Ok so I found a barn find but the cutscene is not playing. Is it going to be added in the new update?
When is the new hi low episode coming out? I really enjoyed the first 6 episodes

Up to speed on Datsun roadster please
According to Forza Horizon law, if you find an abandoned classic in a barn, it's legally yours.
Agreed
that should be how it works in IRL. finders keepers.

Oh look a 250 testarossa probably worth 10 million pounds.
Seen as its in a barn in a Colorado feild i guess its mine!
I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a nice video, but before I start can I just say thank you for the yellow bar during the ad?
Honestly, I don't normally skip the sponsor spots in a youtube video, but sometimes they drag on so long I almost click away from the video rather than skip it. Seeing a bar to know how long it will last makes it more bearable.
Lately youtubers do that and im happy about it.
Can you see it on mobile too?
@@adiriko lmao everywhere.
It's an edit
Itd be a lot cooler of i didnt have to pay for youtube red and still watch adds... but i guess money is more important to youtubers than not irritating their audience.

@@enkaphalin1111 pretty much everything in the trades pays really well right now
Back in the days teachers had very high salaries and would get big houses for free from the schools, and the said plumbers were actually plumbing companies owners and thieves.
No mention of the Bugatti Royale hidden away in the paris sewers to hide it from the Nazis in WWII? The Citroen 2CV prototypes? Bugatti in the lake? There are so many crazy pre-war stories that should make a part 2!
I would love to know the story behind the bugatti royale
The Gestapo actually declared Citroen President Pierre Jules Boulanger an enemy of the Reich for refusing to cooperate and give up any information on the 2CV project. Fortunately the Michelin family, who owned Citroen at the time, had enough influence with the Viche government to keep him from being deported for trial in Germany.
The 2CV should have been destroyed on general principle, along with every DS
the 2cv is on the past gas episode of bran finds if you wanted to hear about it
Yes, the Donut guys dont seem to really be well rounded car guys.
I’m always curious how expensive cars are just forgotten.
I guess some people are just that rich
A lot of them that I have found were car entusiest that fell into poor health, past away, left it or them to family who don't know anything about cars. They don't know about the value and just let it sit because it doesn't run and in there minds a car that doesn't run isn't worth anything. It's a lot of trouble in some areas to get ride of a car so they just don't car that it's sitting with a tree growing through it.
I had a great uncle that past away and when he did he left a 48 Studebaker pickup, 56 Chevy Bel Air, 73 Opal GT he got from my dad when we came back from Germany, 24 Model T 2d Coupe, 29 Model A Pick Up and a 68 Corvette Stingray (Those last three actually were in his barn). Not a one of them ran. Most were complete but with engines taken apart and parts in the trunk on top of issues like missing windows, mirrors, flat & rotten tires, tree sap damaged paint, the Bel Air was missing it's convertible top and interior but in the barn under several tarps. My great aunt refused to sale them, move them, store them better, nothing. She had made some sort of emotional attachment to them because my great uncle loved tinkering on them. I just wanted the, 73 Opal since it had been my dad's car when I was a baby that my mom hated since we couldn't all fit in it, sold only because he was a family man now. It was the 1.9L H motor with 4 speed, limited slip, front and rear anti-sway, heated rear window, and factory 205x15 wheels/tires instead of the normal 195x13 since it was a track test bed car he picked up used in Nuremberg from a factory driver. Nope! She wouldn't sell it and my cousins sent them off to auction when my great aunt past away.
@@joeottsoulbikes415 Dang dude I'm truly sorry to hear that. It happens all too often, a car nut passes away and not a soul cares about the car(s) until it's too late.
They do it 24/7 in Dubai.
For real, my father had a 1955 300 SL gullwing that was one of twelve built for the Mercedes racing team. He took it to the NC highway patrol, and the comment was made, "We don't have anything that'll catch it." One year after he sold it, it was declared a classic. He kicked himself for the rest of his life.
Fun fact about FH4 barn finds: the licence plate links to a real abandoned car that was found in a barn.

I once found a Subaru 22B, a TVR Cerbera and a Porsche made entirely of lego in barns.

You just spoiled it
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT
Chad Kensington butthurt teenagers will say it was ass before even playing it, but if you’re willing to keep an open mind and/or played with LEGO as a kid, it’s a great little pack to race around in. And the Indianapolis-style track makes it a must-have.

@@sstamperr We could've gotten a better expansion instead though... and Lego is for kids.
my grandfather owns a barn and he stores a DeLorean inside of it.

If anyone wants to know what the other Cobra Daytonas are up to, they’re doing what they were born to do. They’re currently racing! The masters historic racing series uses I think 3 or 4 of them. I watched them being absolutely thrashed around the Silverstone circuit at the 2021 British Grand Prix weekend as one of the many support series for the F1 race that weekend. They came first and second in the first race, and both spun off on final lap after an intense race for the lead in the 2nd race! Very loud, very fast and very beautiful cars. Glad to see them being driven round famous, historic tracks to their absolute limit. It’s what they are made to do. Not sitting in a museum and occasionally parading around a field.
HOW DID DAWNA LIGHT HER SELF ON FIRE?
Someone else in the comments gave the story, TL;DR after she sold the car she willed the money to her mother and then lit herself on fire, I'm thinking suicide attempt.

That 300SL went from rotting in a garage to rotting in an even bigger garage...wow
That's just makes me crazy, cars are meant to be driven not just sitting in a garage, or like the SL in a museum for the rest of his freaking life !
@@WhathefrenchTV I think Mercedes-Benz is entitled to have their car history in a museum.
300SL. can't believe nolan made that mistake.
Its the Mercedes-Benz Museum. Now the SL300 can give joy to car fans from all around the world. And the cars are driven from time to time.
I do think that at least some examples of classics should be stored and driven only in the most special occasions. Imagine a world in which no 300SL has been kept immaculate and kids would only hear about the car from their grandparents. We gotta preserve at least some of them and the rest should be enjoyed by whoever bought them.
I'm a Greek fun of you guys and I really burst in laughs when you brought up that Miura. Great video!
One of the most famous barn finds was a Tucker 48 in Georgia I believe, can't imagine what it must feel like to discover something that rare caked in dust for 50 years.
I'm enjoying watching your good video.

prolly not. prollly in another barn. lame car
Sick
What about all the super cars left behind in Dubai?
*give this man his likes right now*
They literally made a video about this the other week
Prob is that I live in Dubai and to fix a let's say Koenigsegg regera you'll need to send it to Europe or us but emission won't let you and import age also old supers like 09 Aventador or Gallardo need to be exported and in here you need an Emirati visa which requires a Emirati ID which is taken from the royal court and needs years for foreigners
And we use only Nissan and Toyota so fixing them is hard
Sorry
For any of you guys in the UK
Look in your barns too, there's tons of old Jaguars dug out all the time that if you fix them up they can be worth lots of money

One of the coolest barn finds I know about was a 60's Ford Country Squire that was shown on the Barn Find Hunter series on Hagerty. It was a 1 of 1 big block with 4 speed manual. There is literally nothing else like it.

Man I love hearing about barn finds. I've seen photos of the shelby Daytona on the internet but never thought the story was that ludicrous
"go say hi to your grandpa tell him you love him" lol
I agree. The feel of finding and opening up all the barns in every Forza game is soo much fun. I like to keep most of the cars stock, and one of my favorite cars (the Toyota t-100 Baja truck) is a barn find
I love these old barn find stories, and can we make an up to speed on lotus and maybe one for Subaru like when they used to make little tiny cars for Japan
Huh. Just today on my way back from work i discovered that one of my neigbours has an Elise S1 collecting dust in his garage. Strange how these things happen.
buy it please donmt let that thing collect dust
My dad has done estate cleanouts and antique autions of complete estates for well over 55 years since hes been 16, and the things ive encountered growing up at some estates, that ive had to watch sell for hundreds of dollars because i was Too young to buy them and flip or fix, truly used to eat away at me when i started getting heavy in cars. Although the historical preservation aspect, and the amount of vehicles that people bought cheap and saved from rotting to dirt in those collapsed barns and garages, makes all the regret feel less bad.
Was exploring my grandmas property and found a Datsun 1300 pickup and a ford Model A probably not worth 1 mil tho
Malaki Jenkins it’s worth 1 mil in fun
Jay Leno might hook you up if you're lucky, he might want those in his mega garage.
My Grandfathers got a 70 Nova SS all original sitting in his shed. and a 64 or 65 Mustang convertible in the barn that doesn't run. Hes never driven the Nova after 10+ years of fixing it up

Best looking car ever
Back in the late 70s my dad read a newpaper ad for a "Plymouth Cuda- $2,500". He knew there was no way that someone was selling a Hemi Cuda for that little, and must've been someone who was too proud of their off-the-shelf Barracuda (which isn't nearly the same car). He went to look and was greeted by a woman who explained that her son had died in the Vietnam war, and was selling the car that he had left behind, not knowing anything about the car other than it's nameplate. They went to look at the car and it was in their shed, underneath a tarp, covered in boxes of empty mason jars. When he pulled back the tarp, revealing the shaker hood, he knew that it really was a 440 hemi cuda, and Immediately called his brother to get the trailer. He didn't even want to leave the property and risk someone else taking his deal. He shook her hand, said "sorry about your son", and went home with his new prize. I feel like this must've happened often with many of the young men didn't make it home from that war. I don't remember if he sold or traded the car, but he had it for less than a year. He tells that story with a very obvious grudge against his former self. He always ends it with "If I had known then what I know now..."
Plymouth Cuda was the best classic muscle car of all time. You got so lucky with that, and the 440 is super rare too, I've head of alot more people with the 426.
There are so many rusting JDMs in Japan. Found a rusting r32 outside a barn with knobby tires and a smashed windshield. As far as I know, it's been sitting there for years!
MotorTrend had a short series called "AutoBiographies", where two car geeks research and find out all sorts of crazy stuff and come up with theories about how famous car mysteries transpired. They do one on the Buried Ferrari Dino, and they actually reach out to the son of the dude who originally bought the car. Lots of information in that video that made me doubt that he was involved in the robbery. As always, great content guys!
Like the car wasn't for his Wife, He was a plummer but also owned a lot of property and had NO issue paying for the car, and the police informant was a CAR THIEF and saw the car on the street and boosted it on his own. Great show!
Man i've heard some goood stories about barn finds here in Portugal. Like some 911s, and Lancia Stratos
The m1 in South Italy was of the MAFIA that's why it wasn't registered
That Mercedes SL was an awesome find. I work at the Marconi Auto Museum in Tustin, Ca and we have one of those mercedes as well and after watching this video i realized ours also has those rare features. unfortunately I haven't gotten to drive it though because the fluids were drained to preserve the car :(
My first car was a red 1967 Ford Mustang that had been forgotten in a barn. The owners didn’t know anything about it. To them It was just a dusty old car in their barn next to a bunch of farm equipment. My dad bought it and we spent about two years cleaning it up from all the dirt and dust. It was a great experience and a fun car to drive.
Well, I'm Portuguese... I must find that barn!
And so the search begins
Let us know when you find the barn
I found a 1969 chevy impala with a Ford 427 racing block in it. It was sticking up in the ground and halfway buried in the ground.
Did you dig it up?
You talking about Carhenge?

We moved into a house about 5 years ago and just recently was looking at the house on google maps (which has images from before we bought the house) and turns out in the back of the property there was a real beat up 1969 Pontiac GTO "Judge" just sitting in the corner of where the fence meets the road. Pretty cool car and to think it was just sitting there right before we moved in. We still find old car parts in the dirt where it was sitting!

Dope video, guys. I can't get enough of these barn finds. You think a barn find will even be a thing in 20-30 years?
As long as there are cars to find and barns or barn like structures (hell, or really anywhere) for them to be hidden away or abandoned in/at I'm sure of it.
In 2014 in Alberta, Canada there was a barn find with 40 rare cars in it. 8 different Shelby's old and new, 3 2006 Ford GT's including 1 heritage edition, and a bunch of old corvettes among others.
My grandpa has a 1954 chevy bel air two door in his garage. He is currently working in restoring it. Its a little dusty, but not very rusty at all.
Me and my dad found a 1974 pantera gts in a barn in Alabama with only 124 miles on it and once we cleaned it all up it had no dents or scratches on any of the body work and the frame was just a little rusty... once we fixed that We sold it for almost 300k
How did you get title
Charles Keast in the 70s In Alabama there was no title... I had to bring it to the DMV here in Florida to get a new title for it before I could get it registered. It did have a bill of sale in the glove box tho.

Maybe you’d cover that old Plymouth which was buried in the late 50’s as a time capsule. It’s a really fun story, look it up
Cool stories! Thanks!
I've been told by an old head in my area at a local car wash. He tells me that gullwings were prominent in my area up until the late 1960's early 70's. He promises me that there are at least three still sitting in some lucky owner's garage's within our two towns. That alone fascinated the hell out of me. & will surely be on the look out for them. As I am a current owner of the fourth gen R129.

Thats my dads driveway... We have a really hard time getting rid of cars here so they keep piling up :D
Reminds me of someone I used to know. Their grandfather was a pretty bad hoarder, who even held onto his cars throughout the years. There's a '48 DeSoto in the garage covered in trash and a '76 Plymouth in the driveway sunk in the ground up to the rockers. Neither car had ran in decades. Sure enough, he says he's going to fix them, so not for sale, and his immediate successor seem to follow the same hoarding trend sadly...
Imagine working hard your entire life so that one day you would be so rich that you could feel the joy of giving your kids the most amazing gift of a rare car and they don't even drive it. Can you imagine how excited he must have been to see his kids faces when he showed them their new cars.

You never explained about her lighting herself on fire...
Yes i was waiting for that also
lol this is the cnn article I found giving not much more insight...
The Daytona soon landed in the hands of eccentric music producer Phil Spector, 26 years old at the time. He scribbled the car's records with house paint on the doors -- ridiculously exaggerating them -- and started driving it around Los Angeles.
This wasn't the first time the car was seen outside a track, as Shelby himself did several test runs in Marina del Rey with a manufacturer's plate.
But lightning quick as it was, it cost Spector so many tickets that his lawyer eventually suggested he get rid of it. Added to that, it was far from a smooth ride and became hot as hell after just a few miles.
This was no Sunset strip cruiser, but an angry thoroughbred racer, after all.
Spector wanted to fix these issues, but the cost was so high that he was allegedly offered to scrap it for $800 instead. Luckily he knew better, and sold it to his bodyguard, George Brand, for $1,000.
Brand gave the car to his daughter, Donna O'Hara, who then did the unthinkable -- she hid it away in a California storage unit.
Hidden treasure
Precisely as to why O'Hara made the conscious decision to just store the Daytona, dutifully paying the rent every month for 30 years, nobody knows.
Over the years, interest mounted around the car and she received several offers for it, but always refused. "She would rebuff anybody who presented themselves as interested in the car," said Simeone.
Carroll Shelby himself went to see the car, but she wouldn't even open her door for him
Fred Simeone
"Carroll Shelby himself went to visit her to see the car, and she wouldn't even open her screen door to talk to him. It was widely known she had it, but it was also widely known that you couldn't communicate with her... people had given up going for it."
"A very realistic offer"
As a result, the CSX2287 remained untouched from 1971 to 2001.

With the help of a lawyer, Martin Eyears, car collector and retired neurosurgeon Frederick Simeone finally managed to convince Donna O'Hara to sell him the car, for an amount he'd rather not disclose, but believed to be around $4 million.
"It was persistence and timing, the right place at the right time that produced the sale, and a very realistic offer," he says.
In 2008, he founded the Simeone Automotive Museum in his native Philadelphia, where the car now sits among 65 other classic racers.
"My criteria for collection are a significant history, original condition, American origin whenever possible, and beauty. At the time of purchase, in 2001, the only car that I didn't have that fit all those criteria was the Cobra Daytona Coupe, so I really wanted it very badly," he says.
What happened next is the darkest part of the story -- "I hate to tell it, this is a happy story and the bottom of it is a downer. She [O'Hara] willed the proceeds of the sale to her mother and then set herself on fire. That was after the deal had been done

Awesome video! I found an abandoned BMW 2002 tii and some other 70s-80s classics just down my road. Sadly it was rotten and probably now scrapped because the site was being built over.
I have found 4 cars in barns, an 85 rx7, 88 rx7, 72 260z, and a 97 chevy truck. All just abandoned. All had clear titles. The 85 rx7 had receipts with mileage and a freshly rebuilt 10yr old engine that started right up.
”Go say hi to your granpa and tell him you love him”... Well, his funeral is tomorrow..
Imagine being lost in the woods and coming across a old wooden barn and there being a 1977 Plymouth ready to go
I actually go my fiat from my grandfathers garage after it sat there for 10 years, never really though about it as a find much but it was nice to let him see it run new again. sadly hes a tad to large these days to ride in it but I guess thats why he parked it in the first place.
My family has a tradition of getting a car after Graduation. When I was a freshman in high school, I went along with my dad to one of his friends house. They were talking cars , and being a nosy kid I ventured off to the back of the property, underneath a tree sat a beautiful Porsche, even though it had weeds growing up from every opening, car parts on the inside, and covered in probably twenty years of dirt... it was amazing to actually see one in person, especially since I’d been a Porsche freak since I was 7. I began asking my dad if he could buy it and keep it until I graduated, unfortunately his friend didn’t want to sell it... the car was a 1959 Porsche 356 1600 GS Carrera....
I'm surprised you didn't mention how an entire warehouse full of mint condition 90s BMWs was discovered in Bulgaria.
I didn't even know that kokotas bought that Lamborghini and I'm from Greece!
I used to live in Colorado, italy, Australia and the uk And i found some banging barn finds.
Including a bugatti EB110, a Maserati tipo birdcage, a skyline R32, and an audi quattro!
Moving to Mexico soon lets hope i find more!!!!!
There's been a blue and white 1955 buick special coupe parked behind a local school where I live. Hasn't moved in at least 10 years, and it's just rusting away now.
I’ve heard of these kinds of stories a lot. One day I hope to find a Supra sitting in a garage just waiting for me. LOL, maybe I will just buy one.
A fast reminder that Bugatti just broke the 300mph barrier
Alex Lassaline It was modified :/
Fast indeed
@@bruh_machine but their teasing it as the 2021 chiron
I once found a white van in a barn. It gave me childhood memories.
So cool do another!
That barn can be found. 200 rare cars suffering and deteriorating is a shame. There are plenty of people who would gladly pay the man and treat the cars right.
True! And in my own country. I had never heard of it... Must find it!
You Portuguese car nuts should all come together and storm remote locations in Portugal to find it. Then again, the best hiding spot is one in plain sight.
@@kevinnorris6558 Im portuguese, and i would LOVE to do that,lol XD , Vamos juntarnos pessoaaal da tugaaa lol.
ACCTUALLY LOVE*
ABSOLUTLY LOVE** finnaly got it right lol
Abandoned Red spitfire in a barn by Delano CA convertible last time I saw it was 5 years ago visited it 3 times prior and it was still there
Might wanna get a guy to tow it
@@RosalieValentineCHENG lol its not mine thooo ive wanted to
Report it to therr police first? Then try to buy it out if no one responds
@@RosalieValentineCHENG What the hell are the cops going to do? They can't just steal a car out of someone's barn.
@@atomicmillenial9728 report it to the police so that way they can track the next owner of the family car to own it, then if no one owns the car, the car is going to either be put at an impound lot where you can buy it
love finding barn finds
That green on the Dino is A M A Z I N G!
Upcoming Forza Horizon graphics looks amazing!!!
No one:
10 year olds who play Forza: *oH BaRn FiNdS aRe FrOm FoRzA?!?*
To be completely honest, most of these realistic barn find are the kind off the same barn finds from Forza Horizon, The SLS, The M1, The Miura, and the Shelby are same barn finds from Horizon 1.
@CGTS 457 and every Forza game since Motorsport 2
@Joe Neri personally I think the FH1 barn finds were the most interesting, I always used to keep them stock
@Speedy Racer 4 thanks for checking out my channel, the senna is actually more forgotten then you might think, I rarely see them in ranked adventure
