So many guests on this channel say, "I'm going to finish this car someday" but you know they never will. This man knows everything about his cars and has the skills to do the work. Haggerty should revisit him from time to time and watch him drive each and every one of them. Great guest.
Thank you for the post
being a fellow kiwi,for a small country it never ceases to amaze me how many kiwis did,and are still doing so well in american motorsport, tony is a legend, cool dude, cool story tom
Kiwi hard
Ashburton!
Hamilton nz 😊
I love how Tony has been in America so long and he now has a kiwi accent with a slight southern drawl
What history he has 😂😂😂👍👍
As a former Kiwi, i can also hear his lower South Island (NZ) burr! A lot of Scottish people settled in the lower Sth Island in the 1800's and if you visit there today you can still hear their distinctive version of the Kiwi accent with a Scottish edge.😀
I have to say this was my favorite barn find to date,such a down to earth guy,with probably more knowledge than anyone.
You have got to revisit Tony on a regular basis to see how he’s progressing with his projects.
Some one could make a film of his life story😎👍
Wow. The greatest episode of Barn Find Hunter ever!! Tony Price is such a down to earth guy, and it's reassuring to know that he's actually going to finish those projects. I'm a Kiwi, a NASCAR fan and a Ford fan - so this ticks all the boxes for me. Keep that Kiwi flag flying!!
100% the best thing Hagerty puts on youtube... Tom is the man!
What an exuberant fellow & the best race stories....
We need a podcast or a recurring feature with Tony and people like him - just to capture the stories he has! And also as others have already stated - to get progress on his cars. Out of all of the Barn Find episodes I have watched thus far, I really do believe that Tony is going to get to these projects, at least to some of them, and he is realistic also about his situation. And to see the actual sticker that Tom put on that toolbox over 40 years ago? Mind-blowing! Small world . . .
Cool to see someone from canterbury doing his thing in the states. Living the dream.
Thanks for sharing. Tell Tony thanks for sharing some of his collection and just as important his history. That was great to hear about as well. He's had quite an interesting life. Definitely knows his stuff. Good luck to him on his projects!
Tom
Have loved your show for years. Every moment is precious.
Please no more commercial intrusions…
Thanks
I’ve watched a lot of your videos Tom but this one is so so nice and personal and cool !!! WoW !!! Top notch TOM
What an amazing friendship and 2 very interesting people who done so much for the world of cars !! I hope to see more of this kind of content
Thanks Tom for another great episode. cheers!!
Fords were indeed imported into New Zealand as KDK's, or Knock Down Kits, in the 20's and up to around the 50's I think. They would be produced on the line in Windsor, Ontario (crazy how it is literally right across the river from Detroit!), disassembled again and packed into crates for shipping. They would arrive in Wellington back when Lambton Quay was actually on the waterfront. The old Ford building is still there on Courtney Place and could been seen from the old Ford (and Mazda) dealership a little further up Taranaki Street (I lived in Wellington for several years and worked briefly at this dealership, however it is no longer there with just a city service centre nearby and with car sales having moved out to the surrounding areas). The Courtney Place Ford building, or the Colonial Motor Company as they were known back then, was designed "top down", where crates of parts were unloaded directly from the ships and craned onto the top floor, assembled, and a new car would drive out on the ground floor. There is some pretty interesting history there, especially about all the reclaimed land that now makes up most of the Wellington Waterfront.
What a great guy to find. Full of great information of old cars and trucks. Thanks for sharing.
Another wonderful show, what makes these episodes so wonderful are the unique characters. Keep up the good work and please make the videos longer.
This is one of your best videos. So great to learn about your past
New Zealanders are the Best in the world. Totally honest, totally real…their word IS their bond.
Thank you for posting this video
Oh my gosh, this show brings me so much Joy. Tom is such a wonderful interviewer, enthusiast and friend. Thanks for letting this wonderful story be told uninterrupted
Another great story, Tom. This guy is the real deal. The rest of the story about the Model Y is that it was designed by U.S. stylist extraordinaire E.T. Gregorie. It was a relatively straightforward task to upscale it to become the domestic Ford in 1933 when Edsel asked him to do it.
Wow! What a guy, you could literally listen to him all day!! Fantastic episode
Thank you TOM for bring back some cool memories ❤
Great episode! I really enjoyed Tony. Thanks Tom!
First guy on this show who I believed when he said which cars he wanted to fix and which cars he wanted to sell.
True diehard Ford guys are the best!
Tks frank for all the life's stories with us an Tom
In Australia we used to call them "CKD" which I believe stands for "completely knocked down".
Awesome video! Cool to see someone with a Kiwi, Aussie, American, and Southern accent combined
I don't appreciate how I'm subscribed to this channel and the TH-cam algorithm doesn't bring these vids up on my feed. I caught one today and have now watched 5 vids I haven't seen yet, one over 6 months old...
Why did Tom have to rush him so much I would’ve watched a 2 hour episode of just the stories this guy has
Thanks Straight Ahead ✌😎
Your vid’s are Finally getting a bit longer, Thank You!!!
Oh Man, I loved me some Robert Yates & Davey Allison team! Tony wouldn't happened to have a Yates engine laying around there? ha!
That guy has pure gold hanging on the wall and sitting on his motorcycle tables!
Need more of Tony.
The Man`s a real character, and a man after Barn Find Hunter`s heart.
Wow! Another awesome car guy. Could listen and watch him show us stuff for hours.👍
You know, I get the impression that Tom will never run out of barn finds to present to us...
You know it's going to be a good video if it's from Hagerty
Great video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great story tellers days of tales ❤️
Tony worked for Roush, so I'm sure he knows more about Ford engines that just about anyone. Interesting guy! Please come back and revisit Tony and see what kind of progress he is making on his cars.
Great to see a Kiwi flying the flag.
For all these years so many of us in our shops with our old cars as a major part of our lives. What will the youngsters be doing when they get older, restore computers and cell phones?
Thats awesome tony comes originally from very close to where i live in new zealand
I know where a 48 pan head is. It's in an old barn in Terrell, TX. The guy parked it in there in the mid 50's and it been there ever since. It's all there, turns over too.
I just absolutely love Tom Connor I wish I could meet you someday Tom! I’m not just a fan I’m a car guy next time you’re in Massachusetts. Let me know you can come visit my Broncos and Ford pick ups.
For how small a population New Zealand has, it is truly amazing their contribution to Motorsport. F1 world champion Denny Hulme, Bruce McLaren (yes, the McLaren McLaren), greatest ever speedway motorcyclist Ivan Mauger, Katherine Prumm arguably the greatest ever women’s motor cross rider before 2 nasty accident cut her career short. And then there is the current Indy car quartet of Scott Dixon, Scott McLaughlin, Marcus Armstrong & Tom Blomqvist. And then there Burt Munro and a kiwi team broke the world wing assisted land speed record earlier this year. And I haven’t even mentioned their engineers, designers and team managers.
And I’m an Aussie, so hard to give our little brothers a pat on the back, but credit to them.
Thankyou and JOHN BRITTEN!
& Bill Hamilton.. @@Mayor2026
Give Tony his own show!
A guy who may actually get his projects done! A Barn Find first!😂
Thanks, everyone! Great episode!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
A great life well lived with plenty of tread left.
There’s a Kiwi in Northern California that has a fantastic barn find that was on the cover of hot rod magazines the car is called The Hawaiian. He’s restoring it he also has and works on restored vintage race cars including midgets and cars from the 50s and 60s that run the vintage car race circuit. He also has I believe a REO boat tail that’s not totally restored. He builds some fast V-8 60s that have a habit of running in up front.
Love this show
Cool. Happy hunting!
I'm flabbergasted! You're friends with a guy from New Zealand who came to the US and ended up going back and forth between billionaire NASCAR team owners, - and those guys were wealthy but bo where near where they are in the 2020s!
Within the next 15 years it's said that the world will have it's first trillionaire, and I'll bet it's most likely going to be the man or woman who creates something super special involving autos or the transportation world. It seems that mobility goes riright alongside liberty & freedom . It's one if those special people and their innovation that will catapult their fortune into the financial stratosphere and beyond! Awesome!
Great story
Incredible yarns, even for a Kiwi
Excellent
This bloke has an Aussie Kiwi and southern twang. Never heard anything like it! As an Aussie I was pretty confused at the start! Love the show
When I view this type of episode, I always wish for a follow up after a year or two to see what if anything was done!
Making me homesick for Concord
When I was serving in the US Army in Orleans France in 1965-66, I found a Ford Model Y sitting beside a rural home. Wow was that every a cute car. Would have loved to purchase it, but as I was living on base, no place to put it. Opportunity lost:(
Please consider rebuilding the 'Y' as it originally left the factory. I know it is a lot more work, but it would be a real rare car especially in the US
New Zealand english with an american accent has got to be the most hanky-panky doodle shîtee I have ever heard. 😂
Hahaha it kept throwing me out when he would go out of his american accent. Bit of a weird mix.
GOD I swear I met this man at a flea market... was looking at flat head parts and the guy had a pair (One right and one left )of 2 bar 1963 Corvette knock off spinners... he picked up in Australia in the 1970's, only thing he had that was chevrolet. I paid him the $20 he wanted for the pair.
I loved when he said I'm not retired I repurpose my live
I would sweep Tony's floor with my bare hands FOR FREE just to hang around him and his shop.
Seems like he knows a lot about caaahs... 😁
Yeah yeah, Kiwi and Aussie accents are pretty special. Rod & Rhees Millen, Mad Mike Whiddet and all the Australian TH-cam channels (Mighty Car Mods, The Skid Factory, Haltech, CEE Australia) have prepared me for this... 😇🤟
far out i was born in in Ashburton New Zealand
❤❤❤❤❤❤
When V8s were still king....
Wow
So this guy is from Canterbury?? He got a nice old shed..
even with the american twang, i can still spot that south island accent in there
👍
How cool is this??
You can't take NZ out of a Kiwi. I left ChCh in 79 & still fly the Southern Cross.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have a 90% complete 60 flathead that needs a good home.
Knew from the minute he opened his mouth he was a kiwi even after all those years in the states
What brought u here to the states........
Race cars...🇺🇲
You don’t realise how much we sound different to Americans to you hear this
I'm an Australian. His mix of accents is totally weird ................but I enjoyed listening to him. He has an exceptional skillset. I hope he is training younger generations.
oi, any tight abbos over your way champ?
12k for the mercury, good luck in cuckoo land
Tom, I love your show but why do you have to touch and lean on every single car? At 6:40 you literally have your foot on this guys car 😒
I thought Hagerty was a successful company. Surprised they need the money generated from an advertisement in the middle of the videos.
Please sir, may I pick your brain for a couple weeks? I promise I'll hang on every word.
Consumer cellular ad? In the middle of a hagerty marketing tool? Stop it!
Сколько металлолома
A Crummy Consumer Cellular Commercial !!!! Guess someone loves the money more than the cars!
