I have been checking on these cars for a decade. It was ten years last week that I made a rash decision to drive south and document a large quantity of barn finds. Not just any barn finds, but some of the rarest cars you can find, the aero warriors of NASCAR world. Also a few Hemi cars thrown in for good measure!
Thankfully they aren't in that old barn or converted mobile home anymore. And most are running and driving!
Any comments or questions, let me know!

G'day Ryan, What a great story following this incredible collection over a 10 year period. Great work in your persistence, & the owner staying the course & knowing what he wanted & building that barn & living his dream giving this incredible collection the home they deserve & finally driving them. Sorry to hear about your friends passing my condolences he sounded like a great guy. Now you look after yourself waiting for you to come to Australia 🇦🇺. Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 👍 🇺🇸

I owned a Superbird in very early eighties. Even in those days, they were valuable. Buying a six pack bird was still an expensive purchase. The man had some coin to buy these vehicles, even then.

Fredsiegfried - Not the case at all. People collect what they like to collect. In this case he saved these classics in a barn and I can pretty much guarantee you every one of these will be bought out by other collectors and put back on the road or into other collections . These could have been crushed or rusted out years ago but instead they were saved.

@@gaspumprob on another channel I'm having an ongoing conversation with a woman who is an empath healer. I find it interesting. I didn't say I believed in that stuff as a matter of fact as I told her I'd run from that stuff. I can use bigger words but that pretty much gets my point across. But I ran across a Rikki healer. She didn't want to let go of my hand. Some kind of reading or something. A vibe. I guess that happens outside of California as well 🤣🤣🤪

@gaspumprob 3 ай бұрын

FUBAR896 Who said vultures? The cars themselves bring much interest because they are highly sought after by collectors. I don’t think anyone will be taking advantage of the unfortunate situation . Just part of the collecting cycle-we buy, we collect, we pass , then the next caretaker comes to take over.

Ryan, I have an episode out this week on our channel highlighting this same collection, in its current condition with many of these cars back in running condition. I mention mid-way through our episode that you first highlighted this collection many years ago. Thanks for sharing this again.

None are sitting to rot out. They are actually well preserved and I guarantee you every one of these is going be back on the road in a matter of time. This was a time capsule
