The allure of muscle car projects is strong for gearheads. Problem is if you are too good at finding them it easy to acquire more than you can ever get to, especially as time goes by and you get older. Good to see them stored in a dry environment, makes it an easier restoration than if left to rot in the dirt and bushes outside. I am sure these will find good homes.👍

That green '68 Tempest convertible was my first car back in high school. I bought it from the original owner, who lived across the street from my grandmother in West Hollywood, CA in 1991 or so. It was sold new at Utter Pontiac on La Brea Ave in Los Angeles. I put the Cragars and BFGs on it when I was in the Navy. The folks who bought it were from Illinois. They were looking at some of my dad's cars and they asked about the Tempest. My dad talked me into selling it and i've always regretted it. I almost fell over when I saw it in the video. It looks exactly as it did when I sold it.
Didn’t get the email. Yahoo Mail can be weird sometimes. I’m 100% certain this is my old car. I didn’t know what I was doing with cars back then. I took it apart, got it painted, got the bumpers and badges rechromed, and never fully put it back together. I still have the original grandma wheel covers in my basement. The CA black plate was XRF305. Bought it with 79,000 miles and parked it with a few thousand over 100,000 miles on it. I have pics somewhere of the odometer rolling over. I still get registration reminders for the car every year from CA DMV.
Mike P I know, but unfortunately I just bought a project ‘59 Plymouth wagon the other day. Going to see what they want for it and if it makes sense I’ll have to sell something to raise the dough.

I am the guy in the video. I just want to make a few things clear that I should have stated in the video. First off, I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE CARS. The video is out of context and I can understand the confusion. My father has been running a Concours restoration shop all of my life. I’ve shared in this passion from a young age and helped amass this collection (and many many more) throughout my childhood. I used to search the darkest corners of the internet everyday after school trying to find rare muscle cars. When we’d find a deal, we’d hook up the trailer, and hit the road. Now, for all of the pleasant TH-cam commenters calling us hoarders and dreamers, I’ll make another fact clear. His shop has restored nearly 100 rare cars in the last 30 years. Many of which started out in much worse shape than the ones featured in the video. Most cars are sold privately to collectors, at Barrett Jackson or Mecum, and they’ve also done several cars for celebrity clients. These cars were all sitting in much worse environments before we acquired them and moved them into a climate controlled environment. These cars are patiently awaiting their turn to get restored, but are for sale at the same time as-is if someone is interested. The shop is currently restoring (2) 1970 442 Convertibles that we’re pulled from this very building!! I DO NOT PERSONALLY OWN ANY PART OF THIS COLLECTION. I WILL NOT SEE A PENNY OF ANY SALES. I WORK INDEPENDENTLY FROM MY FATHER AND HE HAS NEVER SO MUCH AS LOANED ME $1 TO BUY A CAR. In fact, I volunteered my time to put this video together to help him thin the herd, as he’s planning on taking his business in a different direction.
Thankyou mike for saving these cars !!! The people who made negative comments dont have a clue on what it means to car people who are always looking for the next project ..
Thank you for explaining stuff with me ! People don't realize that it takes a lot time to restore stuff correctly and as close to looking factory made as possible !
My dad just got a 1968 Chevy c10 with the original 327ci v8 that came from factory in it from my grandpa. The dang thing was sitting in my grandpas back years for 17 years
Another collection of cars that should be restored. The price has become so out of this world now days it now takes 6 figures to even put ot on a trailer now days. Very nice collection ...
Spectacular cars to save... multiple RA IV’s, convertibles, Stage 1- 4 Speed, 442’s and Hurst Olds... if he doesn’t get around to the restorations someone will... a friend has a White GSX 4-Speed California car w/ smog gear still in place restored and in his heated garage. Definitely my favorite car.
These cars are very sweet to have ! I had 3 or 4 of one like them at one time growing up ! Now they make , more like junk now ! Some are good but nothing like back in the old days ! They should of cleaned them before showing them off ! Still really really NICE TO OWN !

Bob Silver There’s a 70 GTO Judge in the town I live in that’s been sitting under tarps in a driveway since at least 1988,that’s the first time I went there to see if it was for sale, hasn’t moved since. I went there last week,no answer so ima try again. Greetings from British Columbia
Bob Silver,you havent even seen the car in person and you know none of the cars history yet your ready to resto it.Too many beautiful cars have been restored and over restored.There was 2 250gt ferraris a while back 1 low miles fully restored sold for 800k ish,an u restored hi mile sold for 1.6million.whos smarter the guy that bought used and enjoyed or the guy who spent heaps to buy a car spent heaps to restore it and didnt get the resto bill back.
Wow. That is one mean collection. Why can't I find a barn full of classic muscle cars and the thing is it doesn't look like it would take a lot to get these cars running. Very cool cars.
If you're to old for an Oldsmobile you went with a Buick!🤣 Yeah but the 70s Buick GS with 455 Stage 1 was one of the fastest cars of the time. Granny got Guts!
@midnitesquirldog1 Yes I wish they still made them like that too. I had a 1970 cutlass W-31 the stripped down Oldsmobile. I am a GM A body fan. The GS & GSX were some of the fastest cars on the street, low HP ratting compared to the chevy big blocks but over 500lb/ft of torque made it a monster. The GSX just looked mean, the white more subdued but the yellow just screamed muscle.
@midnitesquirldog1 Thanks for the update on the HP rating. I was under the impression that Buick under rated their HP numbers and advertised 370 hp. maybe that was the non GSX 455. I am aware of the EPA and insurance company stuff and the change from brake HP to net HP. Long live American muscle.
midnitesquirldog1 while I love old engines and cars, I have to disagree on the performance side. We live in the golden age of horsepower. The ls, lt, new Hemi and coyote are amazing engines. I daily drive a 67 skylark, and come from a family full of big block mopars, 540 chevelles, supercharged mustangs and so on. This new stuff is no joke. The fastest car in my family is a 2013 camaro cam/intake car. I still prefer classics, but today’s cars donkey stomp them when it comes to performance.
midnitesquirldog1 so a modified car beat a stock car? That’s really not impressive. Of course gears matter. That’s why the Japanese were dogging us in the 80s and 90s. Most cars from the muscle car era came with lake gears. So most aren’t going to have that advantage. Give an ls aftermarket induction (even tho the stock intakes are good) an aftermarket cam and low gears and see what happens. Plus an ls will last 4x as long. And will get better mileage. And will be able to spin past 5k reliably. Why do you think old speedos only went to 100k? Old engines weren’t as well engines. The fact is today is the golden age of horsepower and speed. And if you deny that, then you haven’t driven enough old or new performance cara.
AC was an option for most any GM vehicle, if you went in said I want a Judge with =AC, Dana, Muncy M21, yadda yadda, you could get it.. COPO that Buick is real nice hot rod.. they really went... everyone's Chevelle 454 was fast till the wildcat 455 rolled up, or the 442 with the 455.. addios Cheby!
as the guy here talk's a bit about how old he was usually a teen.... he & his family must have traveld all over the u.s... to get these 1 at a time........ loving his short bit's of history's on each ride here...................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to see other video's esp,. if they r any what like these here........... wondering do u do any video's on all monte carlo's car's from when ever thet 1 st made 'em to when ever the last monte carlo was built & sold off of a dealership lot / show room.................................... can't wait to see that video.................
Thank you, someone else agrees with me. Would have been a much better video if he steadied the camera better and didn't have the music in the back ground.
In 1971 my mother ordered a T37 2 door hardtop, 250 (Chevy) 6 and powerglide. She wanted the Judge stripes, salesman said no problem, but she decided on the (parking lot) impact strip instead. There was also the "$47 front end". The GTO nose on any LeMans. And the bargain GTO meant to compete with the RoadRunner was the ET, 350HO, but obviously that was nixed, and Pontiac struggled with colors and sales due to white being chosen over Orbit Orange after sales started to decline from the 1st iteration Carousel Red, which was actually Chevy (engine) orange. Eventually all colors were offered, and the GTO became a wannabe as a 350 Ventura, but they all had the Trans Am shaker hood.
CORVAIRWILD don’t forget about the “jury”, Pontiac lemans that I think was only available in Canada,seen one at a car show on Vancouver island years ago
@@Whateva67 Hmmmm... I grew up in Montreal, I had a lite blue '67 Parisienne 2+2 convert, 283pg, and my friend had a gold 2+2 convert also. We put a 409 TH400 in his, I still have pix in my foto album. Mine got 3x2's TH350 and 3.36 posi. Both were rust buckets after 9 winters. I've never heard of the "Jury". I'll Google it
Yeah, that's all they had,like just any one of those wouldn't be enough to fill anyone's Xmas stocking very happily. Lol! Are they perhaps looking to adopt a new 50ish year old child into the family,who just wants to restore some awesome cars? Lol! Man, hopefully you'll do some of their other goodies and post them on here. If these are just waiting in the wings to be restored, I can't even imagine what they have for daily drivers and fully restored nice weather only cruising collectibles in their driveways and home garages! Sweet, thanks guys! ▪☆☆☆▪
The Judge was originally to be called the E/T & powered by a 350 HO to be a low priced econo-muscle car to compete against said RR, however Delorean is the one who changed the plans that led to the Judge.
Market for muscle cars are changing. Prices and interest is declining. Fact of life it's a generational thing. Sounds like the owner sees the writing on the wall. Thanks for the tour🙂
All the comments are funny. This guy bought these cars to restore 1 at a time. Car covers and a little mildew are moot. They are now out of the wheather and that’s as good as he needs it to be.
I’m planning to offer it for sale next year on its 50th anniversary and near my retirement date. I’m thinking it could draw a bit more money then. It’s current appraisal is right at $30k. What is hurting its value is that is was repainted with a coral colour from the Cadillac line in the late 70’s, along with the carb replaced with an Edelbrock and an HEI distributor installed. The original wheels were left out in the original owners yard for 40+ years and were unsalvagabe, so I installed 17” Rally II wheels with modern tires. When I bought it, it had CenterLines he had put on in the 70’s. Otherwise, it is all stock. It has the original Sandalwood interior, but the dash pad has some heat shrinkage on the upper corners. That all said, I’d take $35k for it now.
Great collection of a bodies in this vid notice not one bowtie was mentioned in this video nor a grand Prix. Hell if you can't find a old matching engine for these cars that they came equipped from the factory, no need to worry or call it a waste, just do what most will do to make it functional again and wake it the hell up. Slap a LS small block from the trucks and build them the way you want build em because the LS is build for all GM brands anyway and the power those engines makes matches that on the old school big blocks and get better mpgs and they're bulletproof!
Probably MOST of those cars were bought USED in the late 70’s or in the 80’s when they were Dirt Cheap. I bought a 1970 Chevelle SS 396/402 with a 4- Speed in 1980 for $1,400.00 dollars.
I have a complete NOS Ram Air IV valve train for this GTO. NOS HL64 lifters, Pushrods, 1.65 Rocker Arms Assembly , Ram Air IV valves , Valve springs, oil deflectors, keepers, 041 camshaft, Ram Air IV guide plates, retainers all in NOS gm boxes for this car
I'm glad these cars are inside. I've found many rare cars sitting in fields and woods. Many times I tried to buy but was told "I'm gonna fix it someday" decades later most of those cars are still there. Rotted away! It's terrible.
I agree, they were preserved pretty well.
I'm jealous. Love the GM A bodies.Wish I had my 70 Cutlass Supreme and 69 Cutlass Convertible back. Great cars, should've never let them go.

as the guy here talk's a bit about how old he was usually a teen.... he & his family must have traveld all over the u.s... to get these 1 at a time........ loving his short bit's of history's on each ride here...................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to see other video's esp,. if they r any what like these here........... wondering do u do any video's on all monte carlo's car's from when ever thet 1 st made 'em to when ever the last monte carlo was built & sold off of a dealership lot / show room.................................... can't wait to see that video.................
If I come across them.
Awesome video and incredible collection!
It is a crazy collection
Some really nice pieces...🤙🏻
I say they all are nice man ! They don't make them like that now days !
Yeah where you sell any of them
I saw a 65 Cadillac convertible! How do we contact this person?
Who do we call to buy some of the cars ?? Ron
Cool collection and nice to see that you saved them and are for sale. Anyone interested nows your chance.
Exactly
Wow car lovers paradise!
Cool cars. Horrible camera work.
Thank you, someone else agrees with me. Would have been a much better video if he steadied the camera better and didn't have the music in the back ground.
Horrible camera work agreed. He's a dodge guy. Seems rude to the owner
Would you happen to have a Pontiac Catalina Ventura convertible by chance? I had one when I was 16 years old and would love to have another one again
Sadly not that I can remember.
In 1971 my mother ordered a T37 2 door hardtop, 250 (Chevy) 6 and powerglide. She wanted the Judge stripes, salesman said no problem, but she decided on the (parking lot) impact strip instead. There was also the "$47 front end". The GTO nose on any LeMans. And the bargain GTO meant to compete with the RoadRunner was the ET, 350HO, but obviously that was nixed, and Pontiac struggled with colors and sales due to white being chosen over Orbit Orange after sales started to decline from the 1st iteration Carousel Red, which was actually Chevy (engine) orange.
Eventually all colors were offered, and the GTO became a wannabe as a 350 Ventura, but they all had the Trans Am shaker hood.
CORVAIRWILD don’t forget about the “jury”, Pontiac lemans that I think was only available in Canada,seen one at a car show on Vancouver island years ago
@@Whateva67 Hmmmm... I grew up in Montreal, I had a lite blue '67 Parisienne 2+2 convert, 283pg, and my friend had a gold 2+2 convert also. We put a 409 TH400 in his, I still have pix in my foto album. Mine got 3x2's TH350 and 3.36 posi. Both were rust buckets after 9 winters. I've never heard of the "Jury". I'll Google it
That's cool!
Now that's a dream I'd love to never wake up from
Some of these cars are going to get valuable enough to restore one day. Non-numbers matching is keeping them where they are right now.
Nah
I'm still around, although life has been busy and the Pontiac hobby shares with others
ClassicalPontiac make it a Facebook page!! That used to be my favorite website
@@themotormadhouse There is one: facebook.com/classicalpontiac/
And the website still exists: www.classicalpontiac.com/
the convertible caddy is a beauty
It was nice
Verdadeiras preciosidades, sem sombras de dúvidas. maneco - Porto Alegre-RS -Brasil.

Nothing really.
Man is sitting on a gold mine!!!
And they are for sale.
Auto Archaeology where are these for sale at?
Enjoyed this! Not big on Olds but the Hurst Olds is cool😎. Luv the 60s/early 70’s muscle cars👏
Thanks!
That olds is amazing
Right?
Yeah, that's all they had,like just any one of those wouldn't be enough to fill anyone's Xmas stocking very happily. Lol! Are they perhaps looking to adopt a new 50ish year old child into the family,who just wants to restore some awesome cars? Lol! Man, hopefully you'll do some of their other goodies and post them on here. If these are just waiting in the wings to be restored, I can't even imagine what they have for daily drivers and fully restored nice weather only cruising collectibles in their driveways and home garages! Sweet, thanks guys! ▪☆☆☆▪
Illi noise?
Who the hell says that?
Where are you from???
Now is the right time to hit ( Powerball) holy smokes what a gold mine
Malik ElcoSS454 Yeah it is!!
@Pretty fly for a WiFi ; Agree
The '69 GTO was named the "Judge" because of the TV show "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in" had the popullar line "Here comes the Judge"
@0:14 The"S" is silent in Illinois.
Yes, that's why I chuckled
@@AutoArchaeology Oh is that what the laugh was for lol.
The Judge was originally to be called the E/T & powered by a 350 HO to be a low priced econo-muscle car to compete against said RR, however Delorean is the one who changed the plans that led to the Judge.
Yup
we had a '75 HO black with white interior swivel buckets and Ttops
Those are good cars as well.
My dream is finding a „tow it away“ 70 El Camino in a collection like this.
Now THESE are real cars :)
That Stage 1 is the butt-kicker of the group.
It sure is.
1969 Hurst Olds will boil the rear tires off!
rick smith They’re sweet!!!
Not in the condition that this ones in
Nice stash
Those are some fine automobiles
Very cool! Must have great Dad!
Thomas Jones he’s a pretty good dude
Are any for sale .
The Goat, "manual steering, manual brakes", opens the hood and nearly first thing one sees is the power steerring pump.
Yea, believe it or not, parts can be added to cars over the course of 50 years. Would you like me to email you the PHS build sheet?
Market for muscle cars are changing. Prices and interest is declining. Fact of life it's a generational thing. Sounds like the owner sees the writing on the wall. Thanks for the tour🙂
Collector and restoration shop.
I have a collection of fully restored vinyl-top 4-cylinder 1976 Ford Mavericks
raxxtango my favorite
GT37?
All the comments are funny. This guy bought these cars to restore 1 at a time. Car covers and a little mildew are moot. They are now out of the wheather and that’s as good as he needs it to be.
Buy em when theyre cheap (were). Great collection
You're right!
I have a 21,000 mile 70 GTO 400 automatic with the 69 Judge stripes that is an early year build.
Bill Ness for sale?
I’m planning to offer it for sale next year on its 50th anniversary and near my retirement date. I’m thinking it could draw a bit more money then. It’s current appraisal is right at $30k. What is hurting its value is that is was repainted with a coral colour from the Cadillac line in the late 70’s, along with the carb replaced with an Edelbrock and an HEI distributor installed. The original wheels were left out in the original owners yard for 40+ years and were unsalvagabe, so I installed 17” Rally II wheels with modern tires. When I bought it, it had CenterLines he had put on in the 70’s. Otherwise, it is all stock. It has the original Sandalwood interior, but the dash pad has some heat shrinkage on the upper corners. That all said, I’d take $35k for it now.
Love these cars unreal how all in one space!
Right?!
@@AutoArchaeology Are any for sale?
Great collection of a bodies in this vid notice not one bowtie was mentioned in this video nor a grand Prix. Hell if you can't find a old matching engine for these cars that they came equipped from the factory, no need to worry or call it a waste, just do what most will do to make it functional again and wake it the hell up. Slap a LS small block from the trucks and build them the way you want build em because the LS is build for all GM brands anyway and the power those engines makes matches that on the old school big blocks and get better mpgs and they're bulletproof!
Probably MOST of those cars were bought USED in the late 70’s or in the 80’s when they were Dirt Cheap. I bought a 1970 Chevelle SS 396/402 with a 4- Speed in 1980 for $1,400.00 dollars.
Yup, pretty much!
I have a complete NOS Ram Air IV valve train for this GTO. NOS HL64 lifters, Pushrods, 1.65 Rocker Arms Assembly , Ram Air IV valves , Valve springs, oil deflectors, keepers, 041 camshaft, Ram Air IV guide plates, retainers all in NOS gm boxes for this car
Where did you dig those up?!
He bought that first GTO when he was 15? The other when he was 13?
Technically his dad bought them. But since it is the family business, he was involved in the purchase of most of these vehicles.
Marco A You must have worked hard. That was a lot of money on 1981.
How can I contact this guy? I’m also looking for a 1970 on up Pontiac Ventura
Long gone now

Auto Archaeology how can I inquire about the Oldsmobile Cutlass?
I live in Illinois and please when you say the name of our state the S on the end is silent. My goodness.
That Buick Riviera was the nicest car of them all... And you just ignored it !!!
Felt like I was watching an episode of Barn Find Hunter !!
It wasn't the owners car. So I didn't touch on it.
@@AutoArchaeology --> Fair enough.
I would love to have that hurst Oldsmobile
