Which one is your favorite?

Guarantee come back 5 yrs from now and nothing will change with these cars

I understand that these are his cars and he can do as he wishes, but what a waste.

This old dude ain't gonna sell nothing

Hate people who say their going to fix them cars someday but never do anything with them but watch the cars rot away

100% hoarder; those cars will rot to the ground before he sells any of them.

Memories aren't for sale and people generally want to hold on dearly to their early memories. This collection is all memories to this man.

Mike is a real story teller and loves his cars even if they 'll eventually rot in place .

About 70 years old and 30 cars he's gonna get to soon..... Never could understand it

I don't think anyone in the South ever gets rid of their family cars.

The way these men talk and interact with each other is so refreshing, it shows how we can treat each other and be happy. Not to mention the sweet rides. Great video.

He ain't selling nothing. 😂

Captivated the hole time! I gotta hurry up and finish this one my daughters 50 birthday is coming soon. She’s been waiting for 30 years 😊😊. She patient. I hope you get to finish all those cars 😎🇺🇸

If you can't even repair the barn that these cars are stored in, how are you ever going to restore any of these cars????

Considering the years you've owned the vehicles, you should have another 500 years to repair some of them, you're still young, no problems.

As soon as mike puts the interior back in that anglia and fixes up that S-10 he'll get right on those other cars. Yeah boy

What a shame,none of these vehicles will be fixed or running anytime soon they'll be there til this man is in heaven,he could of sold all of them and enjoyed a nice life 😊.

What a waste to let those cars rot and sit instead of selling them to people with the resources and time to bring them back to life. Seen too many old guys with a lot of love for classic cars not realize they don’t have the time to restore the classics they have, so they talk and talk about doing it with their son’s or grandsons when they also might not have time or might not care. Better to sell something that can be restored than let something return to the earth as rotted iron.

I appreciate Parker's interest and respect for the past and for the people he interviews.

I live in the middle of nowhere central Georgia, and I can confirm that more people than not have a bunch of broken down cars or trucks on the property. I feel I’m slacking up because I don’t have any. Lol.

‘What’s your plan for this?’ Well, I’m just going to leave everything until it all rots and is completely worthless, but I’m going to keep talking about fixing everything up, including the barn that’s currently collapsing on everything. I’m definitely a good talker. Much better than a worker.

Let’s be honest, he won’t work on those cars and sadly they will just sit and rot away. He should really sell them all but a few

Hopeful some of these cars get sold before the rest of the barn falls down..

This guy is like my father… none of this crap is ever going to get finished.

HI PARKER , These videos and the ones where you interview old time racers are PRICELESS. Once these gentleman are gone , the memories are also gone... TY GOD BLESS CIAO

The black face doll on the porch those are collecor items as well ! He has alot of cool stuff allways awesome to see you rummage through antique items

To have the car your Dad bought new, Is really something....Very cool.

Better pick one or two to fix and pass the others on.. There's a few of us old guys would love to have just one to tinker

That le mans convertible has to be saved.OMG what a gem.

Its heartbreaking to see people live like this and to have this later all end up in the trash/scrap yard. There is quite a bit of history here and really decent parts and cars to be reworked and brought back from the dead. I recently had an uncle who passed eho lived like this. He had cars, car parts .etc all over the damn place. All in his basement, throughout his house, his garage was filled up so badly and so unorganized, you didnt even need beams for the roof to stay up. Everything inside was piled from wall to wall to ceiling. Couldnt even walk into yhe garage it was so bad. Sadly he passed grom his fight with cancer. Everything he had....his kids knew nothing if what anything was, so they scrapped it all. It was so overwhelming for them due to his hoarding characteristic he was cursed with, they trashed it all. He had a lot of usuable parts and cars too. What astonished me is how he was able to aquitlre all that he had, with the minimum pay type job he had, and still raise a family on that, with having 6 kids to deal with. My cousing told me what they did and i was pissed that no one decides to call me. I could have helped them puck out things and label them, sell them for more than just scrap. Hell, would have been nice to get the parts i gave him 25 years ago back again, to restore them and sell them. They trashed everything. 😢

It's a shame he let them sit there and rot, I don't believe he would ever get them running again.

I love how you guys keep your families cars for posterity. I like the TR6.

Looks of his rv money is no object

Parker there’s more there, I think a full day with Mike would be a compelling episode

Thanks for taking us along. Sure was neat to see all that historic stuff.

Time to let go and take care of your health/later years

Hidden rusty dusty treasures, the stories behind them, man I love these old farm videos. Mike, you're a legend for keeping the past alive. Thank you, sir.

I hate to break it to him but he’s in the same boat as me he’s got big dreams but he’s running out of time.

I was a producer on "In the Heat of the Night" - love Covington, great town! Almost bought a house there>

Sell..sell sell!! Clean up what you can, and sell them off. Having a hoard of cars like that, in that kind of condition, and not being able to get anything done, is just a waste. This old man is hanging onto memories....i feel for the guy, i really do. But man, its time to let it all go. Pick two out of the bunch and have at it. Build a better barn/storage area, put in a lift or two, put in a paint booth...get a business going. At his age, he could own it and have people working for him. Turn cars and farm equipment like these into running pieces of art. That yellow bellair with the red top would sell quickly.

The TR6 is super cool!!! My first car was a 1976 TR6. The bumper "over riders" were a federal mandate thing from 1974 through the final year of the TR6 in 1976. Funny, that tractor has less dust on it than the cars. Lol.

I appreciate this guys sentiment. I'd bet in 10 years the barn will have collapsed more, and those cars will all have another layer of dust on them, and 10 years more rot. I don't know I'd do anything different, but probably. While i appreciate this guy saying he's gonna do this and that, I won't believe him, for whatever that's worth, until I see it.

This guy will never fix any of those cars !! All those vehicles will be in an estate sale when this guy moves on !

The 63 Dart wagon is my favorite

So lucky that I clicked on this! Great history! That is a nice man!

Most of these vehicles have been in way more than twenty years.

Great mixed bag this guy has from trucks, tractors, cars etc. People will always hate but it's his property and he can do with it as he wishes. Thanks from Scotland, appreciated here.

You SOLD me when you identified that chassis as a 55 Chevy. That was some "goat entrails reading" right there as far as I'm concerned. Amazed.

These guys are a breed. Someday is their motto. He wouldn't sell anything if his wife needed a live or die operation. He's got the 1923 left wind of a blue jay from the Falkland Islands, but try to buy it.

you picked the wrong time of the year to visit Georgia . Bro it is hot and humid down here .

Dad lived in Brooks GA for many years & while I visited many times I found so many barns, garages w/ NOS parts and some pristine autos & some junk as well. Something about Georgia I always enjoyed except for the humidity!! Good stuff. 🇺🇸

True southern gentlemen there with his speach....the saying "its been there a minute" thats a classic.

Thoroughly enjoyed the vid. I grew up on a S GA farm and every piece of equipment and auto anybody wanted to discard wound up around the farm. My Dad’s first tractor was a Farmall from the 40s is still parked on the farm. I have the oxyoke my great grandfather made in the 1800s that hung on the back of the barn my entire life and is now hanging on my porch. My brother bought a new Chevy SS after high school but was drafted into the Army in ‘69 when I was a senior. I got to drive his car for a few months while he was in boot camp. Then he was up for tour in Vietnam and the car was sold to a neighbor. Good while it lasted, though. Before he shipped out my grandfather died and left his farm to my brother so he got out on a hardship discharge. Sorry for such a long comment. The old gentleman just made me want to sit down on a bucket and reminisce.

What an awful shame the barn has come down. So glad he saved the cars from the crusher but he is completely out of time. I hope he can be honest with himself…he will just NEVER be able to get to all of them. I hope he picks 3 or 4 that he loves to work on and sells the rest before it’s too late. He can use the funds from the other cars to fix the barn and the rest of the cars he keeps. To ALL collectors….PLEASE don’t leave all of your stuff behind for your family to sort out. It will look like junk to them, they will have no idea what it’s worth and will get terribly ripped off by vultures while they are grieving the loss. You don’t want that for your loved ones so please sell the things while you are healthy and able to.

Can you say Hoarder?

The "Bathroom" statement was great

Neat guest, some cool vehicles. My favorites were the wacky rear-engine tractor and the Hough Payloader. Just because I’ve never seen them before.

Thank you. I really enjoyed this video.

Interesting To see a US car guy be knowledgeable about the 105E anglia . When I was 16 i had a anglia van . And yes they are still very popular 😊

Nice tour! Thanks

Every old man in the world is gonna fix their cars up.

What a nice fella lots of nice cars and lots of dreams. Just running out of time.

None of these will move til he’s dead and buried.

The guy keeps talking in the video that he’s going to start to get some of those cars running but like one of the commentators said above nothing won’t possibly get back on the road until quite possibly he’s dead & gone & the estate sells it .

Nice collection of family heirlooms, but they won't see a wrench or anything else. I'll take the '66 Plymouth Satellite.

This poor chap had a sad story to tell on every vehicle and why he hasn’t repaired any of them. Those pieces of history will be lost. What a shame.

Time for all of us passes way too fast! I can see this guy had and still has dreams for these old vehicles but the clock is ticking, the dust is collecting, the rust is rusting, his body is aging and his projects will not get done in his lifetime! I think I would sell most of them and hire someone to fully restore his favorite with the proceeds so he and his wife could enjoy rides in it!!

Hope he didn’t drive too far to see cars that would cost more to restore than they’ll ever be worth

Awesome video thanks buddy…

It's Georgia... he probably doesn't have titles for any of the cars.

That Allis Chalmers G is nice!!

Guy's like this are just hoarders. "I know what I got, not selling anything!" But they never restore or do anything with the vehicles. Just let them rot into the ground!!

RIP Cale Yarbourgh #28

hey HI from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing your time and video of some Amazing Old Riders 👍🤩 and I think the Gentleman in Georgia is Awesome 🤙 his.srorys and time with the NASCAR Drivers is one of the best 🎉🤩😎💖

Great job Parker

You are great at what you do. A fantastic personality that everyone enjoys. Always look forward to your next video. Although I am in Germanton North Carolina i hope to meet you in Carlisle PA sometime. We are always under shelter in car coral spring and fall. Thanks so much

Interesting video. That Anglia with that trim should be a 1200cc. Love the Rambler and the yellow Chev hardtop. I can't believe you walked away from a '56 Chev, my favourite. Cheers, from New Zealand.

Such a shame to see those beauties rotting into the ground😢

In all honesty, these will be sold a few months after he passes on from this world. No one restores anything if it’s been sitting for 50 years in a dilapidated barn.

I like mike , awsome cars fellas 👌

Another guy with lots of plans, lots of plans,lots of plans. Failure to launch.

Very interesting , a trip in time. Many thanks.

Same sob story on every car. Those cars will not get pulled out of the ground until he gets pulled in. That’s reality.

Another man that needs to prioritize his projects I'm guessing 5% or less end up seeing any attention 😢

mate love watching your stuff. hello from australia

His type of love is the kiss of DEATH for everything he's got.

The family will have to deal with this at some point.

Very nice man and good history

Sad to see IMO, they will just sit there and get worse and worse, then he will die and his kids will sell what's left of them. But I know, he is going to restore them some day LOL

great cars wow mike s great

Mike is a fine fellow and very long time business owner in Clayton County GA ( MIKES HITCHES ) he has installed more aftermarket HITCHES on vehicles than any other company in South Metro Atlanta

It’s one thing if you park it and keep it clean to preserve it ! But to let it sit and do nothing with it almost makes me wanna cry

@backyardbarnfinds howdy! Just came across your page, super rad! Curious how I could contact you guys. I have a old school mobster coupe car from the 1940s in great condition we’re looking to give a home to someone who can fix it up and appreciate it for the amazing classic car it is! If there’s any folks that might see this and has/knows someone who has an affinity for restoring old classics feel free to reach out! Much love to all. ✌🏽

More car hoarders letting them rot with nothing for sale

i had a ap6 valiant = just like that 63 dodge dart wagon = mine way 1965 - i put disc front brakes power booster 318 v8 fireball and a 292 4 pinion diff ! headders twin exhaust - chrome wide wheels - white with blue interior !

There are a lot of old houses in that part of Georgia. Less farm houses and more in the small towns and cities perhaps. That part of the state boomed in the middle 1800s. Coastal areas a little earlier. Amazing how little damage his collection has from the collapsing barn. Lucky.

Love that 54 Chevy

Would have like to hear more about his time with Dick Trickle! What has he collected from his time with 99? Dick was from my hometown and I wish more people knew his story. If you ever get to revisit Mike, please spend a few minutes on the subject with him, Golden Sands Speedway and the memorial would love to hear what he has to say I'm sure!

Praise Jesus these cars were saved 🙏🇺🇸

All of the cars are cool
