Best barn find ever? 45 sports cars hidden in Virginia | Barn Find Hunter - Ep. 70

[@Onewheelordeal]

We should all take a moment to thank the man who assembled this collection and say a prayer for his family through his illness.

[@bradzimmerman3171]

Yeah its Kimmel better to pray to Santa claus, a better chance of being answered, those other creeps don't care

[@mrgonzo2139]

@@bradzimmerman3171 I don’t believe in religion but why hate if it helps a person better themselves good for them.

[@moparedtn]

I'd like to take another opportunity here to say THANK YOU to Hagerty for all the great programming you all provide. I always knew you were a great insurance company (I've been a customer for years) as well as an obvious friend of the hobby, but these shows are yet another feather in your cap. Merry Christmas to all my fellow car nuts and prayers for peace in the new year! -Ed on the Ridge

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Thanks Ed. Well said and I concur. Love this channel and everything Hagerty and Tom Cotter stand for. Bless you Ed. Chuck in NE Kansas

[@corntrollio854]

It's content not programming. Programming is what the propagandists at the major media networks put out.

[@michaeladamo1188]

This is a great channel not only the content but I really enjoy Tom he makes it more enjoyable

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

I found a 1971 Buick GS Stage One 14 years ago and I didn’t finally get my hands on it till two months ago. It sat for a total of 38-40 years. I am currently rebuilding it on my channel. Unfortunately I was in rough shape and the previous owner butchered it but I am determined to but this Beauty back on the road

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

LunarOutlaw’s Garage That’s a badass car. Best of luck!

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Nimesh Chokshi thank you. In my eyes one of the most aggressive looking awesome cars of its time

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Babylon falling it did but he it pulled in the late 70s after he blew it up

[@Mark-nu5vg]

I had a buddy who was in love with BuicksGrand Sports he had one with I think a 455 he stepped hard on it 1 night messing around the thing had so much torque it tore the body away from the frame and it was riding with part of the tank and trunk riding over the back tire.That thing for sure was a sleeper it looked a little like a skylark I'm not sure it was either a 1970 71.real nice cars a lot of people know nothing about .At the time I owned a 1970 Chevelle ss 396 He'd take me off the line easy

[@LunarOutlawsGarage]

Mark ya they are monsters

[@Bradydog-in7ut]

Tom; You talk about a video that makes the mouth water from beginning to end. You know it’s impossible for the gentleman to complete all these wonderful cars. If he ever wants to sell one of those Daimler’s, please let me know. There so hard to find, especially in the shape they are in.

[@asifnoaman8978]

Have watched this channel for over a year now. I was never into classic or vintage cars but now i just go nuts for them. I don't think there are many people my age (16) that appreciate these cars but one day i will build a collection. Hopefully!

That Ford wagon I remember when you found it... that is an ultimate score no matter what you paid for it.

[@Natakux2]

Really loved seeing the watercooled VWs (Caddys, Rabbits, GTIs). Love this stuff! 43 minute episode to boot!

[@thomasglave3407]

CADDYS!!

[@glennchristie2316]

I like the truck with the Mobile Phone in it. I remember when they first come out. I had their radio frequencies in my scanner at the house. I listened to them talk. At that time - before cellphones - I could hear both sides of the conversation. So Interesting…

[@BlueRidgeJ79]

Wow...this has got to be the coolest, most eclectic collection you've found so far. I'm blown away.

[@user-os7ze9sz2w]

Nice euro crap

[@danielrussell9775]

That gentleman bought the most unbelievable collection

[@ftby59mikeD]

7.0 litre, four-on-the-floor Ford wagon goes 1k miles regularly, way to go Tom! Nice collection & all in reasonable/restorable condition. I imagine the current caretaker won't have much trouble finding new homes! Thx Tom & Hagerty.

[@tommaika9121]

No woman would ever drive THAT to the grocery store though... then again....maybe that's a GOOD THING. lol

[@jonboy9912]

You know you're getting old when you remember all the classics in one episode as new! Great collection - the guy's doing the right thing and should earn a fortune !making sure "They all go to a good home"!! Better than rotting away for another 25 years I suppose like some guys do in the mistaken ambition that one day they will put them all back on the road. The 633 BMW was my favourite!

[@philtucker1224]

Yes join the club Jon 🙏

[@thomasbrasse3145]

Total respect for the Holman and Moody jacket. My 66 Mustang engine was rebuilt by them and I toured their shop on the west side of Charlotte. Great score on this find and best of luck on the sales. I love that 64 365C!!!

[@falconater68]

They were the 60's.

[@evryhndlestakn]

I don't know why I watch this. I just end up salivating. My favourite cars tend to go out the window a bit in this day and age because its simply appreciating an era of cars that we'll never see again & each in its own right becomes priceless due to the scarcity & difficulty to locate short of bucketloads of money. So yup, really I love this channel but so envious at times. I hate the idea of any of the cars they come across not being saved.

[@averagecarguy420]

Sometimes I think about how many buildings there are like this that nobody knows about that are chock full of rare classic cars

[@nimeshchokshi1921]

Phillip Paik Do you know the story of the BMW 328 race car that was found in Iowa? It’s a very cool story.

[@FunWithAJ]

Same.

[@gus6450]

Old farms all over the Midwest , a lot of them have at least something cool in them

[@williamadams4044]

Car collectors are everywhere. My uncle has several buildings full of cars, and he also collected every motor, transmission, and rear end from all the old muscle cars that he could get a hold of. My first car was a 1969 Chevy Impala 2dr. custom coupe with a 396 big block turbo 400 trans, and had the positrack rear end. I traded the motor, tranny, and rear end out of that car for another 1969 Impala red with a white vinyl top and the slotted mag wheels that had a 327 small block. He still has the 36 ford coupe hotrod he drove in high school. Corvettes and a 68 Camaro convertible basket case he restored from the ground up. His side business was upholstery so all his projects got brand new interiors. Seeing what he has collected over the years leads me to believe there are a whole lot of treasure troves of cars and parts sitting all over the US. Hagerty will have plenty more episodes to give us in the future.

[@nononsenseBennett]

Not to mention storage lockers

[@user-tb5ns7hc5i]

Best thing about this episode was your kick ass wagon and that vintage mini hemi.

Wow, what a stash! Thanks Tom and the crew for sharing so many European models. One of the best episodes of the decade!

[@gertvanderhorst2890]

When I was 12 there was what we called an “Elliot Ness” car, a Ford with running boards stuck inside an abandoned garage, I am constantly reminded of it when I see videos like this, keep up the good work guys👍

[@PACKERMAN2077]

When I was a kid there was a 93 uh Cadillac sedan DeVille grey on grey on grey with red interior. I saw it every single day walking to the bus stop. The fiberglass was cracked in the bumper was held on with wood screws but otherwise it was complete and clean but it always reminded me of a cheap suit. There was a 64-66 lime green Ford galaxie on Jacks... The clean dark green NB Miata... W10 MR2 in red, on I think it was BBS rims or OZ or Eenki... It always looked like some supercar

[@Jzzza]

I keep coming back to this episode at 29:47 as I managed to purchase the black Porsche 911 with the M491 'Turbo Look' option from the Virginia buyer who brought it back to life. It is an amazingly original car, and absolutely everything works correctly on it. Once the seats were refreshed, wheels replaced and brakes and fuel lines sorted this car just drives like it was new, a fun time capsule from when I was a kid and dreamt of having one 😂

[@dosman01302]

I'm so glad your driving that old ford wagon Tom!!! I love that ride!

[@z06doc86]

The Porsche numbering/naming system is enough to drive you crazy. I think car models should have names and not just a few numbers. At any rate, that collection was awesome. Tom does it again.

This is just great! Two of the nicest guys, having a whale of a time, exploring a fantastic collection of cars. Some of those Porsche cars from the 1980's don't look outdated, and I kept thinking, if I had the chance, yes that's the one I would buy, only to change my mind a bit later! Most of them seemed to have kept well, it was hard to realize that some of them are between 40 and 60 years old. Thanks for a great video.

Miss my 84 and 92 GTi's.

Great episode! A note: The BMW 633CSi in the video is an E24 model (1976-1989) which included the 635CSi and the original M6 versions. It was penned by the french designer Paul Bracq. Karmann built the first few, but BMW eventually took over production. The 2800/3.0CS/3.0CSi (1968-1975) you mentioned is the E9 model (all were built by Karmann) Wilhelm Hofmeister was the designer. Both are beautiful coupes, but the older E9 is a "true" coupe with no B-pillar. The lightweight 3.0CSL "Lightweight" is the most desirable and was the version used for racing.
