Hudsons, Plymouths, Jeeps, Lincolns, and more! | Barn Find Hunter - Ep. 68

It's the fourth and final day in Bozeman, MT, and Tom strikes gold again! At location number one we have Hudsons, Plymouths, Jeeps, Lincolns, Studebakers, Nashs, AMCs, Chevys, and Chryslers. Moving onto location number two, Tom finds a car he hasn't seen in over 25 years, an Oldsmobile F-85 Rallye 350. The third and final location holds a wonderful story about a Dino and Rosie Seppi, a couple who traveled all around the United States in their Volvo 122 wagon.

Nice to see a man that is not just letting his vehicles rotting away. Big Props to this great Man from Montana!

[@simonsilva5313]

The first guy is the real car guy, no cars rotting away, actually bringing cars back to their original glory

[@HorrorUberAlles]

13:44 That green '41 Hudson is _mint!_ that old man has fantastic taste!!

[@KubotaManDan]

Old man...many of us are

[@janmartens7954]

Love the first guy, a real petrolhead. Watch his eyes glimmer

[@VtWildabeast]

Knew his stuff too

[@roylehew3164]

GEAR HEAD in America

[@vmlelectronics]

this man deserves to live forever!

[@robertbuchwald6514]

What a genuinely nice man with the realisation that he won't get to work on the many projects. He's willing to sell at a reasonable price to let other enthusiasts enjoy the hobby. 👍 Not hoarding just to hoard .

[@jamezxh]

Better to let the old girls go to be loved then rust in a paddock .

[@docktrspoc]

this was a great episode - love seeing the old oddball makes and models.

[@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge]

I know, right? Everyone is just obsessed with 60s Chevys or Fords or Mopars, making even worthless scrapyard rust buckets shoot up to ridiculous prices, while there are all these cars nobody has ever heard of just waiting to be fixed up for less than a 10th of what a mediocre generic 60s big three muscle car costs.

[@DavidSmith-ht1ye]

Awesome job Mr. Tom!!!!! I really enjoyed this episode!!!!! I cannot believe some of the cars you found this time!!!! Keep up the hard work, and keep sending me these videos!!!!!! Thanks Tom, May God bless you!!!!

[@dankernaghan7012]

Tom, "We're out there for you looking for old cars" - and I appreciate it. You and your team is going places that I can't go, so i"m living vicariously through you! Thanks.

[@marcryvon]

Ho my good Lord, the Lincoln !! WOW ! First I tought it was a 55 or 56 Packard Carabean! I do not care much about other models of this era but that Lincoln... awesome ! I saw one Carabean once in my life, when I was a 10 or 12 years old kid and I fell in love with this awesome car forever. I asked my Dad about it and he said "You've got good but expensive tastes buddy !" I love this man !

[@felixrose1578]

Thanks for doing this show! This motivated me to get a old car from the Staates this year. Searched it and bought it and imported it to Germany. I watch every episode! Greetings from Germany!

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

If you dont mind me asking what kind of car did you buy?

[@felixrose1578]

@@buckodonnghaile4309 I am in with the Buicks. So I wanted to get an electra. I ended up with a 1969 sports coupe. Gold with a white top and white interieur. One family owned and only around 20 thousand original miles on it. I am lucky that i found this one.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

@@felixrose1578 Beautiful car and good luck with her.

[@davelister1]

This is why I would like these programs to be longer, I could listen to old straight up car guys all day ! Love so many of those in the collection.

[@Formulabruce]

They could have spend 2 hours at the first stop, I wouldn't mind, and I wouldn't mind a commercial either!

[@BradPitbull]

I AGREE I also wish I was in a jacuzzi with them butthole naked

[@HangitRite]

Really enjoy this show!!! My dad was the 2nd person to die in alabama from the CCP virus. Very few things i have been able to focus on and keep my mind off the loss we have had but these programs i can watch from beginning to end lean into my Ipad ,waiting for the car thats behind that door or peeking out from behind a tree.. been almost a year since we lost my dad and its a little biiter sweet when you will come up on a car and i forget dad is gone and i just almost grab my phone and call him to tell him about what I’m seeing or tell myself when I go to dads i will have to show it to him..i just found this channel a little before he got sick so only watched 5 maybe 6 shows . But he loved it..its been good medicine for me.thanks for the great distraction

[@jamesmarriott9972]

This series is just perfect, love seeing these cars, also the interesting people and geography are a bonus. Thanks for the content. James Cornwall uk

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Stu's collection was the best, and his prices were quite reasonable.

[@bobbythompson3544]

Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus At last a human being who loved cars and would sell one, incredible collection, surely cars from war years are rare!

[@waynesmith7487]

Another Four hour drool-a-thon worthy find condensed to an agonizing just short of half an hour spot! Great finds, Great Cars, Great People to let you show, touch, feel their loves!

[@mindeloman]

It's an EXTREMELY rare thing to see a car accumulator actually come to reality and realize - too many projects and not enough years. Reasonably priced too. All too often: 70 year old man with 50 desirable cars rotting in a pasture saying, "gonna fix'em up one day."

[@RustyIronProjectsRIP]

This is so true, I like it when I see someone pass on a project to the next guy without thinking it's gold. Nothing better than a reasonable price for a project.

[@shaunclifton5281]

Ha ! I Apologize, I hadn't read this far down in the comments, and just bragged on how wonderfully Sensible he Is.

Looks close to eighty to me, and the best of car menagerie is kept in his wooden sheds, and he's gonna keep those beauties for a while!

[@lal5555f]

haha im in my 20s and I'm feeling the too many projects not enough years thing. I've sold off a lot of stuff

[@TAMBestBuild]

Nice to see someone who is actually restoring these cars. So many of the collectors just let them rot away. Great show. Thanks.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

I am very pleased that you are looking for old cars! Thanks.

[@jamesfrazer3172]

Great that you got to experience all of Montana's seasons in just a week. I tell everyone we get our last snow in July and our first in August, i am never disappointed. I love the barn find hunters and its cool to have you visit the area where i live. Keep up the good work.

[@marcchannelvariedades7832]

cars were built to last, i'm amazed to see the chrome being eternal, thanks.

[@drwho534]

My #1 favourite auto show!! Eagerly await each episode, loved the variety in this episode. Thanks Tom!

[@BlueHopi144]

many here must be feeling the same ......😃

[@ticnatz]

I'm a European resident. I drove thru Nebraska & Colorado just 2 weeks ago. I saw so many old Hudsons & Pontiacs that I have to start a new photo album.

[@jordanhenry7950]

I agree.But that's the reason why this show is special.These cars are really barn finds.Most of these barn find shows stage the cars weeks before they film the episode.

[@dafily1697]

Waaoohh! some really awesome cars, I didn't know the Lincoln premier, it's such more rare than Caddies or Chevys; and this Hudson leadsled with this shape smooth as a girlfriend kiss...and those Jeeps make me fall in love with those first SUV's of the world !! Excuse-me if my english (or american) isn't good, we 're better in french ! coming from a so long far away island calls Madagascar ! I always loved american cars, their shape, engine and feeling make me feel like a child : "wooooww!" all the time... Just wish those care will come back on the road !! Thanx for this awesome episode showing parts of the great american history of cars.

[@bfra881]

Last time I was this early you were still buffing out the wagons fender in the desert.

[@ChipW]

That's what I love about this show. All of the odd ball cars no one wants. My favorite type of car.

[@danam0228]

I was there that day when it snowed, visiting from New England in shorts and sweatshirts with my kids. Loved it! Enjoyed a nice little snowball fight. Some other people all bundled up looked at us like we were crazy. Good times. Thanks for the video. Love the oddball cars you found.

[@nunyabiznass8809]

Wow what a beautiful F85. We have a 1966 F85 and we love it.

[@geoffreydemaesschalck6065]

The first guy is amazing, nicely restored cars inside, a few projects for keeping and the rest he is willing to sell off at a decent price ! Fantastic. The Olds is cool, nice to see and hear it running !

[@chrisblore9635]

What a real treat to see a guy that actually rebuilds the cars. Nicely done to. Great episode Tom. Always appreciate what you do for all of us

[@johnready630]

Finally , someone with realistic prices !!

The contact's you make & deals that you run into, A person like me, Living paycheck to paycheck & dreaming of a v8, rwd, hot rod! LUCKY MAN!

[@kiabrown7013]

Like the old green Chevy pickup truck very nice and classy looking

[@beatglauser9444]

Only watching the first third so far: Finally a guy who asks extremely reasonable prices for his solid and great project cars. Young people and guys with limited budgets should run to this place and buy one or two cars right away.

[@SquillyMon]

I think I like the "old paint with new chrome" look... it's growing on me for sure.

[@johnphillips519]

Its great to see people interested in those rarer brands/models as the common ones get boring

[@hudson2441]

Yeah how many Mustangs and Camaros can you see in a car show?

[@DimZ_F1]

What a great guy mr. Stu is! And he finishes his projects or sells them. Don't hoard people, take Stu's example!

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

Beautiful land and collection. I'd buy that Studebaker in a heartbeat for 1600 bones.

[@beatglauser9444]

Seeing Stu's great car collection, I can say: I love this guy, his knowledge, his very good taste in cars. Nashs, Hudsons, Studebakers and much more. Lovevly, lovely cars!!! Who says only the Big Three could build cars, does not know a thing. The older I get the more I fall in love with cars of the Forties and early Fifties. As a small boy I was extremely fascinated by the finned beauties of the late Fifties, (in fact I still am). But considering the quality of the earlier cars, I bet, that cars never got as good and rock solid ever after. The love for details, the solid steel bodies, the simple and bullet proof mechanical parts. I always say: Where the hell is the "progress" in car production.

[@ruftime]

Nice Tom! I agree, what a great anniversary gift for Rosie.

[@GWAR1982]

Hate to say it but I wish I could smell them while I’m watching. Nothing like that old car smell.

Yeah I love that smell too.

Same here. 👍

Mold and rot?

No the smell of old leather & just car smell... Once experienced it stays with you forever.... I also love the smell of electro mech workings of old pinball machines!

[@michaelcook768]

Wonderful automotive history.

[@getoutofthetimetrap5435]

By far the best channel for stories on old cars and car collectors !

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

My parents had 68 122 (s), bought new in 67 in Sweden. They had it shipped to North America ( Volvo shipped them free then). They had it over 40 years. Super reliable car.

[@cliff7292]

Years ago a friend at work told me he had a "440 with a shaker hood" .He showed me the car and it was a 440 Rambler like in the video.. When I asked about the shaker hood he said the whole car shook and it did !

Better than the filth on television that's for sure

[@IvoPoblete]

For me the worst thing about the TV stuff is that it is all scripted and dramatic. 😱🤢😠

[@michaelnaisbitt1639]

I love today’s reality TV particular when then forget their lines and always look surprised when the predetermined winner wins or finds their love or Marrying some strange. What a waste of video tape. It’s all crap and yet they still make it rather than an interesting story like this

[@damonhallsworth1948]

justasoldier1611 not just in the uk then.👍

[@rickfromthecape3135]

Took my TV out back and shot it 30 years ago.

[@earthsperfectphotos9765]

Indeed. Every 5-10 min... commercial for another 5- 10 min.. just gets sooooo boring. This video is simple and honest. Not any crazy music or weird cuts and really goes in depth with the vehicles.

Filmed on June 20......! Some unique cars and trucks..! Love those Studebaker pickups... chopped top from the factory.! I saw a few of those Ralley 350 Olds in California junk yards.. Pulled a few rare W27 Aluminum rear ends out of them

[@alanlivingston3727]

In Australia those early R and S series Valiants are considered classics and very rare, even when new in Aus, but are definitely restored over here

I started crying when he said he wanted $1600 for the Studebaker truck... 😲😲😄 And then that awesome art Deco looking lettering on the hood of that Lincoln was awesome... Great spot there!

Great episode,every time there is at least one car i want but now there were just too many (two thumbs up)!

[@lewisgeyer1440]

The Rallye 350 was a budget 442. In the early '80s when I was attending community college in Lansing, MI, I used to park next to a Rallye 350 that was still someone's daily driver.

[@Syntheticwarehouse]

This guy is the best host on this topic I've ever run across. He talks clearly and doesn't interrupt. Doesn't act like a know-it-all like the rest of these kind of shows.. Plus the most interesting cars are these projects, not perfect ones and their owners.

[@ralfhedstrom]

Love Your show. and the older I get, the more I notice that I like the odd ones. There are so much hope, wondeful designs/details, solutions and enthusiasm behind them. A wonderful collection of cars and most of them have a history behind them too.....just love that Rambler American 440, the Olds, Hudsons and the Volvo Amazon (as they are called in Europe/Sweden)...think I need to get me one of those to tinker with before its to late :)
