1950 CHEVROLET FAST BACK BARN FIND & RESCUE

[@waynegouin939]

Hi again Jonathan. What a great haul. Im almost speechless. But not enough to say THANK YOU JONATHAN!!! for allowing us u tubers the privlidge to come along!

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Seriously. It was obvious he was exhausted but he took the time to do some "tedious" video-ing which is an effort all on its own. The rescue effort is half the fun, ain't it?

[@duncanfrere2656]

Went back to the June 16th 2017 episode where you first toured this barn. The cars actually look better 2 years later! Glad you're able to save some of them.

[@jorgefernandez-mv8hu]

WOW! That's a lot of real solid cars to get your hands on. That's a haul. You are right about Mustie and that VW bus. Man, you are going to be busier than a one armed paper hanger. I'm glad they are being saved and not crushed. That was some fancy pulling and hauling.

[@clifflong1203]

My first car was a 50 Chevy.. had the rear wheel pants on mine. Best over the road car I ever drove!👌

[@barneyeckert9702]

3 rescues makes you one of my heroes, no, wait, you were already one my hero list. I'm loving the your choices of cars, and the 50 Chevy would make a pretty cool daily driver.

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Jonathan. Amazing barn collection! LUCKY DOG! Theres a small fortune in all those cars. Im happy as heck you got most of them. Saved from the scrap yard!! THANK YOU JONATHAN!!! For making these videos! I love em! I live U.P. in Mi. Around here theyre all long gone.

[@larryweaver5667]

🤔 that was my first car in high school, I loved the fb style.

[@raythackston1960]

Jonathan...I can not say enough about your videos. You are a wonder to watch, and to see your knowledge and your heart that cares about these old cars. Wish everyone had your way of thinking about old cars. keep up the great work.

[@rbear4574]

Love the looks of the older cars.

[@matttaylor373]

three videos in one day !!i dont know if my heart can take it!!! once again you the man!!!!

[@marcijunebug]

Matt Taylor haha right! I thought the same thingp

[@zombietherapy1759]

Uncle had a 48 coupe, that's my favorite outta the bunch. He had an old Sinclair station. Learned more with that man in one week, than most learn in a lifetime. And thats all I got to say about that!

[@HanstheTraffer]

That Chev fast back is a BEAUTY..

[@RemodNC]

You sure put some work into building these episodes and uploading them all today. Thanks for the hard work!

[@photoshopman1972]

Wow! You hit the sweet spot for barn finds there Mr. Jonathan!

[@retiredispose8980]

First actual memory I have of riding in a car was in a 4-door version of this that my grandparents had probably mid 50's. Thanks for bringing back a good memory

[@fava7753]

Another classic saved . You sure can find them . Keep up the excellent work Jonathan . Save as many as you can . The mercedes would keep me in my element restoring that beauty. . I would have it as good as new .

[@justinraystyles3537]

That barn full of old cars is my dream garage of daily drivers!!!!😍😍

[@mustie1]

thanks for takin the time to film the bus but its not worth the time and effort for what it is, but thanks again Jonathan,

[@jonathanw4942]

I figured that when I noticed it was a 1978

[@buckeyejim2989]

I can see lots of potential coming out of that barn find. Thanks for sharing JW. Can't wait to hear of their future.👍😎

[@MartsGarage]

That fastback body style is very attractive, and I'm a Ford guy! It's great that you're pulling them out of there, Jon. Hopefully they can be saved and have a new lease of life.

[@magregorswift5189]

Good job with the rowback...you can tell experience by just watching 👍

[@five0pd310]

Proper tow work is DEFINITELY an art!

[@vic-ff9du]

It's so cool to see some of these get a second chance to be fixed back up love the videos

[@davidcraddock7011]

your viewers are so fortunate, thanks

[@roberttaylor5999]

Glad to see you saving some of these classics. I'd like to have the Mustangs, T-Birds and that Falcon.

[@robertb2479]

Gotta be in heaven 3 videos in one day, that's just too cool.thanks Jonathan.

[@johnapel2856]

Number 3! I love those fastbacks. You got into a little Let's Dig 18 action with the tree pulling! There are some neat cars there. The Mercedes, the Citroen, the Mustie1 Campmobile, man oh man. What a stash. Thanks!

[@bcouri1]

man you really hit the jackpot on these. so cool to see so many majorly unmolested old cars

[@Goomer]

I've never seen a fastback model like that, dig the Pimp interior!

[@timreed1510]

Need to do every one a favor and weld a chain hook on the top of the tractors loader bucket, unbelievably handy. great videos.

[@6petrolhead6]

Wow what a find Johnathan !! She will be a fantastic car and cant wait to see how you got on with her What a struggle to get her out of that barn well done for your perseverance on getting her and your truck out !

[@19c1071]

Saved these just in time , before it all falls ! awesome !

[@MrJeep75]

Your a great man for saving these cars

[@stevelydem7976]

I'm so glad you're doing something with these gems and keeping them from the crusher! Even if they set at your place for another 50 years hopefully they will be put on the rd again though

[@ldean-du5im]

Thanks for the videos Johnathon, really enjoyed them! Better rest a while now!

[@Pohleece222]

Jonathan, you're resembling the American version of Cold War Motors with these exceptional finds, and that's a good thing!

[@n1r0l]

Well, I learn something every day! Today I learned what a Snatch Block is. I thought it was some kind of chastity belt.

[@buckeyejim2989]

Lol. I guess it could be. That's good.😎

[@rokmysoxbaby]

Wrong kind of snatch hahaha!

[@waynegouin939]

Crazy shit.

[@superprettyko]

That would block the snatch for sure, hope ya don't lose the key, NO snatch for you tonight. Pull it your self.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Maaan, you sure work hard for rescuing those great old cars. The more cars you rescue the more great J.W. vids we will see. I love it but please take care of your health! If you're able to buy that Mercedes 180 D I could bet that it would be a really easy cold start. Those OM 636 engines are nearly indestructible. A bit lame and a bit loud of course but extremely fuel economical. New battery/fuel/all filters and oil and it should run. On channel Mercedessource is an older comparison video of Mr. K. Bergsmas own Diesel cars. There you can see and hear his great 180 D running or let's better say "nailing". Looking at that original VW bus Westfalia camper I instantly thought of Mustie1 and... pow... you mentioned him. Maybe 5150mxVW, VWnut or even Marcijunebug is interested also. Although I'm not such a big VW bus fan I definitely would love to own this camper only because it's green inside and outside and a relatively rare automatic. Thanks again for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.

[@asteverino8569]

What positive persistence you have. Take a rest! Some beauties taken out of there though. Nice fastback.

[@mechanicmike1236]

Quite the selection of cars there!! I’m glad you’re saving some of them! Take care

[@djszabo418]

My first car ride was in a 1950 Chevrolet. Came home from the hospital in my uncle Zoltan's. Don't forget to clean the whistling tube for the gas tank! Packard had one too. Often forgotten.

[@Paleoman52]

That one sure made you work for it! Quite the collection of cool old vehicles, enjoyed this video a lot! That Chevy Fast Back is one cool looking ride!

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Ah, Now that is SWEET !! great find and save Jonathan .. ENJOYED

[@zenphamy8596]

That's one Hell of a winch system. It's gonna be fun to see what you do with all of that premium metal.

[@nunyabizness199]

Nice ! I wouldn't mind having that old Mercedes ponton either... I had a 61, that looked just like it. Doesnt have the power to pull the hat off your head but you're not gonna believe the mileage it gets !

[@drfalcon4102]

And they ran forever

[@dyer2cycle]

..saw one of these hauled in to the scrap yard recently...looked like it had been sitting somewhere forever, but it was straight(till the track hoe got hold of it), fairly complete, and not terribly rusty...at 5 cents per pound for scrap vehicles, looks like the owner could have gotten more for it from a collector or parts dealer...unfortunately, some people don't want to bother marketing old vehicles like this, or don't want to haggle with prospective buyers...so they just sell it for scrap instead... :(

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear@@dyer2cycle Things like this are always happening (even nowadays) and are always sad to hear. This one will be rescued (at least I hope so). Channel Mercedessource has a series with a car just like that. Best regards luck and health.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@drfalcon4102 Definitely! Only rust can stop them!

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Nuna Business Maybe you would like to see one in good condition then? Channel Mercedessource has a series just about a car like this (even black).

[@alanwilliamson9350]

Im liking that fastback chevy alot.

[@alteredstateskustom]

Nice find That Fleetline is in better shape than my daily driven 50 Fleetline Mine sat in the bush for 20 years

[@sjp52047]

We had a 50 Chevy business coupe, but I have always liked this body style. It's called a slant back. All GM models had at least one slant back version including Cadillac. That is a very cool car! Great score Jonathan. Regards, Solomon

[@gpowerdragon9852]

The place is full of classic cars amazing

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Great car! They were called torpedo-backs ! I remember riding in my dads about 64 years back.

[@jocelyncritch8512]

Another oldie, great looking cars

[@darrellgoldsmith4638]

Wish I lived closer to you Jonathan. I help you all the time.👍

Welcome to Coldwarmotors southern addition:-)

[@m1greg125]

My Thoughts exactly!

[@bernieneufeld4297]

Yes, minus the "Herbal Enhancements" and Classic Darts.

[@paulstandeven8572]

The Fleetline is far too tidy for CWM! It's not even in a field.....

[@Hjerte_Verke]

What's Coldwarmotors?

[@bernieneufeld4297]

@@Hjerte_Verke It's a top secret KZbin channel that can only be found by typing in "Cold War Motors" in the You Tube search box.

[@NebukedNezzer]

I like the 50 chevy. they are comfortable riding and pleasant to drive. Like the 3 speed column shift but maybe someone put a truck floor shift transmission in it and that would be nice.

[@jtthill5475]

Keep on Keepin on. Save all the old iron you can, you may never see another opportunity like this one. Sure wish I lived closer, several of those cars I would like to restore. Triumph, Corvair, the MG, you know, the odd ball stuff. LOL Thanks for sharing.

[@brianjones4026]

Another Amazing car and future project..... cant wit to hear her run in the coming episodes ! Great Work as ever Fellas !

[@northernyeti8280]

Love the callout for Mustie!

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Me too, Sir.

[@rond5661]

That's a cool old chevy. My dad had one exactly like it when I was a kid, lol.

[@jameshicks4944]

Super Great, 3 videos, i really like that 50 chevrolet, just one worry Jonathan, that was one huge snake skin, and don't over do it and hurt your self or get to hot and get sick, we, your subscribers, we need you, be careful please, great videos, i appreciate them all.

[@williammcguire3rd]

Awesome! This has to be my favorite out of all you've got so far.

[@rdamp2374]

It Great that you are rescuing all the cars.

[@seed_drill7135]

The local Shriners actually get Model A jalopies like that running and drive them in parades. One of them passed and had his funeral at the funeral home across the street from work. That was the strangest procession you ever saw.

[@johnasbury7511]

Also I have to say I love your videos. Please take care of yourself Johnathon you remind me so much of my dad . I know he worked himself to death please don't let this be you my friend

[@ronaldcounts4119]

Jonathan: I sure am enjoying you pulling the lot of cars. So glad you were able to purchase them. My dad had a 39 Chevy!! It was nice to see this car. Keep up the good work. I learn a lot from watching you. Ronald

[@brwlegge]

The best part of your video was when you said "I tested my health today, I walked, I ran". Congratulations, you're well down the new road called better health!.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear bruce legge Unfortunately I overheard this. So thank you very much for reminding. Very good to hear that JWs health is improving step by step. Soo great that he quit smoking and that he has the discipline not to be addicted to that poisonous nicotine any longer. My deep respect to him. Best regards luck and health.

[@approsetn]

Nice! Be great to give the Corvairs a home, lots of nice build material. The first convertible looked pretty decent and the Monza is worthy!

[@forterierocks]

I love barn finds I just picked up a 75 L82 auto Vette that has been sitting in a shed since 93 when the transmission went away gonna be mine and my daughters project car

[@davidingling9791]

It's awesome you are trying to save these cars! I really like the 50

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Loads of gems there. Good to see them being saved.

[@78SilverBronco]

Reminds me of my 1950 Chev I pulled from a field a couple years ago. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!

[@daviddamico4288]

Love the 50 Chevy

[@sogdal1]

love this car, I had this model only a 52 back in the 70s. sure miss it. hope you do something with this.

[@reidbarnes9851]

The design of this car is really nice. There are a bunch of nice ones at that property

[@Wooley689]

Your pulling skills are exceptional to watch.

[@70charger13]

That fast back body style looks really cool.

[@mikahakkinen5651]

good morning here from sweden.nice to watch video with morning coffee.

[@saarcful]

Wowwwwww amazing design! Antiques worth millions dollars!

[@DannyWalker1949]

Back when these came out We called Em' ""Inverted Bath Tub's"" I had one of these that was in Super Great Shape in the mid 60's. WISH I STILL HAD IT👍🏻

[@heyoldman2003]

We called them “Slug Back Chevys” and were corrected by the “ old guys “ .. it’s a Fast Back son 😎. And a Citron too👍🏼 one of the most comfortable cars I have ever had, 4 speed ,4 banger Hemi 👍🏼👍🏼 great machine .. thank fir taking us along 😎

[@thxman1968]

The hell with with a bigger boat Brody, were gonna need a bigger lot!!

[@MrJeep75]

What a treat 3 videos in one day

[@papachubby1951]

Went to high school with someone who had a 51. We called it the 51 Camaro fast back. Original green color. Rode like a dream. Inline 6 with three in the tree.

[@x-man5056]

Had me wincing almost all the way through. All came out good in the end though. I can't believe you didn't mention the 62 Falcon Ranchero in your walk through tour though. Would love to resto mod that.

[@marvin984]

Hello Jonathan Looks like your friend had been collecting some good iron for a lot of years . I have notice that corvairs have been showing up at car shows and race tracks lately . Spiders are rare . But seen several with turbo V6 and V8 mid engine conversions .Marvin

[@yournamehere6365]

The hardest working man in the video business!

[@KEIFabrication]

Man than was a challenge! Well worth it from the looks of it! It's a good thing I am 1200 miles away because I would be all over those Corvairs! :)

[@butchc7650]

Really like to see you get that 46 to 48 Plymouth Coupe next to the Volkswagen bus love the videos and all the work keep them coming

[@howardkoster4026]

WOW! That 50ty Chevy really put up a fight! My cousin has a 50ty Chevy 4 door that's been in the family since new! It's like 98% original and he takes it to car shows.........There's a lot of cars there, I noticed you never mentioned the '60 Falcon Ranchero...Must not be worth anything, like the old Valiant's too. Nobody cars about the econo boxes...My first car was a '61 Falcon, 144c.i. Great on gas, that's it. It couldn't get out of it's own way for nothing....Jonathan, you are really great at getting these old frozen cars out of tight spaces!! Good luck with the 50ty Chev....

[@dennischalland5248]

love these field trips I need to find a barn like that.

[@darrenfarr4890]

Looking forward to this projects video. That 70s orange interiors gotta go JW and your just the man to do it. Cant wait...cant wait for the new Studebaker project as well.

[@johnmccormick175]

Love these videos,i had a 1950 pontiac similar to the chevy but mine was not a fastback (my first car)..tough old car almost indestructible considering the way i drove it :)...looking forward to seeing what you do with these amazing old cars ..thanks for sharing!

I love these videos but makes me wish I had more room for these projects. I just rescued a 76 Datsun 280z from a salvage yard but man oh man would I love to have some 1940/50s cars....maybe one of these days.

[@stoneshrink]

Love the green, I have a 50 Buick Sedanet that was the that color once....

[@notajp]

That VW bus is a Westfalia camper. Very desirable. Would love to have it! I had an orange one many years ago. Rebuilt the engine on my kitchen table.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

I love it especially because it is gorgeous green inside and outside and an automatic shifter. Maybe even the snake is kinda greenish?! Best regards luck and health.

[@imanutnur7]

You sure have more vision in these old wrecks than most.

Gotta love those old mid-century Chevy fastbacks.
