Hope you can save her Wizard.

Do your magic

Wizard can't wait to turn wrenches on this one...gotta test drive to make sure she's good to go.

I've picked up a couple cars from estates or folks letting go of their collections because they can't take 'em with when their time comes. In all cases, the seller has been happy to have their prized car go to the next caretaker; someone who will enjoy and look after the car and hopefully not just hoard it away, let it rot, or just flip it. They know when it's going to a good home, and that makes them happy.

@@gtoger My thoughts exactly. Those folks looked happy to see people who will care for them as they did take them to their new home. What a beautiful Vette!

@@gtoger You know Hoovie is just going to flip it, right?

@@gtoger Yes...

@@spearfish I don't think he'll do it. Unless he's really desperate for money.

Damn good idea.

Am I the only one who got the impression the previous owner was dead?

@@Koolicyde no. But I wonder now when she said, “before he got sick”. But then again if he was just sick, one would think he would hold onto those cars. First impression was probably correct.

yeah, like he would do that............lol

good idea

yeah, what a "barn"

And I’m sure it was parked up there last week. Not 5 yeara ago!

A barn find is a classic car, aircraft or motorcycle that has been rediscovered after being stored, often in derelict condition. The term comes from their tendency to be found in places such as barns, sheds, carports and outbuildings where they have been stored for many years. The term usually applies to vehicles that are rare and valuable, and which are consequently of great interest to collectors and enthusiasts despite their poor condition. -Wikipedia

@@videopyc so yeah, this car isn’t a barn find then.

Well Tavarish would call it abandoned.

I agree.... Her poor husband.

We are only brief custodians of these trappings of life. At least this one was well stored. I hate seeing the actual barn finds where some old guy has 20 wonderful cars rotting in the mud for 20 years.

as explained elsewhere, he has Alzheimer's and doesn't know what's going on. Sad but now the cars can go to someone else that will appreciate them.

Hahaha sucks to suck

@@619guy202 Calm down there Hitler

_Indeed._

Automotive Infinity Stones

@@genociderjill infiniti stones

@@matthewdennett267 no it’s infinity

I can't even find the treasure hunt hot wheels, imagine the real deal.

The beauty of having an online presence. Many thousands of people know he is the real deal, knows cars and has cash. So they call when they have something. This isn't surprising.

i was gonna say the exact same thing. unfortunately "barn find" is just a worthless catch all term for wasn't on the road when purchased

And I'd bet a car like that hadn't been "forgotten":)

Right.. just watched Ratarossa looking at Ferrarri 308 that had been "resting" since 1987.... This is a dud, but I'll be back for the next vid!

If you want to see some real barn finds check out vice grip garage or Junkyard Digs. Puts hoovies silver spoon ass to shame. Don't get me wrong I'm a fan of his channel but he is a little full of it.

@@han5k2 I guess it's just perspective, I still really like Hoovie. I guess having all of these nice cars just skews your perspective of what a "junked out car" or "barn find" is.

Dave Ramsey would have a field day as Hoovie's financial advisor.

Haha there is nothing financially stable about cars... unless you are a mechanic

It’s a chronic addiction... can’t blame him

If he's talking about assets then he's set. Haha

@@pontiacmaniac7772 exactly, the only person they're financially stable for is the Wizard 🤣

I don't mind tbh, but it stopped after the Doug de Muro partnership didn't it?

He said he wouldn't mention what he paid for the lambo twins until he figured out if he was selling them. claiming the deal he got was so good he knows a potential buyer would squeeze him out of normal market value for them if they did their own math based on the wizard bills and such. This corvette is most likely going to be flipped since he put so much effort into tailoring the mustang to his liking.

@@jorgey4 I could see him selling it to the Wizard; classic GM is right up his alley.

When you’re in the million range of subs and millions of views you don’t have to pay for much. These are just television shows with production teams, schedules and so on. Its not just 1 dude in his garage anymore.

Jake Stam. I wouldn't be too envious. If you read the 2nd episode you'll find that the engine was junk. See my other posts on both episodes. Its gonna cost Hoover at least 12 thousand to have a hip 425 hp Vette.

Shrewd negotiator.

It's a good looking jacket. I'd wear it too if I had one.

"I got an Aston, so I really only got a few cents left."

I can't afford a Bentley jacket. My Bentley's broke me.

That island is looking more and more realistic by the week 😆

As far as fix’s go, this will be pretty simple. Not like the Mirci... Murcia... Mercia... Lamborghini.

@@robertbeirne9813 Are you stupid or just trying to play it?

@@ihatecops. I just can’t spell Murcielago

@@robertbeirne9813 yeah this one shouldn't be to bad. Not like his others

And please let the previous owner know you understand he got the engine out of a wr d cking yard which explains the pricing.

Nah, I knew it wasn't Cuba the island.....

I know someone born in Cuba . . . . . . . . . New York

Got me too

DEEZ NUTS GOT EM

Next we go to Mosow, Moscow Idaho that is.

even changed the blinker fluid.

Guess that dispells the 'wannabe' theory someone mentioned about Hoovie. I'd say even most well off enthusiast have at one time done some wrenching.

@@JohnnyQPublic Damn that sucks

@@JohnnyQPublic really???

@@JohnnyQPublic As a 70 year old man myself this is the reality that we all face as we age. Sad because the former owner's memories that brought him much joy are fading away forever. Live on little blue vette!

@@JohnnyQPublic I’m sorry to learn that. It’s very sad.

Shame it sounds like the family had no idea of the sorts of value the Mustang and Vette were worth.

Hoovie makes his money back plus profit, don't let his act fool you, he is a car flipper, a really really good car flipper. Not to mention ad revenue from making videos.

@@slickgiraffe6650 and CARTREK

@@slickgiraffe6650 and CarTrek, he's stake in Freddy's, youtube ads and sponsors

Pffft....Chipotle is like Taco Bell compared to Qdoba.

Why IS the guacamole so expensive at Chipotle anyway?!

I came here to say the same thing. ;) I imagine we all simultaneously thought the same thing while watching this.

But this time the car is broken also! :P

Dudes definitely not even close to broke, its just part of his YT persona. He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would not only throw away his family's wellbeing, but chronicle the entire process on YT haha. It's rare, but now and then we see glimpses of his real attitude pertaining to money. Plus his real job pays super well, I imagine the car stuff is mostly, if not wholly funded by YT $$

@@vautier_ Honestly these car youtubers stretch their incomes more than you think. They may make, say, 30K/Month, but of that, they could have 5K-10K in loans, if not more. Its why you see these guys like; "I OWN 10 SUPERCARS" as youtubers. They're literally spending half of their income on them in monthly payments. Keeping up with the Jones. He's not 'broke', especially considering he owns burger chains and other business ventures. However, he could be spending far more than he's comfortable on as far as monthly payments to keep all of these cars. So I understand his prospective and discomfort, I wouldn't want to be paying so much for cars monthly either, yeah, he's not 'broke', but he's walking a line of comfort right now.

@@vautier_ hes stated to me personally he has mountains of debt. That was a few years ago. Things could have changed.

The pandemic was bad for working people, rich people made out juuuuuuust fine

My wife.

Hey, when the right vehicles come around, sometimes you just gotta pick it up and figure it out after LOL Totally NOT a sound model lol but it works for some ppl.

Tbf buy the car for KZfaq videos. KZfaq pays enough to keep finances in check I think by now.

lol all for the show , he's not hurting financially for sure , tad bit insulting to hear these fellas cry poor mouth

He should definitely sell at least one lambo. I'd move the diablo, I actually like it better than the countach, but I think the countach will become more valuable.

Fancy seeing you here.

I’m having drumbeats withdrawal

Call the towtrucks, cue the drumbeats gtoger is here

Missing the drum beats!!

With the number of tow trucks you two have called combined how could you not

That's ALL this car will be doing, sitting in a garage. When you have 20+ cars, none of them get driven much. This one will probably see 10 hours a year at most after its finished. Cool cruisers, but not super enjoyable to drive compared to modern cars. They are crude, rough riding, rattly and noisy. They are the best looking Corvettes though, to me.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH It will be featured on KZfaq, where a million people will see it...

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH They're not as bad as you make them out to be. Compared to modern supercars (loud, super rough) or even modified cars with modified exhaust, cammed, and coilovers, its pretty similar. No car enthusiast is expect to have a 'nice ride' in a car like this. Nobody is trying to daily this. Its from the 60's, its a 60's muscle car, people know what they're getting into. They're very enjoyable to drive, especially in a stick shift, reasonable comfortable for a 60's sports car, and its an EXP every time you drive it. It will put a smile on your face, from its beauty, to its driving EXP, its a very unique car. One of the most enjoyable cars you'll ever drive in your life. Different strokes, but they're awesome cars.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH this is a vote for the restomod to continue..update the suspension,....make it really driveable....and handle well, a brutal task, but ...it would truly move into some unique territory though and he already started....double wishbones all round.....only driveable one in existance.lol

*horrified 😆

@@FreeUpTheWeed Until he realizes he can charge more to fix it

More like Wizard would be worried, LOL!

Quite honestly, I was a bit scared when he did it. He apparently has no understanding of torque on fiberglass hoods. His idea of "gentle" when closing the hood leaves a bit to be desired.

@@monkeybarmonkeyman that was pretty darn gentle..

Why lol

What? Maybe there's a knitting channel you can watch.

Funny cause my first thought was "please do a burnout"

Please don't take it on the track and noooo boooost 😆

Hoovies income might as well go straight into the Wizards account. Cut out the middle man.

Hell, the Wizard fixing all (most, just not BMW's) Hoovie's hoopties is key to the success of the channel. Well, that and Johhny the ninja. The rest is up to Hoovie and his very likeable personality. Plus, he's pretty dang generous!

YES!!! FRICKIN AMAZING FIND

Yep, that's why 'because, money' - There's always something else to buy!

Only a fool would pass this opportunity. He could likely sell at a very reasonable profit within a momth

for sure, in a classy garage on a lift for 5 years. Everyone who knew the owner knew it was there. It was never lost. Much less found....

@@SwampusMcGarniglus not even a converted barn...

It's a barn and he found it so...

@@Josmersuero It's a fully functional rich mans garage.

@@Lex-Rex "Rich man" you have no clue..........

Ha! i thought the same until he showed a Missouri plate

Cuba libre

Sort of like actual Cuba...

@14:25 you can see there's a rear chain. I'd definitely over do it with the tie downs if it were me, but it's passable.

Wench cable around the rear end and chain on the front. I agree it's not the way I would tie it down for a 5 hour trip, but at least its secured at both ends.

He was probably hoping the vette would be destroyed because thatd be good content. Remember when his Ferrari burned? He made like 3 videos on just that

@@sidefx996 yup. You want a priceless corvette? Get a split window 👍 good luck tho

He says right at the beginning dumbest car show but you can’t see how he tied it down it has no brakes I can’t not be

Im in the watch hobby and I see people keeping tool watches in safes, they'res a saying, "If you can't afford to scratch, it you can't afford it".

Lucky!

@@jamesblonde2271 It’s time for him to sell it

@@garrettthomas4125 maybe you could buy it from him

@@chrisjct2095 I might when I get outa college, I guess it costs nothing for him to own it a few more years

Wizard: " it's in pretty decent shape, and it smells great. Good to go"

*tastes

Take a second look, it is obviously strapped down. This might be the dumbest car channel in whole of KZfaq, but Hoovie isn’t that stupid.

@@ChrisM777 I see no evidence of straps at 14:23 but maybe you're right. Buying that car Hoovie is not that stupid.
