    I lived in Michigan until 8 years ago. I remember riding in one of those trucks at sleeping bear dunes in 1967, when I was 15 years old. I also rode on Mac Woods dune rides on a cold October day the same year. They weren't officially open that late in the season but Mac Wood himself took us out on the dunes. They were using International 4 wheel drive trucks at the time. I got to ride in the front seat with Mac. On one steep dune we lost traction half way up so he just coasted backward down the dune, put the truck in 4 wheel drive and climbed to the top. Thanks for bringing back a memory that I hadn't thought about in years.

    As a kid we would vacation as money would allow in the Sleeping Bear dunes area. We would beg and plead for the dunes ride, in one of the 48 Ford's' occasionally we would achieve our ride.
    What a wonderful memory, thanks to you and your crew.
    Now that my wife and I have returned to Michigan to be closer to family. I will add a 4th of July trip to the dunes to the bucket list. If we are lucky ,maybe we can see the Ford pick up in the parade.

    Always great episodes but this one has so much meaning. I grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and have been to Sleeping Bear once when I was very young. I simply do not remember what vehicle we were in but did go on to buy a '46 Ford Coupe at 15. October 11, 1965 My dad pulled into driveway with a brand new 1966 F100 the same color as this truck J code Red with same red interior. I am in process of building a Clone of that truck dad bought new. I had heard of this one #28 years ago and sure wanted it but never pursued it. I currently own 9 1965-66 Ford trucks and more than half of them are under Full Restorations at this time. I do have all the parts needed to build the Sleeping Bear '66 just floating around if in need look me up. AZ stuff so it's really nice. Dad's truck was Red/Red with a 352 and 3spd column shift. Learned to drive in it that Fall in 1965. Yrs later used it for my DL test when I turned 16.

    This episode was absolutely fantastic. I know from watching Bohn find Hunter over the last several years. There’s only been a couple of cars that you fired up and gotten running. Particular pick up truck has a great story behind it and it’s nice to see the CEO or Hagerty, appear on the show for his own barn find and revival. I think you may have stumbled on to a new channel idea. Find the cars when you know there’s a buyer follow them through the purchase and then bring in Davin to help get them fired up for the first time.

    Been up to those dunes many times. My parents took us in the late 60s camping and In the early 80s me and my buddies took our Quads / 4 wheelers up there paddle tires and all. What fun that was. Great memories up there through the years. I keep a great pic on my fridge of me rocking it in the dunes. ❤

    Funny that Davin was surprised the condenser was bad because its just a big capacitor and they have a tendency to breakdown with heat and age. Back in the 1970's when I was working on cars with points all the time it was quite common for a car to just quit running or for one to not start suddenly and it was the condenser gone bad. Other times when you had intermittent rough running and the fuel system and points checked out it was the condenser starting to die. A lot of people didn't like the GM unipoints because if the condenser went bad even on a new set you still had to replace everything instead of just a 59 cent condenser.

    • @mindeloman

      My neighbor had a 69 camaro dropped at his house one day. It was NOT a RS or SS car. Just a regular 69 Camaro. I think it was a 307 V8. But this car was a CLEAN original low mile car and as I recall was like a 3 speed on the floor. Neighbor bought it with the intention of putting a big block in it. As he got into the car he had the good sense to not molest such a straight car. I asked him where and how he found it. He said the guy he bought it from was ready to see it go. He was frustrated and angry with it. He replaced EVERYTHING imaginable to get it running again. But it would never start. So frustrated, he sold it to my neighbor for a song. Just wanted it gone. So i was there as we started diagnosing the car and found all the brand new parts he replaced. Points, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and coil. Only thing he did not replace was the condenser. We were like, surely that can't be the one thing he overlooked. Found one he had in a tool box. That thing fired right up and ran like a sewing machine. He drove it around as a weekend car and took it to car shows as a Survivor, but wasn't the kind of car he wanted. He had his fun with it and sold it. But I think one of the funnier things I heard from a former life-long professional mechanic. He said back in the day they would put voltage into a condenser coil, which is just a capacitor, and just leave it on someone's workbench. They'd come along and pick it up and get a really big shock. Lol!!!

    I’m a member of the Hagerty Drivers Club and really enjoy your magazine! Our family has property in Michigan that we all spent our summer vacations on Hamlin Lake north of Ludington just across from the sandunes at the narrows between the upper and lower lakes! My twin brother and I were told we had to swim across the lake before they would teach us how to waterski. We successfully completed that task and at nine years old were the youngest waterskiers on the lake! Hiking across the dunes to Lake Michigan for a picnic and cold swim were some of my favorite memories. Thanks for jogging my memory to remember those good times! Great job!

I always encouraged the driver to go faster and faster on the dunes it felt like you were flying. I can't tell you how cool it is that you guys went out and found this because to me this is some great memories of my summers on that side of the state! So thank you!*** 😊👍

    I recently visited the area. My Great Grandparents once ran the newly restored Sleeping Bear Inn. Although I didn't get a chance to look, I got word one of the trucks is in a yard off Glen Haven Road. Also, the only 1956 Oldsmobile 98 4door (made into a convertible) Dunesmobile is on display at the Empire Area Museum. It is in very good original condition. It runs & the clock still keeps time.

About 60 years of vacations and time spent there and at the dunes. So thrilled to see this truck found and in the right hands. We have seen the other dunesmobile’s every year in the Glen Arbor parade, and it will great to see another one.

    Wow! Thanks for the memory! My dad used to keep a set of small emery boards (for nails) in the top of his tool chest. Came in handy for cleaning points AND for after you ripped a nail! Good luck with that baby. Dad had a '66 F100 shortbed with a 352 and 3-on-the-tree that he pulled from a junkyard and rebuilt from the ground up in his shop in Albuquerque, NM of all places! Moved the shifter to the floor during the rebuild. Wish I had that truck today! Davin, you remind an awful lot of my dad. Such a perfectionist (in a GOOD way), an awesome sense of humor and an overwhelming amount of pride in your craft.

The owner was such a down to earth sounding, grateful person. Who wouldnt' want to work for a company like that?

    I'm from MI this brings back memories...I hope to see the restoration...BTW watching gas boil out of the carburetor on a hot engine...gave me one of those "sharp inhale" moments... Good luck eh!!!!

    Our family owned an ex city of LA '62 F350 that had been extended by virtue of installing integrated 4' tool boxes on either side near cab. The full size bed was then grafted on minus the welded panel that normally goes behind the cab. Then they took a twelve foot piece of diamond plate to unitize the floor. Quite a beast... probably gnarlier than the '70 F250 Crew cab I now own.

    I had a few of those trucks when I was a kid and they rode like you were riding on a cloud. So smooth. There downfall was the steering rag knuckle area would wear out sometimes snap.
