- The finds keep on coming in Midland, Texas, in this week's episode of Barn Find Hunter. A lunch conversation with a local man leads Tom to Jeff Roland, who, until several years ago, operated a Mustang restoration and repair shop. Having shifted the focus of his business, Jeff is eager to sell any of the 100-plus cars on his lot. Mustangs abound, including a rare K-code model, along with more Ford, Chevy, and GMC trucks than you can shake a stick at.

Great episode! And finally someone with good sense that instead of repeating "no, no, that's not for sale" (I just want to watch it rust into oblivion) the man actually uttered the most horrific words that a hoarder can imagine hearing, "everything's for sale". I love this guy!
That schoolbus is the coolest thing Ive ever seen in the 20 or so years Ive delt with cars
@John Drohan 666666666m666k666
Definitely._
I live in Midland Texas and ive seen that bus many times lol it sounds beautiful by the way
Thanx sooo much,Tom !!! What a b-l-a-s-t that was.Totally enjoyed that yard. Mr. Roland was such a pleasure to listen to.
Tom you need to apologize for the videos being too short NOT too long.This video could've been 2 hours long and I would've been riveted for every minute.
I could spend a month wandering that yard.
This has been one of my favorite episodes. So much to see and the owner has such a laid back attitude!
His demeanor and your knowledge make this very fun to watch.
That rat rod “schoolie” is just killer as well!
Yes, I Really Admire this guy. I LOVE meeting car guys who are this laid back, enjoy showing you around, and are in no hurry. This Is my Favorite episode so far. It needs to be 2 hours long.

He could have done all least 2 on him.
That bus look soo mad! 😳
@Somali Pirate who pirates salami being a European I have a hankering for the V8 powered Mercedes 0303.
Whoever does your camera work is outstanding. He/She deserves a raise. Seriously great content. Consider me sub'd
Sometimes TH-cam's related videos algorithm turns up real gems like this series. I raced through all 40 episodes and enjoyed everything. It is brilliant to see your little team exploring America and revealing this history and automotive charm that clings to existence despite all the regulations, real estate development and car crushers. I remember in the late 90's I found a website for an auto wreckers called Gilly's in Placerville, California which had pictures of some of their 800+ stock of cars. It closed down in 2001 and there's only a handful of cars now if any. Not sure if the rest were crushed or moved on. English scrap yards are becoming very rare and access to the remaining ones isn't as relaxed as some you've been to, but I guess that's an issue everywhere when you deal with different people.
Your series is a delight to watch and makes me wish I was doing something similar. Cars have been my primary interest in life but I haven't been in the communities and I haven't involved or immersed myself as much as I wanted to. I spend all my spare money on storage for a few rescued classic cars that by most people's standards aren't important, but for me it doesn't have to be the top spec or the lowest production number. I loved almost every car you've shown in your 40 episodes and that includes ones that were just background to the feature cars. I love it if it's wrecked, rotten or mediocre, but I still appreciate a stunner when I see one.
Thank you so much for a brilliantly produced series of superb quality and great interest. I am so impressed with Tom's knowledge and ability to talk to almost anyone. The filming, photography, locations and story are fantastic and I am already craving more.
WE WANT LONGER EPISODES!
I go to Midland for work from time to time. There are some great finds!
I think it would be a great idea to arrange another tour of that guy's yard, I bet there's more gems to uncover.
InstaBlaster
You have the best job ever hands down
please restore that 12 cylinder fire truck,thats heritage and shouldnt keep rotting away!!!!
It is Awesome
someone will, im sure of it. people with a decent amount of cash watch this show. this episode in particular will turn heads from a lot of people.
To be fair he did say that was number 3 and both number 1 and 2 were at museums.
Considering the other two are in a museum, the parts are probably rare and expensive.
@@n0tlance314 while true the bones were solid and easily restored. On top of that the costs involved in making one off parts has come down drastically. Things can be scanned, 3d printed with ease these days and if needed they can be cast or carved from billet etc. Whereas ten years ago it could take weeks of skilled labor to make a single part or pattern that can be done in hours today.
Just a joy to watch these videos. Every car is a historical marker and Tom's knowledge is encyclopedic. Can't wait for the next one!
IM 75 YEARS OLD,,WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO GROW UP IN ,,,WORKIN ON THE TRUCKS CARS,,,AND EVERYTHING ELSE,,,AS FAR AS I AM THINKING THIS IS THE LIFE,,,GREAT JOB ON THIS VIDEO...
That was great,skipin skool what a name for a rat rod bus,soooo kool. Jeff and his family are having so much fun. All the cars were great,just hated missing the ones in between. Thanks for another fantastic show.
"This show would go on for hours."
I don't have a problem with that.
You had me at "K-Code Mus..." :)
P.S. I would sit here and watch you spend 10 minutes on EVERY car there.
When Tom said I've been here for an hour and a half, I was thinking Day, you need to spend the day at this place.
Same here, so many great rides.
@@B1gHagar Absolutely
I love America!!!
Agreed 🖒🖒
I drooled at the 2:45 mark with that delivery van! That would make a cool tow vehicle for my travel trailer or my boat! The only problem is I'm too old anymore!
Best episode thus far!!!!
This is the right length for these videos! My only complaint has always been these episodes need to be more in-depth!! Awesome
الاسعار عالية بالنسبة لسيارات خردة
You want the videos to have more detail but be the same length? You can’t really have that both ways
My favorite show yet!! So much coolness and personality and the only 4 letter word was CARS. Nice job guys.
The rat rod bus is what pulled me in. Like others have commented, I too would watch you talk at length about every single car on that man's lot.
Thanks for being a fan Rick!
the Bus is soooo cooool!!!
I'd love to see a 20 part series showing the restoration of that 1939 fire truck!
Yea if i could have anything there it would be the fire truck!
American Lafrance Foamite Corp. like many old fire apparatus builders, Ahren Fox, Pirsch, Ward, Buffalo etc. engines had two ignitions. One ran off Battery second was a Magneto that generated power to send spark to cylinders. Required by NFPA then standard for Fire Engines.
Tom, I have been watching you since the beginning and I realize this video is 5 years old, but you got me on this one. The rat rod bus and story was just awesome. Roland's Custom is a very unique place, and Rowland with his 9 kids came across as being a really good guy, and the longer I watched and listened, it's obvious he is a good guy. Wow, you hit the motherlode with this site in Midland, Texas. In the mid-eighties I was transferred to Big Spring, which is 50 miles east of Midland. We would make the drive to Midland to eat at a national franchised restaurant which was not available in Big Spring, and for the 18 months we were there, the Midland trip became routine. With that, I enjoyed this video and the others you made in Midland because of the memories. Now back to Rowland's Custom. I wonder what kind of impact your video may have had with Rowland and his business. It would be kind of neat to make a return trip and find out. If you have done that and I just haven't made it to the video yet, then my apologies. If you haven't made a return trip, I sure wish you would consider it. And I just thought the rat rod bus was done really well and just peaked my interest, as I could imagine 20 something kids at the trunk or treat having a blast! Thanks again for your tireless work Tom. Your videos bring back so many good good memories.
You could do a three hour movie and I'd watch it all. That guy wins! He has all of the toys.
The 289 is my favorite Ford V-8. The second American engine I ever overhauled.
"The show would go on for hours"....... Great idea! We're waiting! 😄
That guy needs a tv show.
What a great life that man has 9 kids and cars and toys . 🙌🙌🙌🙌🇸🇪 awesome man 👍
Watching this videos makes me a little too nostalgic, my dad used to fix cars and restore classic, every time i see this junk yards, with all those classic laying around, i only think of how fun it would be for me and my dad to make a project together, i bought a 65 mustang last year, and i got into a mechanic class, if i ever have kids and they like cars as much i do, i'm definitely gonna do what my pop and i couldn't, tarn i miss him
I don't mind watching a 12 hours video talking about every single car in this yard.
Watch all the barn find stuff! He makes the show, he is so into what he does that it feels like you're there.
Well SMOBY STAY OFF MY PHONE. NOW U KNOW MY PHONE IS NOW AN ANDROID/IOS PHONE. DUMB ASS. IVE BEEN TELLING MY SISTER BUT WHO CARES RIGHT!!!!! OVER THIS PHONE BULLSHIT
Rose L. What?
Same here.

This is a great episode! The Rat Rod bus on the caption got my attention. Then it just got better every minute. It’s amazing all the really good looking finds he has in the yard. All the panel trucks, the fire engine, the Ford wagon, Land Rover and so on. Then I saw the Johnson outboard jutting into view while they were walking by the Gremlin. The aluminum hardtop runabout cruiser was just seriously cool and after the episode was finished, I went back and stop framed every place it was shown. That’s is what I want from that place!
GREAT episode!
One of the best episodes yet. Brilliant!
Love this series! Good job , thx Hagerty and the crew!
Wife and I saw the school bus, on Sept. 4, 2020; on I20 Eastbound, from Midland, Tx. It was the coolest thing to see on the road. I landed on this video, while browsing for it.
An ARTICUlated rat rod Skool Bus!! How cool is that!
I've been telling other car freaks about your channel.. I'm in Texas & there's limitless barn finds & relics to be had, you just have to find these hidden gems! I actually have an acquaintance down here with a 68 Shelby GT500KR with 34k miles, garage kept since new, one owner
gearmeister been living in Texas for years and I always comment on these videos. I’ve lived in DFW Austin and San Antonio and the amount of priceless cars I see on a daily basis is unreal.
My gf hates driving with me because I become a 10 year old every time I see one, which is every time I drive my car.
@@thomasr3805 I hear ya buddy, I'm the same way
Thomas Roth . I’m the same and i live in the uk. Most of are old vehicles are to far gone due to the damp atmosphere. You don’t know how lucky you guys are, we just foam at the mouth over here looking at those 50s, 60s metal.
God bless Texas! Stationed there twice Ft Bliss/ Ft Hood, sure miss that place but not the fire ants.
OOHHHH LOVE TO SEE & HEAR IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Problem I have witnessed too many times on "barn finds", is the owners just like to talk about their hoard, never sell or others want WAY too much for.
H E C K -- Y E A !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Yep usually ends up going to waste
Eventually inflation makes a $15,000 price the same as todays $1,500. This is why cars continue to rot until the owner passes away.
Yeah, prices too high
I mean its the same as Corvette owners, everyone always thinks their car is 1 of 1, and with some of these old cars its true, but some people want astronomical numbers for a car that may not even be fixable.
Man, I could probably spend an entire weekend in that yard and never get tired of it. What an amazing place!
Thanks to Hagerty and Tom for this great serie.
18:51 You came for that!
It's in mtx that's how I found it
I love everything in that yard and I also love how on the bus it said "Have Jesus ?"
I have seen that bus in person in Vegas after Rat Rod show earlier this year let me tell you it was pretty darn cool.
That firetruck could be so bad ass. Was really hoping to see a close up of that space ship behind the helicopter.
The mystery LaFrance truck engine is definitely a V12 (that 60 degree v angle might make it appear to be an inline 6) . It must be one of those early flathead designs where the camshaft and rockers (later flatheads got rid of those and their valves are direct acting) sit in the valley of the engine and the valves basically horizontally. The valves and the top of the piston are at an angle and the combustion chamber is reverse wedge shaped. A good example I can think of is a Lycoming V8 used in Cords.
yep. I missed this comment by you are correct from what I found online. A neat engine.
Yea 12v Cummins not a ford lol
It’s a American LaFrance Series 500
trucksplanet .com/catalog/model.php?id=1220
Alex K So it's a Lycoming-derived engine after all. Its valvetrain setup should be in a similar fashion with their V8.
Jay Leno has a video of a similar truck
Dad's first ride was a '42 Prefect. Still in the family here in Northern British Columbia
Wow thanks for Sharon I was born and raised in Midland Texas and bought a 302 motor back in 1987 from that man Roland I am 49 now that was back when I was 17 and he is still there are used to dream of all those mustangs he used to have
God blessed this man with a big family and a prosperous business. He is another example, among many, of how unique is the USA.
the mustang punched through the back of the trailer is badass!! Awesome detail just for the license plate
@John Drohan REALLY WISH THIS COMPANY WOULD GET ONTO TH-cam SO WE CAN FOLLOW ALONG HIM & HIS 9 KIDS THAT ALL WORK ON OR DO THINGS W/ THEIR RIDE'S OR THEIR FOLK'S RIDES THERE IN MIDLAND TX,......
@John Drohan YEPPERS !! THE BIG HUMBLED & WORKING TOGTHER FAMILY'S R ALL OVER OUR GREAT NATION HERE BELIEVE ME..... I KNOW 1 FAMILY THAT HAS 15 ALL HER OWN REAL KIDS & YES SAME MOMMA & PA ( DAD ) .... TOO & YES THEY ALL WORK & LEARN & WATCH OVER EACH OTHER & YES THEY ALL GO TO SCHOOL'S............. I MEAN LOOK INTO SOME OF AMERICAN HISTORY... WHERE THEY HAD SOME HUGE BUT POOR BUT WORKING & THEY HAD SOME OR LIL TO NO SCHOOLING & THEY THRIVED ON THE AMERICAN DREAM OF THEIR OWN ALL OVER OUR STILL AWESOME NATION HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was great! If the short block of the K mustang was original you could have told by the harmonic balancer if it was a "K"
This is hands done my most favorite episode, that looks like an awesome place to spend a day or two and just hang out and walk the yard.
Awesome to see a longer episode
I like that Ford Panel, it's got a lot of potential....and I've got a 74 Bronco Sport. The Sport was the baseline model, nothing but power steering was offered from the factory from what I know. I've installed a power brake booster, a Detroit locker in the rear and posi in the front, and swapped in a 347 stroker, with a truck 4spd mated to an Atlas II transfer case, that kicks ass....
That Ford Panel van behind the Land Rover, check that one!!!! Like you said everyone has their preferrences.
Grew up in Midland, Texas. What a cool video. Thanks to all involved.
One of if not, the best episode!....cool owner, forgive him for not remembering every detail, but nine kids & hundreds of "treasures" will do that!
Tom/Hagerty please go back & do more on this barn find!
Gotta love that in the middle of this mess of great cars, they got a Jeep Cherokee. Haha, love those things.
I love the show and it gives me hope inside that one day i'll drive again i don't go out much my legs are bad and they have me on meds for pain so i sit here for now till something changes its been a hard 4 years and it will echo on for a long time in infaminy .
i'm looking for something to give me hope i had real bad luck and became a Amputee i believe
one day ,, things will get better .. Bless us all give us the strength to carry on... thank you for your time
God bless you friend, hang on and keep your faith. Things will be better in this world or the next.
That school bus 🚌 and trailer is badass!!! Great video
That Man and his family, are the essence of the American dream....good work ethic, freedom to be the rugged individualists, a strong sense of community and unashamed of their connection to God. Thank you and bless you all.
The American lafrance motor is called a twin 6 Basically two in-line 6 cylinders molded into one block built just for the lafrance
Two parallel inline sixes with two cranks?
Paul Galyon That's not correct, the American LaFrance engine was a V12 built by ALF themselves in their own factory. "LaFrance" is not a particular model, it's part of the company name, American LaFrance, so this engine was not "built just for the LaFrance" as you claim.
Sell that firetruck to Jay Leno..
Jay already has one.
ah yea, but this one got a roof. =)
That fucking shill already has plenty of fucking cars.
WTF.
Ken Calwell - No .
My thoughts exactly
What a great find and video.
I lived in Elmira, New York in the 70's and American LaFrance had a factory there. My neighbor was a draftsman for the company and showed me his drawings.
My grandparents lived in Endicott. I think I remember hearing my grandfather talk about LaFrance growing up.
I was there a year after the flood, in the 70's, when the Chemung river nearly wiped out the city. You could see the high water marks on the exterior of the buildings. About 15 feet high. I had an apartment closer to Horseheads. My neighbor would bring over color renderings of the new designs. They were huge trucks !@@austx290
@@jamesclukey7488 I enjoyed the Southern Tier in the mid 70s. I did telethons at Channel 40 in Binghamton and WENY 22 in Elmira. McDonald's had a mug giveaway with egg mcmuffins and we got a full set. 😀
Well I wouldn't mind to spend hours watchin these episodes, Tom😂😂😂
I would be perfectly entertained if you spent at least 15 minutes on each and every car. we come here for the goodies out there and LOVE to see them so if you want to make a 50 hour video I would be happy :)
Really amazing. Guy’s init for the pure joy of creation.
Good job keeping all those gems preserved! Great episode!
preserved? this is basically a junkyard :/
Yeah, all those car's would disappear into parts, junk and rust if nobody kept them more or less "complete" in their yard.
These cars would be considered in mint condition in Wisconsin Minnesota and Michigan.
Robert Bob and in
HELLINOIS 😆
Northern indiana too
These are junk cars, i know where there are drivable cars with only fading paint , 47 pont., 60 bonneville,55 ford, 65 catalina...more than i can name, 10% finders fee.
only price i know was he was asking 3500. for the bonnevile 400/4 barrel just has faded paint.
Cars came from odgen utah.
@@raymondwagoner4896 Let's hear it then. Where are these cars for sale? Do you have a deal with the owner for that "finders fee"?
Hes got my hood ornament on that bus!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya
I think this is my favorite episode ever. Not just because of the cars, but this guy and his family are just awesome. I'm with J Smith. You could probably do a season of episodes just on that guys lot and we'd lap it up.
Vee dub has a removable generator perch which means it's not a 28/36 hp. Prolly a 40 hp.
You gotta do 2 more episodes AT LEAST with this guy...cover more cars and hear more stories!!!
Thank you so much Tom and Company for making this video longer. Big fist pump for all of you. Respect!
I recently found this series and have been binging it ever since. I enjoy finding these types of cars as much as Tom does. I have been restoring my dads old 58 Chevy Apache for the last few years and this show has motivated me to kick it into high gear. I should be driving it on the road tomorrow. It’ll be the first time it’s been on the road in about 28 years. Thanks Tom for such a great show!
$2,500 for that bronco is a good deal. Most i see in that condition are going for 5K or more. The 1st gen broncos are crazy right now.
We had those ford 10 prefects (a.k.a. ford defects) out here in New Zealand. They have transverse leafspring front suspension and a narrow wheel base . You hit anything that vaguely reassembles a corner above 25 mph and they fall over. Also not known for being fast or liking steep hills. From memory they also had vacumn wipers that stop working when you need them most. That landrover is an early one too with the headlights in the grille and not in the fenders. We had them too.
The prefect was UK Fords effort. Anyone who has owned or worked on Model T's,A;s or V8's will recognize the scaled down running gear .Thats a rare one,it's a 1939 and if was in the UK it would be snapped up immediately. my younger Brother had a 48 Defect as his first car in South Auckland which was in really nice condition...until he got it. 😂
The Landy is probably a 2a from 1964 through till 1970. At that point legislation changed so the lights had to be the width of the vehicle, hence they went outside. Could have a been a six cylinder one,
had a 51 prefect E 93 A when i lived in Auckland every hill i went up wipers would stop until lifted the gas and yes they did like to roll over , my buddy had 56 landrover that was a fun ride but was not a power wagon thats for sure cheers
I'd never seen a Prefect before. Seems similar to a Morris Minor. They might hit 50 downhill but you wouldn't want to. 😬
Best Ever Barn Find Hunter. You really hit the nail on the head when you said he had a scene of humor !
That d110 is so cool.
Duh, to myself.. never made the name connection with the car and Ford Prefect in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I thought the same thing when he said it. I think I'm going to go read now.
A ford Prefect like that in New Zealand would be worth a fortune. I remember those when I was a kid.There were hundreds on the road here and that was when the only way you could buy a new car in this country was if you had the foreign currency to pay for it.
Hi. My dad had a 39 Ford Prefect. I was born in 44 and it was the family car until 1953. My uncle, a motor mechanic, used to say of the little flathead four, "you can't kill it with an axe". However, Dad broke leaf springs quite often.
So, in the States can you build anything and drive it on the roads.
In the uk if you wanted to build your own Vehicle you need to get an SVA inspection to make sure its road legal then every year it would need to pass an MOT test not to mention the road Tax each year.
You guys have so much freedom to drive what you want.
Here in los angeles you can drive any classic car even if its a rusted toaster as long as its registered and you pay your tags. No smog test for classic cars. Car culture here is amazing. However yes They are solid for the most part but are more expensive here than anywhere else in the US id say. I own a 65 mustang and (2)1966 coupes both 289 v8 fully loaded. They are common here but fun to drive and parts are everywhere and dont really depreciate. We have car swapmeets too its pretty cool
Bryan Anthony Martinez . Hi, are tags the License Plates or something else. Do you have to pay for you tags, if so usually how much would they be. In the uk the Licence plates are generated by the Government when the Vehicle is Registered by the Dealer, then it stays with the Vehicle until it eventually gets Scrapped.
Thanks for the reply.
@@ronniewilson6597 tags here in the California are issued when you pay the registration yearly. Youll get the yearly sticker to slap on your plate. These come from the Dept of Motor Vehicles. Similar to the Uk i assume. Not sure how the other states work though. Im from CA.
@Ronnie Wilson, In the US Tags/Plates don't have to stay with the vehicle for life like the UK. Each state issues their own style plates. All US plates share a common shape and size. If your state Dept of Motor Vehicles approves it you can put almost anything that you want (no obscenities, etc.) on your plate(s). All states require a rear plate, some like California, require a front plate too.
Brian Hanson. Thanks I’ve always wondered how the us system works. If you can build something to us on the road and it doesn’t need inspecting from a government body how does the Insurance work. Are you Insured to drive anything.
What happens if you’re involved in an accident.
I love when John Malkovich goes barn hunting.
Nine kids and still has time to play around with cars, what a legend.
I have a feeling he won't have as much trouble getting rid of his inventory now...
Very highly priced.
Midland is an expensive place. Those oilfield guys make a lot of money and then spend it irresponsibly. Price goes up with demand...
Ryan Nelson I feel like if there was that much demand they wouldn’t still be sitting there rotting away.
How long before the oil runs out, he needs to sell that stuff quick, the future is electric
5k doesn't seem like much to ask for a car that you're going to spend 40k on eventually
@@Mudbuttmoody toning down the price point would atleast open up for more kinds of buyer or he'd rather watch those cars rot away.
Man, that's the coolest car project i've seen in years.
Just lovely!
Well you just got another subscriber. Great video. I could listen to car folks talk cars for hrs. I always learn so much. Very impressive stuff. That school bus looks like its a blast!!!
How do folks all the way up north find out about guys like this?? This guy is too cool
This guy isn't trying to sell these cars at those prices. He needs to sell off these cars at realistic prices so guys can put them back together and on the road again for others to enjoy.
It isn't unusual, more talking less selling.
They never sell.
In order to sell them for a worthwhile price, he has to start on the high side.
It allows him room to negotiate, and the opportunity to gauge whether or not he has a serious prospect on the line.
I guarentee if you showed up, showed him pics and videos of your last 3 completed builds he would sell. Hes not interested in a flipper getting them.
Soooo Cool
God i miss my Dad
Hope this guys stay together for a looooooooooong time
I had this video on in the background while at work. It was so good, had to stop, get a cup of coffee, start it over and just sit and watch. This was better than all the new car channel shows on TV. Also list it under self help... lol...You could even use it as an anxiety stress relief video
I have Hagerty insurance on my new 1986 Monte Carlo SS, $400 a year valued at 17 grand
Good idea. I have them for all of my classics and have been happy so far.
Sadly, there are not enough people with the time, money, and ambition to restore all the old cars still out there. In the future, these junk yards will be museums. His prices seemed a little high.
Ray T yeah when cars don't use gas any more.. might be long, Tesla is on its way!
The Saudis are building solar panels in the desert. What does that tell you?
@@davesilvia9711 Not a chance, they can always convert to woodgas, alcohol, etc.
Yes high and the guy is a bit smug too. The kind of mechanic who blames the client when things get choppy.
He's tge guy that buys cars cause he likes to look at them. If it sells fine if not fine.
Great episode and thank you. Matt C.
One of the coolest sites that has been visited by the Barn Hunter. Jeff seems like the coolest "dude" to hang out with.
Thanks for sharing Tom! I enjoyed every minute of this episode.
