- Back to basics! Tom hits the road with zero leads and zero intentions of coming home empty-handed. Due to six straight days of bad weather, Tom is forced to leave his 1939 Ford woodie wagon at home and break his number one rule of barn find hunting, driving a classic when hunting for a classic. Driving a modern vehicle is not the best way to hunt for old cars, there were many strikes but lo and behold persistence pays off, the first of many finds was an all original 1966 Volkswagen Beetle with period-correct Barrecrafter surfboard racks. After some more digging Tom finally strikes gold when he meets, Buddy Lackomy. Buddy, is the local car guy that everyone knows and refers to when you have any pressing questions or want to buy any old cars.

The Chevelle guy just needs a weekend and a few friends and that car would be back driving. I liked the vw beetle guy, he was honest and friendly.
Its almost a rarity that a Collector wants to sell old cars *at a reasonable price.* Good on that man for "wanting to sell it all." 👍👍👍
more like a junk hoarder instead of collector
I mean apart from the '39 Chevy I'd say the other 2 cars he mentioned prices on are a bit much. I'd say the old Ford is worth 'round $2000 and the Chevy Rot wagon $500.
Like he said you better know how to weld or have Automotive skills because just what I saw all of them need a lot of work. They would make good custom car's so if some one was to pick one up they don't have to hunt for parts.
@@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge how much will he pay me to remove that junk ?
@@wmcbarker4155 to other people, a car is much more than just a car. It brings people back to a time and a place and makes people feel good and brings people together. And to think other people say, it's old junk. Sad.
"My son wants to take the car and get it running, but i'd rather see someone else take it and enjoy it..." Good Dad.
He probably knows his son will never touch it..
...an embarrassing judgement that didn't need to be aired to the world.
@@OrganGrindersSwing apple don't fall far...
@@someotherdude the man was simply sincere! he knows his boy better than we do! ;)
"So I put a snake in the car." Awesome.
Original organic pest control. Highly cost effective. Very few snakes are poisonous. If you like rodents, kill a snake.
Hey. He can guarantee this car has no critters to be found.
I think there are more Jag sedan park than they’re running. EPIC
Off duty cop carrying a gun and wearing flip flops... Only in the USA
Lmfaoooo
"I love this car"..... Car has a thick dust tan and hasn't been driven in years...
Sometimes just to see a car will give you smile on you face. You can walk around, seat inside. And life happens as well.
I bet you could get that car nearly back on the road in a weekend
Some people believe dust are natural protection coat for your paint. just saying..
Yeah, he loves that car so much, he has let the engine seize up, the tires go flat, and everything else basically rot away. I know lots of guys like him.
Tom,
Thanks for the best way to start off a new year.
My offer still stands.. I will wash all your cars for a ride along...
Looking forward to a wonderful year and your finds...
I got a better offer. I will wash your cars and your dishes. Mow the lawn and do the laundry. This is moms account so l am not here
@@smritirekharowe6945 Such a deal!
@@smritirekharowe6945 Hi, I am Indranath Banerjee and I used to know a Smrirekha Sarkhel, in Tatanagar, India. Any connection.
Hey Tom and the CREW !!!! This is one of the best ways to START a new Decade !!!! You all ROCK !!!! I gotta get my 67 Impala ss reserected ! And this channel keeps the dream alive !!! Thanks
You are going to have to wait until next year to start that new decade.
Lunar o
send me information were this vehicles are
That's the typical aircooled VW owner 😂😂😂
Big guy, big beard and a beetle...
But those are the vw owners I like most.
I'd be interested in buying that beetle.
"had it running 6 months ago"
* water pump seized *
Some hard water lol
Maybe the belt's off...that could be why he even checked the pump.
Roy Thought the same damn thing!
I can start a car with a frozen water pump. Not all that hard
@@R0yL33 When an engine starts, it runs. If he would have said runs&drives, that's another story.
The cop was like, I dont trust Tom and all these cameras guys around my car, I'll carry my 9 mil just in case haha
and wears a batman T-shirt while not working. lol
@@NOSUBSCRIBERSWANTED LOL---SO many mixed messages there..........
It's cool that he is prepared no matter where or when. Today one might need in a church or their own backyard. Cool car too.
Look at me with my 9 mil, Im a tough guy ..lol

What a good way to start 2020!

Can’t think of a better start!!
"I don't wanna go where pickers been"
Harken back to high school:
"I wouldn't date her she dated what's his name"
I think he means pickers like American Pickers scrap and antique guys
@@SchaferTheRicer exactly
I watched about 5 hours of this show yesterday and here I am watching it again my GF thinks I'm nuts LOL!!
same here LOL... its addicting.... Just tell the GF there are far more worse things you could spend your time doing.
I did about the same bro TAZ!!
yeah....so what is her point? Happy New Year!
Take her for a ride to old car hunting and classic car auctions, might sparks her interest.
Need to take my ‘66 out barn find hunting 😉 love this stuff!
The look on Tom's face when hearing the snake story, priceless!
"Have enough money that i'll have a garage at my house" Clean out the one you got now.
Myles Swann I don’t think he’s living at that property currently
What cool cars you guys have!Your country has provided you with excellent cars that are a pleasure to deal with!
It's made not provided. because we have freedom to made everything, commies!
Hello. My name is Roman, I'm from Russia. As a car enthusiast, I really liked your content. I could offer you the following idea, we could translate your content into Russian and you will have 1 million more fans.

@@ЮрикНовиков-м5ф Ditto
I’ve got a 1953 Ford Customline Fordor that I was going to restore upon retirement. It’s not going to happen now. I’d sell it if there’s anyone interested. Original flathead V8 with manual trans with overdrive. Yes I have the title! No I’m not parting it out, wanting to find somebody who’s into restoration of vintage cars.
"I love this car"
The car: *in a miserable state*
License plate is PHYX1US pronounced "Fix Us".
coming to a tv show in flip flops and a gun....says alot about the man..
@12:36 you're standing in front of a 29' Chris-Craft Catalina 291! Probably around a 1968 model year! I wish your photographer would have shown a bit more of the boats, but... you do "Barn-Find Cars" :) (I shared this video to a Chris-Craft Boat Group, on Facebook) :D
The Chevelle is a nice color combination.
That rat snake story was the best!!!!
Head=lump=lump=tail==>
😂
The walking for miles to buy the chevelle is a cool story,um,but accessorizing flip flops with a pistol on the hip,really Reilly? Lol must be really worried about those varmints in the barn huh? Lol! Wonder if he's got a bathrobe holster too? Lol!!! Oh my.
17:20
It's a 60 impala not a 59
Looks like a Bisquik.
@@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus what those I might have seen them and don't remember the name
@@oldfoxy0542 Biscayne.
True, that is a '60
GO SEARCH "Jonathan W" on you tube!!!! right in your own back yard
no middle ground ..I was thinking the same thing..
Yes! This right here! All Jonathan’s stuff runs and he has videos to back it all up!
@@DieselDoc78 well,... not ALL, but most... he is a wrecker service operator/owner
@no middle ground -while you are correct, I guess I overstated. I have been subscribed for over 2 years and that man is really talented!
Huh, that's my name! Wait, or is it....
That was a 60 Chevy and pretty sure a Bel Air. The 53 Chevy wagon engine was a 235. 1952 was the last year for the 216’s.
Not original engine to car
Not true. !953 was the last year.Anything with a stick shift came with a 216. All else were 235's.
So my 52 is a 216
@@michaeldavis6556 the side cover on a 216 is much longer (top to bottom) than a 235 and covers the spark plugs. It also has solid lifters. A 235's are hydraulic and the side cover begins below the head. The valve cover on a 216 have two bolts through the top of the cover while a 235 has screws all the way around the outside edge.
I will check . what size motor would have been in the 69 Camaro straight 6
I think it’s bout time you showed us your ‘barn’ . I saw a mustang but I know everyone would like to see your collection big or small. I know you’re a ford guy (sad) but still would like see❗️🇺🇸
I Absolutely LOVE these videos. They are enlightening and depressing at the same time. The majority of the people say they are going to "fix them up" or want to sell them. ( If someone will do all the paper work) I can see a very high percentage of all the vehicles in all the videos just turning back to iron ore where they sit.
Awesome, he's got Rat Fink on the back window, lol!!
Id like to buy that 53 chevy wagon!
I'd love that wagon even though it would take a ton of metal work to get it looking good... I'm interested !
Tom is that original paint .VW guy yea yes it's original paint .The clear paint was pealing all over IMAO !
That was 1960 chevy biscayne , looks nothing like ‘59.
Tom you have made it a science . Good tips when hunting. Thanks
Doing it in the rain ... strike four.
I find your encyclopedic knowledge of cars incredible. So many cars nowadays look alike. It's nice to see someone who really knows what's what!
"Nobody's hotrodding Mercedes"
*New Zealand and Australia has entered the chat*
lol yea here in Sweden we got a bunch of 1000 hp Mercedes...not to forget the "go low" people ..
not drive something old - drive something unusual - like my 07 Saturn Sky with a 427LS :)
I just checked it out on your channel. That looks like it was an exercise in packaging. Nice job.
"So we're gonna put the Woodie away, and take the most boring car we could find out for a ride"
Daytona 500 Sunday????? My calender says Jan 2...LOL
Living in the uk, it astonishes me how you guys have so much land that you don’t do anything with it but store either old cars or tons of junk. Only seriously rich individuals or farmers have that amount of land in the uk 😀🤷♂️
That's why UK sucks. Move here
That's why UK sucks. Move too u.s
You folks gave been living on that land with lots more decendants than here in the US.
Our country is massive compared to the UK
That's why European more efficient on everything. From car comparison itself you can clearly tell how worse American wasting resources.
What use is owning a lot of stuff is you're just gonna let it decay and end up not being worth anything. Its a tmighty thin line between 'collecting' and hoarding.
Come on Tom, that was a 1960 Chevy, not a 59
what is his contact?
I like the wagon
Should driven that 4 speed Ford Country Squire. That gets folks attention.
I love the old Beetles. I owned a few many years ago.
What years were your bugs? I had a '61, two sunroof '62's, a '63, and a '66. And my dad had a '60. My red '62 was my first car. And my other white '62 I decked out like Herbie, 53s, stripes and all.
I know a guy in Cameron NC with a bunch of old cars he's owns a towing service. He's a real nice guy loves old cars and loves to rescue them and fix them
That sounds like Jonathan W who has a channel on here,he has lots of old cars that he's always tinkering with to bring back from the dead.
@@rogercamp6071 BINGO!! that's the man I was talking about
ALRIGHT! Here's the new episode from the end of the Marathon live stream! Thanks Tom and Crew, ur cool dudes...
/w\METAL&CARS/w\
I know a guy in Rocky Top Tn. That has a 57 for Fairlane wagon, and I have a 75 Chevy Laguna, and I know of another guy with a 56 Chevy cherry top.
The VW guy was awesome!!
Looking like the 3 rules in this case have proven to be legitimate.
Good showing none the less.
You could also talk to the garbage man they're up and down every road in every neighborhood they see a lot of stuff I should know I'm a garbage man
You can ALWAYS break the rules and find a VW owner that will happily talk to you! We are all family 😉I paid $50 for my first beetle...a 1962 ruby red!
I’m sure that 59 is already gone. I just bought a 59 two door Sport Coupe Impala 348 that was restored about 15-17 years ago.
I had a '60 Chevy Biscayne 2-door, three on the tree 6-cyl when in high school and college. The exact same color as in this article. My dad sold it while I was in Vietnam in 1970 for $350 because it was just sitting at our house in Garden Grove CA (kept getting tickets to move it). I would love to get that car and restore it! So many great memories of drive-ins and beach trips in it. Please let me know if it's still available and the contact information (I never thought I would ever see one like it again). Great show Tom, keep them coming. I also have a 1953 Dual-Streak Pontiac Cheiftain that I am restoring.
Hagerty you should come out to Bakersfield CA and Oildale CA my Papas out here has a 1950 Simca and 1972 Plymouth Roadrunner Sebring plus and a Ford pickup truck I think its a 1960 maybe 50 Im not too sure but the Simca is worth seeing it not rebuilt but its from italiy .
Great video to start the new year!
what's with the cop off duty with his gun
must be an american thing
no its an annoying cop thing not an american thing
17:17 That's a 1960 Chevrolet.
The "rat rod" comment made me cringe.
2020 will be the year the "rat rods" finally die off.
Stop building shitty Clown Cars!!
I would pay so much, to take a trip doing barn finds in the woodie and gain so much knowledge from Tom. I wish their were a way I could win that opportunity. There should be! 2 millionth sub should win this! @HAGERTY I want you to see this and maybe like it. Would also have to listen to surf city by Jan & Dean because of the first two lines in the song, and their would have to be 4 girls in the woodie ;)
So is my car old enough? It is 53 years old (its a AutoBianchi biancina Panoramica)
Yes, it qualify's as old and wierd and longest name! Sounds BadA$$!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS its a italian car company that started as a Bike company but because of the war they needed cars so Germany whas building then beetle ect and the colours where gray or black or something else and AutoBianchi where building brightly coulored cars. (My english isnt the best) and there are only 3 of these in holland
old enough for what?
why not to drive the Ford station wagon????????????????.
I'm sure it's kind of sketchy in the rain.
If you were talking about the woodie the rain would damage the woodwork.
@@MrStacy1974 Tom's got that Country Squire now too with faux wood, the rare stickshift and Cobra Jet, remember?
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS I know he has the country squire that what I originally responded to .
Old cars can be a bit sketchy in the rain if you're spoiled by all of the built in nannies of modern cars.
@@MrStacy1974 Hells Yeah, I remember 1995, 4am, after working all night, trying to drive home uphill, after about 3 inches of snow, in my 500hp 383 Stroker Sleeper 1983 FireBird on $10 a piece de-studded used bald tires personally! Took about an hour for what's normally 5 minutes. 30years later I got 4x4 on demand but it's an 18yr old truck now & 2002 don't seem all that long ago. The FireBird is in my Burnouts & Boobs video in the Cars & METAL playlist
That old guy should just call the junkman for most of those cars. I believe that junk guys are paying $0.08 a pound now?
----
Obviously he should take the leaves off of most of those cars, just helps to collect moisture, but I don't think he's up to it.
Cop: No i don't want to sell it. I love this car.
Cop 30 years later, car still in the same spot with the garage falling down around it: No i don't want to sell it, i love this car!
That's called hoarding my man lol. If you in fact loved that car you would pass it on to someone that would bring it back to life
It kills me that I can’t go and bring those cars back with me so they don’t rust away
Love your videos Tom... if you should ever come to Washington you really need to check out Bergstrom's Antique and Classic Autos in Port Townsend. Robin's inventory is phenomenal, from cars to automobilia of all types.... It's an institution here!
That last guy had a Rabbit Pickup I wouldn't mind having.
Well now that's an ambitious project, says captain understatement! Hahaha!
If you are ever in Northern Ca stop by I have a 1956 210 , 1954 5 window pu and my 90 year old neighbor has 2 1967 cad's and 1963 Valiant 1968 Ford pu.
Ya know of all the videos of barn finds and huge lost junk yards I have yet to see what I am looking for. A 1960 Plymouth Fury 2dr ht. Not much to ask for. I guess chevy heads and ford hearts are happy. But just a part car with the small amount of sheet metal me looking for isn't too much to ask is it?
Hey, thank you for the video, congrats reaching 1M subscribers
My Wife used to get embarrassed by me stopping to talk about Cars one day in Montana near where I had grown up but it was my wife’s first time to Montana I turned around and my wife says Samuel the sign says Private Property I said ya but it doesn’t say keep out I’m just gonna knock on the Door well the owner turned out to be an awesome guy he is sure we are Brothers Separated at Birth but I think the Good Lord just used the same clay to make the Molds for all us Ford Guys.
My Wife since then has made me turn around and go back to look at Cars she loves old Wagons and Her Growing love of cars has really made our Marriage even better 27 years and Counting
you should go visit the old bar where they filmed the barn scenes in Days of Thunder, it is by the YMCA in Mooresville, NC
I am pleased that so many people are resurrecting old things across the spectrum but I hate you guys. :>)
i used to find great buys because no one was doing this kind of stuff years ago..
now everyone is getting into it and the market is drying up and all the great stuff is getting grabbed up or getting prohivatable expensive.
Oh well.....jerks!
You would have to have a 69 Chevelle although it wasn't a s s I still wish I had my two that I purchased my junior year and senior year in high school the first onewas a true SS which I blew up the engine in it and I had a job working part-time after-school and needed a ride and I panicked and sold the car because I couldn't find an engine for it right away and turn around and bought a Malibu SS which is a 396 car with a turbo 400 and bench seatwhich the original engine had been blown up and a measly old 307 put in its place after I graduated and got a full-time job I purchased an old pickup truck and bought a 65 Chevelle 327 engine and rebuild it and put it in and I had the paint strip down to bare metal and had it painted 79 Corvette blue and purchased all new interior for it and trimbut before I got the interior and trim taken care of I was forced into get rid of the car because of divorce Court 😒
Guy with the 35 ford says hes had for 6-8 months lol... hilarious. I actually feel bad for that guy and since we're all watching this video lets face it we're all just about one step away from becoming that guy.
THIS IS MY DREAM CAR!LOL,WTF.sitting in a garage surrounded by junk and no car cover..what an idiot,walks out there with flip flops on also?dont get these people..will be junk at some point.
Anti mice contraption used by 4 generations of our family. 5 lbs coffee can or large juice can set on a larger dish pan. Like a steel pie pan . Don't use a flimsy aluminum cheap pie pans . Set a piece of plywood on the passenger floorboard because that has the most room and less likely to accidentally knock the can over.. Place steel pie on top of it . place the coffee can or large juice can in the pie pan open side up . before putting it in the car fill the can about 3 in and the bottom with diesel fuel . I like to use off road diesel which is same as fuel oil be used to burn in the furnaces because of the additional reddish color they put in it and as that color darkens it's a good indication that it's time to change the diesel fuel and put in fresh usually about 1 to 3 years in intervals. be careful when you set it in the pie pan. Leave the windows rolled up and the field mice stay out. The plywood is intended to keep the still pie pan from leaving rust stains. And it catches any accidental spills hopefully. Also a tall can is used to help prevent the pills. It acts as a chimney as well to let the odor and fumes of the diesel fuel out and Float around the car . that's it and air out for a couple of days no longer smell the diesel fuel when you're ready to do something with the car. I have a Dodge Charger perfect example I bought from the original owner somebody got into it took the diesel hand out and then Mouse just tore up the whole interior like nothing I've ever seen, cuz like they were getting revenge! We have used this on hundreds of cars and it has work . no guarantees in life. You can try the snake thing if you like parrot by the way my son uses this idea my grandfather would be 130 years old if he was still with us literally hundreds of cars over the years love the show and would like to find a really good Builder Volkswagen bug for my son floor pan and other typical rust are the major concerns.
Flip flops. And a gun...
I drove a Marina Blue 67 SS Chevelle in high school. 1971 - 1973. Of all the cars I've had, I didn't let that one get away. It will be back on the road soon... And that was a 1960 Chevy in the video. My first car ever was a 60 2 door Biscayne...
This has been my dream car since I was little ... I cant even be bothered to pump up the tyres. So many people talk crap on this series.
Flip flops and a gun...
Tom, You are in my neck of the woods near Oak Island North Carolina. I go by that old junk yard almost every week didn't realize it had some of those neat cars
My kinda guy batman who carries a glock .thanks for your service brother. Hoorah 😉🇺🇲🇺🇲
Tom, I really wonder what you say to people when you go knock at their door to have them interested. As a rather introverted car guy, that first step is what makes my anxiety kick in!!
I'd be interested in either of those Bugs - you just need some metric tools & a little love. And a 350-powered Mercedes? Oh yeah, that would draw attention at the golf course - esp. w/a 6-71 blower sticking through the hood..."Park this carefully, Jeeves! Mind the patina!" LOL
Do this... for the love of TH-cam put a 6-71 Roots blower out the hood of one of them old bulbous diesel Mercedes and I'd watch!
I was in love with a 53 bel air when I was a kid near my house . Then it just disappeared.
That's ridiculous. I may have built that car at the KC Chevy plant and they were junk new and junk now. Suckers.
That's a 1960 Chevy. Not a 1959 Chevy.Not a Mercedes, Buick Riviera.
At 7:37 minutesin. An off duty officer feels the need to carry an open weapon......glad I don't live in America. Sorry!
This is super cool! Watched probably 50 episodes of this the last few weeks and always thought it would be cool to see an episode close to home. This one was it! Came to my town of Wilmington and over into Brunswick county all in one episode, super cool!! Let me know next time you come I could probably point you towards a couple old cars!
I have a 1952 Chevy business coupe for 10, 000 o b o daily Driver in St. Pete, FL.
ought to chck out Johnathan wimans 77 Line Rd
Cameron, North Carolina 28326 has a lot of old cars
This is an amazing series! The videography, the stories, the characters - outstanding! Also very interesting insights into American culture from my European perspective!
As an Englishman I find the carrying of a side arm very off putting and quite insulting! Why feel the need to arm yourself in such a situation?
Ep. 71 is great! Keep them coming.
