C2 Corvette that cost $1,750, Alfa Romeo Sprint, and a Fraiser | Barn Find Hunter - Ep. 121

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

I was stationed in Italy in 72/73. I had a 64 Alfa Romeo Guilia 1300. That's where I got my fondness for small sport sedan's. Exhaust had a great sound bouncing off the walls of the buildings in the small towns.

[@misteralfredo]

You know it's a shame I didn't know this was gonna happen. There's an awesome BMW yard just nearby Nashville called Barnes Motor Werks that was, as the initials would imply, a BMW dealer(?). He had about 7 acres of BMWs sitting right off of highway 70, about an hour outside of Nashville. Tons of really cool lots out here like that.

[@tkania8888]

Love the work that you do to keep this passion alive for so many of us. Just thanks! 🙃

[@jimr8198]

That Studebaker with the sliding roof - Not sure if the ad was for a Stude or an American Motors, but they showed a refrigerator sticking out of the hole in the back. You could use it as a truck to carry tall stuff.

[@HotRollBrad]

I had a 74 Honda 750 that had a Yoshimura 812 kit in it. I got it from a guy my brother worked with and he would drag race at the local strip. I’m a big guy and that front wheel would come up very easily. I sold it to my brother around 1984. It’s still sitting in the corner of his garage! I’ll get it back one of these days.

[@THE_Michael_Westen]

Still drooling all over the table seeing all the classic Alfas. 😍

[@mythrusthelema]

Seeing that 750 brought back a lot of memories. I've owned 2 over the years, a dressed out '74 with a Windjammer faring and a '79 stock. Great bullet proof engines, I loved those bikes...

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

I had a 79 750 Super Sport. Nice road bike once I got rid of the crappy chinese tires.

[@marcryvon]

For me too. But I could'nt afford a 750. An old uncle had a CB350 that he bought in a moment of nostalgia, that he barely used for a couple 'o years and he sold it to me for 100$ ! That bike was so nice, bulletproof.

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

@@marcryvon My Brother in law had a CB350, brought it back from Puerto Rico in 74. Couldn't ship it to the next duty station, so he sold it to the Honda dealer. Looking back, I shoulda bought it from him, I was riding an SL175 at the time.

[@mythrusthelema]

My worst bike was a 74 Honda 450, it liked to suck valves if the timing chain was a smidgen loose.

[@jbacon1861]

That Sprint Speciale is way cool!

[@OsbornTramain]

It's not a sun roof on the Wagonaire, it's so you can load large tall items that normally wouldn't fit in a wagon, but would fit into a pick up truck....it's for hauling things, not a sun tan.

[@James-js6dx]

Driving that thing cross country. He was growing herbs all right. 💨

[@paladinbirdy6032]

I drive by Anderson's every day without knowing it. Always loved looking at the green GMC truck parked outside. I drive an 87 Trans AM GTA, I wish I knew there was one rotting away back there the entire time.

[@daveco1270]

I was hoping we might see a vintage motorcycle on this episode. Love the old Honda's.

[@duramax78]

That second guy is friggin kool too, love that story of the 4 cylinder, I bet it’s true.

[@zymmer4]

The S-90..In Charleston, WV, in the early-mid 1960,s..a group of us in highschool, had different model Honda machines..One of our group had the S-90..It was as fast as a 650 BSA on the tight, tight roads up on South Hills. We timed it at 74 MPH on the way to The Shoneys Hide-A-Way in Kanawha City..Jake could really use that S-90 !!

[@clarkleakins879]

The Studebaker Wagonair sliding roof was for appliance service business. Deliver washer/dryer/refrigerator. Before Van's become popular.

[@ryansleftboot]

Tom, you are one of the greatest joys on the net. These videos are utterly amazing. I live in the UK and our cars do not survive. So jealous of the finds you make. Top one. Nice one. Get sorted!

[@bramasole66]

Dear Tom, yet another great episode! One thing only from my italian side: the Alfa Romeos you showed are iconic cars of the 60s worth an own episode. Incredible pieces of design from Pininfarina and mechanical masterpieces of those days. They represent the last real Alfa Romeos. They are worth all together more than 150k depending on the conditions…. Thanks again!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

I can never understand how a 63 Vette sits in decent shape but not running for 35 years.

[@bshingledecker]

That triple tail light modification is one of the few changes I consider acceptable on that body style. I have seen too many butchered which can never be brought back to their glory.

[@3ducs]

That Volvo P1800 was worth a look too.

[@gte930d]

Volvos get no respect. Real shame.

[@doublel7337]

I loved this video, seeing the Frazer, and the Alfas was great. It was when he pulled the cover off the Honda 750 motorcycle that I really got excited. I worked at a Honda dealership in 1969 when the CB-750 came out. We only got one 1969, but I was able to buy one early in 1970. We also sold Yamaha bikes, and I believe it was the Yamaha 650cc that was the hardest hit for the British twins.

[@3ducs]

Alfas.

[@doublel7337]

@@3ducs You're right, I guess the shelbys were the alphas.

[@DuckReach432]

I hope that Frazer gets saved and restored. What a cool car.

[@MikeE55]

Love Barn Find Hunter. Come back to the UK soon.

[@phillipleeds296]

The step-through Honda 90 is the standard mail delivery bike for Australia Post and has been for decades. They are not available new for private sale in Australia, only second hand from Australia Post.

[@RiderKStory]

A motorcycle makes a new dream come true. Running like flying, repairing my own bike in my own garage...if I grow old like that...

[@tautwas]

Guest - shows and tells the story about motocycle. Tom - what a beautyful car :DDD

[@duramax78]

Loved the first guy, very kool. And just ole Sokol.

[@chrisweir1097]

Finally some more motorcycle content. Love the videos.

[@michaelkozelka4803]

I had a 1974 750-4, used and slightly chopped with pull-back handle bars, straight pipes, and a king-queen seat. I was late for work on morning and doing about 80 mph around a long sweep corner and hit the back end of a deer! I almost went off into the woods, but did not or I wouldn`t be here telling this true story. I got back into my lane and took it very slow the rest of the way to work. The bike was not hurt and the deer kept running, and thank God I didn`t get hurt either! Take care

[@moparedtn]

From SW Virginia to Nashville, you must have come right through here Tom (NE TN). That I-40 boogie can get ponderous, man....safe travels out there! - Ed on the Ridge

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Fantastic Tom Cb 750 did absolutely change the motor bike world Then the next change was the Kawasaki z 900 😍😍👍👍

[@glenncrockett4451]

My Uncle Drag raced CB750's for Honda back in the early 70's and still has records on a few.

[@deanishere7237]

6:47 I bet it wouldn't take 3 guesses to know what kind of "herbs" he was growing lol :D

[@johnschutt9187]

Wonderful. Thank you, Tom. Man. I'd love to own that Vette.

[@mausplan3890]

CT90's were used by Australia post to deliver mail. Nowdays they are used most for long distance endurance races though the Outback. Everyone rides a CT90 Postie Bike. So popular that the latest model with 110'cc are being made again in Thailand in road and off road versions. The off road model comes with knobby tires, sump guards and all the trick stuff. RV people love them because you cannot break them

[@adamfarkasbdp]

Hello. I'm gonna ask this here because I have no other idea where else to type this. Could you please do an interview with Tom Cotter on his life? I can't get enough of his casting and I pretty much watch anything he puts out. It would be great to get to know him a little bit more. Thank you! Adam from Hungary.

[@nobodynoone2500]

This guy's undervaluing those hondas like crazy, thats 10 years ago prices at best!

[@dougshaw2944]

Thanks for showing us some bikes! Dig that CB750

[@rxcosmo76]

Hi there. Great show. We still have the CT110 as a postie bike.

[@paulcost6446]

Yep regular here in Oz brings all the horrible bills to our letter box lol

[@ZippoVarga]

That Honda 750 is the original Sand Cast K0 750. I've seen them sell in original #2 condition for in excess of $15,000.

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Postie bike. They actually raced them here in Oz. K1 750 Honda,, a new era in motorcycles. A friend had one that color near new in about 72.

[@affordablevs]

Brilliant episode once again Tom... keep doing what you are doing my friend.👍

[@randymack2222]

I really dig the custom Vette, with Impala tail light layout!

[@jackmundo4043]

Summer is awesome.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Happy trails Tom!😁😁

[@stevelavender1421]

My first bike was a 1967 CL90. We bought it for $30, but had to push it home. Alot of work later, it ran reliably and solidly. It had huge 64 tooth rear sprocket, so it topped out at about 30 mph, but it could really pull. I don't remember what became of it...

[@sheldondyck8631]

My uncle has a 79 Honda Goldwing with 1000 miles on it. It hasn’t been on the road in over 30 years and probably never will. It’s a shame really.

[@pugnos1]

Awesome as usual. More vids Tom. Your a legend

[@kaos3383]

Grew up on muscle cars and hotrod trucks. Definitely enjoy the couple hondas that I have. For sure they were innovative

[@mattomon1045]

The Studebakers sliding rear roof section that allowed the vehicle to carry items that would otherwise be too tall for a conventional station wagon loads like a refrigerator or tall kitchen cabinets or trees /Useded as a truck.

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

Great people great adventure thanks Tom

[@solterodad]

Liked the Honda S90. My first bike was a 68 Honda SS125 back in 1975.

[@timbeattie1277]

That Honda CT 90 was the bread and butter of Australia post for over 40 years. So much so we call them postie bikes. Can get them cheap as surplus bikes.

[@lawrencetrow6394]

I have watched every episode of barn find hunter my favourite think on KZbin. Even though I’m in the uk it’s really good and would make a great tv program

[@tommissouri4871]

All C2 Corvette Sting Rays are low mileage. The trip odometer put too much load on the speedometer gears and they frequently broke or the cable broke, so the miles never went up.

[@mrawesome2524]

Understatement of the year at Minute 11:01…. :^D

[@bennyhannover9361]

The Frazer was a big surprise, maybe a 1948 model ? It was a cooperation with Kaiser Corporation. Actually a sort of luxury Kaiser

[@mariohughes2289]

Awesome video thanks for sharing 👌 👍 Greetings from Ireland

[@Z-Twinturbo]

new BFH just dropped ! I got good timing today

[@Justa4banger79]

I sure miss my 76 750 k. Beautiful bike.

[@buckneighkidd419]

Pretty sure that Honda CB750 may be an early 'Sandcast' model as the small hump on the seat was deleted shortly after it's 1969 introduction.

[@traddad9172]

Always a pleasure watching Thanks Tom & Gang💪✅️

[@jacobLoukkojarvi351]

They should do a barn find episode in Oregon

[@mikoyanfulcrum1]

Man I love this stuff,....

[@NewbombTurk.]

No mention of the 6 taillight setup on the Corvette?

[@stebecinc]

Wow love those Alfas

[@clarkleakins879]

Honda 90, simple engine, easy to handle, excellent fuel mileage. Take you just about everywhere. More exciting with a Rocky 110 bore. CT90 perfect novice motorcycle for the hunter/fisher/camper. Great "starter motorcycle" for millions of people around the world.

[@blueman5924]

Have you watched the CT90 channel with a young bloke named Ed ? Travelled the world on them. Currently in Moab.🤙

[@clarkleakins879]

Ed has KZbin channel "C90 Adventures". He rides C90, the street 90. CT90 is the dual range gearbox 90, a trail bike. Although mostly the same engine, frame and suspension is very different.

[@sallyb3]

Had a Super 90 back in 1966.

[@charlesgallagher1376]

I wonder if the 750 Honda is a sandcast engine. Big bucks for a sandcast.

[@AdeReeves]

Had a 750/4 great nikes ... started life with an SS50 too, boy that thing took some abuse 😆

[@jimgerock9190]

Surprised you didn’t stop by The Lane Motor Museum and check out their entire collection!

[@somerandomness4285]

Come to Connecticut, I know of an awesome amc/hudson collection

[@euisdbill]

Tell me more about the herb garden what was going in there

[@thebuildshed775]

Where was the walkaround on the Volvo P1800?!?

[@anthonystagliano9795]

Wow. Alfa heaven.

[@sporty196071]

I find cars and bikes but not as great as the ones you find.. Four years ago I found a 67 Corvette with a 409 4spd and a 69 C-20 with 3089miles, 396 W/3 on the tree, they were next door to my ex girlfriend. About 15 years ago I found a 72 F-250 with 6821miles .That was next door to a friend's house.

[@shawnathon60]

I remember one flood ruined a lot of great guitars there,,, sad!

[@jamesdewiel4736]

What’s with the 6 tail lights on the stingray

[@csgarage3682]

Disappointed you walked past the gorgeous volvo 1800 on your way to the alfas and bkes Nuce video

[@islandaerial3414]

Flood damage tragedy 😪 Honda Elements have rear sunroofs

[@billymoretti8437]

Wish you showed the Volvo p1800 behind you guys

[@Cartier_specialist]

I bet he hasn't bought one of those Honda 90s recently because they aren't selling under $1000 -- more like $2500 to $3000.

[@kyleforeman4543]

Luv,luv , sweet Honda's

[@wyattoneable]

Near by home town! Great stuff.

[@jahanzaibali2270]

[@petermashak3341]

I hate when people put those extra tail lights on the Corvettes!🤬

[@martyturpen4535]

What corvette has tail lights added?

[@lcskibird]

I have a pair of Weber 40 DCO3 carbs just overhauled by Mike Pierce. Those who know webers will understand why Alfa owners want them.

What about the Volvo P1800?

If Papa can't fix it, we all screwed. :D

What is the yellow car you use to drive around? I’ve seen it before but forgot the name.
