You’re right. He’s getting older and will lose more interest with each passing day. The kids will inherit this stuff as is. He doesn’t look too energetic.
Did you notice his age? I wonder how good his health is and just how good he feels when he wakes up in the morning. I can identify with him. I’m healthy as a rock but my muscles, etc. don’t feel as good as they did when I was 31. I’ll be 80 Aug. 2024. What I’m getting at is this. If you don’t have a team working with you - you just can’t fulfill your comment. I’m sure he’ll make future decisions to make sure all these cars are brought back to NEW. He did say his kids will be taking care of them. The cars sure do need help..
they are not rotting , they are preserved in a shelter , way better than rotting in a field .. life just gets in the way when you have that many project , but he has a plan for most of them , agree that he should sell the others and let someone enjoy but maybe the next owner would just let it sit in a field lol
The way these men talk and interact with each other is so refreshing, it shows how we can treat each other and be happy. Not to mention the sweet rides. Great video.
@@RearviewMirror-ij2pr who he leaves it to is up to him. and its worth a lot. whoever ends up with it might do very well. In the meantime the cars are safer fairly well preserved and not rotting.
What a waste to let those cars rot and sit instead of selling them to people with the resources and time to bring them back to life. Seen too many old guys with a lot of love for classic cars not realize they don’t have the time to restore the classics they have, so they talk and talk about doing it with their son’s or grandsons when they also might not have time or might not care. Better to sell something that can be restored than let something return to the earth as rotted iron.
@@Jason-eh3uj I’m sorry I don’t like cars being neglected by people who don’t realize they don’t have the ability to take care of them. I’m glad they saved them when they did, but they have to realize other people can take care of them better than letting them rot into the weeds. Me saying that doesn’t make me not have a life, it means I’m tired of people thinking they have infinity to fix a car sinking into dirt in the now.
lol...in my 70s...have multiple rigs for years...none younger than 25 years old...all actually run...mainly ony 1 daily...finally sold a 66 Chevy stepside short box...I had 40+ years...2nd owner...finally realized let others enjoy...started up and drove away with just normal maintenance done...fuel lines only real issues
Captivated the hole time! I gotta hurry up and finish this one my daughters 50 birthday is coming soon. She’s been waiting for 30 years 😊😊. She patient. I hope you get to finish all those cars 😎🇺🇸
Great mixed bag this guy has from trucks, tractors, cars etc. People will always hate but it's his property and he can do with it as he wishes. Thanks from Scotland, appreciated here.
What a shame,none of these vehicles will be fixed or running anytime soon they'll be there til this man is in heaven,he could of sold all of them and enjoyed a nice life 😊.
I think by his demeanor he has had a good life rescuing family members old cars. Sounds like he has a wonderful extended family and hopefully one of his grandkids will develop a passion for vintage cars. Meanwhile it’s his personal museum.
@@shanew.williams you know I was thinking in a positive way,when some get older and I do see a lot of ,they sell their hobbies and man toys and enjoy the $$ they make off them,so retirement is a good little easy on the wallet.
@robertnovotny4588 and a lot of them will hold on to what they love until they die. At that time his collection will bring a great price for his heirs.
‘What’s your plan for this?’ Well, I’m just going to leave everything until it all rots and is completely worthless, but I’m going to keep talking about fixing everything up, including the barn that’s currently collapsing on everything. I’m definitely a good talker. Much better than a worker.

HI PARKER , These videos and the ones where you interview old time racers are PRICELESS. Once these gentleman are gone , the memories are also gone... TY GOD BLESS CIAO
Hidden rusty dusty treasures, the stories behind them, man I love these old farm videos. Mike, you're a legend for keeping the past alive. Thank you, sir.
Someone steps up and pays what they are worth and really want one of them guarantee he will sell it. You be ready pay up really want it. People like this love their cars and respect someone that loves them and will do what they say to them
Its heartbreaking to see people live like this and to have this later all end up in the trash/scrap yard. There is quite a bit of history here and really decent parts and cars to be reworked and brought back from the dead. I recently had an uncle who passed eho lived like this. He had cars, car parts .etc all over the damn place. All in his basement, throughout his house, his garage was filled up so badly and so unorganized, you didnt even need beams for the roof to stay up. Everything inside was piled from wall to wall to ceiling. Couldnt even walk into yhe garage it was so bad. Sadly he passed grom his fight with cancer. Everything he had....his kids knew nothing if what anything was, so they scrapped it all. It was so overwhelming for them due to his hoarding characteristic he was cursed with, they trashed it all. He had a lot of usuable parts and cars too. What astonished me is how he was able to aquitlre all that he had, with the minimum pay type job he had, and still raise a family on that, with having 6 kids to deal with. My cousing told me what they did and i was pissed that no one decides to call me. I could have helped them puck out things and label them, sell them for more than just scrap. Hell, would have been nice to get the parts i gave him 25 years ago back again, to restore them and sell them. They trashed everything. 😢
I see that at a friends family...Dad died...now mom...7 siblings...amazing cars and parts still left..only good thing I saw was a beautiful Packard that was sold off a while back...studebakers marmons etc...wide eclectic collection...older stuff..wheels with wooden spokes...non electric headlights...oh well
@@jaycee-fl3pp it's sad. And the legacy of those vehicles and the memories made with them from the people who owned them, dies with them, because this new generation knows nothing about it, or cares much. if it's not on a cell phone, they don't really give a crap. So much nostalgia is being lost anymore.
Sell..sell sell!! Clean up what you can, and sell them off. Having a hoard of cars like that, in that kind of condition, and not being able to get anything done, is just a waste. This old man is hanging onto memories....i feel for the guy, i really do. But man, its time to let it all go. Pick two out of the bunch and have at it. Build a better barn/storage area, put in a lift or two, put in a paint booth...get a business going. At his age, he could own it and have people working for him. Turn cars and farm equipment like these into running pieces of art. That yellow bellair with the red top would sell quickly.
Thoroughly enjoyed the vid. I grew up on a S GA farm and every piece of equipment and auto anybody wanted to discard wound up around the farm. My Dad’s first tractor was a Farmall from the 40s is still parked on the farm. I have the oxyoke my great grandfather made in the 1800s that hung on the back of the barn my entire life and is now hanging on my porch. My brother bought a new Chevy SS after high school but was drafted into the Army in ‘69 when I was a senior. I got to drive his car for a few months while he was in boot camp. Then he was up for tour in Vietnam and the car was sold to a neighbor. Good while it lasted, though. Before he shipped out my grandfather died and left his farm to my brother so he got out on a hardship discharge. Sorry for such a long comment. The old gentleman just made me want to sit down on a bucket and reminisce.
What most of these comments lack, in my opinion, is the collection. We all have things that we love and/or collect that will never be completed. I know I do!!! I applaud the man for his honesty. He has every intention to get those vehicles on the road. Life happens for all of us. I have fishing lures and rods and reels that I collect that will never be restored because I'm too busy with life. I really enjoyed listening to the stories and history behind his collection. Thank you for the trip to the past. My comment isn't meant to come across as mean!!
I'm with you, this is my Dad. I've driven some of this stuff. I drove the monte carlo when I was fifteen. He never let me drive it without him though. No one thought to mention that he's wearing a work uniform. He went home on his lunch break to meet this guy. I drove the green 49 truck to high school whenever my buick was broke down. Parker did a great job I think. Dad has good intentions but his business has been his priority for a long time!
These guys are a breed. Someday is their motto. He wouldn't sell anything if his wife needed a live or die operation. He's got the 1923 left wind of a blue jay from the Falkland Islands, but try to buy it.
I appreciate this guys sentiment. I'd bet in 10 years the barn will have collapsed more, and those cars will all have another layer of dust on them, and 10 years more rot. I don't know I'd do anything different, but probably. While i appreciate this guy saying he's gonna do this and that, I won't believe him, for whatever that's worth, until I see it.
Dad lived in Brooks GA for many years & while I visited many times I found so many barns, garages w/ NOS parts and some pristine autos & some junk as well. Something about Georgia I always enjoyed except for the humidity!! Good stuff. 🇺🇸
love how the old cars are dusty, rusty and haven't run in decades. but the old tractor is in it's own trailer, clean as can be and in original condition. you can tell this old farmer has his priorities right.
hey HI from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing your time and video of some Amazing Old Riders 👍🤩 and I think the Gentleman in Georgia is Awesome 🤙 his.srorys and time with the NASCAR Drivers is one of the best 🎉🤩😎💖
I live in the middle of nowhere central Georgia, and I can confirm that more people than not have a bunch of broken down cars or trucks on the property. I feel I’m slacking up because I don’t have any. Lol.
The TR6 is super cool!!! My first car was a 1976 TR6. The bumper "over riders" were a federal mandate thing from 1974 through the final year of the TR6 in 1976. Funny, that tractor has less dust on it than the cars. Lol.
Man, I am so happy to see a guy hoard a bunch of old rides and let them rust to shit . This is amazing. I'm in love. So cool. What a great video. I think I'll go take a shit now.
Sad to see IMO, they will just sit there and get worse and worse, then he will die and his kids will sell what's left of them. But I know, he is going to restore them some day LOL
Mike is a fine fellow and very long time business owner in Clayton County GA ( MIKES HITCHES ) he has installed more aftermarket HITCHES on vehicles than any other company in South Metro Atlanta
I like my dodges but I really miss my 63 tempest wagon 400 turbo 400 transmission 9 inch rear corvette side pipes. Never tell your mother if she needs some money sell the car. Called after basic training to hear she sold it for 500 bucks. 😢 The rear tires were worth that. A datsun b210 that used a quart of oil between fill ups yet didn't smoke took the wagons place 😒 Fuel cost alot less 😊
You are great at what you do. A fantastic personality that everyone enjoys. Always look forward to your next video. Although I am in Germanton North Carolina i hope to meet you in Carlisle PA sometime. We are always under shelter in car coral spring and fall. Thanks so much
Time for all of us passes way too fast! I can see this guy had and still has dreams for these old vehicles but the clock is ticking, the dust is collecting, the rust is rusting, his body is aging and his projects will not get done in his lifetime! I think I would sell most of them and hire someone to fully restore his favorite with the proceeds so he and his wife could enjoy rides in it!!
The guy keeps talking in the video that he’s going to start to get some of those cars running but like one of the commentators said above nothing won’t possibly get back on the road until quite possibly he’s dead & gone & the estate sells it .
What an awful shame the barn has come down. So glad he saved the cars from the crusher but he is completely out of time. I hope he can be honest with himself…he will just NEVER be able to get to all of them. I hope he picks 3 or 4 that he loves to work on and sells the rest before it’s too late. He can use the funds from the other cars to fix the barn and the rest of the cars he keeps. To ALL collectors….PLEASE don’t leave all of your stuff behind for your family to sort out. It will look like junk to them, they will have no idea what it’s worth and will get terribly ripped off by vultures while they are grieving the loss. You don’t want that for your loved ones so please sell the things while you are healthy and able to.
i had a ap6 valiant = just like that 63 dodge dart wagon = mine way 1965 - i put disc front brakes power booster 318 v8 fireball and a 292 4 pinion diff ! headders twin exhaust - chrome wide wheels - white with blue interior !
I feel much less bad about myself and my collection. 4/5 of my cars are garaged, tagged and ready to drive and the others are Garaged active projects, Which suddenly I’m inspired to go work on…great vid!
no time no money? at least he saved them from the crusher. youd be amazed at what cars are sitting around in barns and basements and most folks dont want their stuff on the internet, its just going to invite thieves . I got some cool stuff, but it aint gonna get advertised on the internet for some tweaker to come steal. and I aint selling them to some flipper whoes just looking for a fast profit. my cars will rust and rot into the ground before a flipper gets them.
Which one is your favorite?
The ones he sells that can still be restored before the barn crushes them. Lots of memories rotting away , if you've had those cars as long as he has nothing will ever be done to them till the estate auction. Sad to see.
That 64’ Tempest is sweet! Also digging that corvair
70 monte carlo
The '75 Oldsmobile Delta 88 you passed up.
'66 Plymouth Satellite
Guarantee come back 5 yrs from now and nothing will change with these cars
we all die, so they will be for sale some time in the future,
Well, he's a fixin to fix em. The daughter's car comes first while she can still drive.
You’re right. He’s getting older and will lose more interest with each passing day. The kids will inherit this stuff as is. He doesn’t look too energetic.
there will be a change,they will be more worse condition and the building will fell on them by then!!
They will be 5 years older and in even worse shape.

I was a producer on "In the Heat of the Night" - love Covington, great town! Almost bought a house there>
This guy will never fix any of those cars !! All those vehicles will be in an estate sale when this guy moves on !
A lot of this stuff will get scrapped.
I appreciate this guys sentiment. I'd bet in 10 years the barn will have collapsed more, and those cars will all have another layer of dust on them, and 10 years more rot. I don't know I'd do anything different, but probably. While i appreciate this guy saying he's gonna do this and that, I won't believe him, for whatever that's worth, until I see it.
Parker there’s more there, I think a full day with Mike would be a compelling episode
Dad lived in Brooks GA for many years & while I visited many times I found so many barns, garages w/ NOS parts and some pristine autos & some junk as well. Something about Georgia I always enjoyed except for the humidity!!
Good stuff. 🇺🇸
I love Mike, every other car in his barn was from a family member 🙂What a great collection, to many cars and too little time is not a "bad" thing imo.
love how the old cars are dusty, rusty and haven't run in decades. but the old tractor is in it's own trailer, clean as can be and in original condition.
you can tell this old farmer has his priorities right.
Looks of his rv money is no object
His type of love is the kiss of DEATH for everything he's got.
hey HI from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing your time and video of some Amazing Old Riders 👍🤩 and I think the Gentleman in Georgia is Awesome 🤙 his.srorys and time with the NASCAR Drivers is one of the best 🎉🤩😎💖
This guy is a hoarder. Plain and simple.
I live in the middle of nowhere central Georgia, and I can confirm that more people than not have a bunch of broken down cars or trucks on the property. I feel I’m slacking up because I don’t have any. Lol.
These type of guys are a special breed, you will find them all over the world, they just love buying rubbish and have the same saying
“I WAS GUNNA” 🤣
Thanks for the tour. I enjoyed it.
This poor chap had a sad story to tell on every vehicle and why he hasn’t repaired any of them. Those pieces of history will be lost. What a shame.
It isn't money he is well off , he may simply be burn out and the passion is fading
Awesome video thanks buddy…
Interesting To see a US car guy be knowledgeable about the 105E anglia . When I was 16 i had a anglia van . And yes they are still very popular 😊
I like mike , awsome cars fellas 👌
It’s great when you do whatever you wish with the things you own.
exactly, what is the whining about here
The TR6 is super cool!!! My first car was a 1976 TR6. The bumper "over riders" were a federal mandate thing from 1974 through the final year of the TR6 in 1976. Funny, that tractor has less dust on it than the cars. Lol.
Man, I am so happy to see a guy hoard a bunch of old rides and let them rust to shit . This is amazing. I'm in love. So cool. What a great video. I think I'll go take a shit now.
you picked the wrong time of the year to visit Georgia . Bro it is hot and humid down here .
The "Bathroom" statement was great
Sad to see IMO, they will just sit there and get worse and worse, then he will die and his kids will sell what's left of them. But I know, he is going to restore them some day LOL
Mike is a fine fellow and very long time business owner in Clayton County GA
( MIKES HITCHES )
he has installed more aftermarket HITCHES on vehicles than any other company in South Metro Atlanta
Nice tour! Thanks
Most of these vehicles have been in way more than twenty years.
The 63 Dart wagon is my favorite
I like my dodges but I really miss my 63 tempest wagon 400 turbo 400 transmission 9 inch rear corvette side pipes. Never tell your mother if she needs some money sell the car. Called after basic training to hear she sold it for 500 bucks. 😢 The rear tires were worth that. A datsun b210 that used a quart of oil between fill ups yet didn't smoke took the wagons place 😒 Fuel cost alot less 😊
You are great at what you do. A fantastic personality that everyone enjoys. Always look forward to your next video. Although I am in Germanton North Carolina i hope to meet you in Carlisle PA sometime. We are always under shelter in car coral spring and fall. Thanks so much
He will restore everything I know this
Time for all of us passes way too fast! I can see this guy had and still has dreams for these old vehicles but the clock is ticking, the dust is collecting, the rust is rusting, his body is aging and his projects will not get done in his lifetime! I think I would sell most of them and hire someone to fully restore his favorite with the proceeds so he and his wife could enjoy rides in it!!
OMG I went to Mathis Dairy many times on school field trips. I milked Rosebud!
Same sob story on every car. Those cars will not get pulled out of the ground until he gets pulled in. That’s reality.
Neat guest, some cool vehicles. My favorites were the wacky rear-engine tractor and the Hough Payloader. Just because I’ve never seen them before.
What a shame. Cars will rot just like that barn.
The guy keeps talking in the video that he’s going to start to get some of those cars running but like one of the commentators said above nothing won’t possibly get back on the road until quite possibly he’s dead & gone & the estate sells it .
What a nice fella lots of nice cars and lots of dreams. Just running out of time.
Nice collection of family heirlooms, but they won't see a wrench or anything else. I'll take the '66 Plymouth Satellite.
Every old man in the world is gonna fix their cars up.
What an awful shame the barn has come down. So glad he saved the cars from the crusher but he is completely out of time. I hope he can be honest with himself…he will just NEVER be able to get to all of them. I hope he picks 3 or 4 that he loves to work on and sells the rest before it’s too late. He can use the funds from the other cars to fix the barn and the rest of the cars he keeps. To ALL collectors….PLEASE don’t leave all of your stuff behind for your family to sort out. It will look like junk to them, they will have no idea what it’s worth and will get terribly ripped off by vultures while they are grieving the loss. You don’t want that for your loved ones so please sell the things while you are healthy and able to.
Very interesting , a trip in time. Many thanks.
None of these will move til he’s dead and buried.
i had a ap6 valiant = just like that 63 dodge dart wagon = mine way 1965 - i put disc front brakes power booster 318 v8 fireball and a 292 4 pinion diff ! headders twin exhaust - chrome wide wheels - white with blue interior !
Goodness I can’t believe a the wonderful old cars.
Looooved my old Corvair !!!!❤❤
Great job Parker
Can you say Hoarder?
I feel much less bad about myself and my collection. 4/5 of my cars are garaged, tagged and ready to drive and the others are Garaged active projects, Which suddenly I’m inspired to go work on…great vid!
Very nice man and good history
More car hoarders letting them rot with nothing for sale
Was there anything here you'd want to buy?
@@Gorloxen Cars don't rot, they rust. Wood rots. I hate it when people talk about metal objects "rotting."
Love that 54 Chevy
Good job guys
I never understood why any man would let vehicles like that jus rot away without doing something with them, its a sickness
no time no money? at least he saved them from the crusher.
youd be amazed at what cars are sitting around in barns and basements and most folks dont want their stuff on the internet, its just going to invite thieves .
I got some cool stuff, but it aint gonna get advertised on the internet for some tweaker to come steal.
and I aint selling them to some flipper whoes just looking for a fast profit.
my cars will rust and rot into the ground before a flipper gets them.
