The. Grand National paint cracking was due to GM switching from solution lacquer to high solids lacquer in the 80's to reduce VOC emissions from the plants. Drove us nuts in the Olds dealer where I painted. Didn't find out til years later why we were having so much trouble in the repair process. The high solids did not have the elasticity that the old solution did. It was only a few years later that they went to urethane base/ clear systems that we got relief.

I notice in most of the Barn Find Hunter programs if Tom sees something that interests him, and the owner quotes a price, Tom will pull out his smartphone, go to the Hagerty site and quotes values for 'Poor', 'Good', 'Excellent' condition. Not once during this program (that I can recall) when he asked if something was for sale, and was quoted a price, did he make any comment about Hagerty values. Is that because there was no value in anything he saw, or is it because the value these gents were placing on these rusted hulks of metal far exceeded what Hagerty (or any other sane person) would value them at.

Apparently the guy couldn't afford 4 tires. She said you can have it.... If you can get off my property in 30 minutes. I asked her do you drink beer? She said she sure does. Well give me 45 minutes. I'll go get a six pack. It will give enough time for my buddy to bring the car trailer over. 30 minutes later put a new battery in it. Pulled the spark plugs, Put it in granny low, first gear. Turn the key. And walked it right up on the trailer using the starter. She asked me when she's drinking her second beer. Where you from boy? I said right here from Oregon. She said I've never seen that done before. Sweetest taste of Henry weinhardt beer i ever drank. And how I love those Granny low gears & Henry weinhardt.& little old ladies😊

Makes me sad to see beautiful old cars sitting out in the elements rusting away. Hopefully they'll find new homes and be brought back to life. That's a lot to deal with, but what a cool collection to inherit. I'm pretty sure nobody's leaving any cars to me in their will.

9:02...Dang, I was hoping you would mention that '53-'54 Mopar wagon. Our family had a used forest green '53 Plymouth wagon for 5 years during the '60's. My dad gave it to a neighbor kid before we moved out west. I remember him saying that it had rust (Ohio) on it. But you did mention that '56 Plymouth Savoy (6:25). Back in high school, I sold a barely running, but not too bad looking '56 Plymouth Belvedere to raise money for the high school radio station. It only sold for $35. And I heard that the new owner only wanted the front bumper off of it and was going to scrap the rest. For shame. That same car in that same condition would probably go for closer to $3500 today.

I have been "barn finding" for about 56 years, long before the term or the activity was popular and love helping people find their next toy or dream car. Interestingly enough I had stopped at this place a half dozen times over last year and occasionally years before that, but must have been shown around the property by who must have been these guys dad. No ... I think it was the fella with the beard as he is now spring chicken. He was an interesting character and enjoyable to talk to. I found his prices too high but I believe if you came in with some cash he would certainly entertain it. I only live 40 minutes from there. I am not done watching this yet, but I am surprised if you did not drive another 1/2 mile to highway 25 and turn left. About 1/2 mile toward Edgefield is a huge place owned by, as I understand, a dentist and he has overtake both sides of Highway 25 and has hundreds of cars there. here is a 62 Chrysler 300 2 door hardtop in the corner of the fenced in area. ANd he has 57 ElDorado Biarritz in the middle of that fenced area. I hope you went to see that one. You could spend a whole day there. I think I am going back to this one today for a nice drive and see what else is there. The fella i met there used to turn that inventory because I always enjoyed driving by and looking at what he had. I have my hands full but I love to help others find their new interesting project. I do vehicle inspections for the warranty industry and cover lower North Carolina, all of Georgia. South Carolina, east Alabama and Noth FLorida.There are many many wonderful places in South Carolina and I usually stop and check them out as I am going by.

Hagerty : Hagerty, please contact "Barn Find Hunter" Tom Cotter and tell him about this car. I know where there is a 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS 327, just slowing rusting away in a back yard. The car has not yet totally sank into the ground. On Saturday, November 9, of this year, a friend went up there to "inspect" the car. He told me the chassis is still good. He put a battery in the car and turned the engine over. . It did not crank. There was no gas in the system. He told me the head lights still work, but there are some electrical problems with the car. It is for sale. The car hasn't been driven in about twenty years. The car belongs to my sister's husband. Once again, it's a 1966 Chevy Impale SS 327. If I could win Power Ball, or Mega Millions, I'd buy the car myself and get it restored. I just love those 1966 big Chevy's. And I'm mostly a Ford man. If Tom Cotter is interested, my phone number is 850-263-6642. The car is located north of Slocumb, Alabama.

Get this.. when these cars were manufactured, gas was 15-20$ cents a gallon.. but ya used silver dimes and quarters.. even real nickel.. a silver dollar is now worth $24 .. twenty for DOLLARS.. gas cost $1.90-2.50 in the Midwest including .50 - 75 cents in taxes (these weren’t in effect back then) Soooo a silver dime is worth about $2.40.. gas is actually cheaper now.. do the math

When a very close friend passed away, his two sons inherited his huge classic/vintage vehicles salvage yard, in central Florida. They crushed/scrapped every vehicle that was in it and sold it all off as scrap metal. Million$ wasted just to get less than $100k.
