What a great episode, and what great hosts these two guys were too. Denny seems like the kind of guy who'd be a great friend to those he knows. I wait eagerly for these episodes, Tom. Thank you to you and your team for getting out there and putting these together.
I've watched Tom and this series of shows for a while now, and he does a great job restoring my interest in old cars, not that I'll ever be able to afford one. Every ep that the woody has been in, I kept hoping he'd peel out like he just did today. FINALLY, and it was worth the wait!!
Been restoring my own barn find for the last 10 years. But I was my dads barn and truck. 58 Chevy Apache that I have taken down to the bare frame and every nut bolt and bushing is new. Just dropped an LS1 in it and almost ready to fire it up. It’s a total hot rod , can’t wait to start driving it.
I just love this guy, enthusiastic, modest, knowledgeable and he let's other folk talk, plus he's a to be used driver kinda guy....Keep em coming Tom and many thanks
@John Doe I imagine that was the video I just got done watching. The comments were shut off. Stay tuned for when that hoarder dies and they auction everything off. Their kids will not want to be burdened with millions of dollars of cars but they'll take the cash for sure.
@John Doe There was a mopar yard west of Springfield Missouri. Their phone number was 800-426-HEMI. The owner croaked, kids had vintage mopars crushed when steel prices were high. I think one of those big parts companies now owns that number (Paddock or something). There is a 70 or 71 Dodge Challenger with 440 motor rotting along side a house I have passed for three decades. The guy is no closer to restoring it now than he was back then. It is just rotting away... If I ever think that is bad, I just think of the idiot on that one video that had over 100 cars rotting like that.
@John Doe There were lists with those vehicles on it. It wasn't too bad, but there were definitely some question marks why a few of those cars would be turned in. Jeep Cherokee fans were really upset though...they crushed those things by the thousands.
@John Doe They had gas guzzler mileage requirements, but as with most government programs...fraud and incompetence were rampant. Here are a list of some cars allegedly crushed as well: 1987 Buick ASC GNX 1997 Aston Martin DB7 Volante 1997 Bentley Continental R 1989 20th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am 1992 GMC Typhoon (no!) 1985 Audi Quattro 1992 BMW 850i 2006 Audi A4 Convertible 2006 Cadillac STS 2008 Foose F-150 (2) 2007 GMC Acadias (3) 2008 Hyundai Accent (see above) 2006 Nissan 350Z Roadster 2006 Roush Stage 3 F-150 (2) 2006 Toyota Corolla 2005 Mazda RX-8 2002 Kia Spectra 1988 Aurora Cobra kit car 1996 Buick Funeral Coaches/Hearses 1987 Duntov GT 1987 Excalibur Autos Phaeton 1990 Honda CRX (Less than 18 mpg?) 1985 Maserati Quattroporte 1999 Mercedes C43 AMG 1985 TVR 280i convertible
It's so nice to see an XK roadster that still has painted wire wheels as it is most likely to have had originally. The XK150 FHC was more of a cruiser than an out-and-out sports car, it got wider and longer (and heavier) to appeal more to the US buyer as the earlier cars, especially the roadsters, were rather tight for interior space, so it's more likely that it had the (still optional) chrome wire wheels from new. With the values of them now, that XK roadster would probably buy a very nice house even in that condition, the 150 would be less being a less desirable model, but it could still be up towards $100k having been in one person's ownership for 40 years and it will very likely swallow that and more to put it right...
Great video. My grandpa had a 1966 Ford f-250 camper special identical to that one. He drove it from 1966 to 2002 when he had a stroke and couldn't drive anymore. Seeing that truck sure brought back some memories.
Love the old Ford Truck! please show more of them, That 66 F250 camper special is Holly Green and Wimbledon white. It has the super cool West Coast Jr. Mirrors and a Padded dash with all the anodized aluminum bright trim. The ranch bumper is not a factory piece, but likely the dealer installed it. The 352 and New Process 435 4 speed transmission were plenty of power for these trucks. My 66 had the NP435 4 speed transmission, short style side bed, a DANA 60.2 five lug rear end and the same West Coast Jr. mirrors. It was Springtime Yellow with all the trim etc. Glad the owner is keeping it! I have had more than 10 of the 61-66 trucks. YOU can fix the steering wheel to column gap by loosening the bolts under the dash at the firewall there is a strap type clamp to undo, then pull it up to close the gap! you might have to tighten the lower bearing on the shaft. As always, Great Video!
Tom reminds me of Wayne from Chasing Classic Cars, they have a natural love for the automobile and find the story behind it even more fascinating than the car itself
In the late 90's my daily driver was a ford f250 just like that except it had a 460 and four wheel drive. I loved that ol truck. I got rid of it because of a smoking deal on a 67 camaro that ended up being my daily for the next 8 years. I still browse around for a truck like that every once in a while.
This series is just so cool, it's great viewing. Thanks for sharing. Have to ask tho' if you ever get a little disheartened seeing all the exotic and long lost, parked up, generally interest gone, no plans for restore/rebuild or even disposal? Eventual, the great scrap heap in the sky. So, gone forever.
I'd like to see that fan (at the end) run. Up here at the Owls Head Museum they have a (P51 engine i think) attached to an open air dolly, prop and all.. and they actually start it! It's pretty impressive and a bit unnerving.
I grew up with some cars like these. My Dad was over protective about them and never fixed them. When he did let us drive them when I was in my twenties I had already driven more impressive machinery and was as impressed as I had been as a kid. So the lesson is get them running really well without any foibles so your children can drive them and be brave and let then drive them as soon as possible. Otherwise we'll all end up like the guy in this film.
A chance to have a real Jaguar - & his kids are like "Nah!" That's a damn shame. I wish I had the money & space for a car like that - I'd go through Hagerty, & make an offer.
I have seen pristine condition new new 20 to 25 year old cars in the junk yard probably from a retired person who can no longer drive or moving into a retirement village with no one wanting to own or care for it. It breaks your heart seeing an otherwise near new condition car in the Junk Yard which is not loved because it is not an SUV and/or does not have touch screen and apple car play.
I prefer the tart cherries for eating plain or pie making! Love how these guys still have sense to move on so others can enjoy their passion! 6 numskulls?!
Back in 1969 in Medford, Oregon I had the opportunity to buy an XK 140 for $500! It had had a minor engine wiring fire and the owner (a friend of mine) was exaspirated and fed up and just wanted to get rid of it. True, it needed paint and the leather interior was kinda ratty, buy it ran great until the wiring issue. Being a kid in college I didn't have an extra $20 let alone $500!!! OH! "The ones that gotta way." That's what dreams/nightmares are made of.
You should come by the Canadian prairies, in Manitoba alone I know of a property used to have 160 cars, down to 40. Mostly old 30s cars, old Chevrolets, Buicks, and Overlands. Really nice guy, I'm sure he'd love to have you guys out!
just as a note Tom those old ford truck did NOT come with rear bumpers from the factory. they were all dealer installed and built. they didnt start selling factory bumpers till i believe the OBS early OBS right after the dentisde
2 jags for sale...American pickers have that jag guy in Columbia Tn... Maybe sell them,deliver them and do a show with him for barn finds and (maybe) 1 of the pickers could stop by in the show... That type of stuff is usually easy. A couple phone calls. I missed mike wolf by 5 minutes at an old buddy's house in Franklin one time.
It may of been said before, cba to read thru all comments lol but the RAC badge is nothing to do with the rally we had (WRC now) it is an old breakdown recovery service badge like the old AA ones you might see on some uk cars. :)
Hahahaaa!!! That was funny. You're talkin about what a burden they are to have them and have to maintain the gas and keep up on them and keep the spiders out of them. Then, you ask "you got anymore of them?" Dude says " yea "!! And you lit up like a boy in a candy store and say cool let's go!!
Have repaired a Jaguar type roadster like that! did lots of panel beating and filing when! actual metal was actually used on those beasts.Recall making a door panel and fitted it up before spraying , whilst a skinny apprentice earning one pound ten shillings a week !1959:?or 60.😌
Tom: If you don't buy both of them and restore them as part of your series, you will regret it for the rest of your natural life. Many people will volunteer their time. You could also draft Edd China, the Brit who is the best and most knowledgable mechanic on English and other European cars I ever saw on a TV series. Back in the day, my cousin acquired an XK-120, an XK-140 and an early XKE. He loved Jaguars but had no mechanical aptitude at all, while I had the aptitude and time on my hands, and was drafted to work on his toys. But he's been dead for about 34 years, and his cars are - well, who knows? Don't let these Traverse City jewels slip out of your hands.

I've got my next door neighbor, who isn't even into cars at all, coming over to watch these with me now. That's how good this series is!
Hasn't he got WiFi to watch on his own?
Kris Doesn’t matter about if the guy has WiFi. It’s about coming together and enjoying something you never thought you would enjoy.
What a great episode, and what great hosts these two guys were too. Denny seems like the kind of guy who'd be a great friend to those he knows. I wait eagerly for these episodes, Tom. Thank you to you and your team for getting out there and putting these together.
Tune in next week Tom owns two Jaguars
bhahahahahahahahahahahah
He'd be crazy not to.
I notice he didn’t ask on camera how much they want for them like he usually does so yes, he’s buying them.
Tom... you have one of the best shows on the internet. Love it. Thank you so much
Mark Carter Better than Netflix!!!!

Absolutely love this show, thanks guys....it’s the folks ya meet as much as the cars. I’ll take on the job when you’re ready to retire!
Gotta get you're own woody wagon though , woody not included.
Sweet Ross BMX bike hanging in the second guy’s garage.

Nice to see that there wasn't 100 cars laying around all waiting to be "restored" soon.
@John Doe I imagine that was the video I just got done watching. The comments were shut off.
Stay tuned for when that hoarder dies and they auction everything off. Their kids will not want to be burdened with millions of dollars of cars but they'll take the cash for sure.
@John Doe Surprisingly that rarely happens. What is common is families selling vintage iron for scrap to clear the land so they can sell it.
@John Doe There was a mopar yard west of Springfield Missouri. Their phone number was 800-426-HEMI. The owner croaked, kids had vintage mopars crushed when steel prices were high. I think one of those big parts companies now owns that number (Paddock or something).

Beautiful farm Denny! Great family story! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR STORY AND VEHICLES WITH US!
Danny sounds like a genuine nice guy. The way he talks about the history of his business and the cars he owns, that's one true collector.
My ol' man you to say "buy two Jags, one to drive while the other's in the shop!" Thx Tom & Hagerty👍
Nice hat, Tom. Thank you to you and your team for getting out there and putting these together.

At 65 I never knew what I wanted to do when I grew up, now I do - your job !
Wonderful work Tom! You are living the dream many of us have.
As a german fan of barn find hunter I really was surprised when he said "Gesundheit" to his cameraman when he sneezed. that made me laugh lol
Its a fairly common thing to say when someone sneezes, even in America.
@@JTrials31 this is very funny
@@JTrials31 And Australia too...
My mother was from Germany. I've used that expression my whole life!
Das wundert mich jetzt aber auch :)
Drive em everday... i do! That was the intention of every car the year/day they were built! Thanks again for a great video Tom & Hagerty!
What an amazing find and, you were just down the road from us. You never know what you'll find and where you'll find it. Excellent job Tom!
Great video. My grandpa had a 1966 Ford f-250 camper special identical to that one. He drove it from 1966 to 2002 when he had a stroke and couldn't drive anymore. Seeing that truck sure brought back some memories.
I love those mid-60's Ford pickups. That's really a nice one.
Awesome finds! Love the back stories, the passion and the history of these cars and the men that tell their stories.
The farmer is what it’s all about,hard working productive and a true gentleman.
Great episode🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
i installed the garage door on the barn the second jag was in!
Interesting set of storage sheds. All built and then sold individually?
Nice gaps. Really even. Good craftsmanship.
I'd love to own that farm,just to have the barns.....
Love the old Ford Truck! please show more of them, That 66 F250 camper special is Holly Green and Wimbledon white. It has the super cool West Coast Jr. Mirrors and a Padded dash with all the anodized aluminum bright trim. The ranch bumper is not a factory piece, but likely the dealer installed it.

Beautifull land, beautifull farm, cool barn, beautifull cars. A liked more old black Ford 😘.
The surprises keep on coming
This is my favourite you tube channel
Thanks Tom. 👍👍😍😍
The Woody is still the best car ive ever seen on this show.
9:30 AA Ford truck was the same model The Walton's had on TV.
What a show! You are living the dream.
I was looking at the old collector bicycles hanging in the back. Those guys had it all!
Can't wait to find out which Jag Tom ends up buying ;)
This series is just so cool, it's great viewing. Thanks for sharing.

I want to see more about that crazy fan for crops thing
Dan Gerber is from Fremont, MI, a couple hours south of Traverse City. A bad wreck at Riverside in 1966 ended his racing career.
I wonder if he is still around...?
@@csx2490 Yes, he's a poet and lives in California.
Wow Just Wow getting a woody over those cars and the woody is beautiful.
I need to share these with my neighbors who tolerate but just barely my 4 Alfas
Tom amaze me every time he gueses a car from under the covores . Amazing guy .
"kids don't want it." We live in a sad generation.......

Kids don't want em cause older guy hoard em. And its unattainable.
Yeah we wanna Plastic Lamborghini not an old Rusty Jaguar !
I have seen pristine condition new new 20 to 25 year old cars in the junk yard probably from a retired person who can no longer drive or moving into a retirement village with no one wanting to own or care for it.

My favorite car channel! Please take one of us on a barn hunt tour with you! 😁
Thats the model of jaguar i would love to have.
Thank you for another great video Tom. You are A legend! cheers
Moving,
after all the family history there.
That is so heartbreaking.
TOO COOL 😎 !
What are the chances.
Thanks for sharing these finds !
Best car channel on TH-cam by far!
Most enjoyable episode. Wonderful characters.
Love these episodes

You guys should go on a road trip in Europe or somewhere and do barn finds there
toms dream come true .. like a kid in a candy store .. great upload guys
Tom „Gesundheit!“ Made my day!
Can't believe he's keeping the '66 but leaving the AA and XK!
OMG the Jag's !!!! WoW nice rides ... I love this channel
You should come by the Canadian prairies, in Manitoba alone I know of a property used to have 160 cars, down to 40. Mostly old 30s cars, old Chevrolets, Buicks, and Overlands.
Really nice guy, I'm sure he'd love to have you guys out!
" got any more?
-Oh Yeah"
Great stories.
I would love to find one of those Camper Specials!
Fantasy: I'd like those International trucks. Reality: Where would I keep them - I've no garage.
just as a note Tom those old ford truck did NOT come with rear bumpers from the factory. they were all dealer installed and built. they didnt start selling factory bumpers till i believe the OBS early OBS right after the dentisde
10:54. I wish that a lot of these hoarders would hear these words and give someone else a shot.
Tom, Please tell us you put a deal together for those two jags 😀
i’m thinking the burning rubber audio was added with editing magic
And here I am wanting to see more of that Suzuki ALT three wheeler....
Those are some Serious storage units.
Woody burning rubber. Now that’s fun!
Finally episode on the road.
Need a head for that Jag?
Maybe Jay Leno would 3D print you one?
Great episode. My local area actually. I live less than half hour from that farm
Amazing people, amazing cars, beautiful farm
What life should be
2 jags for sale...American pickers have that jag guy in Columbia Tn...
Maybe sell them,deliver them and do a show with him for barn finds and (maybe) 1 of the pickers could stop by in the show...
That type of stuff is usually easy. A couple phone calls.
I missed mike wolf by 5 minutes at an old buddy's house in Franklin one time.
Tom is in heaven on this one. Wondering if the bought them
what an awesome show, love this finds
Woody putting the power down "Nice"!
Look at that grass so green .
The grass is always greener on Tom Cotter's show!
Tom.the man, the myth,the Legend
The old Ford pickup truck is sweet.
Im hooked Now Tom....Cant believe I just started Watching your Stuff !.....Hope you did well in Germany !....BBH
This is awesome!
I love these episodes!
Farmed Pickles. That's pretty impressive.
It may of been said before, cba to read thru all comments lol but the RAC badge is nothing to do with the rally we had (WRC now) it is an old breakdown recovery service badge like the old AA ones you might see on some uk cars. :)
Hahahaaa!!! That was funny. You're talkin about what a burden they are to have them and have to maintain the gas and keep up on them and keep the spiders out of them. Then, you ask "you got anymore of them?" Dude says " yea "!! And you lit up like a boy in a candy store and say cool let's go!!
Thanks to all of you.
Have repaired a Jaguar type roadster like that! did lots of panel beating and filing when! actual metal was actually used on those beasts.Recall making a door panel and fitted it up before spraying , whilst a skinny apprentice earning one pound ten shillings a week !1959:?or 60.😌
That old mongoose bmx in the background is big money
What’s good about the shows each car has a great story
My favorite was the great looking Suzuki three wheeler at 14:33.
I live for this show.
Dan Gerber was from Fremont, Michigan
Tom:
If you don't buy both of them and restore them as part of your series, you will regret it for the rest of your natural life. Many people will volunteer their time. You could also draft Edd China, the Brit who is the best and most knowledgable mechanic on English and other European cars I ever saw on a TV series. Back in the day, my cousin acquired an XK-120, an XK-140 and an early XKE. He loved Jaguars but had no mechanical aptitude at all, while I had the aptitude and time on my hands, and was drafted to work on his toys. But he's been dead for about 34 years, and his cars are - well, who knows? Don't let these Traverse City jewels slip out of your hands.
13:12 "Gesundheit" :-) nice!
Most people were looking at those bigger trucks and I was looking at that 3 wheeler
WOW! Gorgeous!!!
This should be an actual show on tv or netflix
