Our Family we used to have a 1965 Plymouth Valiant we drove the tires off that car and it only had a 225 Slant 6 but those small engines were bullet proof you could always get them to run. That's a great find. Thanks for the video.
I've watched your videos for the last few years and have come to realize you're very lucky to have a friend like Hans. What a warm, wonderfully kind person.
Chairs were probably made by Standard Tube in Woodstock, ON. Every school had "millions" of them, you had to lay out for big meetings etc.....if you went to school in the fifties.
Just last week I've lost my job and got into a career change wanting to do exactly what you do! And just find your channel a couple days later. I'll keep watching for sure!
The stereotype of the ‘shady’ antique dealer couldn’t be further from the truth regarding you Alex. You’re the most generous buyer, fixer upper, dream maker & all round flipping diamonds that ever dealt in antiques. If I had a hoard on my hands- I’d be happy to have you deal with it if I couldn’t. (‘House clearance people in my area have zero humanity) Every community so desperately needs an Alex & co
Alex you and your friends are totally awesome. You have some great friends. I absolutely love your videos. You have a wonderful family and lots of great friends.
Just found my own barn find here in BC....but mine has been sitting since 1965! Its an old Grumman van....and he had more than one! I have plans for mine but the other one would made a good van for hauling antique goods! ;)
This was exciting for me. My very first brand new car was a '64 Valliant 2 dr post with a 225 slant 6. Ah, those teen years. Great memories. I changed the hub caps out for "baby moons" and moved the shifter from the column to the floor, then jacked up the front tortion bars so the car sat like a "California raked" gasser. Thanks for the memories good buddy. 🙄
@@bradzimmerman3171 thanks for the comment Brad. I was a kid just 17, when I got that car. Dad paid up the bill, and I paid him in full, incl. Interest, over the next 2 yrs. The hub caps were the first change, so it wouldn't look like I was borrowing my dad or mom's car. They would never put "baby moons" on their car. None of what I did to make that car "look mean" make It faster, although the Fenton floor shifter was spring loaded for fast 1st to 2nd shift. What great old memories. Cheers! ✌ P.S. the whole car, brand new was only $2,200.00
I just love these videos sharing your treasure hunting and adventures. Thanks for all your efforts and taking the time to film all this for us. It can’t be easy. 👍🏻
I drove a 1974 4-door Plymouth Valiant. The thing was a tank...so well made. It ran for years and years. Damn fine vehicle. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore.
I would’ve laughed my butt off if you had opened the door to the attic and waiting for you was a squirrel holding pine cones. 😂 Hans is the human version of an anti depressant. Hans could make anyone feel better!
Another fun adventure with Alex and friends :) My dad used to buy cars like that in the early 70's for a couple hundred and tune them up and drive them for work cars.
Tell Hans and Zenovia(?) that there's a secondary filter inside the plastic cone. It's at the base of the motor. That is usually why Filter Queens lose suction.
Those add on tail lights are wild. I remember old rural postal carriers who used their own cars would do this as they made so many frequent stops they wanted extra lights to make them more visible.
I recognize those Canadian Tire seat covers. My mom put a set on our 1970 LTD when I was a kid. When we sold it after 8 years the seats were perfect underneath.
Always fun to come along on your adventures. Hoping the someday soon you will come across the bridge and dig through my moms estate with me! Found lots of toy cars during the Sunday live feed last week and so many watchers said they are cars you collect! Not redlines though!
I love watching this channel, It's always nice seeing the things of the past still living on. Watching every video and hoping to learn more about the past history. Good work guys and ladies, keep them coming. if you ever come to the UK I'd love meet you guys..
I played Go to the Head of the Class game growing up. It was from my mom's childhood. She probably played it in the 1940s. I remember it as a fun game, although a bit dated by the time I played it. How cool to see it again!
My parents had a filter Queen it was amazing! It reminds me of R2D2, 😂. I know Pan Am in NY used to use them to vacuum the planes that’s why my Dad bought it. He worked for Pan Am from after WWII till 1983
Love the lights on the trunk, that really sets it off. This would make a great go to town car, drive in milkshake mobile, coffee getter. Spend a couple days cleaning and buffing it might surprise you.
Awesome find,👌👌👌👌👍👍👍if that car has been in a barn, that means it has been garaged , not outside where it could rust even further, once it is power washed, cleaned it would look nice all original
It's alway a fun video when Hans and Zinovia show up! That car... whoa, Alex. It will be quite a project, but maybe you can get it to a point where someone can buy it and take over the rehab.
Alberta is looking quite wonderful this time of year. Spent several visits in Lethbridge in the late 1990s. Was a little cold and windy in the winter...lol
Another neat find…I love the colour of this vintage Valiant and the lights on the back fenders. And stop laughing at that old Filter Queen vacuum…that’s what I’m still using🥴😉Lol‼️
Great find, nice little car. I once rented a house with a car buried in the garage. It was really packed in. I only noticed it because I had to flip a circuit breaker. It was the woman's uncles car.
I had a Ford Taurus on my property for only 2 years and I was greeted with squirrels nests and moldy seats when I retrieved it. It must be the barn and colder than 2 New England US winters that 40 years in storage looked so much better.
I don't think i've ever seen one like that before,cool...you remind me of my uncle who had over 450 cars in his first 65 years. I wish he hadn't thown out his pictures of them
The car has a US-spec '63 Dodge Dart C-pillar and tail end, but a '63 Plymouth Valiant front end. Such a hybrid was probably a standard Canadian model.
Thanks for the video. I always enjoy seeing old cars coming out of garages and into the light. That car has an American Valiant front end and a Dodge rear end. (Canadian version I guess.)
This car brings back memories for me, my dad had a valiant as well, a later model with 4 doors and he sold it in '77 or'78 because of the rust to the body.
A big HELLO from Beautiful Thunder Bay Ontario Canada. LOVE your videos, ALWAYS entertaining and educational. THANK YOU for sharing your ADVENTURES and your knowledge and information about antiques. 👍😊👍
A Valiant w/88,000 miles? That means hardly no rust or ANY rust on the body! Good score, Alex! I hope that gent lowered the price because YOU & Charlie had to unearth the car? Hi Charlie! You need to get out more- maybe help Alex fix this Valiant up! If it was myself...I would have taken a look at those dining room chairs...
I loved my '63 Valiant..drove it for a decade...

Alberta is so beautiful in June. I lived in Alberta for 25 years and your drive out here reminded me (bugs and all!).
Loved that old garage/shed, it had a lot of charm! Hans and Zinovia and Charlie, what great friends! XXX
Nice to see Hans and Zinovia and Charlie again! Thanks for taking us along on this adventure!
The sound of those attic latches turning is golden. I could feel them turning in my hand just listening to them! The small things
I love it when Alex finds cars big and small , he’s like a kid at Christmas. Lol. Such fun to watch.
Me too Bertha. I love sharing his joy and enthusiasm
Seems like nice people.
The stack of chairs that were just there as you opened the door.... Be still my heart!!! I just love seeing what you uncover!
Those chairs caught my eye too.
The most uncomfortable chairs ever invented! Dont miss those at all.
Me too, would be perfect with my eBay dining room table
Chairs were probably made by Standard Tube in Woodstock, ON. Every school had "millions" of them, you had to lay out for big meetings etc.....if you went to school in the fifties.

You are always a good time Alex, Hans and Zenovia. thanks
WOW, a Valiant front end and a Dart rear end. How cool is that! Love the Canadian variants on these cars. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Michigan.
I just loved seeing the views too. So beautiful there.
Alex you and your friends are totally awesome. You have some great friends. I absolutely love your videos. You have a wonderful family and lots of great friends.

Keith did the hubcaps improve performance, wheel covers are as useful as bumper stickers and engine covers best to throw away at nearest garbage can

You have such a fun job, Alex! And I love Hans’ laugh! It make me smile each time I hear it.
I love when Hans laughs. He does it with such a joy
😂😂😂😂
I just love these videos sharing your treasure hunting and adventures. Thanks for all your efforts and taking the time to film all this for us. It can’t be easy. 👍🏻
Was not expecting that. Hans and Zenovia really think of you . Now you can say you have dumpster diving friends. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤

No more pine cones😄🙈
Hans is a gem, he needs to be protected at all cost 🧡
I agree!! Hans is awesome!! One of a kind!!
@@Picca65 The pine cones could be the running joke in all his barn and house searches!!! 🐿
@@sundance81677 for sure they are!!😄
Sometimes my brain tends to misread things. I thought you wrote that "Hans is the human version if an anti-perspirant".
Thanks for the share Alex! Another great adventure to watch
Another fun adventure with Alex and friends :) My dad used to buy cars like that in the early 70's for a couple hundred and tune them up and drive them for work cars.
My first car in 1986 was a red 1969 Plymouth Valiant. I loved that car and wish I still had it.
So glad there were no raccoons or squirrels to get you! You have/make such wonderful friends. It is wonderful to see them.
I remember that style car. Yes I'm older.
That car is great! Those things rusted away fast, so that’s in wonderful shape! Good score!
Totally enjoy when you find cars. Hans is a hoot.
Tell Hans and Zenovia(?) that there's a secondary filter inside the plastic cone. It's at the base of the motor. That is usually why Filter Queens lose suction.
Those add on tail lights are wild. I remember old rural postal carriers who used their own cars would do this as they made so many frequent stops they wanted extra lights to make them more visible.
They were a postman actually!
@@CuriosityIncorporated Well there you go!
Love the unusual copper bronze color on the car! She’ll turn out beautiful I’ll bet!
The car is so cool. Good find. Thank you Alex.
That barn is a beauty in itself!
I remember my friend's parents out in St. Albert had one of those when I was a kid. Love old cars.
What a nice surprise on this Monday morning
I loved "Go to the Head of the Class"! Got me started on knowledge games, and made Jeopardy my favorite tv show!
Fantastic car brings back memories love it.
Thanks for taking me on the adventure.
I recognize those Canadian Tire seat covers. My mom put a set on our 1970 LTD when I was a kid. When we sold it after 8 years the seats were perfect underneath.
Can't wait to see it all shined up! It reminds me of an old commercial car. Lol. That calendar was so cool. I used to work for CIBC.
Snow shoes, so Canadian! 😁 Possibly the tidiest 50 year shed ever tho
And the picture of the old King and Queen make it even more so
"Needs a bit of work because it's been sitting since the 70's." You just described ME!
😂
😂
Now that's funny!
🤣🤣
LOL, me too!

Mmmm... Good find. I'm a valiant guy and I envy anyone with a Canadian Valiant. I have a 66', myself. Those slant six engines will just keep runnin'!
Hooray, I’m early! I hope the auction went well for you, and that you have plenty to share with the homeowners. ❤️
I played Go to the Head of the Class game growing up. It was from my mom's childhood. She probably played it in the 1940s. I remember it as a fun game, although a bit dated by the time I played it. How cool to see it again!
Neat Canadian Valiant. It has Plymouth front end and the rest is Dodge Dart sheet metal.
Canadian Valiant, with a Dart back end, love to have it.
It's a Plodge
It's a "Vart." Or a "Darliant."
I want to join your fan club, I am definitely a groupie. I love your show. We are pirates looking for treasure, Aar.
Wow…all the most interesting people with the most interesting stuff to sell must call you, Alex. Your reputation precedes you.👍
He is a true gem!
I love those red blinkers on the back of that car!
My first car was a 65 barracuda.. watching this makes my day..
My parents had a filter Queen it was amazing! It reminds me of R2D2, 😂. I know Pan Am in NY used to use them to vacuum the planes that’s why my Dad bought it. He worked for Pan Am from after WWII till 1983
Charlie did look good in that car. I actually like that car.
Hans’ laugh is the best thing to improve your day!
I LOVE the time capsule cars, building, etc.
Drove from Montreal to Virginia Beach in 76, in a Valiant convertible. A model from the 60s.
Those stacked chairs are beautiful!!
Love the lights on the trunk, that really sets it off. This would make a great go to town car, drive in milkshake mobile, coffee getter. Spend a couple days cleaning and buffing it might surprise you.
How fun! You have a beautiful day in your favor too.
Awesome find,👌👌👌👌👍👍👍if that car has been in a barn, that means it has been garaged , not outside where it could rust even further, once it is power washed, cleaned it would look nice all original

Those posters seem very interesting. Maybe something really good in there. 😎😎😎
The Mexican jumping bean one made me laugh. I would frame it. It would sure be a conversation piece.
Alberta is looking quite wonderful this time of year. Spent several visits in Lethbridge in the late 1990s. Was a little cold and windy in the winter...lol
So nice to see Hans and his girlfriend in top shape ! You've done a great deed with this man, son !

Great find, nice little car. I once rented a house with a car buried in the garage. It was really packed in. I only noticed it because I had to flip a circuit breaker. It was the woman's uncles car.
I love those tail lights!
1955 or 1956 Imperial tail lights added on.
I had a Ford Taurus on my property for only 2 years and I was greeted with squirrels nests and moldy seats when I retrieved it. It must be the barn and colder than 2 New England US winters that 40 years in storage looked so much better.
love that sweet tractor. And you guys worked hard to get the car free.
I don't think i've ever seen one like that before,cool...you remind me of my uncle who had over 450 cars in his first 65 years. I wish he hadn't thown out his pictures of them

@@AL-jb1mh Yup, those lights on top of the fender were add-ons. I had a '65 Valiant, one of the best cars I ever owned. Can't find one these days.

I love going on these hunting and rescue adventures with you folks ♥
I had a 63 with push button automatic transmission. Water tank it was! Plymouth it was 14 years old when I got it.
I still have my 1963 Plymouth, Fury though, also push button.
Was anyone else waiting for a critter to jump out when he opened the trick door?😂😂
Barn find car videos are the best
It's a time capsule in there. Look at the folding lawn chairs! Reminds me of my grandma's.
I love your car/truck finds knowing they will find new homes. I hope that family you gave that Mustang to got working on it?
I get the distinct impression that these people did not like being part of a video!
OMG! You are a determined man!

Don't worry Melissa,, just think CHA CHING..... Happy husband HAPPY wife...... Success....
I have a 65 dart gt and a 66 dart gt both are 273 4 barrel 4 speed cars but the 66 is a Canadian built car. Love the early a-bodies. Great score.
