Barry sounds like a real nice guy. I can't wait to watch him see the '34 after all those years. Bonus: This dude's a car photographer. I imagine those pics he said he has are great!
sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me.
@Abraham Izaiah thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I wore a big smile watching this episode and hearing the stories of the evolution of the car, as every car, no matter how "finished" it is, is always a work in progress. I can hardly wait for the episode where he gets to see it again...
Good story Matt, its amazing how the chance finding of some document when cleaning out a car can lead back to decades of the car's history ..........and pics to boot, that doesn't happen very often. Cheers
Nice to see the history of the 34 tudor sedan come full circle :) And when he said "Honest Charlie's Speed Shop" It made me feel so old LOL . I remember those days (with Hot Rod City just down the street from me in Torrance Calif ) .
Wow that’s so cool to actually find and speak to the original builder , I can see the day you guy’s meet being a long and interesting one maybe even a little emotional for the cars original builder , I know any car we invest our time and efforts into become an extension of our personality’s and emotional investment, most non car people wouldn’t understand a car we build is never just a car . Great stuff and I hope you’re able to make a video of the meeting and the first time he sees it that would be something special, thanks for sharing and cheers from down under 😎👍👍🇦🇺🍻
That’s exactly what I think. I’m the 3rd European owner of a Mustang 66 which arrived in Germany 11 years ago from California, I’d love to do the same, but there is no Marty’s report for 66! Excellent story thanks for sharing!
@@IronTrapGarage i said it before and i'll say again i'm really glad it was itg that got hold of this car. could have had a far different fate and this gent may have never had a chance to see it again.
Stuff like this is why UA-cam should exist. The types of conversations you maybe got a quote or two of in Rod and Custom. So cool to hear his voice and can’t wait for him to see the car again and see what kind of photos he has of it from the 60s
I could only imagine what it would be like to be told that one of my early cars was still out there. And, in the condition that I last saw it!!! I'd be absolutely stoked to buy it back!
Hi Matt & Co. Wow, it's really heartwarming that you are taking the initiative to find the history of this car, keeping the car as the original builder built it is awesome. When you two meet I hope you have the camera going, my guess it will be quite emotional. Keep this up Matt, you have a viewer here for many years to come!! God Bless!!!
That is awesome, you now have the story behind the build, I hope Barry allows you to make copies of the pictures and please, video the reunion between Barry and the 34. Cheers
Wow. You lucky SOB! Knowing the history on these old cars is half the fun of having them today. Thanks for sharing the conversation. One of my biggest regrets was never taking pictures of our old drag cars and race cars. All I have today is what I can remember.
So cool that you were able to connect with the previous owner. Bet you made his year hearing from you and talking about his old car. You're a good guy Matt for putting the effort in to getting in touch with him.
Listening to you guys talk made me think back to the mid 60's when I was a teenager building my first 55 Chevy and a little later a 36 Ford coupe!Those were wonderful care free days!
Matt ; the Hot Rod Gods were smiling on you to be able to get in touch with the original owner. That's so cool that you will be able to meet him also. I bet a tear will come to his eyes when he sees the old girl. Thanks for posting this history. All the best from East Coast Canada.
No question the coolest thing I've watched in some time. Hoping for a reunion but it's really great to hear this guy recall his old car, seems like a good fella, and glad it's stayed in PA. I love this car even more.
We can’t wait to get him over to see the car! Hoping to have it far enough along to maybe even just take it around the block if it isn’t fully done. So excited!
This is so neat Matt that you found the original owner and got a chance to sit down and talk to him. Hope he meets up with you someday and you can make a video of that too!
That is great that you could get a hold of of the guy that built the car can't wait to see it when he gets to see the car again you could tell he loved that thing
How cool is that you talk to the owner of the 34 Matt that's awesome I love you are going to keep it the way he had it that makes the car even more cooler.
Just incredible that you were able to contact the original owner. He sounded so excited that it is still around, can't wait to see him see his old girl. Probably bring back a ton of memories and emotions. Nice work my friend
Greetings from Australia! Who'd have thought a static camera video of a phone conversation could be so fascinating and enjoyable? I LOVED that vid!! I love your channel and the passion that drives you in your various projects. Hearing the history and back story on our cars adds so much to the experience of owning and driving old vehicles. To hear him actually remember things as you spoke to him was a bonus. Can't wait to see the reunion episode featuring you and Barry with the 34. Well done Matt!!
This is the content I'm here for ... nothing like hearing these conversations between different generations of enthusiasts swapping stories and reliving the past .
Can't wait for the episode where Barry sees the 34 ford the first time in over 50 yrs! Hope it happens to soon. Whatever pictures he brings will be the icing on the cake. Thanks Matt!
Well done. Brings a tear to the eye. Really great to hear more of the history on the vehicle. Hope this is motivation to get the wheels turning faster. Would be nice to reunite the original steering wheel with the car.
WOW Matt, that is such a great story!! So good of you to track that man down and document all of it. I think it will be an emotional experience for him once he sees his car after all these years..
Pretty much every rodders warm and fuzzy there. Makes a great day. Really neat story, very lucky the guy is still here to fill in the blanks. Thanks for sharing
That’s awesome Matt, that makes the find so much sweeter, I bet that was a good feeling when he started describing the car and what all he did to it back then, I am looking for the video and his reaction when he sees the car, one thing we all always hope for is that our car lasts and someone takes car of it, I am sure he is just as happy as you are
GREAT SHOW !!! ... So many times I wondered what happemed to my customs from the 1960s ,,, Sometimes I dream I am walking through a junkyard turn the corner and there is my panel painted 1950 Ford from 1964. ... Thanks Matt!
What a fantastic video. It's always great to have some contact with a car's previous owner or family. I've got a 1947 Rover 16 (not a hot rod, just old) and a few years ago I got some photos of the car from a friend of the original owner's, and spoke to his daughter on law about the car. Fascinating stuff.
That was great conversation with the original owner, something you very seldom do is find the original owner, I know he will be excited to see it on the road again. Guess that shoots me out of the saddle. Take care of it guys. Freddie out!
Fantastic phone interview!!! He's still alive...lives nearby...AND has pictures as well as, OG steering wheel.WOW! My elder friend, in Orlando, bought his '34 Tudor in 1962. It's more of a Street Rod, but I still want it. Over 250k miles!!
This is so cool ! Usually by the time we get to do or try to do this the original or former owners have unfortunately passed away . I love knowing the history of a car it always makes the car more special . I like to do that in junkyards imagining the history of the wrecked cars and looking in glove compartment looking for clues . Good for you Matt !
wow what a blast to talk to the guy that had done it back in the day I'm so happy that you got a complete story on the 34 it's so hard to get a story on those old rods. The story makes this car special more than other cars that are found because most of the time you just guess what the person had in mind for their hot rod.
Just goes to show that people in Pennsylvania don't move far from home . My cousin and I are 6months apart I'm 69 , has lived within a few miles from where she was raised in Philly , only one time she came to Vegas in the 70s , makes tracking someone down easy , nice always fun meeting new people and the history to go along with it. I'm really surprised he didn't keep tabs on the car knowing the dealer so well
So cool to find the guy that owned the ‘34. I love that little car, and would love to have it myself! It would be so much fun to, cruise around on the country roads, here in rural Kentucky!
This is awesome Matt. Plus he’s a hot rod photographer. You guys should have him come out to look at the car once you get it all cleaned up and ask him to take new photographs of it. You could make a story book of the car from his old photos to present day. What a cool car with an amazing story. This is what makes your channel so special. Awesome.
That was cool and unfortunate. I was in touch with one of the owners of one of my cars, and it’s an interesting experience. He sounds like a nice guy. It should be fun.
Way cool to not only find but speak to the guy who built it. He sounds pretty sharp, remembers what he did and is going to get a kick out of seeing it again. It will be like a time capsule. Plus being a photographer, you know he’s gonna have a ton of photos.
That is fantastic to actually be able to talk to him about the car and it’s history But I find it actually incredible he is still alive and sounds so well and is so keen to see you and the car 👍👍😍😍
This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us. I’m sure that he is as psyched as I would be if someone called me about one of my old hot rods. I look forward to seeing the reunion. I would watch a channel dedicated to matching old cars with their former owners like the ones that they have now for reuniting families. Awesome channel! 👍☮️
This was cool. Im from NY and bought a 1970 Nova last year. Found the original bill of sale was from a York PA. Chevrolet Dealership. The guy traded in a 1964 Chevy 2 for the Nova. Got $420 for the trade in. Lol
Too cool !...I have often looked at old cars and said " if this car could tell a story we'll be here all night".....looks like you got this car to tell a story. I hope you video Barry and the car's reunion.
How cool was that!!!! I can't wait to see his face when he sees it in person!
Great story, imagine your hotrod preserved like that, man that’s cool
Barry sounds like a real nice guy. I can't wait to watch him see the '34 after all those years.
Bonus: This dude's a car photographer. I imagine those pics he said he has are great!
The back stories are always great and often are not so easy to discover as Matt did for this great car. It makes it that much more special.
Matt, you gotta record the reunion. Good stuff,
thats the plan!!
I was smiling ear to ear watching this, SO stoked for you Matt.
sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account??

@Abraham Izaiah It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D

we will be sure to film it!!
That’s so freaking awesome Matt!! Knowing the history of such a survivor is so cool!!
So exciting to hear a conversation like this, incredible.
What an absolutely excellent phone call. Thanks for sharing that one matt 👍
Good story Matt, its amazing how the chance finding of some document when cleaning out a car can lead back to decades of the car's history ..........and pics to boot, that doesn't happen very often. Cheers
We cant wait to see the pictures!!
You not only brought the engine back to life you gave the car back it's life , driving and working on it will mean so much more , Bill
Nice to see the history of the 34 tudor sedan come full circle :) And when he said "Honest Charlie's Speed Shop" It made me feel so old LOL . I remember those days (with Hot Rod City just down the street from me in Torrance Calif ) .

We couldn't have said it any better. We hope he is able to make it out this summer and check out the car!
That’s exactly what I think. I’m the 3rd European owner of a Mustang 66 which arrived in Germany 11 years ago from California, I’d love to do the same, but there is no Marty’s report for 66! Excellent story thanks for sharing!
@@IronTrapGarage i said it before and i'll say again i'm really glad it was itg that got hold of this car. could have had a far different fate and this gent may have never had a chance to see it again.
well put and spot on, adam.
heck , I name mine , they are more than an extension of my personality , heck they are member of the FAMILY :)
Stuff like this is why UA-cam should exist. The types of conversations you maybe got a quote or two of in Rod and Custom. So cool to hear his voice and can’t wait for him to see the car again and see what kind of photos he has of it from the 60s
Almost brings a tear to your eye hearing him relive those memories. So awesome that the car is as he built it. God I hope he gets to see it after all.
The best thing about old cars and projects are the back stories. The history is sometimes the best part of old iron.
Thanks for sharing Matt.
The best part of this hobby is the stories. Nothing better then sitting down and listening to the stories of the early days of hot rodding
I could only imagine what it would be like to be told that one of my early cars was still out there. And, in the condition that I last saw it!!! I'd be absolutely stoked to buy it back!
I would try to buy it back too !!!!
Old cars are so much cooler when you've got the history, Love it. Thanks Matt, Brian and Barry!!!
It just keeps getting better and better!
So neat that you guys took the time to reach out to him. Cant wait to see more as this story all unfolds
It's like opening a treasure chest. How cool. Original owner seems like a real car guy.
Absolutely fantastic to have that history connection. Can't wait to see Barry reunited with his old car and the photos he might have of it.
Do you know how happy you made that guy when he found out his car is still around and hasn’t been changed
Once you get the car running and have the reunion, you need to submit it to the Kustomrama website. That is where there is a history of old hot rods.
Yea great idea. I do enjoy their site!
Hi Matt & Co. Wow, it's really heartwarming that you are taking the initiative to find the history of this car, keeping the car as the original builder built it is awesome. When you two meet I hope you have the camera going, my guess it will be quite emotional. Keep this up Matt, you have a viewer here for many years to come!! God Bless!!!
We plan to film the day!
Thanks Matt for letting us share your phone conversation with Barry can’t wait to see the two of them getting together the car and him of course
It is always great to find old owners, even better to find who built a hot rod like this!
That is awesome, you now have the story behind the build, I hope Barry allows you to make copies of the pictures and please, video the reunion between Barry and the 34. Cheers
Yes we plan to make copies once we can get to together! We can’t wait!
That is Cool Matt, you getting a hold of the original owner of the 34’. Fantastic buddy!
Wow. You lucky SOB! Knowing the history on these old cars is half the fun of having them today. Thanks for sharing the conversation. One of my biggest regrets was never taking pictures of our old drag cars and race cars. All I have today is what I can remember.

Positive Hot Rod Karma. This is awesome stuff.
Matt ; the Hot Rod Gods were smiling on you to be able to get in touch with the original owner. That's so cool that you will be able to meet him also. I bet a tear will come to his eyes when he sees the old girl. Thanks for posting this history. All the best from East Coast Canada.
Thanks for watching!!
So,So very cool to have this kind of living connection and history to such a great original hot rod of that era. I'm still smiling. Holy cow!
No question the coolest thing I've watched in some time. Hoping for a reunion but it's really great to hear this guy recall his old car, seems like a good fella, and glad it's stayed in PA. I love this car even more.
We can’t wait to get him over to see the car! Hoping to have it far enough along to maybe even just take it around the block if it isn’t fully done. So excited!
thats really awesome.... that guy needs to go for a good ride in his old car!
I can't wait for the video of you meeting and showing this car to the former owner! This is epic! What a great guy!
This is so neat Matt that you found the original owner and got a chance to sit down and talk to him. Hope he meets up with you someday and you can make a video of that too!
We hope to film the reunion!!

Its going to be a neat reunion!
Its perfect, you Matt getting that car to resurect it, and then finding Barrys card in the car is pure serendipity, i can't wait for the reunion!

Would be nice to reunite the original steering wheel with the car.
Putting history to the car is amazing! Matts been working hard to get it driving for this summer!
So COOL. Thanks for sharing this journey back in time with this cars history.
Photographer... What kind of luck is that, Cant wait to see those pics and see the owner!
WOW Matt, that is such a great story!! So good of you to track that man down and document all of it. I think it will be an emotional experience for him once he sees his car after all these years..
Wow! Great to get the history behind it!
Very cool!!!
Another great video for all of us to enjoy.To all my American friends stay safe. Dale and Riley from Ontario Canada
Thanks you too!
Generations pass, the thrill stays.
Matt keeping the 1934 chain of history alive.........Nice work sir...
Pretty much every rodders warm and fuzzy there. Makes a great day. Really neat story, very lucky the guy is still here to fill in the blanks. Thanks for sharing
Damn cool that you found the old owner! What a cool story!
So awesome you get to speak to him n he gets to relive memorys 👍
That is so cool Matt. I'm glad you made the connection. A real BIG thumbs up!
That’s awesome Matt, that makes the find so much sweeter, I bet that was a good feeling when he started describing the car and what all he did to it back then, I am looking for the video and his reaction when he sees the car, one thing we all always hope for is that our car lasts and someone takes car of it, I am sure he is just as happy as you are
Hopefully this summer he can come over and check out the car. We will hopefully film the re-uniting and hopefully let him take it for a spin!!
It's great to hear that you were able to get some history on the 34. :)
GREAT SHOW !!! ... So many times I wondered what happemed to my customs from the 1960s ,,, Sometimes I dream I am walking through a junkyard turn the corner and there is my panel painted 1950 Ford from 1964. ... Thanks Matt!
That's pretty kool you got to talk to the old owner, it'll be neat to see him drive it in a video.
That’s the plan!!
Wow! I got chills watching this! Talking to the former owner!
That's awesome! It is great you found the precious owner!
Golden. Thanks Matt
THAT IS SOOOOOOO COOL THAT THE CONNECTION HAS BEEN MADE!! .....WHOOOO HOOOO!!
That guy was so nice and excited about news of his old car
Matt this is awesome that you have found the original builder. It will be so cool to have a booklet comprised of all this new history.
That is a beautiful car, love that you want to know the history of it.
What a fantastic video. It's always great to have some contact with a car's previous owner or family. I've got a 1947 Rover 16 (not a hot rod, just old) and a few years ago I got some photos of the car from a friend of the original owner's, and spoke to his daughter on law about the car.

Great video. Love the history on the Ford. Thanks for making my day enjoyable. Being locked down in Michigan is no fun.
We are locked down here as well! Stay safe!
Glad you found the history on that car
Fantastic phone interview!!! He's still alive...lives nearby...AND has pictures as well as, OG steering wheel.WOW!
My elder friend, in Orlando, bought his '34 Tudor in 1962. It's more of a Street Rod, but I still want it. Over 250k miles!!
Can you imagine getting a call 50 years from now from the guy who owns the car sitting in your driveway?
Wow. Id be 122 !!
Wish I had my 2 cars from 64-69.
sigh.
63 resto-mod today.
This is so cool ! Usually by the time we get to do or try to do this the original or former owners have unfortunately passed away . I love knowing the history of a car it always makes the car more special .

I'm really surprised he didn't keep tabs on the car knowing the dealer so well
Wow, that is the best car story I've heard in a long time. Awesome!
These are the kind of conversations I have at car shows. With all the shows cancelled because of the Virus, this was like a virtual car show for me.
So cool to find the guy that owned the ‘34. I love that little car, and would love to have it myself! It would be so much fun to, cruise around on the country roads, here in rural Kentucky!
We can’t wait to take it for a cruise. Thanks for watching!!!
Killer story and history great to know that there are some young people out there caring about the history and the past
Get this guy on your show, do a few laps around the neighborhood in it, that would be cool a.f!
We’re hoping to soon!
Awesome 😎 👏 hope you get the photos 👍
This is awesome Matt. Plus he’s a hot rod photographer. You guys should have him come out to look at the car once you get it all cleaned up and ask him to take new photographs of it. You could make a story book of the car from his old photos to present day. What a cool car with an amazing story. This is what makes your channel so special. Awesome.
We cant wait to see the photos he has of the car. it would be so amazing!!
That was cool and unfortunate. I was in touch with one of the owners of one of my cars, and it’s an interesting experience. He sounds like a nice guy. It should be fun.
Way cool to not only find but speak to the guy who built it. He sounds pretty sharp, remembers what he did and is going to get a kick out of seeing it again. It will be like a time capsule. Plus being a photographer, you know he’s gonna have a ton of photos.
We cant wait to see the photo collection of the car!!
That is fantastic to actually be able to talk to him about the car and it’s history
But I find it actually incredible he is still alive and sounds so well and is so keen to see you and the car
👍👍😍😍
It’s so nice to put together the history on the car!
This is fascinating. Thank you for sharing this conversation with us. I’m sure that he is as psyched as I would be if someone called me about one of my old hot rods. I look forward to seeing the reunion. I would watch a channel dedicated to matching old cars with their former owners like the ones that they have now for reuniting families. Awesome channel! 👍☮️
Thats a killer idea for a channel. Hearing the memories and the stories from the original owners would be amazing
Glad that you were able to find him. GREAT VIDEO. #STAYSAFE
Great video it's cool that you could get all the info.
Thanks for sharing 👍
This is so cool!! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
Fantastic Matt. This is such a great story, and such a great car. Can’t wait to see the look on the original owners face when he is reunited with it.
We hope to film it!!
Great conversation! ...Newk from Kentucky
That's so exciting...And what a great guy! He is going to be blown away when he starts watching your videos. I think you have a new friend.
This was cool. Im from NY and bought a 1970 Nova last year. Found the original bill of sale was from a York PA. Chevrolet Dealership. The guy traded in a 1964 Chevy 2 for the Nova. Got $420 for the trade in. Lol
Too cool !...I have often looked at old cars and said " if this car could tell a story we'll be here all night".....looks like you got this car to tell a story. I hope you video Barry and the car's reunion.
we will be sure to document the reunion!!
