There will never be another era like the 50s Hot Rods and Rock and roll. If I could go back in time it would definitely be the 50s the age of innocence. Well so it seemed!

That's a find of a lifetime. Truly stunning! Wow.

Dude, we need to establish something: this is THE most underrated channel on KZfaq! Your editing and camera work is as fine as most big-budget Hollywood flicks, and your choices for music fits these cars you highlight to a tee. I really wish more people in our age (millennial, Gen Z) understood how bitchin’ classic cars are, but I guess that saves more rods for those of us who do get it. Regardless, keep up the good work!

This car couldn't have gone to a better person! This video gave me goose bumps.

Beautiful coupe. As a little note of interest, I don't know how popular a Shifano was but he did the interior, top and the tonneau on the Dean Lowe Roadster Pickup which was built in '59/60. The quality of that interior shows through as it has survived incredibly well. It has been owned by a good friend for the last 23 years so I have had the honour of seeing the quality workmanship up close.

WOW what a beautiful time capsule!!!! Definitely something to be preserved!!!!!!

OMG! It Lives! Definitely remember seeing it in an older issue of Hot Rod or R&C...Another One Saved!

Don’t chop it, restore it to 60’s condition and keep it. It will make a great story

What an amazing choice of songs and a stunning car. That's what I would play if I had a car like this treasure.

One of the coolest finds ever.

Great find. You never know what's hidden in barns and garages across the country.

Amazing story. Love the old hot rods more than anything else. When I was a teenager in the 60's I used to dream about California and all things like this.

FYI electric fuel pumps were common in the 50’s, often easiest way if no clearance for a mechanical pump. I had a Bendix electrical pump mounted in the trunk of my ‘47 Ford coupe, flathead with 3 97’s in ‘56, later with Cadillac later with Olds 324 - same pump. Pump was hard piped to block on firewall, hoses to carbs made swaps easier. Nice find. Wonder where my ‘47 is today - only had 12,000 miles on it when I sold it in ‘59.

Fantastic classic street rod,,,what a cool time capsule. Glad the owner is planning on leaving it as is.

If I had the means to have a traditional rod built this is the guy!

It most be so cool to owe that car man . All of that history behind it . I'm most sure that it was a show car back in the day .

I keep looking at this car, in fact it really hit me in the thumbnail so I clicked it. I'm not 100% sure, I seem to remember seeing this in either old an issue of R&C, from the late '50s or I used to have a book called "Grease Machines" published in 1978 that featured photos of customs from so. cal during the late '50s and early '60s. there's a group photo on one page that has a chopped and sectioned '32 5 window (obviously not your car...) and there were other '32's on the same page.for some reason the blue paint, the motor, and interior really rang a bell. the other '32s were 3 windows like yours I remember that. I know that's not much, but I hope it's a bit of a help.

The Holy Grail of hot rods! Far cooler than a '32 roadster, in my opinion! Those things are like belly buttons these days, with so many reproductions! But it doesn't get much better than a real-deal Deuce 3-window running a '39 Ford trans-shifter Olds! I'm 73 and have lusted after that combo all my life. A Caddy in there with a Cad-Lasalle top shifter would also be perfect! I'm very glad you're going to just clean, service and drive this car! Last of all, as you're lucky enough to have become the caretaker of this piece of history, you should show respect for the original owner/builder by not using the front end as a chair, and keep your butt on the seat and your feet on the pedals where they belong. I'm sure they'd appreciate it! Great find!

EPIC find............Could not have happened to a more deserving guy! Congratulations.ENJOY the ride.

Man I'm glad you got those cars Troy, you are the perfect custodian for them!

Glad you found it. Thanks for sharing.

wow-wow-wow, reminds me of my days of reading car craft, hot rod and rod and custom----great vid thanks,DF

Awesome 3 window

I can't wait to see this after Troy gets it road worthy.

Oh man I am so jealous,you are so correct in assuming it's a professional build ,very obvious from the work and degree of detail especially for the era it is out of.I think you are going to have a few surprises as you find the history of that rod.Your a very lucky fella great luck in the restoration of the car.

Wow! What a great piece of history!!

What a Neat Find. Hard to believe those cars sit for that long.

That’s the find of a century...👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Really happy to hear you're gonna keep it as original as possible. That is an incredible piece of hot rod history you have there. Maybe someday I'll get that lucky and find me a gem like such 🤣

I totally back you on your production and interest in the automotive world. More so your age and mine being similar while you love classic America much as I do! Glad to see this!

Great find keep it as found still will get many looks at any gathering

Mad Respect. 👊 Only touch what needs to be touched. They're looking down on you and she.

Thanks for showing. Reminds me of my grandpa's 34

All these guys have the Shifters to thank for getting in to this hobby

LOVE the channel! Love the cars, music and your videomaking skills are top of the line, greetings from belgium

Great story Ben. Love your film style keep up the good work, you’ll go far.

Wow!! You are a lucky man!! That 32 is so beautiful!!

Love this story

Fix what needs fix, replace bad rubber, wire, etc., fluids, get it safe and that's it. Sooooooooooooooooooooo cool!

My ‘59 Austin Healy Sprite came stock with an electric fuel pump. Lots of the other foreign sports cars had them too. Man you must have paid an arm and a leg for that Duece! Everything out there seems to cost twice what it does on the other coast!

I was born in 57 ..growing up in the 60s was great.. I have pictures of a 31 Ford w/ a inline flathead 6 with twin carbs that mom and dad dated in ..they would use it to tow what mom referred to as a "rail job" a frame with a seat and a flat head 6 to the drag strip.

That car may have been in some early HotRod magazine issues. Back then, that color would have been mind blowing. Fantastic car, I am very impressed. I do hope it stays just as it is.

what a collection wow

I wish I could find one of these in a garage ! Definitely restore it and it’s magic touches !

I have to believe you were destine to have this car and that's pretty darn cool. Been there myself. Enjoy

I meet Troy in Tennessee and he is a super nice guy! He is so talented. I'd love to go to California and hang out at his shop with him for a while to learn from him!

I had a tow bar made like that in the 60's, came with a 34 Ford i bought. Guess that was a thing back then. Nice score!

Once in a lifetime car

Wow what a garage ..dream on

A magical what was hot rod that looks like a picture out of an old hot rider mag ,,,,,, wow nice.... congrats on the ownership👍🏻

Man, what a find! And it's not even the story of a single car! That '32 is amazing, though, an absolute museum to hot rodding, untouched, in the late '50s and early '60s. Glad you were able to get hold of it and appreciate it for the unique piece of speed history that it is!

Looks like shes in good hands 🙌

electric fuel pumps were often used because ford flatheads were bad about vapor locking. the factory located the fuel pump on top of the engine, at the back , so in the summer they were bad about vapor locking. i remember my dad and i pushing his brand new 1951 ford hardtop, down mockingbird lane in Dallas,Texas on a hot sept. day. he was mad.

What an awesome find

AMAZING VIDEO...GREAT MUSIC...GREAT CARS...

Really cool, an understatement you lucky dog.

I would very carefully get that baby restored to 1961 condition, and drive the wheels off of it. Such an amazing find! You lucky lucky guy!

WUNDERSCHÖN !!! THX

Amazing find, such a time capsule, couldn't have landed in better hands...get off the fender Troy! ...lol!!!!

What a great barn find!! Enjoyed this video.

Man what a great car

Need more please make more it was awesome

Gorgeous.

WOW. I have no other words.

Brilliant story... brilliant car. Anyone think this guy looks and sounds like Lars Ulrich?!

Holy shit a 1934 Edsel Ford 😍😳

So awesome!!

Beautiful. If you drive it the Banjo will break. Maybe have a 8/9” contingency ready. 🙏

Great find! Nice car, with its own story. Hope we'll see more ... :)

you guys are well lucky over there,you get all the best stuff

that's a cool car, wish I could find one like that someday

America has the coolest cars, and best finds, ( I live in England )

Damn ben that's what's up !

Sitting on that front fender makes me nerve wracking

I'm old,everytime is saw a hotrod in the 50's and some from the 40's they always had multi carb setups,most of the real cool ones had 6 deuces or 3 deuces,and they always had see thru fuel line to watch the bubbles

Great video guys.... Paul anka and Santos and Johnny really sets the mood for this rare show rod..... songs that you would of heard on the am radio... Cruising this gem in 1959/60 in so cal. Got to say though... The car looks familiar... not magazine familiar though.. I swear I saw a pic of this from Larry Watson before he passed away awhile back.... I pretty sure he had nothing to do with it.... But possibly a renegades car???... Just a thought

I wonder if somewhere in Pat Ganahl's archives, there is a picture (or pictures) of this back in the day. Too bad we have lost Pat, one of the greatest historians of vintage and lost Hot Rods and Customs.

Wow like opening a time capsule very cool that you got them.

Just my opinion..... I know without a doubt I would do everything possible to restore this car to the show condition it was when built/parked. Right down to the paint which I would assume is nitrocellulose lacquer. I don't think acrylic lacquer was available yet. I know lacquer is not popular anymore and for good reason. But you only get 1 shot at bringing this car back intact as it apparently was. It would be absolutely amazing to anyone who knew what was done.

This video is awesome

maybe this one has been in hotrod magazine ,worth to check it out

Your photography is so good man, Nice job

Love the music and the car

Just seen this video! Kwwp the car man! Itll forever have its history! Would benice to have it a generation pass along vehicle. And this reminds me of the movie American Grafitti! Awesome! 🔥🔥🎶🎶

@0:38 Woah woah woah woah!!! Was that a 1934 Edsel Ford's Special Speedster replica?

my '51 ford compared to this is new but it was parked in '74 and the amount of time capsule stuff dating all the way back to 50s and 60s were amazing.

Nice video and classic car!👏👍

MAD COOL BRO.

Kid you got talent!

I have the same feeling as Tommy Mills --- I really feel that I remember the 32 from one of my Magazines. loved it then and still do ! ps i'm NOT LINDA (my wife)

Yes please.

That '32 is a chariot of the gods!

Outstanding

Love that patina 'ed ice blue paint job. Don't repaint it just buff it out.

What an awesome & lucky find . they are true time capsules from the past . Did you have mice or rat's damage ? We have a 1969 Caprice two door with red interior stored in a barn for over 30 years and mice ended up getting inside the glove box and the inside of the rear bench seat. It's cleaned up now but the smell was bad when we dragged it out of the barn. We also have a 1967 Dodge Dart two door with a crate 360 ci engine, headers, Holley 750 carburetor and some sort of speed link automatick on the floor . I love great finds like these. Basicallythe cars are complete but they need hell of elbow grease 😎 in it

I would say the former engine was a 409 with a 6x2 carb setup. That was the hot ticket circa '59-'60. Love this car!!

Fantastic video!

Cool car... great guy to own it now.

Such an amazing find. Really nice camera work
