Hey, Hagerty. If you’re going to put so many sponsors in, disable the other pop up ads. Barn find hunter,redline rebuilds are good shows, but these constant ad interruptions are obnoxious & have ruined the experience. Now I understand why Tony Angelo went his own way. You’re ruining a good thing, trust me. If I’M taking the time to point it out, a hundred other people have just quietly unsubbed.

I hate to be a pedant, but those were hubcaps from an 80's Ford Fairmont on that Lancer. Also, the "style elements" in the roof are there primarily to provide stiffness to an otherwise flimsy flat panel of sheet metal. While they may be styled to look a certain way, that panel would cave in like a piece of paper without the creases. Like you Tom, the Lancer was the car I would take from his collection, no matter that it was probably the least valuable! I love every Barn Finds video I watch!

Dad was a Chrysler guy; I grew up driving both the 1957 Chrysler 300C and a 1960 300F. Mom drove the 300 C which was Bermuda pink and a convertible, that was her daily driver. I would take that out cruising all the time it was great on gas mileage it had a progressive linkage which was only running off of two barrels of the first four-barrel carburetor. The 392 is a great engine, the car was pretty heavy and in my opinion wasn't a great drag racer you kick in both those dual quads in at around 70 mph and you were up to 130 mph within in seconds. Same was for Pops 413, he would run 80 to 95 in the desert all day long, scared me to death. Thank for the flash back ... good luck with the restoration.

Mick, and his ilk are saviors who prevent the classics from being turned into modern Korean appliances. Yes, it may be years before most of these cars are made road worthy, if ever. The fact is, they still exist. I am grateful there are caretakers of old vehicles scattered around the globe who have the foresight to hang on to them for following generations to admire and enjoy.

Not sure the Fonz ever actually rode either - pretty common for production companies to have multiple examples to make sure shooting isn't delayed just because something happened to the car/bike. Famous story about Henry Winkler being put on a an HD Superglide for the first bike shot in the series with Fonzie, and Henry dumped the clutch and chucked the bike under a production support truck. That was the last time Henry ever sat on anything with a running engine. The Triumphs came into the picture just because they were so much lighter than the HD. The more ya know.

My rule is if it'll keep up with todays traffic keep the original engine and as my 31 Hudson 8 does so would that Hudson. Cars with non brand engines no value to me.

Lots of cars, lots of ambition, and lots of money needed just to get the cars running again; not to mention actually roadworthy. Neat collection, but im afraid that some of the other comments are correct that he will never get to many of these. Hopefully he will allow the care to be passed to someone else who will enjoy and complete the process. We are all just caretakers and it is up to us to get the hobby to the next generation.

My first full time employer had a 63 Chrysler New Yorker with those funky headlights and the rectangular steering wheel. It was also the oldest car I ever saw with factory cruise control. Fabulous car to drive.

The guy moved and set up entire houses, barns, and buildings from all over the region. Spending a week or two to get running and in some shape to then sell to a committed restorer is what he said most of them were for. He may live another 30 years, who knows.

@@Smarterthanyou-mthrfkr nope, just dropped a fresh 400 in my 81 Bronco for 2,200. I suppose if you have to pay people to do things for you the price could get out of hand. If that is the case you probably shouldn't be trying to "collect" older vehicles. It is for people who do everything themselves or can afford to pay. If you aren't one of these people you have no business hoarding cars.

I have to agree with many of the comments here that this entire collection is rusting away to nothing and these vehicles deserve a better fate than being hoarded in such awful condition. Hopefully many of the classic ones are not too far gone. I've never understood the mindset of this type of collector. I've seen other Hagerty videos showing people with dozens of cars stored in the open elements with small trees growing up through the engine bay and the owner says proudly..."This is my 1962 blah blah blah..." They own what is quickly becoming scrap metal, not classic cars. I don't get it.
