The Chevelle guy just needs a weekend and a few friends and that car would be back driving. I liked the vw beetle guy, he was honest and friendly.

Its almost a rarity that a Collector wants to sell old cars *at a reasonable price.* Good on that man for "wanting to sell it all." 👍👍👍

[@tonysemprul6248]

more like a junk hoarder instead of collector

[@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge]

I mean apart from the '39 Chevy I'd say the other 2 cars he mentioned prices on are a bit much. I'd say the old Ford is worth 'round $2000 and the Chevy Rot wagon $500.

[@snoopu2601]

Like he said you better know how to weld or have Automotive skills because just what I saw all of them need a lot of work. They would make good custom car's so if some one was to pick one up they don't have to hunt for parts.

Tom I’m a car enthusiast and I have a neighbor down by Galveston Texas, actually in San leon Texas, he’s an older man who quiet frankly has a hoarding addiction to many varieties of cars, from old MG models, Jaguars of all ages, Hudson’s, a packard, and studebakers! He’s a real welcoming guy especially if you have car knowledge and if you are ever in Texas he would be an awesome candidate to get some quality film history. I know it’s a long shot but I’ve been watching your barn find series for a very long time and I’d hate to pass on his collection even possibly having a chance to be unveiled by such an awesome and genuine car guru like yourself.

[@Kickinpony66]

Tom, I made a trip on Amtrac in 85 From Medford, Or. home to Minn. Amtrac didn't follow main highway routes much, so lots of great cross country travel. I saw hundreds of old cars on farms, ranches, and in back yards of small towns across Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota. I always wanted to make it a round trip, and kinda map them all out some how, and drive back car hunting some day..It was on my bucket list, but I got to old to do it.

Not true. !953 was the last year.Anything with a stick shift came with a 216. All else were 235's.

So my 52 is a 216

[@MrPanzerblitz]

@@michaeldavis6556 the side cover on a 216 is much longer (top to bottom) than a 235 and covers the spark plugs. It also has solid lifters. A 235's are hydraulic and the side cover begins below the head. The valve cover on a 216 have two bolts through the top of the cover while a 235 has screws all the way around the outside edge.

My dad sold it while I was in Vietnam in 1970 for $350 because it was just sitting at our house in Garden Grove CA (kept getting tickets to move it). I would love to get that car and restore it! So many great memories of drive-ins and beach trips in it. Please let me know if it's still available and the contact information (I never thought I would ever see one like it again). Great show Tom, keep them coming. I also have a 1953 Dual-Streak Pontiac Cheiftain that I am restoring.
