Love the cars but I think “barn find” is stretching it. This is just a collector that leaves his vehicles sitting under cover without really doing anything to them. A real “barn find” would be one that someone parked and then forgot about and it turns up later after the relatives bury him. Cool video but I think like most reality TV it’s staged and scripted.

In May of 1991, in Charlevoix Michigan, Ipurchased a group of cars that included a barn-find 1970 Plymouth GTX, originally equipped with a 440 Six-Barrel, Four-Speed, Air-Grabber Hood, Trac Pak, in Hemi Orange, with a White interior, and a Black vinyl top. The other cars that I had to buy to get the GTX included a ‘70 forest green GTX parts car with a Air-Grabber hood, a 1972 340 B-5 blue Cuda coupe, and a 1970 383 Charger SE. Iiterally had to remove a huge pile of various pieces of lumber off the GTX so Icould air-up the tires, which miraculously held air, to drag the car into the daylight which it hadn’t seen for over twenty years. The GTX came with a New Old Stock left fender, NOS side marker lights, and a NOS hood-mounted turn signal indicator. What a car that I ultimately sold years later, recovering my spent money.

Once I went on a barn find expedition and found a barn with a complete other barn inside of it. When I looked in that barn, there was a barn in there, etc. etc.

Needless to say the farm was owned by a Russian couple.

I had a Dan Gurney Comet for a short time. Guess you could call it a field find. Pretty much a rust bucket and I bought a Torino to go along with it for rust repair panels. Got em both for $300 and sold them for $2000 because we ended up moving and I couldn’t take them with me. Don’t know if the buyer ever fixed up the Comet but if he did, that would have put the value at around $30k.

Enjoyed every minute of that.

Thanks for the break from what has been a day of vomit inducing media/politics.

What a guy, what a collection.

These things are enough to drive you buggie.

Why does he keep all of those cars?

He’ll never do anything but walk by them until the day he dies.
