    It's amazing to me how, after 65 episodes, I can still say that this series just keeps getting better and better. I've noticed that Tom is having to do less and less of the heavy lifting, and his guests are getting chattier about their collections. I don't know if that's editing, or just the quality of the subjects that they are finding, but I like how he's guiding the conversations rather than doing all of the talking now. It's a really good combo :)

    I couldn't imagine what kind of life one would have to live to buy a brand new Corvette, drive it a couple of times and park it up for 3 decades.

    I’ve thought of Bob every time I watch your channel. When I met him he had a LOT more in that barn, like the original 1970 Corvette he bought when he went to college, or the 1957 fuelie Vette basketcase. I’m glad you two finally met. It was good to see my hometown on here. Montana used to be chock full of good old cars just sitting because they didn’t use chemicals on the roads in winter and the colder temps kept rust at bay. Unfortunately government introduced strict regulations on junk yards and then Californians started hauling them away in the eighties. Probably a lot of stuff left though... lots of country there to look through.

    Amazing collection, the stories are worth as much as the cars... Someone needs to document all of the backstories and inventory the hoard... probably worth as much if not more than the cars.

    That was classic when Tom looked at the camera when the guy said 26 toronados

    Owning twenty six Toronados is the very definition of crazy.

    This might be my favorite episode of Barn Find Hunter ever...Bob's knowledge of everything he owns impresses the hell out of me

    I would have loved to see a second or maybe even a third part of Bob's collection!

    Best episode ever! Bob is a true car legend, how in hell can he recall so much minute information about each car. Can you visit him again and do a few more episodes with him. He is such a cool guy! Again what a treat seeing and listening to him talk. Thanks heaps Tom.

    Bobs mind is sharp as a tack wow. Watching him remember how to start that car was awesome! Such a great day with bob.

    This could have easily been an 8-part series. The auction houses will be calling him.

    I envy Bob's sharp mind. I'd love to sit with him and learn about his cars.
