- During a visit to San Diego, Tom gets a lead on a couple unique cars way outside of the city. He and the woody hit the road and arrive at Randy Carlson's house a few hours later. As it turns out, Randy has more than just a couple cars and, to Tom's delight, a good number of fun stories to accompany them. After checking out some Fords, Packards, Volkswagens, a Lincoln, and some old Hondas, Randy pulls back the cover on an interesting custom Porsche coupe, hand-built in Germany by a design school.

That Porsche start up at the end was just beautiful. Thank you.
Incredible the people who are out there you find. One of the best episodes ever. The fact this man researched every car history and even has his first car is amazing. The love for the automobile is truly an amazing thing.
Absolutely fascinating! Great guy and best Barn Find Hunter ever!
The combination of cars, history, stories and Randy himself, truly a joy to watch. Thanks.
If Porsche would see this video here in germany they probably be very happy about this thing :-) such a cool collection wow
i think they will give ai loot oooff mooonnneeeeeyyyyyyy! In Stuttgart they go mad about everything about this!!!
@@glasbroeslerberlin5849 nicht wirklich. Ist ja kein Porsche sondern eine privater Umbau mit Porsche Teilen und einem Karmann Ghia Chassis. Dazu jede Menge VW Käfer Teile. Er ist auch als VW wegen dem Chassis registriert. Wird verkauft für 75.000$.
I used to look at every old car and think of how I could refurbish it. This gentleman has definitely changed my outlook. I loved the line about finding someone for the Lincoln.
Scott Johnston I've restored a lot of cars, the process is wonderful and I will certainly do more, but lately I'm focused on enjoying things as they are and just making the most of it. Not every car needs to be restored to show level to be enjoyed. I also don't hold any of these cars too tightly...when one goes it makes room for something new...and my favorite one is ALWAYS the NEXT ONE!
" I just bought it to look at" I like this guy!
sixtyfiveford Yeah...I’m a sicko 😂
In the BEST way :)
@@Carchaeology can i have it please I'll make it new even if it takes me 50 years, il fly there and drive it back to Patagonia
Amazing episode! Amazing guy. Every single car was a surprise, had a story and was absolutely unique. Thanks for making these.
OH WOW! I know where that rusty bug was sitting for the longest time when he mentioned in the Pismo Beach area! I got my first VW from there as well! I wish I took more pictures looking back. But the yard was owned by a VW collector he never really restored any of the cars but he had lots of projects. The old man died and left it all to his son Randy and that was his bug that he drove around it was the only one that ran from the yard. He liquidated the entire yard and sold everything including the land. The area is known as "The Mesa" in Arroyo Grande. It overviews all of Oceano Dunes and all the sand goes up there and gets over everything. As well as the sulfur and other crap from the industrial equipment around the area caused the amount of rust you can clearly see. It's incredible though how well all those cars lasted despite how long they sat. I am just amazed that I am seeing a that same VW from that same yard just a few miles away from me. I wish it was still there but now it's a completely different lot. There were ton's of vintage one of a kind VW's there that I wish I had the money to get my hands on. But I am sure they all went to the right home as they were priced very fair.
When going northbound isn't he on the right? That place looks awfully familiar to me also.
Tom. You nailed this episode. I was glued to the screen. Wow. Out of all the vloggers on You Tube your show wins hands down.
Randy was great, make him the Hagerty barnfind West Coast corespondent!
john jaekels Sign me up! I’d be all over an assignment like that!!
Please don't ever stop making these videos!
WOW.. there are some "earthy" cars as you said LOL
Tom and Company..I can't thank you guys enough for these wonderful episodes. Truly enjoyable watching, Randy is a great guy. Just a real down to earth, regular guy. And to double the length of the shows just adds to the richness. Thank you guys and have a great day. Ken
I must admit that I'm so envious of you Americans because you have the coolest old cars, i absolutely love watching these videos, why have you got to have all the fun eh? Lucky bastards lol
Jas Ward well every country has cool cars for example id like a nissan stageo or a toyota chaser but they did not came to the american market
@@Sebast1an89 in my comment I said "OLD" cars, the ones you mentioned are not old cars, yes I agree the other countries have cool old cars like Germany's old Beetle which was exported world wide as you know and my country has a few cars that have cult following like Mk1 and Mk2 Ford escorts, the original mini, Ford Capri, the Ford XR range as well as the older cars like MGs etc yes some countries have some cool old cars but in my opinion the US has got every country beat when it comes to OLD cars and I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows this.
@@thegit8698 wow thanks for loving old American Detroit steel !
@OubaDubaTuba Baby boomers are not the ones to blame. It is the millennial and X-gen that don't want to have anything to do with cars. I'm a baby boomer and most of us want to perpetuate the classic car enthusiasm forever. We just hope that we can buy fuel to run them. Just try to get someone under 25 interested in an old car. If it isn't electric or something hopped up on nitrous, they aren't remotely interested. Really sad. I take all of my cars to car shows and share information about them. VERY RARELY there will be a teenager interested in my V12 XJS. I'll spend as much time answering questions as they want to spend asking. How is that making sure nobody has any fun any more?
@OubaDubaTuba It sure looks that way it's a huge power struggle between good and evil in american politics now, some want to ruin the country and some want to save it, Just guess who is the good and who is the evil... Wish us luck!! God Bless America.
What a fantastic and interesting guy. You’ve met some lovely, generous and friendly people through this series. I often wonder if you’ve met the other kind too but didn’t have anything to present because of their attitude. This collection is quirky and charming - gems of all levels of value. I like my cars ‘earthy’ too. The 30’s Ford appeals to me far more like that than as a gleaming hot rod, and the Honda twins and VW bus seemed destined for Randy. I love his attitude. Thank you for another brilliant production!
Tom has found a soul mate - very enjoyable episode.
this is by far the best episode of this channel I've seen. there are hoarders and then there are true collectors. this guy is a real collector. Automotive Art
California has some awesome cars! I was in LosGatos, and there was a building with a vet in the window... No one knew what the building was exactly... One day the front door was open, and I wandered in. Turns our it was a private collection being sold off. From a perfect 65 Shelby Cobra, a 72 Pantera, an Avanti, to about 30 Corvettes, from 1955 to early 70s... It was such a mind-blowing event to just walk through all by myself and look. If I could post pictures here I would... It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Probably one of the best ever. Love hearing your laughter between you both! Great job guys!
Excellent show Tom, and thanks Randy for sharing your treasures!
Thank you for sharing. Don’t change a thing. Run ‘em as they are, or just admire them all. Awesome.
I appreciate this guy saving and preserving these cars,they are all history pieces.
This is a real special day! I'm sure glad it was captured, thanks.
What a life this guy is living. Doing what he loves. He has fabulous taste in cars.
I found Randy to be the most interesting guest you’ve had to date. Really like his attitude to the cars, find out the history and leave the exterior original. Those cars had tons of character. Makes me want to go out and get a rusty old hulk for the yard.
wooow, a long episode ..... i like it
More long episodes please 👍 😁
What a wonderful time ya must of had hanging with Randy for the day.. Thank You Tom thank You Randy. Very enjoyable.
I’ve only just discovered this channel. In fact, my friend Randy turned me onto it. I’m sharing this episode with my friend Mario who was the previous owner of the Porsche-ish school coach-built. BTW, Mario also owns a split window Dormobile which is also rather unique, and I mention this because you also seem knowledgeable about the aircooled world, which I also inhabit.
I know I’m late to the game but this is the BEST barn find hunter episode I’ve seen, great stuff
Lincoln looked so cool, I never see anything at a car show from the 50s that isn’t a T-bird or a Tri-five Chevy, I hope that changes someday.
This guy is awesome you can tell he loves every car just by the way he talks about them.
Coolest eclectic collection. What a fun time. Thanks!
One of my favorite TH-cam shows. Love seeing all the old cars, and creative ones.
I don't understand how anybody could thumbs down this video. This was the best one yet! I love these videos. Also, the host is so nice and polite.
T...are you saying I’m not an old coot? 🤣
Wow, I met Randy at a VW show here in the UK a couple of years ago. It was only a brief chat but he was a really nice guy
I like cars that are a little bit "earthy". I love this guy. Great show.
Super episode Tom. I'm fascinated with the design school Porsche. I'd be surprised if Emory, Wilhoit, etc hadn't been up there to see it. I also wouldn't be surprised if the school in Kaiserslautern or the guys in Stuttgart were interested in having that car. What a great find. Fantastic work as always Tom! Keep it up!
Unreal - what a find! Thanks Tom!
WOW is an understatement! Tears of joy when near the end...the design constructed Porsche actually started and sounded incredible. The car will likely end up in a museum one day.
its guys like this and stories like this that keep me coming back to watch tis show .. thank tom
OK, I have always wondered when watching Toms shows if people get slammed with offers to try to buy stuff. I now know the answer is YES! Ive had several inquiries on if anything is for sale. The 57 Lincoln, The Model T Roadster and possibly the school project Porsche powered special (if a big enough offer came in...and it would have to be BIG) are the only ones I would consider letting go at this time. If you talked to my wife she might push for the "yard art" Packard to go...but that's another topic all together. LOL! Ive been asked a few times about the red 356......it is definitely NOT for sale. That one is a "forever keeper" that I love and drive as often as I can, same with the rusty VW and the Land Rover they all get run a lot.
Drop a comment here if you are interested in anything and we can connect. Happy to answer any questions.
CARCHAEOLOGY hello loved the episode, great car collection. How much would you sell the Lincoln for? I’ve been looking for a Premier for a while now.
$7500 for the Lincoln
Loved all the GREAT back story's ! Is that an Interceptor 700/750/1000 and would that be available at any point ?
Please keep in touch with him and do a follow up if it all possible that 1 of1 is incredible
Wow! The best episode yet! Randy is my hero! Thanks for keeping all those wonderful cars alive, beauty’s all of em.
I love it when you say if we get a battery do you think it will start. They get a battery and the old girl starts right up.
Great collection. The Lincoln and model A need to see the road again. It wouldn’t take much.
Randy and Tom just made my day..
There was an unrelated company in the UK called Crossley, as there was a trademark conflict with this name in any Commonwealth country (UK, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Australia, NewZealand etc, they badged them :Crosmobile for export out of the USA
My favourite episode for sure! What a cool guy Randy is. Thanks for finding this spot & collection Tom.
This episode is also my favorite so far, and I've seen them all. Thanks again. Take care.
That 356 and the prototype Porsche - WOW!!
I don't really like the 356 Porsches but this one is so special. It deserves a full restoration. Porsche fans would pay top dollars for it ! What a nice, special guy !
Wow, One of the Best shows, with Randy from Sticker Shock...Cool. Bob
that's what this 'car hobby' is all about ! a welcoming person with great stories . much thanks.
This episode is a blast! Thanks, Tom (and Randy :)
Tom I was listening to this video with the captions on and when that Porsche engine started up my captions said music. And let me tell you that was music to the ears of a car guy. Keep finding them.
Watching that Porsche starts, .....!!!!! Dream of a lifetime. The monster is alive!!!
That move from hydrogen Zeppelins to Magnesium blocks, you'd figure the German engineers would have learned their lesson... 😁 The 356 is stunning.. Thanks for the great video!
VWs had a magnesium alloy block and heads , similar to mag wheels. Never just magnesium!
Fantastic guy, what a character!
The 57 Lincoln has so much style. I love it. I had a 57 Victor and thought that had style but this wow.... I wonder how much it doesn't do to the gallon??
That is an outstanding episode!! I had the pleasure of meeting Tom Cotter in Mooresville, NC a few years ago when he had the 67 Ford wagon 4 speed! Such a great person to talk with!!
Tom does such a good job with these videos. Car guy just get other car guys. More riveting than any cop/detective show on TV. Very fun to watch.
I live 20 minutes from Kaiserslautern or K-Town as we Americans call it. There's a very big presence of U.S. military here. If he needs help getting information from the school, please let me know. I would love to help him out. I want to say my neighbors brother is in the vehicle design school that he mentioned on your video. Please let me know.
I have seen Randy on a car show called Sticker Shock on Discovery. He has a lot of cool stuff. I like when he said that he would pass the Lincoln on to someone else and not hoard it like some people would. I enjoyed him on the show and on this episode. Keep up the good work Tom. Thanks
Rosco Kat I’m happy to let cars go to new homes...it opens up the opportunity to go find something new and start that adventure all over again!
Randy rules!
Conicidentally, i picked up 2 little Hondas just like those only last weekend.
Very very cool. Thank you for the vidjayo guys. Randy seems like a guy to have a beer with for sure!
This episode was definitely worthy of a two parter. A follow up is to be had for sure. Thank you all.great episode
Yes this is one of the better finds. All the tie in’s, Randy should write up notes on all these autos. Their stories are worth saving. 🤩
There is so much to do, so many projects, it seems to be more than for just one life. I was most impressed by the Croshley Hotshot Cabriolet. Did think that all of them have been roadsters.
Toms adventures are by far the best for this channel......I love him......
Loving the rusted Art Cars that seamlessly blend into the terrain. This gentleman is an eclectic collector for sure. Nice episode.
I love music choice for his videos. That gritty Strat sound, blending with the rugged environment and cars he visits.
What FUN!! Now .... I have Lincolns and Thunderbirds and a Mustang and an Olds and .... and go to those marque club shows, but what I most enjoy is "general' shows .... see cars that I know almost nothing about! I'm 70 yo and sure hope that I'm still learning! A new "Barn Finders" is always the highlite of the week! :-) PEACE ... JJ
Great cars with the story's sweet, it's story's that makes a car worth saving.
I like this one got to see the old cars but Bike collector at heart I seen the Honda's and the one was an interceptor and the other one the stand was a saber Love those V4 Bikes I have 4 great show keep up the great work
'll
You honestly didnt know this fella before the tip that led you to him.? He has a great collection and an eye for just my kind of vehicle. Honestly if i had cash most of my cars would look like his.
Nice Landy Randy!
LOL... love these desert collections in California..!! Randy is a blast...!
Beautiful blue Yamaha YJ1 as well
Cool collection. No worry about the rust
This episode should have made it on top ten!! Love the guy and his cars!!!
what a awesome down ti earth man. Randy you are awesome
Wow to hear that car start up is awesome 👍👍👍. Just awesome.
thanks guys for such great stories!!! Greatings from Poland.
Wow Tom this is another video that should be HOURS long. I knew this one would be special as soon as you said the name Randy Carlson.He's a professional appraiser and is on the TV show "Sticker Shock" on Discovery, which replays on Velocity. He's always seemed like an excellent, easy going guy.A million thumbs up for this. (P.S. I'd love to have that Porsche)
I have to admit I am a Honda guy and this episode with a few Honda history it will be one of my fave
Marvellous! Two very passionate enthusiasts who completely respect each other's virtues. It's a pity that empathy cannot be replicated worldwide, it would surely be a better place. I've just subscribed ( before l veiwed this)
Really awesome episode Tom. Thanks so much for sharing and introducing us to Randy and his collection.
👍👍🇧🇲
What a find amazing
An era specific hot rod. Damm!
Barn Find Hunter - there is no better show.
That was so cool! It must have been awesome for that guy to flash up the Porsche and here it run again and all due to your visit. I bet you actually inspire quite a few people that you meet in the same way. Good job 👍
Every single episode is a home run on this channel.
Imagine playing Toto out of the Land Rover while driving. Now that would be awesome!
Yes, longer videos, please!
Amazing gentleman. He's definitely 1 of 1 himself.
The custom Porsche is a custom Volkswagen Ghia. The body is slightly modified. The trunk is cut in half, the rear quarterpanels are smoothed out and the front have a massive lip welded on. But the hood could be an actual Porsche.
My Mom had a 78 Honda civic when I was a kid, but that double ended car gave me an idea, I thought that guy was going to say it was a hybrid, Electric one way, gas the other.
Rod Emory would love that Porsche.
Great episode, great length, never boring, phenomenal cars, great knowledgeable guy, great stories, Christmas packards, unreal, Porsche, Lincoln, forward Hondas, truly great episode, will be marked down as one of the best so far, if not the best so far, still more to come, looking forward to it
