Worst GTO Ever: ALL-IN ONE Holey Goat 1970 GTO BUILD SAGA - 23 Episodes Condensed to Under 1 Hour!

[@joshstabler3438]

This is EXACTLY what you think you’re going to do, when you find that old car in the woods, when you’re like, 10. Really enjoyed this, and the Cragars and side pipes are perfect.

[@dunadan57]

I'm 40 and I still think I wanna do this to every abandoned, bullet riddled heap I see in a paddock 😅

[@iancryar6431]

I’m 47 and I feel the same way but luckily I date girls who aren’t into cars so it tempers my need to do it.

[@ryanchenier-poulin8570]

So true! You nailed it Josh, for Every boy whose been in the woods. Like me. 😎👍

“Makes it a lot harder for the next guy, but that’s me and I hate the guy” me every time I work on my own vehicles 😂😂

[@britknowles6530]

This is awesome. I'm a Pontiac guy. I have owned 5 GTO's and one Firebird. This is my favorite project I have ever seen and you are a riot. Thanks for making my 68 yr old Butt laugh and have fun for a little while

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Glad you found some value here!

[@VintageandVoltage]

I saw this in my feed, and had to click on it. I saw that is was nearly an hour long, and thought "ah, I'll skip the boring stuff, and see what happens at the end." I started the video, and have been GLUED to the screen for the whole thing. Didn't skip a second, and subscribed immediately. And before it was over, I paused it so I could share it with all my friends. This is absolute gold tier entertainment! Very well done, sir! I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I am insanely jealous of that car! I want one too!!!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

That's awesome, glad you dig it

[@VintageandVoltage]

@Mike it's true! He's a great personality. I see this channel going far! I would LOVE to see this guy get hired by Motortrend... I feel like he'd fit in perfectly with the Roadkill guys!

[@brunowilimek2046]

I love this series. I laughed out loud when you “aged” the trunklid.

[@VintageandVoltage]

I laughed hysterically, and uncontrollably, for a good 2 minutes! That was gold.

[@daletheroofer7403]

I did too. 😂😂😂😂

[@jesusg607ify]

This series was my first glimpse into your channel. I’d be a shit faced liar if I said I didn’t enjoy every bit of it. Well done I hope to be able to do something like this with my son one day. You’ve certainly inspired me to that’s for sure.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Awesome!

[@ModelA]

Cragars, side pipes, AND mirror aviator sunglasses. You have it all, my man!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@dentron9885]

I love that you saved the original cactus in the car and took it to the car show. Im restoring an ol 85 300zx myself rn but this is a whole other level of cool

[@austint7533]

This is seriously what everyone claims they’re gonna do, but actually never winds up doing 😂 I really enjoyed actually seeing it happen

[@JOHNKESSLER88]

Never in a million years did this car ever think it would have new paint on it again,it won the lottery among the other cars in that yard for sure.

[@jonathanz4987]

I was just introduced to this channel by Kevin from Junkyard Digs. So glad he made that pit stop by your place! I really enjoyed watching this truncated build! I can't wait to watch the full episodes! Holey GOAT! Perfection!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@anicekid]

Also from jyd but I've found my new favorite, pbg

[@koyooko5160]

I love that everything shakes just enough to warrant your attention but not enough to be fully convinced it's a problem

[@mz6364]

UK here. My evenings have been stolen by your videos. Agree with all comments. The video work is also remarkable and clearly a massive part of your time. The dry humour and ‘unintentional’ sharp scene edits and timing, particularly when talking is nothing short of magic, almost a new genre.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thank you!

[@reggiekenner1527]

As an old shadetree mechanic, I loved every minute and laughed out loud so many times. Nice work. Oh....the cactus was just the best.

[@Martin.Wilson]

"Back in the old days before everything sucked...". Brother, you nailed it.

[@xxangelscenexx247]

31:33 That right there is putting the stamp off ‘MERICA On That Thang! Love It..

[@claztube]

@15:35 🤣 ...rerunning this compilation this evening and the traffic cone-head bit, broke me up. Because I've seen the Holey Goat now on the road in your videos, looking back at where it all started from, it's hard to imagine this mangled, bullet riddled Pontiac could ever be road worthy-esque. But as you said, '...I will get this done...' and by gum, you did!

[@MikeWatt-u4w]

I had forgotten how it all started! Truly love this!

[@bradman4]

I knew in the first 5 minutes that this is the automotive perfection I've been looking for all my life. The way you're passing on such skills to your son will make him a car person genius. I would have loved to have seen him drive that masterpiece too. I've subscribed now so thanks for your time mate, I'll be spending some time looking over the rest of your shows. I got put on to you by the no nonsense bloke. Learning about stuff is important, I'll be watching more.

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thanks man! Chris is great

[@terra2805]

Nothing but props to you man. The fact that you got that thing running and back on the road at all is a small miracle. It still baffles me how a 1970 GTO could end up like that in the first place but I suppose it's easy to say that now we're not in 1974 when they were on every street corner. Lol. BTW, you're commentary is just utterly hilarious!! I laughed out loud so many times, spat my coffee all over my new pressure washer once or twice too. Brilliant my friend, just brilliant! 👌

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Thank you!

[@UberLummox]

Judging by the bent roof pillars, It was likely rolled, and got parked because of that.

[@1991ADIS]

Loved this series. Watched the whole series and definitely well worth the watch. Especially if anyone is curious how certain things came together more in depth.

[@rickc303]

Missed opportunity for "hole" series 😄

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

The elevated roadway chase section at the end was perfection... Though I will admit I was looking close to see if there was a tow strap behind that Honda Pilot 😆

I figure they were wondering what the hell I was doing back there lol

If only they had youtube when I was 17. (now 57) You remind me of me back then. Totaled Monza spider, only about 2 feet tall because a lifted F150 landed on it in a wreck in the snow. With a 262 cu, in, 8500 rpm v8. Buddy said you can have it if you pay the impound fees. $327.00. 72 Vega, left side caved in 2 inches and blown aluminum 4 banger, $50. End result, side caved in V8 Vega with 12.7 eta, 147 mph top end. For $800. Traded straight across for 76' HO Trans Am with blown engine, 243 rear end gears and caved in passenger door. A few parts off another totaled 76 Trans Am and a few engine parts, 167 mph top end Trans am for only $1000 more. I never got around to fixing the bodywork on either one. Those where the days. Love your video!

[@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192]

This has to be one of the most awesome builds ive ever seen. Your sarcastic dry humor would fit righ in with me and my car buddies here in MD. I like the fact that you gave life to a car that most would stick their nose up in the air at a project like this. Love it. P.s. im a 70 gto owner myself.

[@slowshedgarage7409]

I still think my favorite part is the hood for the trunk pan.

[@danr3778]

Just want to say that after my beautiful reliable 2003 buick lesabre was totalled taking my kids to school, my wife and I looked for a replacement for 2 months. The very last day before I had to turn the buick over to the insurance (it was still being driven) we found a very cute 2010 ford focus in that cool looking Ford Blue color. The front seats had a lo of ass time in them and were stained but comfortable so the previous owner threw some seat covers on that did not match the car at all. We've grown to like them though. Imagine my surprise to see you've chosen the same covers!! Just thought that needed to be shared! Awesome build, and im thankful to have stumbled across your channel!

[@CraigOffTask]

Laughed my butt off when he threw the trunk lid into the pond and it stuck straight up in the mud. 🤣

[@claztube]

Yeah, that was a definite LOL moment. Then after inserting it in the trunk with its camo finish which was '...hard to see' another, LOL subtle quip.🤣
