For the love of God get Tom to do some videos in Connecticut, I've been commenting the past 3 or 4 years, he comes here repeatedly for lime rock but doesn't do any video here when there's so much racing history and great hidden gems of cars people have

[@robbernath]

You already tortured viewers with this "offer" during the video as well as other ads - enough already!

[@catlee8064]

You need to go back and complete the search around this barn!! And the guy is amazing.

[@UberLummox]

I'm sure he did. This video coulda been 3 hrs. long!

[@scotmandel6699]

why do you know him personally to vouch for him? could be a total scumbag.

[@ajosephbaumhauer4071]

This could have been more than one episode. I would’ve like more 😊

[@Z-Bart]

For someone (me) that was in and around coal for 27 years, that 1909 coal truck is awesome!

[@misterwhipple2870]

Damn right. I like the phone trucks too. 28 years with the phone company.

[@tomrowe7534]

Tom, you’ve got to go longer or do multiple episodes with this awesome guy. I’d love to know his back story. Yard tour please. Keep up the good work. Guys like this motivate me to get more stuff

[@user-427.commodore]

Waste of cars they all should be on the road an driven....

[@tonykeast9966]

Wow! Not a long enough video, that guy and his vehicles deserve his own series. Thanks for tracking him down.

[@GearScar]

Todd needs a show of his own! Wow not only he's got an eye for great vehicles, but he also knows his stuff, and furthermore, if he says it'll start right up, he's right it does! Very impressed with his collection!

[@logancarter2134]

WOW!!! Tom is correct, a museum that's not open to the public. Fascinating historic vehicles.

[@Jimsathome]

There's a man who just loves vehicles. You can hear the joy in his voice when he talks about starting one up for you to hear. Thanks for the video.

[@chadkeller2144]

Incredible collection and Todd is such a cool, down to earth guy! Your persistence on this find definitely paid off!

[@VirtualGuth]

For nearly 30 years I was married to a woman whose father was one of 14 siblings that grew up in Western Maine. While together we made many trips out to New England to visit with her family. This video of you and Todd reminds me of the many times I got to spend visiting with her uncles still located in Maine. It was always a good time and their knowledge about all things mechanical was beyond impressive. I got to experience a number of local events like the Fryberg Fair (with some impressive vintage tractor pulls), local hot rod shows, and a classic car & tractor show to benefit the restoration of a water-powered mill that had been damaged by fire. Thanks for this video and the great memories it brought back for me.

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

Leno has a matching coal truck. I had a friend George, who worked for NJ BELL. He told me he walked across NJ behind a real truck like that one, using the poles to lift new telephone cables up, and onto the poles, then they turned around and wired them all into houses on the way back. Post WWII, just out of the Navy, and making 37 cents an hour!! He retired, 9 sons, and DiLs, a great wife, and the nicest guy you'ld ever meet.

[@sporty196071]

I would like to see much more of this collection. This is like a working museum. Them trucks are amazing, I have seen alot of old Ford trucks but never seen this many different types and brands in such great condition. Please show us more and more!!!

[@SnowDawg]

Wow - this was a great episode and Todd is a knowledgable and fascinating guy with eclectic taste. I actually believe this guy when he says he will finish all of these vehicles - he knows what he wants to do and has the talent to do it. Thank you Tom and thank you Hagerty.

[@doug81337]

Amazing collection and the guy is so happy to show them...he's definitely into the story and not the money! So cool!!!

[@JFEEZY419]

I could watch this stuff all day long I really wish these episodes were longer I can’t get enough thanks Tom for doing what you do

[@jameswampler4073]

Need another hour of this find Tom. Love it

[@budrohammbone2806]

Dang ! Todd is my kind of Hoarder ! The Seagrave chassis swap will be super cool. The Jeepster 'Dauntless' V6 is a stout little motor if massaged/warmed up on rebuild. Great Video Tom !

[@garagefabroart]

Todd is great. I can see myself being just like him in 20-30 years. Just a bunch of random vehicles and every one so interesting with a story. Great video!

[@digitalpunk88]

What an absolute treasure to uncover! Todd is an amazing down-to-earth guy and I really like his style. I could've spent hours and hours in there.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

That was fun. All the little things around the cars were starting to tell an interesting story of what Todd does for a living. Then when the cameras went outside....the story of the American Opportunity introduced itself. tHanks for a great tour and a fantastic video!

[@patbullard9276]

Another great episode. Thanks to your guest for allowing us to see and enjoy his collection and thanks to you Tom for presenting it to us.

[@seankeef9838]

Nice one Tom and thank you Todd. Bring on round two!

[@thomastrout9997]

Each episode seems to get better and better and this one is tops. Very nice job, everyone!

[@sayrerowan734]

This has been the best part of Hagerty on KZbin for quite a while.

[@yortomatic]

I've watched 99% of Barn Find Hunter episodes, and this one has to be one of, if not the best and most interesting episodes yet. You're right Tom, in saying that Todd is "one of the most fascinating people on the series", his tone of voice is a bit gruff, but he's a good guy who's unable to hide his enthusiasm when he talks about his collection. I could watch another hour or so of this guy (hint hint)

[@diversitycandle5708]

That tone in his voice is just how we talk in Downeast Maine. The Maine seacoast is full of salty old fishermen and people talking like that is just normal. It sounds like home to me lol

[@thekillercapricorn6334]

Would like to see more of this one. Todd is a cool dude for sure.

[@john_barnett]

Episode 2 of this fantastic slice of history please!

[@dangearhead2071]

Yeah, as averybody else has suggested, this requires another visit and another episode. What a cool guy..!

[@shoominati23]

People don't realise that Brass actually has a better coefficient of thermal efficiency than Aluminium, yes the Brass might weigh heaps more - but it also cools better. People should be actually sizing up when going to Aluminium, but I often see them use smaller units than standard and it's often not a surprise when they overheat..

[@johnlee8231]

What a great collection. I love that he has most of it running too.

[@bigdanwess]

Can't tell how much I enjoyed this...

[@dougeaton2446]

Man what a place!!! That 1908 autocar was amazing id love to see that in person

[@hamiam2243]

By far one of the coolest collections I’ve ever seen.💯😎👍👍

[@Ankur3108]

Wow❤. Just wow. So Charming,this old thing. She deserves all the love. Kudos to the owner.

[@frankfry4693]

I meet an elderly gentleman (99 years old), many years ago, that lived in NYC when younger. Amazing memory of the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, vacationed in Cuba, and had many amazing stories. The old coal truck reminded me of one of his memories,, he had a business hauling coal then after the invention of refrigeration in the spring he removed the beds of the trucks replacing them with insulated box beds to haul ice and then back to coal beds for winter

[@VintageCarHistory]

It took Selden some 25+ years after his first patent application (1879) to actually build a motor vehicle. It's quite a tale.

[@Vampirebear13]

WOW Tom !!! This was incredible & should be at least an hour long !!! I sure hope there will be a part 2, if not even more !!!

[@johnboydTx]

Agreed .. barley scratched the surface 😱 🤞 several episodes 😉✌️

[@FordTorino72]

19 minutes with all these vehicles was like a movie trailer 😄

[@Brian-uy2tj]

I like Todd, he seems like a down to Earth kind of guy, bright, knows his vehicles and comes across as very competent at whatever he does. This has been a great episode.

[@joeseamon4800]

Super Episode Tom and thanks Todd for sharing.

[@markwellington1254]

Hopefully that was just Part 1 and there is more to come from Todd! Funny no BS guy!

[@Lucas_Tulic]

You can easily make Parts 2 AND 3 based on the amount of vehicles this man has over there!! We need more!!

[@generalsnickers1]

WOW...Great episode. What a terrific knowledgeable guest. He obviously loves his collection. Thanks Tom..

[@michaelroberts1597]

One of the best guys you interviewed an some cool old stuff have never seen ! 👏

[@dalepritchard3335]

So awesome to have these vehicles still around. Thank you.

[@jennycothern6375]

Oh my gosh. Such class! 👍👍👍👍These come from times when the car industry made real quality and used solid materials.

[@Ed_Stuckey]

This is one of the most enjoyable episodes of any type I've seen on KZbin. 👍

[@SunsportAuto]

Nova Scotia resident here - I'll have to keep an eye out for his old Jeep on the road. He has quite the collection - interesting fella!

[@toadstompingoodguy4619]

Henry Ford was a great man of the American people I've grown up a Chevrolet guy but have a great admiration for Henry Ford and his work especially his writing the books he would leave in the glove box of the model T is one every red blooded American should read. Here's a Bellamy salute to Henry Ford o/

[@KyleAdams1]

Awesome, I didn't know you were from Boothbay, I'm from the area I've known Todd my whole life he has an impressive collection of old equipment too.

[@keithhooper5965]

Wow ! Lovely humble man ..proper not car guy automotive guy ..enjoyed the video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@funone8716]

As a machinist and industrial collector, the outside collection looks even MORE interesting! Todd needs to start his own YT channel. Start with a yard tour Todd! Air compressors and Cranes.......very cool

[@tsmith8567]

Thank you Todd for letting us see those!!

[@gittnjiggy2]

On that telephone truck I noticed an electrical Kearney someone mounted on the front vent just below the windshield (should be made out of red brass) and is used to clamp two wires together (don't know why someone would put that there unless they wanted to "ground" the truck while working in "hot" conditions, and those 3 poles for settting a telephone (power) pole are called Pole Pikes. Very nice collection!!

[@dejanzelko8361]

This museum is insane. So beautiful cars. And the men who own it is amazing and his knowledge is great. Great episode 😊

[@jimw1274]

Nice to hear the history from the owner.

[@Anonymous-zv9hk]

Great stuff! Thanks to the owner for showing you and us around.

[@rjl9707]

Great to record & film that man. So knowledgeable with history of each unit.

What an awsome collection and great guest.

[@brentmcmillan646]

This is one of the most robust collections that we’ve had the honor of seeing!

[@nadkram1]

Wow... That 1909 Coal Truck is soo cool. 👍

[@james3452]

You are truly one class act, Todd. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of YOUR world; and I have to say; it's clearly the kind of world I could live in. I wish you MANY more years on this earth; to continue your great love affair; with all those beauties.

[@CarlWithACamera]

That Harvey coal truck is not just a valuable antique vehicle. That’s a national treasure!

[@markrudolph683]

Thanks for going out of your way to get in there ❤

Fantastic installment! Sweet collection! Sweet, running, collection! Thanks, Tom and Hagerty!

Wow. This is amazing. Would really love to see a second video with an even deeper dive into this guys collection.

[@ScatPackRob]

Todd is an amazing guy with an amazing colection. Thanks for sharing.

[@UncleManuel]

These two dudes get along very well! What an awesome place of preserved history. 😎😎🤘🤘

[@bobrinck1]

That utility truck was an electric company truck. The village of Readsboro, VT ran it's own electric company.

[@chrisblore6385]

Two things 1. I would luv to spend a few days with him. 2. I’ll help him clean , organize, whatever he wants just to be there. Truly amazing collection…

[@kevinmckinzie]

"Those aren't mine". Great answer!

[@pangaute]

Those vehicles are incredible, kudos for having the foresight to put them away and save them

[@darrellasmith77]

Being that I live in Nova Scotia with any luck I'll see him driving around someday those are some really cool vehicles

[@7viewerlogic670]

Thanks to all for the great video!

[@hdbikerdave5835]

Absolutely amazing. Love this. Thank you for sharing!

Another great show, I like when they are longer like this, but I would watch for another 30 minutes.

What a lovely generous man.

Im glad there's people like this out there. Im only at the coal truck story and this is fascinating.

[@rixkafer56]

Awesome collection 👌 and his passion for these vehicles is what its all about.. thanks for sharing

[@olsonspeed]

Fascinating, the old iron is pure gold, thanks for sharing.

[@Yourmission9]

Okay so first, that ‘67 charger RT in B5 blue is my favorite of the bunch, secondly, this man is different from the rest, most of them say “yeah it runs” as it’s piled in half a century of junk on top of it. This guy says it runs and it does!

[@jean-pierrecayol4897]

Wow amazing! Beautiful trucks and cars, what a collection and a fascinating story! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@johnblood3731]

He has a great bunch of cars and trucks. And can drive almost all of them. Thanks Tom.

[@urbanurchin5930]

Years ago, I owned an old school bus with a Caterpillar 3208. It always started and ran very well - leaked some oil, but I think they all do. Every time I took it for service - oil change, etc. - the mechanics loved it and would talk it up for as long as I would listen. One guy told me that one of the uses was in river barge tug boats - due to the super amount of torque. Very reliable engine - one of Caterpillar's best !

[@OsbornTramain]

man, I didn't know you lived in Boothbay harbor? You should check out my hidden Collection in Augusta Maine....some rare and different stuff!

[@ajdahun]

Beetle/Karmann Ghia sportamatics were a 2- speed semi auto. When they worked, they worked good, when they didn't they were a PIA. They seemed to have more top end speed than the 4 speeds, probably geared higher.

[@palacefords]

What an absolute champion. Hopefully his kids will look after these the same way he has. That's the unfortunate thing with the generations today, they aren't interested in cars like these because they aren't 500hp rolling on 20s.

[@johnboydTx]

Outstanding 👏👏👏 I hope there's another episode with this collection 🤞🤞😉✌️

[@compt3ck]

That 63 Ford PU brings back memories. I had a 64 4X4 with a 460ci in high school. That was a good ol truck. Its amazing what is hidden in some of these backwoods garages.

[@maxboya]

That truck firing up made me smile! Incredible truck and runs like a top! Built to last no doubt!

[@nelsonbrown8036]

That was amazing to see he is an great person ! He has his kids cars and his own pretty cool ! Thanks Tom you should go back and look at some of those TRUCKS he has outside !!

[@skippygirl959]

Thank you both for sharing your time and knowledge. My heart would be beating out of my chest if I was there in person. What an amazing collection. I didn't realize that old work trucks excite me more the hot rods!

[@jrsgarage7623]

I love tinkering and conserving and restoring antique vehicles and equipment

[@HemiRoadrunner]

Hey I didn’t know you live in Maine. If you ever pass through Camden I’ve got a few old classics we can take out and blow the dust off. 61&64 Corvette’s 70 Hemi Roadrunner, 71 Camaro and a few modern ones too. BMW I8 911 Carrera oh and a Hinckley picnic boat too to get out on the water. 😊
