2:45 why do you call these cars abandoned do you know what Abandoned means it means the car is left on its own somewhere where nobody owns it anymore not a keyword owns it now this Bugatti someone does on it and they owned it for many years it just sat in the garage so it was not a bandit any of these cars or a band like the drag racer that you said was on an auction site for 50,000 if it was a Bandan how could it be an auction site now myself I have come across abandon cars that were left on properties when people bought the property they had to cars in the fields still those were abandoned but all these cars weren’t abandoned.
Good god, the 57 S Bugatti is about as badass as you can get. Cruella DeVille's car. My dream car. The Michelotti Jag is incredible too. Though I wonder what year? It has quad headlights so it has to be '58 or later, but it's on a 140 chassis, so what was the last year fro the XK-140??? For those who don't know the Marmon is right up there with Auburn, Cord, & Duesengerg. What a find!
You want Rare? Look up Checker Model A built from 1939-41 it is an Art Deco work of art. Easily one of the most iconic of the early Checker Taxi's and passenger vehicles, like most vehicles in that time period, most were scrapped to help with the war effort. Unlike most rare vehicles, in which there may be a few parts, unfinished builds, etc... there is only ONE Checker Model A in existence. Lovingly restored, it is kept stored away by the family that owns it. It rarely is put on display, the family wouldn't chance having it shipped to the recent 2022 Gilmore car museum 100 year anniversary display of the Checker. Checker themselves are a rare breed, with only 600 total remaining in drivable condition. But this is the rarest of the rare, a truly beautiful jewel.
I own the Kellison funny car as well as Jim Smith's Hemi-powered dragster. This video does not do them any justice. For anyone who wants to see the real history on Jim Smith's dragster, it can be viewed on my channel. A documentary of the Kellison funny car is coming soon.

Not one mention of the Hot Rod Hoarder channel where the hemi dragster in the thumbnail came from. Check him out, he documented the car and put it back together.
If the cars of my great grand father and grand father had stayed in the family, I would be a multi millionaire now... Just for my great grand father two brands should give you an idea... Minerva and Maybach... and there were many more...
Hot damn. That's crazy!!! Do you knpw what year and bodystylye the Maybach was? Do photos survive? Have heard of Minerva but forget what they look like. Gonna have to google that one.
UberLummox There must be pictures somewhere but as my father had married the daughter of a non commissioned officer and that the family had a military history with only high ranks, we were kind of the black sheep so none of the good stuff came our way... I only have a couple of memories of my great grand father telling me things... the Maybach was a two door cabriolet and one door was over 110kg... The Minerva was a 4 door car and it’s body was covered by leather... inside and out. The Minerva was from somewhere mid 20’s and the Maybach from the end of that decade or the very start of the next. I wish my grand mother, cause of the rift, had been less of a snob... just to give an idea on the person, when my great grand father died, he left a few things for me in his will... but my grand mother took them away from me... then told my parents that they had been lost... the next year, she was embarking on a round the world trip, first class... It took over 5 months... I’ve a lot of not so good memories with her...
UberLummox Answering is the least I could do! The family history could be interesting but how most have behaved towards my grand father and my father makes them people of poor quality with whom I want nothing to do, which is keeping me from knowing more. All I know is that the family finds its origins in Brittany, France and the first official mention is from 986 when in a religious text the knight de Labeau is named. Small nobility, always in the service of the king till the French Revolution... and, as we weren’t on the side of the revolutionaries, a few family members lost their heads and the survivors moved north to what will become Belgium. When the First World War started, all the male family members went to join the Belgian army but none survived (my great grand father was my grand mother’s dad) so the children (2 brothers and a sister) became State pupils and when they turned 21 they were asked which nationality they wanted to have and they chose to become Belgian... My grand father and his brother joined the army and achieved high ranks... their sister was murdered on the train between Paris and Brussels, but speaking of her was taboo, so I know nothing of that.

Someday I'm going to be the former owner of some good barn finds for somebody I hope. They are practically worthless except 87-2008 cars were mostly crushed for scrape metal. So the parts of my cheap used work daily drivers are sort of valuable. My wife always drives new but our old Jeep Liberty is my current toolbox on wheels. It's worth more than the rediculously low $800 we were offered as a trade in 8 years ago. My dad and grandfather have a used car cemetery too. It's been picked over for parts already though. Barely more than true scrap metal left. Couple of Firebirds but those are just shells too. We recycle
I don't care who a cars famous owner was, but to look for 50 grand for a piece of rusted junk is daylight robbery. You need your head examined to pay that money for a rusted wreck. He's be lucky if I offered him only 10 grand for it.

I have 3 abandoned farms with complete 50s mercury cars model t truck 1947 f7 dump truck flat head v8 with golden oil in motor and ever motor turns over with little effort one farm has a couple tractors an implements for them I've also located a big abandoned sand pit with the equipment sitting where they shut them off in 1983 because the owner died they gated it off an walked away and it's been untouched to the day I have found the legal owner. His grandfather ran a company there from 50s till 83 theres a complete cat d8 hooked to a huge cable wheel scraper. The tree took over so much u need to kno someone that can show u everything. Theres two k bantam excavators in fixable condition one has its hydro lines hooked up to a rock shaker box . I was told they would put the hoe on it to dig then if needed they would remove either machines hoe an hook it up . The hoe is actually sinking into the dirt next to it with the exact other machine behind it both turn over with new lines an oil I'm sure they could run.... A home made saw mill with a allic Chalmers 6cyl motor sits in the center the building around it had burned down but all there . I'm interested in a 50s single axle lowboy trailer with a tanker chained to it with trailer hooked to a 50s gm gas big truck Hopefully one day I'll get to save some of the things in there

I have 3 abandoned farms with complete 50s mercury cars model t truck 1947 f7 dump truck flat head v8 with golden oil in motor and ever motor turns over with little effort one farm has a couple tractors an implements for them I've also located a big abandoned sand pit with the equipment sitting where they shut them off in 1983 because the owner died they gated it off an walked away and it's been untouched to the day I have found the legal owner. His grandfather ran a company there from 50s till 83 theres a complete cat d8 hooked to a huge cable wheel scraper. The tree took over so much u need to kno someone that can show u everything. Theres two k bantam excavators in fixable condition one has its hydro lines hooked up to a rock shaker box . I was told they would put the hoe on it to dig then if needed they would remove either machines hoe an hook it up . The hoe is actually sinking into the dirt next to it with the exact other machine behind it both turn over with new lines an oil I'm sure they could run.... A home made saw mill with a allic Chalmers 6cyl motor sits in the center the building around it had burned down but all there . I'm interested in a 50s single axle lowboy trailer with a tanker chained to it with trailer hooked to a 50s gm gas big truck
Hopefully one day I'll get to save some of the things in there
That's not a studio batmobile Warner brothers don't let them go that easy. You can also tell the car has a hatch to get in and out of on the roof bot gull wing doors
Jag wire?
Why did you throw Hollywood Tom Cruise into this? Really?
@ Look in the phone book. ;)
OMG ! How cool would it be to drive that newest Batman car. A) I'm imagining you'd probably cause many car accidents with people gawking and ignoring where they're driving. B) I wonder what it's panty removing potential is.
And the bonus you can park ANYWHERE for FREE
Fifty thousand dollars ? Might as well by a Jeep gladiator they're both JUNK!
Half the photos are backwards! Who does sloppy crap like that? And mixing road race car video clips with drag cars is really stupid.
What's up with showing the clip from the movie Billy Jack.?
My dad's got some old cars
PLEASE STOP WITH THE MOVIE CLIPS! Just show the cars we want to see...
I have an old front engine dragster that belong to Bob Taylor. It has a flathead Ford and a chain link driven blower. I've never found who Bob Taylor is or any of his credentials if anybody has any idea let me know
He's a drag racing photographer.
@@BackSeatHump how would this car end up in Marietta Georgia at a swap meet 25 to 35 years ago
@@cashtalks6253 Beats me, Brian.
What about LEE 1 from The Dukes of Hazzard?
First Dragster name is LOCO not Hobo - geezus
Jagwire?
I think it is meant to be a personal insult: Sort of a cross between "jaging off" and "pulling your wire"
I got a question....from 1977 movie the car.....what or where is that black car from that movie????.....lincoln mark 3 customize by barris.....where is that awesome car???
I don't know where "The Car" movie car is, but it's not an actual Lincoln Mk III.
Though I'm not sure what the chassis/running gear consists of, I do know the body is all made from fiberglass made to resemble a Mk III. I'm sure w/some googling you could find all you neeeda know.
Just cos it’s covered in dust don’t mean it’s abandoned,,, utter crap
Why was there a picture of Johnstown pa in the part with the Vette in pa
1/4 mile car- shows daytona race clips, close but no cigar
What the hell is a Jagwire
Please! It is “Jag-wahr” or “Jag-you-are”, but never “Jag-wire”.
Java motor bike? I think you mean Jawa! For Christ sake, it says it clear as day right on the tank!
Jawa is pronounced 'Ya-va' in its home country
As I said before, this video sucks.
MG "72" should be MG J2
Ah ha. Well done. Never heard of a J2, but I did think "72" seemed wrong.
Nice rides!!!
02:45 the Adams- Family Car!
I am partial to the Munster's drag hearse, myself. But the car in the video is really cool.
@@indridcold8433 yap, it is!
1:06 talk about weight reduction good lord.
Why are there no likes on this comment🤣
Restore it? Rat rod it!
Bit funny that you never included the Mad Max interceptor. That was found and snapped up by someone in the UK I believe.
why is Microsoft Sam narrating this?

Tesla charging station at Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo Ca. 10;15
Some of these cars look like there from a mad max film.
3:41～これって素人が見てもバランスヤバくね？
Omg a 81 corvette!!!!
Haha! Yeah, '81 'Vette....WOW! :-D
When these toadstools break-in in the middle of a video, I am gone. That's crap.
I note their products, then buy their competitors.
Hobo or Loco? Name is painted right on the side.
This video sucks big time.
I believe that the Chinese government must have a hand in this atrocity.
@@steven2212 Naw, it was Putin for sure!
Jag-wire?
WTF is a Jag-wire??
Jaguar is not pronounced Jag-wire !
Bloomberg blows
Not fear now
Jagwire...it's jag-u-ar
50000 because the barris es owed it other wise much cheaper
Waste of time and electricity
