I cried when I saw the Superbird
Alpine white 70 Superbird! Man there are some awesome cars in that barn.
Please somebody rescue these cars. It's so sad to see classics go to waste like that.
All of these people giving this guy shit about ruining these cars need to remember that people like this is the only reason these cars are around in the first place. Back in the day when these cars were everywhere they were just driven to death or raced or crashed then junked. Few people had the foresight to hold on to these cars and keep them safe albeit not as safe as they could be I will admit.
This is true my uncle is a huge chevy fan and when he was in his 30's he bought 70's monte carlo's off of people for dirt cheap that where in good shape and put them away and stored them and people called him crazy for doing that but now just look at the price for one of those cars he told me "the reason why I bought out a bunch of them is because I knew they where gonna be worth something someday" and he was right and he said that he isnt gonna sell any of them until he is ready to retire and sell them off so he can live the rest of his life without to worrie about money
Wow, the Superbrid is cool. Not many of those kicking around in survivor condition, normally they are over restored shadows. Its fun to see time capsules like this. Glad he's keeping them under cover.
Thank god there is not that many around! Fucking ugly ass mopar shit!
Colum shift cars were built because it is lighter to install column shift as opposed to a floor shift with all the heavy mounting brackets and console. Plus it is easier to drag race a column shift car than a console shift car. Same goes for bench seat vs bucket seats, the bench seat is lighter than the two bucket seats.
why do people let rot this beautiful cars instead of taking care of them?, that says to me that person doesnt love cars
They aren't rotting. On most of the cars there all you see is dust on the complete cars. They are just in long term hibernation.
Ryan Brutt disagree. they could be in mint condition if someone had taken care of them
Its a lot like hoarding; people love the things they are 'collecting', but don't dedicate the time and money to care for them properly.
nowitsabadtime so true.., there used to be a 65 or 66 mustang fastback up the road from me that was not for sale because the old man and his son was going to restore it someday,,well guess what..it rotted away with rust from sitting outside...what a waste..
I looked these cars over very carefully. There is very little rust. They were in a very low moisture area and for the most part off the ground.
He covers up the crap and lets the Gems rot! Go figure!
Those are some amazing vehicles! The bodies look very solid on them. I would have been like a kid in a candy store in that barn LOL. Thanks for sharing this video!
It's hard to believe in 2014 there are still cars hiding in barns.
Thanks for the video.
im drooling over these street machines.
Guy obviously doesn't give a shit about them if they are covered in that much shit and dust.. Sad to see.. These cars deserve a better owner.
No, he does care, that's why they are inside and safe, and not rotting away in his yard. They are actually very well preserved.
Barn Finds: Automotive Archaeology He's a hoarder, not an enthusiast. If I care about a car I'm not going to stack things on it and let there be 40+ years of dust just chilling on it.
Why not? Better then them sitting out in a field somewhere rotting away. The few items sitting on one car are not going to hurt them.
Barn Finds: Automotive Archaeology Yeah for sure it's better than a field.. But even just dust sitting on the paint of a car will etch it's way in though.. That's why even cars at a dealership need to be hit with a clay bar because they had dust sitting on them in the shipping containers and it etched into the clear. Maybe I'm just too anal about keeping cars clean xD These are awesome cars.. It's just a shame that they aren't sitting pretty all washed up and cared for. One hell of a find none the less.
Not to mention the amount of mice shit and piss that every one of these cars has been subjected too. They all are destroyed inside and out.
Don't knock this guy for leaving them in a barn to rot , he had them there before the 80s, not knowing , one day they would be worth 100 tomes more. We all had cars, and sadly sold them, at least, he's smarter than us, find them , keep them , hold them . Amen to barn finds .
People are all upset with this guy, but I am not. The Superbird was stated to have been bought in the 70's. Remember a thing called the "gas crunch"? Muscle cars were worth little to nothing at the time. I met a fellow in Florida 20 years ago who showed me a photo album of the cars he had worked on over the years, In one picture, there were 3 GT-350 Shelby Mustangs lined up by his shop. They were all turned into asphalt stock cars! He said they cut up Shelbys because they were cheaper than a regular Mustang and were already "half built". The guy with these cars probably bought them around the same time just because he liked them, and they were cheap enough to get ahold of. Yes, they should be restored now, but at least they are still here, and in restorable condition. If not for him, they probably would have been cut up for stock cars, drag cars, or bought by a kid who would have totaled them out, etc. They're his, he saved them, they are under a roof, and when he passes on, they will undoubtedly end up with someone who will bring them back to where they should be. Let him be happy that he has them. There is a good chance that if it wasn't for the guy you are hating on, they would be nonexistent.
What a great collection:) This barn shows us that there are still many unknown gems that are out there. Good luck finding them.
Exactly
Wow! A Torino Taledega, a Cale Yarborough Cyclone, and a Superbird all in the same barn
You can read more about this Barn Find in the August 2014 issue of Muscle Car Review Magazine.
+Ryan Brutt Good video sir, just sad that the owner is letting them slowly slip away, I keep my 69 in a climate control garage.
+wild cowboy Oh I understand. You'll see in the updated video they are still perfectly fine.
This is a crime I'd take that super bird & 69 charger right now. My heart bleeds.
i would kill for that superbird
no shit I would totally kill
+anthony lambing who we killin?
The owner haha
same
I have💀
good thing the wood is not old and dry, steel sheds and a concrete floor would be a bad investment. What a waste it would be to lose the cars to fire. beautiful barn cars, thanks for sharing
I was seeing these cars on the back lot for around a grand or less in the seventies....A buddy picked up an AAR Cuda 1970, 340 six pack for twenty three hundred in 1980. Very nice driver...
hi Ryan. Great collection. I hope one day that they will be restored and placed in a collection where they can be shown to the public. They represent the good times when cars were made right. and could help others as reference to restore their cars to their proper glory. Thanks for posting this.
That Charger 500 and '66 Charger are awesome
That Superbird/Daytona is worth $100,000 as is. I have seen them go for 500,000$ Fully restored at auctions. I pray to the car Gods he is restoring these...
+SpeedFreak He restores them one by one. There was another whole "barn" full of restored cars.
Cool man at least they will get some life into them.. Seen them go to waste so many times. There's a 70 Nova that's rotting away by me and the guy will not get rid of it.
My uncle had 4 1970 superbirds back in the day but sadly he is down to 2 of them and one of them has 0 miles on it. He had Blue, Green, Yellow and Orange but now he has Blue and Yellow. Nice cars they are like his babies wont even let his adult kids near them.
+ SpeedFreak Brings back memories of the "Columbo" Peugeot 403, car has been parked next to the ocean in Orange County, the dude that owns it thinks it's worth millions .... literally a rotting hulk now ... nothing salvageable .. .not even the riveted VIN ... which is mostly rotted away.
Peugeot folks in France, back in the early 1990s offered him a very fair price (when the car was still salvageable); that man's greed got the best of him...and he'll never get a dime now.
Tempted L9 Don’t be such a dick. The owner probably doesn’t drive the car and only washes it and keeps it nice.
Through the years from the middle 70's on, I watched a '55 Chevy convertible rot down to junk in a field. The whole time with a "not for sale" sign on it. It's not there anymore, presume it went to the crusher..
It’s a sickness mate,quite sad really.
Thanks for the video. A great find, just the way they are
That is truely an incredible collection!!! A MOPAR MASTERPIECE!!!:D Great video man thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you liked it.
As I was watching this I heard a strange sound. It turned out to be me whimpering from a low...primal place in my body. If I found these I'd pass out, I'm having problems breathing as it is! Thank you for posting this
Dylan G lol
What upsets me is I might live down the road from the guy and I'd never know....
+John Smith Sad but true.
I grew up in Illinois. Bought my first car in 1979. Was a 1967 Firbird with 50 k miles, paid $120 dollars for it. The good Ole days lol
Very cool!
VERY AWESOME! I remember reading about these in MCR. Blew me away then and now. thanks for sharing!
Dibs ! LOL awesome find Ryan
Happy to hear you liked it.
beautiful collecton the man's got eclectic tastes in cars I like that. Not just a bunch of mopars or chev or ford but a little bit of everything incl the whimsical & trivial.
Great video Ryan. The epicness in that barn, I hope this guy restores them or atleast takes off all that filth and dust. So hez part of the Aero warriors club...... whats next?
Nothing, he toys with his cars. There was another barn I did not tape full of nice cars as well.
Holy shit! Thought barns like this were only fantasies!
Oh if you all only knew... Some of these dusty jewels still run AND drive. ;)
Wow! Thanks for posting this video. That's an impressive collection. I read the magazine article, but the video is even better. I dream of someday having a collection of old muscle cars.
...luv the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler at the 1:29 mk - what a vintage condition gem~!
He's really taking great care of those cars!
I GOT CHILLS ... THEYRE MULTIPLYINGGGG AND IM LOOOOOSSSSING CONTROLLL
Man I hate it when people just leave cars sitting for so long! This guy needs to get these cars back on the road!
i love to see cars that are untouched like this just hate too see that they cant go find a true home where they can be truly loved taken care of and driven like they deserve to be
You found a treasure all those are pretty nice cars i wish they were mine.
WOW !! What a treasure ! I would love to see these cars in person. I'd wash them up for the owner just so I could sit in them.
At least they aren't stored in a crappy barn where weather can get to them......
One of my best friends who lives in Kentucky has a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, funny enough, it too was a barn find.
Klautch They are out there!
+Klautch Nice find, particularly for a Ford man. Imagine if he had found a '69 Cyclone Spoiler though! It's price is multiplied in comparison.
I want the 500 Charger Now thats a car
Cool cars. It would be nice to see them cleaned up and restored.
As a young teenager back in the '80s, I asked this speed shop owner about a White tricked-out '66 Mustang GT he had. First words out of his mouth? "Naaat for sale!!!!" "and if it was? TEN GRAND!!" So rude. About five years later, I had the last laugh however; his wife and daughter somehow found my house (probably all the classic cars), and offered that (very!) car to me for only $3500. I was busy with other cars, so had to politely decline ;) It's funny how things turn around if you just give it time...
I know some people with cars like those and they made sure to restore them. We take them out all the time and stretch their legs like crazy:) nice find man! hope those cars get running soon. i know a place like that that has a bunch of rare mopars that i have to keep secret.
I'd love the Ford Talladega and the Mercury myself.
I recognize your voice. You Mopar specialist! I was directed here by a newer article talking about the find......they didn't mention that it was 7 years ago
That's interesting, yeah I've had a bunch of updates on the main page about this place.
Thank You! Made my evening :)
awesome video
thanks for sharing.
Good god.., take that Vega and put a big block in it.. sleeper! lol
Thanks for shareing
Wow what a crazy collection! I would love to have any one of those beauties, Talladega, Cyclone and The Bird would be the 3 I'd have to think hard about. The Bird is a big money car restored but the Ford's are cool too 🚗💨
I just have NO respect for folks who let such legends rust away.
Either restore them or GIVE them to someone who will. pffft
mark rylander he means sell them when he says “give them to someone”, the guy could at least sell some to have money to restore the others or have them restored by someone else so he can still have the fun of driving and owning a some of them so he didn’t just wast all that time he spent trying to keep them in that shape for 40 plus years
Only 140 of the '69 Dodge Charger 500 with 440 were produced. Hope this guy gets on it soon.
I like to see the tunnel ram small block Arrow. Glidden ran one in P/S. He was the only guy able to get it to go straight!
Awesome collection.... the thing with these cars is, it costs more to restore them than what you'd get out of them, so it make sense to leave them as is. These MAY be different as they seem to have been there for quite some time and probably still have a lot of good parts.
I have restored one or two muscle cars at a time since the late 70's Put them all back on the road since I was 18th years old. MOPAR, FOMOCO, Pontiacs, Hurst/Olds, AMC, Chevy's. I given so many car lovers a chance at buying them from me restored. Never made a living at it just love seeing good old American iron back on the road. I'm 61 years old now never hoarded not one car to let it rot like that. Unfortunately I'm to tired to save any more. Out of the last two I'm restoring I will probably sell one and keep my 1969 hugger orange Z/28 until I'm to old to drive. I know a few people like this guy. They rather say they have one till the day it rots to dust before they let you save it. Its a mental issue most of the time.
Thankfully he is actually doing stuff with his cars.
This would drive me Crazy!
dude's got a cool stash. Thanks to you for sharing it, and thanks to the fellow who owns them for allowing you to share. Despite what all of the apartment dwelling, armchair sitting, internet shit talking individuals have to say...this cat is the reason any of the cool old iron exists. More power to him.
Sorry, these cars are not for sale.
Long story short, he wanted to be in the Aero Warriors car club.... so he bought one of each car.
Hey Ryan - I see above that these cars are not for sale. My boss is a MOPAR collector, and he honestly has the 1st and 2nd Charger 500 off the assembly line. He is wondering if you had a contact name or phone number for this guy? Any help is greatly appreciated. He also has an original super bird and super bee - Both wing cars. Let me know if you can help. Thanks!
chevyguylt1 Hey sir. Unfortunately nothing is for sale. It is great that your boss is a Mopar guy with a pretty sweet collection. There are plenty of cool Aero Cars out there.
They aren't dying. They look dirty and dusty, but are actually in decent shape.
no dude...they are dying. you leave a car to sit and not drive it. it wont last long.
That superbird needs to be on the road!
Wow, it's like discovering King Tut's tomb.
"Holy fucking shit." My legit reaction to this video. Man, I'd probably have a heart attack if I were to come across a collection such as this.
I was pretty close!
It is not a collection it is a HOARD... there is a difference...these are owned by a sick person with "Someday I'll get to them...." and he dies and they are still there and his widow or son or daughter will call a junk yard and guess what happens to them????? junked because they are just junk cars to the junk man...
The owner and his family are all gear heads. I am not worried about that.
Ryan Brutt That does not mean they will find nw homes...They may just continue the hoard and the cars will continue to rot, or if the place has to be sold per will they still may be sold off or go to the junk man..You Tube is full of situations just like this and not only just cars, but trucks tractors equiptment and just junk...it is a disease ! ! !
Holy cow! Great collection.
Mercury Cyclone Spoiler looks like all it needs is a good washing and waxing you don't see many of them cars, I am guessing a 1968 or 69 model year? Car was popular in Nascar with the Wood Brothers and Cale Yarborough driving?
Cool there's a morris minor among all these classic muscle cars......:):)
apart from what these cars are worth in dollars,I love this guy for conserving heritage
Mouth watering treasures :-) if only.
Wow thats a great collection!!
damn that superbird and 440 charger look so awesome
Man I want that superbird, looks really good for being in a barn for 30+ years
You're showing us the final resting places of these fine automobiles
Gee, and I thought my garage was messy!! lol
aw damn i hope that they get restored atleast to drive n enjoy them theres alot of unique muscle cars here👍🏻
I would love to have that 66 Dodge with the Hemi!
That car sold online a few years ago sadly.
It's probably barn-find cars that were mostly saved, like from being out in the elements, accidents, half-tailed alterations, etc. Like the "pyramids" housed relics tombs and treasures. I would believe that the hoarders are more the "un-selfish" ones saving a bit of history for "future" generations to leave out in the weather, crash, and alter.
I want that SuperBird like no one's business.
Good luck both of you... :P
Hoarders suck but when they die their stuff is sold anyway thanks for 40 years of free storage!
ecky1965
It is, and it's called hoarding. And it is the most difficult condition to treat, as hoarders (unlike OCD folks) do not think they have a problem. When you show interest in cars like this, it tends to bootstrap the behavior.
"Gee," they think, "everyone wants to know if I want to sell all the junked cars in my yard!" - confusing interest with value. Half the time the neighbors are asking only because they want the mess cleaned up.
I knew a guy like this with 50 old BMWs in his yard. He claimed they were "significant cars" but they lay out in the weather deteriorating. He fought constantly with County zoning and the neighbors. At the BMW meets, he would drive his wife's old Subaru- because none of his "collector cars" ever ran.
I told him, "Hey, why not sell all these cars, and use the money to restore ONE of them for your own use? The cars would go to good homes and be taken care of, and you'd have a nice ride!"
But you see, then no one would be constantly asking him about his hoard of old cars. And that's no fun, for a hoarder.
The only thing you can do with a hoarder is walk away or wait for them to die. Seriously.
ecky1965
His widow will sell them for their actual value, after he dies - and someone will restore them then! So hoarders do have a use, when they're dead.
I bought a 67 firebird 400 in 69 with my VietNam pay run it few yrs missed 1st gear shift 7000rpm rings came out oil pan built 427bbc tunnel rammed 5.38gr 10 sec mofo..got married sold eng added 396 parked 22yrs under cotton wood tree..just my old car. Traded for 36 fd coupe..cked values the bird worth 10x ford..took it back...now been stripped to paint in 96 all new parts needed inside car.+ 496 bbc on stand .going on 19 yrs now. tripping over it in my garage. maybe take 2 weeks to reassemble Some Day....it happens. ;-) id give those cars owner $100 just to hang around and look at those cars for a few hours..fantastic save..thank you sir.
It hurts just to see these beautiful machine just rodding away especially that superbird
someone needs to restore all those beauties
He's starting on them now.
I would love to have all of these cars lol .. I'm a kid and these are my favorite cars lol
the superbird is the best one there it's also my favourite
amazing how a simple 50 dollar car cover could have saved so many cars exposed to the weather.
Only true collectors understand the passion behind someone who collects up cars and stores them. Everyone else that slams these people haven't a clue what true love of cars is. Spinners would be a good example--passionless people who are all about the money and nothing about the cars. The number of bottom feeders in car collecting has grown exponentially in recent years--don't leave your garage door open anymore folks....
I would so buy that superbird!!! I would take care of her so good!
With a lot of these cars having a bunch of crap piled on them and uncovered, it's really hard to say they are protected, unless you count the thick layer of dust. Sad really, I hope he can restore them or at least decide that it would be better to let some of them go so that someone else can fix them.
BEST car THERE,is that Vega shown right in the beginning there!!! Lol.
amazing ... thanks for sharing
insane barn find!!
I swear to God that there are more Hemi cars out there than were ever made . Seems like 4x the number . All owners swear they are original . People that weren't around then understand how rare seeing a real Hemi car was . They weren't everywhere as some believe now .
They'll see the light of day one day... When the barn collapses lmao!!!
incredible finds
Anyone else adding up the grand total auction amount?, I'd say without the mini cars and vega there's about 1-2million[depending on #'s matching , vin codes] sitting around. Hope their is every typeof homeowners on that barn.
