you saw one of these cars on the road anywhere? Hahaha

[@bflegacyranch5977]

Mike is not the nice guy he pretends to be on TV. He is always expecting his customers to be nice and generous with there time but when I called Mike on his cell phone after my Dad passed away he was not concerned that I was looking for information on a Indian race bike that my dad use to race in the late 50's. I called him because he claims to collect Indian bikes and I really thought he could help me know what the bike was by the pictures I sent him. The only thing he was concerned with was what website had his info it. SO he wanted info from me but did not reciprocate by helping me out at all. He just ghosted me. I never called him or texted him again out of professional curtesy. I just thought it was a total d--k move. He only cares about him self and what he can make. No longer a fan of Mike Wolfe

[@tomparis37]

I mean you dug deep for his personal cell phone number and then started asking for info like youve known him from way back. Im gonna run a scenario with you that I do when I have computer clients who aren't getting it. Lets say instead of Mike Wolfe being who he is its YOU, you're the man with the knowledge and tv show. Its Tuesday afternoon you're going over some things for your business and you get a call. You don't recognize the number and you're kinda a celebrity so its strange and there are lots of wackos out there. You go ahead and answer and this guy starts asking you about Indian motorcycles and then the dude starts sending you pictures via text! Now you're like what in the world first off how did this guy get my number and why is he blowing up my text with pictures???? This guy is strange and has gone out of his way to find my personal number. So you go look dude I need to know where you got the number from but the other guy just keeps going on that his dad passed away and is sending pictures. So you hang up and block the guys number. That was you to Mike Wolfe. He doesn't exist to be your personal information giver. Next time A. do the research yourself and B. If you MUST speak with him go through the proper channels.
