Very cool episode, but it makes me sad that all of those cars will rot into the ground before they ever get done.

Charity or something to encourage new blood in the hobby. So much good can come from it. He'd said something a good home in Kansas for a good cause. I want to see that! This was an amazing video. Finnegan and many other channels do the low budget build's of stuff of their own taste. I know how many people have comments on how you see it all time and it's not untrue. As a kid before car's took over my life I met an old guy who was a neighbor of a guy who I stayed with for a vacation and he collected steam engine's in Pennsylvania and when he died and they auctioned off his collection people came from other continents! Enjoy it before you die!

The guy with all the cars and trucks, I’ve seen this story playout so many times, he never gets around to getting anything really restored, and then he passes on and the kids see nothing but money and they try to sell everything for more than it’s worth, when if the guy would of sold some of them to fund a few projects he would either have a nice collection of restores cars, or a pocket full of money from restoring and selling.

@David Watson If he sold a few, he'd have the money to finish some projects. There was a 'reality' show called "Lords of the Car Hoards" that dealt with people like this...

[@lmccluer]

I’ve seen these kind in Kansas. I used to be a volunteer firefighter. One day I was off my regular job, and my pager went off for a possible house fire, just three miles from my house, in the country. When I went to get in my truck, I looked North and saw a column of smoke, dirty gray in color. A typical cookout for structure fires. I was there before the trucks arrived, and the house was already completely engulfed. However, that wasn’t all that was on fire. This place has hundreds of different kinds and makes of cars. Old ones, not so old ones, cars, trucks, convertibles, antiques, you name it, and it was probably there. And probably a quarter of them were already burning. No fire hydrant, although there was a water tower about 3/4 miles away. We all hoped upon hope and prayer that the resident, an old guy in his 70’s, a widower, wasn’t there. However, we found out he was there, and had been consumed by the fire. After all was said and done, his house, garage, two barns filled with cars, and likely over 100 cars, were either completely burned or so damaged by fire, they basically was trash. They had an auction if you want to call it that, for people that wanted some of the bodies for other restorations, but I Sunny think any of them brought more than a hundred, and that was few. Some were just dragged out and hauled away for free, what was left was picked up by a salvage owner for $25 apiece. The sad part was, this guy was just like the last guy. Bought ol all these cars, with intent to restore them,, got carried away, wife died, daughter lived in NC, I believe, the guy had let the house and the other buildings insurance lapse, let life insurance lapse, despite the daughters plea to let her help him, and to sell the cars so he would have some money, and move next door to her and his son-in-law, in a house they owned as well, rent free. Instead, they ended up paying to have everything bulldozed and hauled away, and ended up selling the land for way under what it would of if the dad would have listened to her and some of his friends that kept trying to help him. I’ve seen other people the same way, just like this. This guy will end up dying, and leaving it to someone else if there is, just as we all saw it. What a waste of someone buying some of them and reassuring them. But, that’s his choice.

With boomers in heavy die-off mode and only a tiny percent of younger guys having the ability (let alone the desire) to own classic muscle, their values will simply continue to drop. Too much supply, while demand dries up equals big losses. So NOT saving every one might actually help stave off some of those loses... Sad.

[@SwapPartLLC]

What makes you think he can't afford to fix them? He clearly has plenty of money. As OMGWTFLOL said, his gratification is in acquiring them and just knowing he has them. Even if he restored them, I doubt he would ever let them go. Having Haggerty come by and appreciate everything he has and not try to buy any of it is probably the highlight of his year.

[@MrCoffeekelly]

John Deveney oh I'm sure he could afford it. Did you watch the whole video?? The people that can't afford it are all the crybabies in the comment section.

[@garyhope2]

I wonder if this guy will ever finish anything before he drops dead. I doubt it.

"This is the rarest car I own"......... in here with the livestock.....

[@billiondollardan]

This guy must expect to live 200 more years. That's about how long it's gonna take him to get a car done

[@gggallon]

If this guy had 200 more years, he would continue buying cars to add to the rust pile. He isn't collecting to restore, he's collecting so you can't restore.

[@MasterWitchDoctor]

better keep tabs on this guy cause the day he kicks the bucket his family is going to have a huge estate sale

[@IYOUNGBLOOD19]

my thought exactly

[@kaiser98berlin]

Probably but don't forget he got a son whose into camaros but doubting to go into restoration. Y'all start befriending him and his son before the bucket is kick out of him.

[@TheRgregor455]

They will rust to the ground before that happens.

[@jamese.morris2891]

Yep,,I was thinking the same. In fact i'd say they already have plans for their share of the money.It'll be another Lambrecht.

[@localturbo2969]

Im good friends with this guy. Trust me his family isnt going to do that. They all have a home

[@Taz6688]

Heartbreaking to see so much left to rot, "Not for sale" "I am starting work on that soon" "Its a project I will be doing that next" all will be sold when he dies, still unfinished.

[@yamstar1johnson991]

It's not right to let the GTO just sit outside in the weather. Five more years, or less, and it will be worth zero

Paul Simon Same, this guy is a disgrace to car people.😭😔

[@---cr8nw]

Watch JunkyardDigs or Thunderhead289. Those guys appreciate old cars. They don't fully restore them, but they get them up and running and they drive them. Young guys who aren't wealthy love these old cars WAY more than an old rich guy.

[@CallMeMrX]

"I won't sell anything, I just buy classic cars in decent condition then let them rot outside."

[@jeffreyb6165]

"Just dont ask if anything's for sale" That there is the common thread with so many of these car owners, and the reality is....one day he'll pass away and they'll still be sitting there deteriorated even further and for someone else to deal with, and often times the siblings follow the same model as the one that left those classics behind.

[@1gatomon]

Rick os one of thoes guys that buys up all the cars and sits on them till he dies.. Keeps lots of the ones wanting to restore them from getting good cars. hes not an unkonwn person in town

[@ftby59mikeD]

@jen106 I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect to your grandfather & I'm sorry for your loss. It was just that the car community is generally made up of good people with a passion for seeing the potential of his collection. It's sad that some don't have the potential to appreciate one man's passion, even if it was to just collect. Again, sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace.

[@hotrodfarmer6308]

Someone will get these gems one day at his estate sale, sad to see all these treasures rotting away

[@Freedomquest08]

Well hopefully he keeps his paperwork in order because that can be a nightmare. I recently bought an estate car that I had been trying to buy for over 20 years, and then they couldn't find the title. In the end I had to do a title search, then chase down the guy who had last titled/registered the car in 1977, then talk him into getting a duplicate title so he could sign it over to me to get the title straightened out. Lucky for me he was a nice guy.

[@hotrodfarmer6308]

Freedomquest08 wow, lucky for you ... so what would happen if the guy had passed on to the car gods?

Although these shows are great. And I mean GREAT! The recurring theme here of automotive history languishing in the hands of “collectors” is sad and maddening.

[@birdmasterthecaffeinatedowl]

Exactly. The term "collector" meaning people just letting them rot and refusing to sell

[@richardanderson5743]

It is so heartbreaking to see these people over and over again who don't see these rare vehicles as something to be preserved. It's all about hoarding and saying I got this, I got that .
