BARN FINDS & HIDDEN GEMS at MCACN 2023!

[@mattwhaley9917]

As cool as the super rare 100 point restored cars are at MCACN, the Barn Finds section is where the action is at for me. Absolutely nothing cooler than seeing these neglected gems in their "as found" state! Thanks for wetting my whistle with these Beauties, Ryan!

[@AutoArchaeology]

I agree!

[@michaeladamo1188]

@@AutoArchaeologysame! Anyone who knows me. knows I always preferred the cars in there original state! Back in the 90s and early 2000s I used to get a lot of stupid questions about my cars.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yeah, been there!

[@webrigs]

What an incredible assembly of cars. Adding this event to my bucket list!

[@cyclesmithy142]

The first time I have attended this show, impressed with the large size and variety, but the barnfind section took the cake. To my eye it had more people viewing it than anything else at the show. To see these rare cars in “as found” condition conjures up the fantasy of discovering them yourself.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Happy to hear you enjoyed the section and the show!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

😍Oh wow, love the Can Am at the 14.30 mark 👍

[@rajcam80]

Very neat collection of great cars!

[@louiskats5116]

Goodday Ryan, Boy oh Boy I have been waiting for your video Ryan. Plenty of videos on KZbin not worth watching until your one comes out & you didn't disappoint, hit it out of the ballpark. Thank you for sharing with a Aussie desperate to get over one day to MCACN. Happy to be part of your crew anything to be a part of it. Great video worth the wait Cheers I know where there is a fully loaded 1968 Pontiac Bonneville 2 door Hardtop with a 428 HO engine & 8 lug Pontiac Wheels, ex New Mexico Car here in a barn in Australia that needs to return to the States & put into your barn find MCACN. Sitting in a barn here last 15 years buried deep only the owner & I know about it. Take Care & Stay Warm Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Australia 🇦🇺 🇺🇸

[@AutoArchaeology]

Sorry for the delay! You definitely should come to the show. You are not the only Aussie that comes. We even had one Aussie on staff for a while. He would fly in, work, then hang around the states for a while. That would be a cool Bonneville for sure!

[@Amoparman408]

I have seen a few videos of coverage of this event, and yours by far was the best, best car coverage, best insight. Especially for those of us that can't get there easily. Makes me want to put my 66 coronet 500 barn find in next year. Great Job!!

[@AutoArchaeology]

Happy to hear that!

[@tyronechatman2592]

It's ironic this is my first viewing of this channel and a car similar (1964 Buick Wildcat convertible) to my own is featured. Love it!

[@AutoArchaeology]

It was meant to be!

[@josephsokola6885]

Interesting history of the cars....

[@robertdavies7802]

Some great cars there this year Ryan ! That hurst olds and 70 cuda pilot car blew me away. I hope to make it to the show next year as I live in the uk 🇬🇧 so hoping to book a flight and spend the weekend there ! Keep the muscle car history alive !! 👍

[@timberice2]

Will be taking delivery of a 1965 GTO tri-power 4-speed car with the rare transistorized ignition option later in the month. Original New Mexico car with P.H.S documentation.

[@SeanJoseph-s2s]

Yeah very nice cars with a lot of information to study off those cars...thank you.

[@silverstar4289]

Pays to be up early! I have to go to this next year.

[@DanDoge-wp7uj]

Thanks for the video. Lots of great cars still sitting in barns. Ryan's classic cars. Just did a video that included a pink one off duster..if that's the one you're talking about. iowa classic cars. It was coming up in a Auction.

[@humbertorivera1718]

I love all this old finds, how can I find about dates and places for the shows? Thanks for the video.

[@wagonlife2778]

Soo cool,thx a ton, man

[@davidcorder95]

Oh yeah

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

Great display with a fantastic varied selection. The 61 Chevy convertible stands out my mind because just something you don't see very often. That could be pretty much said for every one of these cars. The 68 Oldsmobile is close to my heart. Thanks for doing the walkthrough in all the work you put into this.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

@@AutoArchaeologythere's a salvage yard 2500 mopars from about 64 through 75. They have a few other makes and models peppered in. I'm pretty sure you mentioned it before. But in case I'm wrong I want to share it with you. Stevens performance alabama. It'll come up on Google with that. They're also into reproduction Parts as well. There's a couple of decent 6 cylinder cudas on the Ohio West Virginia border. I forget the name of the yard now. But I have it on my list. Oh I know of a few other shells but these cars are fairly complete.

[@AutoArchaeology]

I did a video series on them a few years ago!

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-2025]

@@AutoArchaeology I think I may have watched it. But even if I didn't because fears that I wasn't doing anything with you tube. I would be surprised if you did not know about it. You know you got that car out at the guy's place there by Fenton. I was wondering if you were going to do a follow-up segment. He does have a lot of nice very desirable Mopar cars. His inventory is second to none as far as parts.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Absolutely, he has the largest Mopar yard in the world.

[@Tumbleweed_Tx]

it would be great to see updates on that '70 H/O car. Rocket Restoration in Washington.... that's where Jamie from Dead Dodge Garage does his youtube show.

[@AutoArchaeology]

They will be posting updates on their Facebook Page.

[@michaeladamo1188]

Jamie helped Tom get it running look for the video! It’s cool!

[@nonotever-cu3nr]

Next year you might as well go to the brother's collection and show us there garage find collection.

[@AutoArchaeology]

We did that in 2021.

[@raydevito6523]

Nice video! What is the Shelby serial numbers of the 1968 ( xxxx) and 1969 (48xxxx)?

[@AutoArchaeology]

No idea, I didn't write it down here.

[@musclecarczarig4003]

You should stay in the garage and get some work on your Challenger! Great job on the display this year!

[@AutoArchaeology]

It is so cold now.

[@RoscoRide]

Back in 1996 my buddy bought a 71 challenger 440 6pack 4 speed one of 127 made identical to the one in this video I’m wondering if that was the one that he had? It was built April 1 71 in Hamtramck, Michigan.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Do yo have the VIN of your car?

[@RoscoRide]

@@AutoArchaeology No, I wish I did I remember it did have black interior with yellow piping around the seats and the motor was a 72 block I believe and not the original

[@AutoArchaeology]

Yellow piping on the seats isn't stock either. Interesting combo

[@plymouthduster225]

Would have loved to been there. I bet your ready to catch up on some sleep. Any news on how things are going with your new model Challenger at the dealership?

[@AutoArchaeology]

Nothing lately, the strike just ended for Stellantis a week or so ago. So my new engine is in the backlog.

[@roycervantes1341]

Yeee 😃

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

rare car of all of them has to. be the 65 fury III 4 door post 426 max wedge and a 4 speed . how many were ordered and it servied not having the engine taken out and body junked same with wagons

[@johnjoole2258]

Subscriber ride photos at end of videos especially barn finds ?

[@AutoArchaeology]

What's up?

[@johnjoole2258]

I was just thinking maybe you could put subscribers car photos in your videos at the end just an idea / love your videos ,!

[@AutoArchaeology]

Ah gotcha. We shall see in the new year maybe!
