- When there are a pair of unlikely automotive Frankensteins languishing half a mile from the Mexican border, leave it to Tom Cotter to sniff them out. These homemade Volvo and Mercedes pickup trucks, parked in a garage before being sculpted from bits of old Fords and restaurant refrigerators, find company with a hoard of other hidden classics. Two 1951 Packards, a 1939 Buick, and a 1930 Plymouth-all of them for sale. Tom continues the hunt elsewhere, on a dusty rental lot where he finds a complete Dodge Omni GLH and reminisces about the early days of the hot hatch. Between the barbed wire and hunks of scrap metal, he comes upon an El Camino, a Plymouth Road Runner, and a pair of MG Midgets.

![Uncovering RARE Ford Mustangs at Carlisle Swap Meet 2024 [Part 1]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UTihl_0CZcg/mqdefault.jpg)
Watching each episode from Czech Republic and find it as one of the best UA-cam shows. Tom's encyclopedical knowledge of classic cars combined with great commentary and clear camera shots makes this show so desirable and respectable. Keep on going, please!
In my opinion one of the top 10 shows on UA-cam or tv. Always excited about a new episode. Thanks!
Paul Stan me too
except for this episode
My day is always better when I get to see Tom explore some old car spaces
I would totally rock an Omni GLH as a daily driver
“It was running when I parked it”
Opens hood to expose grass growing up through the engine bay.
Fun fact, the very first car shown this episode, the Volvo stationwagon cut to a truck, is known as a EPA or A-traktor in sweden. You are allowed to drive them from the age of 15, If the speed is restricted to under 30 km/h.
1930 Plymouth is just awsome..!!
Happy to see an MG make the show. I have a 1971 MGB and I LOVE it. They aren't very valuable or flashy, so they often get overlooked on classic car programs and YT channels. They are a fantastic way to enter the car hobby if you are like me and want the fun of a classic, but on a budget. They are more reliable than their reputation suggests and almost all parts are still made and available at fair prices. I highly suggest any classic car fan sitting on the sidelines to check locally to see what MGB's are available in their area and join the hobby! Thanks again to Hagerty and Tom for these fantastic episodes.
Love your show, just love watching it! Nice to see you commenting on the MG Midget, aside from the typical US 'iron' - nothing wrong in that of course!!! I'd love to own a 50s US car.
You commented on owning an MGB in particular leg room. As a young lad I found this great and the cars lots of fun.
I was able to get Shelby to sign a picture of him with a GLH at a car show before he died.
Omni GLH my heart! 😍 It's time to start spotting 80s cars Tom!
California is full of old car guys and stashes of some gems and some sleds.. Love that Mercedes Camino..!!
Would love to have the Packard. One of the best road cars out there.
My favorite show
Jonas O - me too
FORD JACKMAN Me Three ! LOL !
Com'on son, you ask if the milage is accurate, you should know to look at the brake pedal for wear. You flashed so fast I couldn't see it.
"Jeff Jaeger" ?
LOVE all those 4 doors cars. I'm imagining myself drivin' one of those like the Cubans do in Havana with a Cuban chick ;)
Nathan Kim the Cuban chick is the most important part, and all the room in the car
At 13 minutes he says the Omni GLH did sub 12 second 1/4 mile times, no way in hell!
I always enjoy hearing these guys say the cars run great. You know the cars have been sitting under a tarp for years and haven’t been started. Cool stuff though!
French guy here.
Back in 1983, my parents had a Simca Horizon, the euro model the same than your Dodge Omni.
A very soporific car.....
These cars are so lovely and beautiful!!! from Hungary
I like his style. Always thought my Volvo 850 wagon would make a cool 'camino.
The 30' chevy what a nice car. My favorite of the bunch.
Awesome selection of intro music. And always an interesting story behind the barn doors.
That wagon got me excited at the end.
Love the old gentlemans truck conversions
Damn i cant stop saying damn since i started watchin barn finds damn!
Amazing at some of the finds and the prices that were paid for some when they were bought.
Love these big ol 4 doors,and they are all original!
Finally someone with sense that has fair prices on cars
I need that '56 Buick Century desperately
Looked solid!
Another great one here. Cool cars. Thank you for sharing!
This genteman has something that will never come back. A skill do manipulate metal and create these amaing things!
I'm glade watch new video when my favorite Chanal!
That el-dodge-omio is pretty cool.
Love the Benz! Thanks for sharing! (sorry about the Cobra, Tom)
I want that GLH.
Thanks and keep them coming.
Love the wagon, looks like a Country Sedan... the Ranch Wagon had almost no trim, and the Country Squire had the woodgrain shelf paper.
Old Car Alley
That old girl launched a lot of boats to get that rusty!
Man...you gotta love any 64 Ford !!
Best yr. Ever that Galaxy 500 runs like a flying fortress...😍
My uncle has 3 of em and they fly for how heavy they are...lol
Perfect for pulling wholeshots out of the parking lot
Thanks for posting.
In sweden we call those stationwagons that have binn cut in 'half' an a traktor. And you can drive those 3 years before you get your real license because it only goes in 30 kilometers an hour.
In Argentina made Mercedes W115 pickup trucks.
I would love to have that GLH.
That Mercedes pick up is not the only one in the world a Friend of my did exacly the same thing
No Glh turbo ran 12s in the quarter from the factory
Twelve minutes is more like it. Pure garbage, then and now.
Rod Z
I took my sisters 1964 Rambler out to the quarter mile drag race one time..
and they accidentally reset the clock and forgot that was still going down the track and hadn't reached a quarter mile yet.
twelve minutes. LOL! Sheesh.
I owned one for quite a while. Did some additional modifications to it. Used to beet the street racers all day long. The always got really pissed! My friends and I laughed our asses off every time!
Hi Hagerty, are Canadian buyers welcomed? Another amazing finds
Hi! You have some great bargains. Really n and many more. Thanks for sharing these videos and you drive ice car on small miles. I love the 60´s of big cars, Chevy, Mercury, Pontiac and Ford and many more. Thanks for sharing these videos. You drive very good looking 1966 ford country. Greetings from Finland Helsinki
This channel is my new fav
That GLH Turbo was called a Talbot Sunbeam in the uk & had a 2.0 double overhead cam engine tuned by Lotus & it did seriously Gi Like Hell 👍love this show
Can you imagine how many mice are in those cars with all that straw stacked in the barn! Other than that another cool video of Tom finding rusty gold. Thankyou !!
VOLVO TRUCK IS SO SICK AAAH
That 30s Plymouth is nice!
Yay! a new episode!!
The series reminds me of my old house. The people that lived down the street from there had a Karmann-Ghia and an SN95 Mustang Convertible in the driveway, and my father and I took great interest in them. Then one day my dad tells me that they’re pulling some cool cars out of that garage down the street and that I should go look. When I got there they had already pulled an E-Type Jag, a 50s Thunderbird that was in super excellent condition, and a C3 Vette that was also super clean. But sitting in the back corner was a 74 DeTomaso Pantera. I asked the people pulling the car why they have gotten it out yet and they told me “it doesn’t want to wake up right now.” So then it turns out that the cars were gonna be auctioned with the estate because the owner passed away. I begged my father to bid on one, knowing full well we couldn’t afford anything but the beaten up VW or the Mustang. We ended up with some vinyls and didn’t get to bid on the cars.
I love ur channel and see as many episodes I can... Wish such Barns in India... Will love to do so..
If your ever in Illinois you gotta stop in at Country Classic Autos.. They have over 200 cars all dateing back from 1920 till 1999. But there all in mint condition DRIVEING. .and get this low price. Yes not a crazy 50k price..they even got many UA-cam posting ..look em up..illinois finest old cars state wide..incredible collevtion
I gotta say I'm a huge fan of station wagons and old VW Bugs and after seeing that old station wagon huuuu I'm love😍. Some day when I have my own place I will buy a old Dodge station wagons.
Another great video Tom.. Please drive the 428 more thanks...
Again another great episode but should be in the 25-35 min area with a little more coverage on the cars
Tyler Shea ya these are way too fuckin short
Those are later wheels put on that GLH. The originals, if memory serves, were flatter and had a shiny steel look.
Some strange vehicles, like a twilight zone episode, where is your wagon, love that car
I would love to have that '31 Plymouth.
Quality content 👌 my favorite youtube channel
great work!
Awesome thanks
THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL EVER !
The fluid drive had a converter and a clutch attached to the back of the TQ converter input drive gear is about 20 in. Long I started on those transmissions.
I got the idea that the man with sunglasses lives in the VW van.
Man the owner of these cars seemed like a very nice gentleman
I want the 56 Buick!
You can just barly see a Morris Minor Pickup in that junkyard, its near the GLH.
The Benz truck thing is cool
Shout out to the Oingo Boingo sunshade on the MG. Only in SoCal...
The volvo is called Epa in sweden, quite common!
we in Australia call the merc a Ute . utility
I also want the 1930 Plymouth
I Want the 64 small rear window short wheelbase Dodge behind the GLH
Love the Roadrunner, but that is way too much for a shell that was an 383 4 speed that's been molested. The GLH only had 146hp, same engine as my '87.5 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo
Whoever buys that Road Runner is gonna have to find pretty much every part to put back on that stripped out shell.Also,some yabbo cut a bunch of holes in the rad support and likely in a bunch of other places as well so it's gonna need some major metal work as well.15K? I'd be hesitant to drop 5K on that pail unless there's a hemi sitting inside of it.
That's a Plymouth Horizon not a Dodge Omni. Had a 2.2 in it and handle grades pretty good. Same chassis and body style.
you are so much fun!
Have you seen a 1962 Ford Comet with the fens in the back mayor that in a 1965 GTO
My grandpa has a fully restored mg
That volvo is about to be a californian epa tractor
So cool that New Yorker infact I'm making my first payment on a 50 new Yorker tomorrow buying it for 600 bucks
I like the old man Caminos style
Lol I used to have a Dodge Daytona turbo z .. I didn't keep it cuz it was pretty clapped out but it ran great that lil turbo 4 was a beast in it's day..
LOVE OLDER GUY LIKE THIS CAN FIND OUT SO MUCH INFO FROM THEM GOLD
That’s just down south of me. He is right next to the boarder I believe.
i want that volvo. the sweedes turn then into trucks and call them atraktors. and they turbo them too lol
Need to come check out The Simpson Farm in Gainesville, GA
I'm sure you and us viewers would appreciate. 3930 Roy Parks rd gainesville, ga
Over 300 cars, trucks...
The Galaxie 500 is kind of tempting. But I highly doubt that that Dodge Omni GLH is as good as the Golf (Rabbit in the US) GTI.
Oh ya, 146 hp in a 2500 lbs car= 12 second quarter. Just ask any Miata owner!
That car wasn't even a intercooler turbo and they did not do 12s
The Dodge GLH had a VW engine in them.... The Omni and Horizon had few interchangeable parts with their European siblings. Aside from the heavier-looking American body panels and bumpers, the OHV Simca engines were replaced with unique 1.7 L SOHC engines sourced from Volkswagen, while MacPherson strut front suspension took the place of the torsion bar arrangement found in the European Horizon. The Volkswagen engine used an enlarged Chrysler-designed cylinder head and intake manifold and produced 75 hp (56 kW) and 90 lb⋅ft (122 N⋅m).
Michael Holliday the GLH has a 2.2 litre engine. The Volkswagen motor was a 1.7 litre (my father had a 1980 Horizon 1.7).
There was also a 1.6 litre available.
I also want the 48 crystler new yorker
I drag raced my Monte Carlo SS against a Dodge Omni Turbo and got beat. They were fast!
I was pissed off, the car was a 1986. It had the HO 305 in it. I did the same as you. I
sold it. I Drove my old 72 blazer till I got my hands on a 1995 Police 9C1 caprice with
the LT1 350. I still have it. Just had the engine stroked and bored. Used a Scat forged
rotator kit, put in a nasty comp extreme efi 242/584 & Trick Flow heads Now getting
475 at the crank and 412 at the tires. This coming spring it will get a Precision Super
Charger. Keeping the car plain looking hoping to get some street action around Annapolis
MD. I love those old Mopars. My dad had a 4 speed 340 Duster, 1970. His buddy
had a 1969 0r 1970 Polara Hiway Patrol with the 440 magnum. That car was killer
fast once it got moving. I bet you wish you still had the Fury now. Thanks for the reply.
Regards, OOdy Slim
What sucks about the second one is that they only showed half of the lot. The other half of the lot has a line of wayy cooler cars
We have some barn finds mopars
Any big dogs in here? Oh yeah I'd be asking the same thing.
I reckon he asked that cuz that prolly is a recurring problem. That part just ends up on the cutting room floor. 'Magine watching the out takes? LOL!
Somehow this guy managed to collect every non-cool classic ever built
max mccroskey Maybe because EVERY “cool” classic is either overrated, over-saught after, and overpriced....unfortunately the American classic car scene tends to be very limited and opinionated in tastes and appreciation!
Carl M that’s your opinion but I think most people would agree that 4 doors and cut up cars converted to el caminos aren’t cool.
Uh. The volvo is cool! 😎
Cool brings the price up...nobody wants cool tho it's about unique!
lol
That Volvo pickup is a Done so many times in sweden so they can be a tractor
Aussies have Utes, Swedes have Traktors, Mexicans have El Caminos.
