Ford GT90 QUAD TURBO V12 Found Hidden in Rural Town! (PRICELESS "Barn Find")

- On this episode while adventuring in Oklahoma with Jrod's Garage, we stumbled upon the rural town of ames, oklahoma (population 193) and found one of the most rare ford cars of all time! Hidden away in this town is the 1 of 1 Ford GT90 concept car originally produced for $3,000,000 in 1995, producing over 750hp that made it the worlds most powerful production car during that time period. The GT90 was the predecessor to the now wildly popular Ford GT platform. When we asked the owner about an approximate value of the GT90 he said it's PRICELESS, but he was offered $8million for it, which he turned down. Safe to say this was one of the coolest random car finds we've had in a long time. Huge thank you to Hajek motorsports for having us, hope you enjoy this episode!

This was a Blast to film with you guys!! Thanks for coming to Oklahoma
you represent a real golden era of racing and cars in general, and you seemed cool as hell too! Great collection.
Man I just wanna meet you!!! This is incredible you seem like such a cool dude! I just got my first mustang but owned many quick cars for my age. Can’t wait to have a whipple on my s650 one day
Thank you for keeping this treasure alive.
Incredible snipit of your collection. Beautiful cars and that truck is B@d@$$
F'ing amazing video...😳🤘🏻❤️
I knew of the GT90 from playing Need For Speed 2 as a kid. How cool to see the only one!
I saw the thumbnail and was like, "no way, I know that car" Before I even saw GT90.
Couldn't remember which game it was on so thanks for that lol
Yup. Same here.
I knew of it before NFS2, but the game only cemented how much I liked the car
This has been one of my favourite cars ever since seeing it in NFS2, and all these years I've always wondered what happened to it, nice to finally get some closure and see it actually still exists
That's no barn find. That's a carefully curated priceless masterpiece!
Nowadays when somebody says that you automatically know they can't be trusted and they're lying
Fastest way to learn someone's character
Oh lord this brings back NfS II memories from back in the days, i cannot believe Ford gave this car to him..
If you are getting that kind of car, the only one in the world, gifted by a company like Ford you have done everything right in your life.
Hats off to this cool and surprisingly humble guy. A legendary car for a true legend.
Gran Turismo 1 and 2!!!
I remember this (and the Ford Indigo) from NFSII as well!
This car was a beast like the v10 mustang😊
They shoulda built these…woulda been a Ferrari eater at that time❤
Am I the only one who feels dissonant from such shots? You must approach this car, a work of art, shaven, in a classic suit with gloves on your hands. We have lost the aesthetics of Western civilization
@intestinumvitae9749 nope. They work on cars for a living, they know what their doing letting someone touch then or sit in them. Far different than someone in a museum that's reading from a script about a vehicle to some onlookers who have dirty hands and don't know how to respect what they touch. To not let others who know their shit get a feel for a vehicle is dumb. There's a car show every year where I live, people bring classic (and new) cars, park them outside the hotels in the area and let people come and inspect them, some let people get in. They dive them down a few select streets and show off for the bystanders. "Syracuse nationals", the actual show is at the fairgrounds but the people who own the cars give a free show around the hotels they stay at. Even the cops let stuff slide when it's going on, until some young dumb idiot trys showing off 8n a new mustang his parents bought him and crashed into a pole. They loosened restrictions sense the. Sure most cars and not million $ vehicles at the syracuse nationals but damn are they cool.
Brent seems like one of the nicest guys in the industry with an amazing automotive history. It makes sense he is Fords custodian for the GT 90.
Absolutely wonderful gentleman! A real down to earth dude with ALL the passion of the automotive industry 🤘🏻♥️🤘🏻
Insanely knowledgeable, humble and friendly. Class act if I ever saw one.
Then Ford CEO Mark Fields had a reputation for being a 'business guy' and not so much a 'car guy' so it speaks to Brent even more that he had a connection with him.
I could listen to this guy tell stories for hours! We need a longer garage tour!
We need a look at that "Jaguar Vanquish" he is talking about ( 4:20 ) 😂😂😂
I caught that too. To be fair, Ford also owned, or partially owned, Aston Martin at the time. @@muppetpaster
He needs a bar in there. I'd go there every night to listen to his stories :)
was about to say the same thing. this man is legendary.
Yes plz
What an incredibly humble gentleman. I loved the line “we were very blessed to have your heroes be your friends.” Makes complete sense that he would be the custodian of this. Please do more interviews with him. He has a lifetime of car stories to tell it seems.
That was what I loved most about this video, what a wonderful guy!
That GT90 is such a gem. In my childhood my grandfather got me a 1:18 scale of it and I still love it till this day.
These types of videos need to be preserved. That man is a legend and doesn't even know it.
preserved how? youtube? the internet? i imagine they have raw backups...
It's honestly kinda odd. There's a few 'old dudes' on youtube that have pretty small channels that are pretty legendary in the hotrod community. It's funny how some get noticed and do well, but others don't... also many of this generation would just say, "What's youtube?"
Doesn't even know it? Based on... what? Being humble doesn't mean you're ignorant
You saw his pictures. I’m pretty sure he knows it
The car is cool but this guy is even cooler
The car is cooler lol
The smile on that man's face when he educates us is priceless. That's what it's all about.
That GT90 was my all-time favorite car as a kid (Still is), always wondered where it was! So glad it's in great hands 👍👍
I came in for the GT90 but now I could listen to Brent talk all day.!What an amazing life! I bet he’s got stories for every one of those 82 cars!
I thought it was gonna be clickbait, but was pleasantly surprised. Brent’s knowledge and enthusiasm kept me as well!
I came for the car but liked the guy and his stories better! Cool dude right there!
Stories indeed! Wendell Scott in a Galaxy? Bubba Wallace ain't even that good
Not gonna lie - this man's mid-western humble funny personality is amazing!
That cobra truck is unbelievably AWESOME !
I'd love to sit around a camp fire and listen to this man tell storys for a weekend......ANY day, ANY time, just let me know when.
Great job guys.
You've definitely earned my subscription 👍👍
For 270+ mph, that wreck footage made it look like piece of cake. Absolutely amazing.
Many brave men have departed for that safety gear to work as well as it does, incredible engineering for the crash to look that 'gentle' considering the speed.
That GT90 brought back memories from early 2000s of playing NFS 2 that thing kicked ass in that game. Thanks for sharing this car with us.
Your young this car was in Grand Turismo back in the 90s
I was just about to comment this!!
I was just about to comment this!!
I was searching for that comment! :D Do you remember the clip of this car in the game, it was one of the best.^^
@@intelligentcarreviews8592I Drove It On Ford Racing On PC Back Then. It Was Always A Beast
That old guy is my hero! Doing what he loves n having a great time doing it! With everyone restoring Chevys we forget about these kinds of cars.Beautiful!
When I was a kid I drove this car in the NFS 2. It's teardropping to see that they decided to give this humble man a iconic legend of a car to be stored with a real gearhead. It's a decision literally out of a movie.
This was my dream car because of that game.
Ford GT90. A car that, to the time of writing, still looks much more futuristic than almost every other car in production.
even concepts
and it looks better than most modern supercars, too, because the design doesn't consist of randomly laid out holes that break up every flow possible.
@@lotharrenz4621 today designe is most of time shit, compare the gorgeous muircielago with revuelto
@@164Gems I can't even remember how the latter looks like... seen - forgotten.
No, thanks.
We need more low-key legends like this sharing their stories on your platform! 💯
I hope he can show this on Jay Leno's garage or something! We need an in depth review, this is too awesome!! 🤯🤯
It's fantastic that the missing GT90 ended up going to a real car-person. And great job to this team for getting it to the front of the video and letting the audience choose whether to keep watching the rest. (The rest was worth watching!)
I had a framed picture of this on the wall as a child 😅
We all did!
I built a model of this car with my dad when I was a kid.
That and a white countach. Ohhhhhhhhh and a yellow Diablo.
@@jeanjeanmich exactly this
@@jeanjeanmich this. cept ill take all black 1990 diablo 🤌🤌
This guy must be one hell of a farmer to own all these gems! That GT90 prototype is priceless. Wow!
One wonders what he's farming??!!
Colombian leafs@@corystansbury
Brent is my oldest brother. He not only farms wheat, corn, and soybeans, but he has ran a successful oilfield services business for 40 years. He is as he seems; a genuine guy and a repository of racing knowledge and history.
@@joehajek5576He seems like a genuinely nice guy
@@joehajek5576 Nice to get a family commenter. Sure is a hell of a collection!
How the hell have I never heard of this absolute legend of a man.
I remember seeing this car in a concept car book I had when I was a kid, and it's so cool to finally get a good look at it. I never knew Top Gear had driven it back when, so this is the first time I'm really seeing this amazing machine.
If I ever get to Oklahoma I hope to be able to visit this place, awesome video!
I'm glad someone like this is caring for it. ❤ Nice seeing her again.
I'm shocked that ford doesn't have this in a museum! This was one of my poster cars as a kid, always loved it. I guess I'm just glad it looks like it's being taken care of indoors.
Pretty sure Ford owns it and they loan it to museums.
Well Ford gave it to him to be a custodian of, so it kinda is in a museum.
One thing I've learned about Ford, they rather see vehicles in real people's hands than rot away in a showroom. This guy drives this car every so often.
It is in a museum
There is one (not sure if it was a runner or even haf a mitor)that was sitting inside of the ford dealership in Hamilton Ontario was bluish purple color not sure if its still there or not since they did the renovation
This museum is the biggest collection of awesome Fords I have ever seen or heard about! That Marauder and the F100CJ is just awesome!
What an absolute treasure these guys are! The kind of life long knowledge and experience that you just can't buy or store away in a library! We need to cherish these guys while they're still around to share their stories and wisdom with us.
GT90 body still looks amazing, awesome collection guys!
What an incredibly cool freaking guy.
The GT90 is one of a kind. Period.
so sick.
Literly
Heck yea!! I had a toy model from Sams club as a kid but had never seen one, even on tv before this
@HairryTurttleneck My brother had one too. It might still be somewhere.
@@HairryTurttleneck i loved those die-cast metal cars from Sams/the other Sams. Price club it was called out here. I still have several of mine
Its 2 Jaguar XJ220 super car motors in it put together. I bet. That Jaguar XJ220 was a beast for a v6 twin turbo and back in those days. That car is still faster than most super cars today. Ppl forgot about it.
He clearly said 2 Ford motors. Not Jaguar. Also google it. Ford engines.
Brent Hajek is Eastbound & Down in the best possible way. what a legend.
Every 90s kid that had a vetted interest in racing, video games, whatever knows exactly what this is. It's so cool to actually see it, it's been a mystery to me personally for so long!
Your correct👍
Crazy this guy has it. That building needs to be fire proofed, its unreal what he has.
Well most one of one cars have some private owners in the end. There is certain scumbag(no really he was gangster and now is just regular scumbag) that has several 1 of 1 Lamborghinis build just for him, he even has countash driven by Lamborghini himself. Only good thing about him is that he puts them on display in his VW dealership.
And tornado proof too.
It was great to see what the older generation know regarding motors of yesteryear. These guys know how to bring back to life old motor and the history of every car they have. Many thanks for a great video, from the UK
Omg. That was absolutely excellent. Thank you to all involved. That white F-truck at the end was pure heaven
This car was my childhood in need for speed 2 SE on windows 98. I’m all the way in California. But if I ever wind up in that side of the country, my goal would be to just be able to sit in this thing. Lol bucket list thing. Just to make my inner child happy
Get in line my friend and good luck with that as I don’t know if the guy or ford likes people just plopping on this legends leather
*I dreamed of this car since I started collecting COLLECTOR CAR cards. This car was in my first pack. I would stare at the interior for ages. That blue was mesmerizing.*
*1995..... Time flies.*
I really hope this gentleman writes a book, or has a continuous journal of sort. What a wealth of knowledge & amazing character. Such a likable friendly guy with passion. Thank you for sharing
Man i could sit there and listen to this mans stories all day. What a beautiful collection. That GT90 is dream car. If they built it today i think it would fit right in.
This guy is a gem!
What a cool guy, came for the GT90, stayed for the caretaker
Driven through Ames several times, never knew what was hiding there
Man what a great guy. Genuine. You cant fake Genuine
I mean this so much respect, I thought this guy had a rich guy collection, but no, he has a legit collection that was probably worth next to nothing on paper when he got each car. This is a TRUE car collection, and it's impressive and makes me respect Ford for realizing he's the guy to have it. I also love how he just glosses over that he's responsible for the Cobra Jet program, cool guy for sure! EDIT: lol, I just finished it, and dude slips in a Cobra Jet ad at the end of the drive, this guy is a a real salesman to boot
as a junior in HS in 95' that GT90 blew all of us away .... being a Ford kid it was a big chip to have Ford make the most powerfull car in the world ....and it looked like a spaceship so cool to see it again... 3d scan that thing and let us have it ...
“Crazy ass sound system in the trunk”
Pops the trunk…
Sony Xplod’s 🤣💀
Skullcandy earbuds 😈💯
in 95 that was the shit
its still badass for today standards
@@strawsparky33 explodes were, in fact, NEVER "the shit"
I had a pair of red 10 inch xplods in my first car they were awesome I don’t care what anyone says my whole system was Sony xplod it’s sounded amazing to me
What an awesome guy👍the level of respect he has and to be so humble as well, an American legend. Cheers👍keep it up
There REALLY couldn't be a better guy to own these relics of American automotive history. He's basically a Bubba'd version of Jay Leno. Seriously, what a fantastic guy!
This bloke is a legend! We needa keep fellas like us around
This car used to blow my mind when I was a teenager, the tires, the engine, the exhaust, the interior Were Delirious and it's right there in front of you! And that's not the only great iconic car in this collection 🎉🤩😛👍🏻
I am a Chevy guy.....but absolutely love the GT90. One of the most innovative-looking cars....period.
The guy who owns this seems like a real gem of a person. Love him!
What a find and I'm not only talking about the Ford GT90. The owner is a national treasure as well.
Brent is such a nice guy.
Could listen to him for hours.
Don’t see that many guys with daddy’s farm money that humble, what a cool dude, and what a car collection!!!
That Ford GT-90 is SICK!!! And that museum is amazing. I could spend a whole day there just looking at everything and anything.
That GT90 is what got me into cars. I am currently working on myself so I can afford to own it one day.
In the name of Jesus Christ, may the Lord open your paths.
A lot of the styling elements went into the Fords in the later 90s. The end/tail of this V12 4T car you'll find in the backside view of the little Ford Street-Ka Roadster! A very underrated tomorrows classic car.....
21:23 minutes of great memories of being a kid in the 90s and reliving the glory days of gaming and cars. Thank you.
Childhood Dream Car.
Very Cool Episode!
Love the GT90
That thing is the number one dream car from my childhood. That styling is just something else. Wouldn't have guessed I'd see the actual thing on a video some day.
Now that's the kinda guy u sit down and drink a beer w and listen to the stories he has to tell.... if he would make a book of his stories I would read that all day!
As a GM guy, this was badass. I respect his passion & knowledge/history he has to share. What an awesome guy & an awesome collection.🤘🇺🇸
One word can describe this man. That's LOYALTY to the Brand. I love my Fords but this guy is on another level. I'm SO ENVIOUS Of his collection. You always wonder where a special car went or ended up. Now we now. Props must be given.
I could listen to this guy talk about cars and his life stories and experiences for hours!! Im definitely going to be visting here!
Great presentation, the mood and explanation from the museum owner drew me in that I was in a fuss once the video ended. Thank You very good stuff!
What an awesome dude with a wealth of knowledge. I love all the other content you put out but some more like this would be happily welcomed. What a great video!
I've driven that GT90 so many times. Any Need for Speed fans out there?
Meee
Pure passion is blazing from that guy. Love that. ❤
GT90 was one of my favorite cars as a kid. It still looks like something that could go straight into production today.
You found the Ford holy grail!!
100% facts
My Ford holy grail would've been the Triton V10 "New Edge" Mustang. Sadly, it had to be crushed.
Ford used it as a test mule for the engine.
@@StaredownGames I remember seeing stuff about that test car in muscle mustangs and fast Ford's magazine back in the early 00's.
I'm surprised it hasn't been replicated, honestly.
Some cars just can't be replicated@@StaredownGames
Lovely too see the GT90 is in good hands, Im in love with thatcar from first time I saw it in NFS II, it design is just beautiful, timeless, it would've amazing that ford put it into production. Brent is a true legend, a creator. That crazyy garage and everything he have achieved shows the dedication and love he puts in what he does and that's admirable.
Thank you guys for making this video, I had a blast watching it 💎
Oh man that Marauder brings back some memories. Hearing that supercharger squeal at you is awesome!
This gentleman reminds me so much of my grandpa.
Definitely making a day trip down from Wichita soon.
You need two more episodes to cover the rest of his collection. I could listen to him tell stories all day long!!
the fact the GT90 has aged SO WELL really proves the New Edge aesthetic was spot-on!
GT90 was my fav car as a child 100%.
And the Indigo was unbelievable.
Awesome video! The Ford GT90 is one of the greatest 90’s engineering project cars. Looks like it’s in great hands with this Ford collection :)
Lap times? or was it just a barely running poster?
Seeing it again 29 years later still gives me chills - an absolute gem.
I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE IT AGAIN!!!! BRITHER THANK YOUUUU
The owner is such a nice guy too!
PURE NOSTALGIC OVERLOAD OBTAINED!! MAN I REMEMBER GROWING UP IN THE 90S AND THIS BEING MY POSTER CAR AND BUILDING MODELS OF THIS EXACT CAR AND HERE IT IS TODAY!! THERE'S NO SCHOOL LIKE THE OLD SCHOOL BUT REALLY IT'S MOPAR OR NO CAR 😁😉💯 I HUMBLY THANK THE TEAM OF "TRC" FOR THEIR PRESENTATION OF THIS VERY SOUGHT AFTER MACHINE OF THE PAST COMBINED WITH TECH OF TODAY'S SUPER CARS!! ❤🙏🏼💪🏼
This comment embodies my excitement when I stumbled across this video lol
This is the coolest car collection I’ve seen and also the coolest car guy ever! This is by far my favorite TRC video ever!!!
@9:07... I grew up in Orange, Texas and remember seeing some of the decommissioned Wickersham Ford Drag Mustangs behind the dealership. I went to school in the early 80's with one of the Wickersham boys. Really cool seeing this in your video.
Where my fellow NFS2 players at?
This made my day guys, that man is living the life!
I remember playing with a GT90 on Need For Speed 2 on the Playstation when I was a kid. What a cool looking car, and what cool ole boy who gets to keep it safe. I hope theyre both around for a long time to come.
I remember when i was young and was playing need for speed 2 for the first time! Congratulations for the owner, he's a gentleman and a great owner, thank you for sharing the information with us!
Whenever I hear the town of Ames mentioned it Makes me think of Ruby and Leon. Leon run a 4x4 with a 640ci motor at the tractor pulls in Liberal, Ks. Some of the best people I ever met. God bless em.
I didn't know they actually made one. I remember that car as a kid.
That's probably the rarest car you've come across low key
I remember when the GT90 came out in 1995. I was a junior in HS at the time. I'm sure i still have the magazines that featured it. I STILL say that Ford should make the GT90 for the masses. Such a cool car that doesn't show it's age. I'd love to drive my Mustang out there and see that GT90.
That man is living my dream. Seems like a real cool genuine guy too so i can see why everyone drink with him.
Old man rowing gears was Fawkin sicc!!
bucket list checkoff: meet the actual GT90 in person ✅
I've seen a couple replicas around, but to see the real one is always a delight. A true unicorn, she's aged like fine wine 👌
She definitely did...30 years after unveiling
That's the beauty of cars. One man (or woman) sharing their passion with someone else and the joy it brings both sides.
