Visit us at www.Hagerty.com ---- In this episode of "Barn Find hunter," Tom was driving down side roads in rural Maine and stumbled upon a property that had vintage gas pumps and signs outside, which is always a dead giveaway for anyone looking for Barn Finds. Turns out, Charlie, is a huge Pontiac and International collector who happens to have some really rare cars in original condition.

At last a guy that has a collection that isn't rotting away in a field. I like that all of them are runners and not trailer queens. This is the kind of collection you can take out on the road and really enjoy owning instead of just staring at like museum pieces.

Could be the coolest episode yet! Charlie is an amazing guy, his passion and knowledge are infectious! My old man was a Pontiac guy, bought a new one every four or five years, beginning in 1950. Thanks Tom and crew for what you do.

I "rescued" a '67 Travelall from a small town near me and put some work in to get it running and stopping. A 304 V8, Auto, 4x4 with the factory AC upgrade and a build sheet to show it was a true survivor. Same Apache Gold that this gentleman's is. Sold it to a local guy who was going to finish restoring it and drive it. So incredible how stout that 304 is and how darn good it ran even after sitting for over two decades.

Yeah, a Pontiac story! I also had a 77 Can Am. The scoop on the hood has "T/A 6.6" which is the Pontiac 400 motor. If the scoop has "6.6 litre", it is the 403 Oldsmobile motor (which you had to get in California).

I really enjoyed this video. Many vehicles I can relate to, and the owner is one of the nicest you have ever shown. I could tell you enjoyed your time there. I always liked International trucks, and Pontiac's myself. The 1965 and 1966 GTO's were my favorites.

Charlie is another example of what it is to be a good *steward* of old cars. Tom is correct - "car guys" just hit it off from the get-go, no matter the locale or brand loyalties. I love the accent, makes me want to have some "lobstah" too. 🙂 Tom and Davin continue to be the best Hagerty has to offer. Love both of their work. - Ed on the Ridge

You skipped the Sunbird! That was my first car. My grandpa and his brothers all ran Internationals on their farms up in Northern Maine. Wish I had some of them. They had a family junk yard that I loved to play in. My goal is to have an old international harvester like the farms used.
