These cars look nice, but sitting like this, they are rotting from the inside out. All the never rebuilt, unrestored cars that just sit will need to be restored before being driven. 😢 Jay Leno knows this which is why he drives his cars.
@@kingofl337 Worst thing in the world for a car is to sit unused. People think they're "keeping it mint!" when in reality it's rotting. EDIT: In truth this behavior is hoarder, not protector.
@@branchandfoundry560 hate that there are collections like this everywhere that just rot away But with this guy and what he said about “The guy will get it” and having battery tenders on stuff makes me Hope there’s a chance “The guy” takes care of all these turning them over regularly and performing schedule PM on them. Fingers crossed 🤞
I like that car just cause I had a similar car ! Almost got a green 72 w 307 .. guy sold it b4 I got back 2 blocks. The kid totaled it ! Those are all 😮 nice cars
Tom, I have been watching your great stuff for years, but I have to say out loud what literally everyone in the world is thinking......you have the very best number one job in the world! Bar none, you have it! You get all this special access after decades of being the guy with the highest integrity and professionalism possible. What a great teaching moment to any young people watching and getting to see firsthand what is possible when you do the right thing. Thanks again Tom for sharing with us this amazing journey you are on. One of these days I'm going to look you up where I can thank you and shake your hand for allowing us to tag along. What a journey!
Holy cow!!! Just the tidbit of his collection we saw is amazing. OMG. Talk to Mr. Gentilozzi again please. Please. Sit him down for an hour or two and get his story. This is a racer, personality and collector we need to hear from.
@@MM-tw6cm His cars are very cool and I would like to see them too. But I would like to hear him tell stories about when he was a racer and then an team owner. He's more interesting than just his cars.
@@MM-tw6cm Yeah i agree don't get a wrong impression we love to hear cars stories but we need to see him more pointing of each of all his cars while telling all that man !!!..
I’m glad he left the straight 6 automatic in that Nova. I wouldn’t touch it. Those are so rare now. If someone would’ve got that back in the 80’s or 90’s it would’ve been engine swapped, raced, and probably crashed by now.
Paul has to be the very best guest youve ever had on the show ,Paul if your reading this whenever your in Australia your most welcome to stay here as ive got at least two dozen mates that would kill to have a beer or 28 with you ,We do a mad bbq where we cook it under the ground ,we have plenty room ,massive respect
I love hearing this guy talk about his cars! He's clearly so passionate about the story behind all of them, exactly the kind of guy you want caring for those cars.
Hey Paul, thanks for the link. Growing up with you as my best friend and eventually my best man was probably the happiest time of our lives. Racing and chasing that’s what we did. And I see you still have a very tender spot in your heart for mid 60s olds.
Paul is legendary ! - - - Tom, please do more visits w/him for all of us - - - but the best part was how Paul's wife found out about this collection! How'd he hide this from her ???
When I was a Oldsmobile mechanic at a large dealership , We rooted for Mr. Paul in the Trans - am races like crazed animals - He and his son did very well !
when he stepped in that portion - hollllly crap - i paused and looked around as much as i could at the engines- man- that is an episode alone for the engines (maybe extended episode !) :)
Anything made by Cosworth is instantly cool. They have the most race wins of any other engine in F1, the DFV has figures that are still impressive today. They made a bunch of cool rally engines going way back. They’ve helped a lot of other manufacturers with their own engines and they make a few really cool V12’s that rev past 12,000 rpm for Gordon Murray and Aston Martin. They really are the world leader when it comes to cutting edge engine design and manufacturing
There needs to be a follow up to this video. So many cars that were passed over. The grwwn Mustang, the 2 different white 69 Cougars... the ones under other covers. Some of those engines. Please please please Tom Cotter, go back for round 2.
Mans is a real one. Just about everyone I know from MI, from Detroit, are the realest people I've ever met. So much respect from this CCS grad for holding it down for automotive history. Amazing video!
I love the stories behind these cars. The Red Corvette at the beginning is just phenomenal. You could do a 5-hour show with Mr Gentilozzi and it wouldnt cover all. Fantastic episode!!!
I was raised in a car family, married a mechanic and help work on cars... To see these cars just sitting there for collectors(?) purpose or for whatever reason just absolutely kills me. Wasting away to only look pretty on the outside while the heart and soul of it dies/died a slow death. An unbelievable choice one would make.
Tom, I’m going to call you the luckiest man in the world. Although I know that it isn’t really luck but hard work that you get to see so many fine and historic cars. But I am lucky to get to see them through your channel. Thanks to you and all of the collectors who allow me to see these fine cars.
@@curtg7396 I’m an old guy and have known many children of wealthy people. Many of them never achieve any level of success on their own. Success takes self motivation and focus to reach this level. And there are many successful people whose parents were poor
I'm 3 vehicles into the video and already so amazed by this collection. I love the stories and how well preserved and loved the cars are. What a nice guy and great location!
It literally broke my heart when asked "do you drive these cars?" and he responded "No". 😢 Literally the worst thing for a car is just sitting.... I can understand something ultra rare which can't be easily or ever replaced, but at least those ones should be started weekly to monthly and run through the gears in the space.... the other ones should be exercised at least monthly on the road in good weather. You need a car-caretaker to live in the cooler and exercise, start, keep clean and or, potentially show these beauties off.... me and the 2 cats are free 😅 Get these things out, let people see them, let kids see what real automobiles used to be and how damn near every year a model would be updated, not like today when it takes 5-10yrs for a car to just get a slight visual update at most.
Yeah, the cars look neat but if they have not been driven, most of them need every rubber part and seal replaced: oil seals, water pump seals, intake manifold seals, driveline seals, every rubber bushing in the suspension and mounts replaced, and every part that touches gasoline cleaned out. We are talking dozens and dozens of hours on each car. I'm both sorry and glad they're not my responsibility!
@@merlinbalke1735 it's got to be a full time job. Between cars and bikes, Jay could drive only one a day and not get thru his entire collection. It's about time for him (Jay) to do another progress update on the shop.
I think his reply to how many kinda really covered this problem "about 90 to 100" cars he has there- pack boys would have a new resume entry working there ! :)
I agree about them needing to be driven, and it’s definitely cool that a person well versed on a particular car can tell the visual differences between say a 66-67-68. But in practice I like when a car remains unchanged or updated for 15 or 20 years. Parts are usually cheap and easy to find, all the problems have been ironed out by that time, etc. I remember a friend had some kind of ‘58 Chrysler and he needed trim pieces from the junkyard. It HAD to be from a ‘58, even though ‘57 and ‘59 was a similar design the part was different. I don’t miss that
Incredible cars… there are many more that haven’t been shown or talked about and the Cougar that the camera panned over is one i’ld love a closer look at !! Love the Olds, hell love them all !!
OMG this was SUCH a fun watch, thank you both! 74 years young Paul, way to go! Watched you race when I could tune in from Canada years ago, I'm a drag race guy but LOVED to watch IMSA when I could, great to "see" you again.
I just saw a Nassau blue Camaro with white stripes under a carport covered with junk today only could see the back end not sure the year 67-69 it was in the mountains of Oregon near the coast!
Sorry to enlighten Paul, but the 68HO wasn’t the most powerful engine olds ever made, it was two olds police interceptor models that both were published at 400 hp. Having said that, the 68 ran hard, I don’t believe it’s published HP.
That 67 Olds would be my white whale. Bought a rusty 67 in 1983. 330, 3 speed. Never finished it. Broke my arm in a motorcycle accident, forced to sell it before heading off to college. Thank you for showing us these awesome examples. It would be nice to see them in a publicly accessible museum. But to each his own.
Please go back and make more videos with this guy and show more of those classic cars. I loved seeing this video, and reading the comments there are many many others who feel the same way. Thank you for sharing your find with us.
Very Very Rare for me to want to meet someone, I race a 1969 H/O. and had 4 other olds mobiles this is a gentleman that I would love to sit down and have a couple cops of coffee with. Thank you for Sharing this.
Awesome collection! Just a note about the 70 Torino Cobra. They never came with a 428 in 1970 or 1971 or a rear spoiler (maybe dealer installed?). 428's were only available in 1968 or 1969. Just saying
I caught that too. Neat car although. I'm suspect of some of the facts on his other cars. He claimed the red 442 was original untouched. It had modern high performance gauges in it.
On the 442, if I’m not mistaken a 455 is just a 400 with a larger bore, and regarding the Torino it’s still kinda crazy how many engine options they had back then, and how cheap they were. I was watching another car video showing the sticker on a 1970 Ford and the upgrade from a 351 to a 429 was only either $60 or $80. If I recall it was cheaper than the radio upgrade
Wow! What an incredible collection! And he's got the story for each one off the top of his head. Hopefully you can go back and film more of the collection!
This awesome car collection comes with an equally cool guy. This old-ish man, would love to spend some time in that old grocery store checking stuff out, even just for an hour.
Growing up in Cedar City, Utah from 1970 onwards my backyard shared a brick wall that is six feet tall (back then it seemed taller) with Doug Thorley’s mom and dad’s house. The home was always well cared for and walking past the front countless times as I grew up, the place seemed modern and expensive. They never got involved with us kids and we didn’t bother them. This is first I’ve ever heard reference to Doug’s headers. Totally cool and I’d give multiple parts of my anatomy for that car!!! Absolutely incredible!! Thanks so much for giving me a trip back in time. Don’t know whatever happed to the family home after all these years, might still have family in it. Have an awesome day and thanks again! Always, Andy
man I love this .All the guys at work talk about modern crap and I dont have smoko with them now as this is the thing I'm into .old pommy and yank tanks ,great video love it thank you for keeping dreams alive ,Glenn from New Zealand
The 67 W30 was not a dealer installed package. The air cleaner was chrome from the factory. The E block was used in 66-67 not one year only. Hard to believe this guy worked and raced for Olds.
I think Paul deserves a complete video series, there is just so much to see and chat about. That engine room, I could literally smell the oil and all things enginey lol
This was probably the best episode ever... Paul is incredible. The things he has accomplished in racing, are things I can only dream of, and his car collection is absolutely incredible, but most important, he seems very humble and down to earth. I like that he has some of everything, not everything has to be 100% original, and he has stories for a lot of the cars. The Torino has so many cords going underneath of it, it looks like it's on life support LOL... When I saw the shiney spot on the hood, I knew immediately what happened. My best friends dad bought a brand new 1970 Cobra Jet Torino. It was white with blue interior. It had the rear window slats too, but his had the Magnum 500 wheels. Anyway, my friends sisters were going to surprise their dad and wax the black on the hood because it wasn't shiney. Needless to say, his dad was very surprised when he saw the car. It was an awesome car. It was always garaged and he hardly ever drove it, he drove his 73 F-250 pickup most of the time. Unfortunately he got MS really bad and one night the house caught on fire, and there was no way he could get it out. It was all he could do to get out of the house himself...
Awesome car collection. Please correct me if I'm wrong but at 6:27, isn't that a roll bar and not a roll cage? I thought a roll cage had bars which went to the front of the roof as well as the back. In essence, the whole roof of the car is protecting the occupants of the vehicle.
Agreed - awesome collection! I would think that anytime there's more than 1 bar, it goes from a "bar" to a "cage." It's just that not all roll cages are created equal. More is required with more speed. That car isn't going to get to 200 MPH so it doesn't need the full cage they put into drag and drive cars.
Some great cars, as an English man who worked for Jaguar for many years its made my day that Paul is the very 1st American to say Jaguar correctly its pronounced JAG U R not how everyone in North America says JAGWHARR.
@@BigblkKidWhile fender louvers were only in 1969 and 1970, they were not on all 1969-70 Novas. Only standard on upper trims or in exterior decor optioned cars. Many low trim 1969-70 Novas don’t have fender louvers.
The red Nova at 11:45 is a 1970, not a 69. 70-72 style marker lights and 70 steering wheel horn shroud with the Pebble grain, not the Madrid as 69 would have.
I appreciate that this barn find is at least safe and protected from the elements. Most of these finds are just rotting into the ground. I always wonder why people would just leave cars rotting that way.
I remember watching Paul road race on TV! I always liked him. I didn't know he was from Michigan. That collection is sooo neat! Please go through the rest of them at some point.

Sad but 100% what we’d expect from boomers
"Half a dozen to 6 years" aren't they the same? @20:58
I love the fact Paul has all these cool cars, I hate that the ones that are drivable are not driven, there is a lot of joy being missed.
((TOM)) Take him up on driving these. If you could do video like Mr. Leno; all the better.
Thanks to Paul and Hagerty for showing.
These cars look nice, but sitting like this, they are rotting from the inside out. All the never rebuilt, unrestored cars that just sit will need to be restored before being driven. 😢

Man we need another video or 2 on these cars. I could set here for hours and watch this.
@@DanDan_and_the_boys my thought too
each time a car was taken out for the maintenance drive a video of the drive and of the few dozen cars surrounding it !
Love them all, could have worked on a few in my day!
They never showcase the entire collection - hence why I find these episodes so underwhelming
This is absolutely FASCINATING
Paul Gentilozzi is a real car guy. I watched him race from back in the 90’s trans am days. Not surprised this is his stash.

it's an extremely difficult job to top for sure- beer, women and speed (air-land or water) somewhere have to be included to top !
.......and this is now one of my favorites for his interviews. Paul has always been such a competitor on the track and now we see off too🤓
Man I wish I could stumble across a collection like this and just sit there for days admiring and listening to stories.
YES ! :)
You are not alone, bud.
Just drive through the crumbling towns of America and peek in the windows. I've seen some wild stuff on the side of the road.

What a gentleman Paul is. Love to see this level of passion.
not so much you know that he really ripped off that old lady
I’m glad he left the straight 6 automatic in that Nova. I wouldn’t touch it. Those are so rare now. If someone would’ve got that back in the 80’s or 90’s it would’ve been engine swapped, raced, and probably crashed by now.
When PG said he doesn't care about making a Yenko clone or that stuff, I was glad to hear it. He's not flipping cars, he's writing stories.
Thrashed, crashed and trashed.
BTW, it’s a 1970 Nova, not a 1969. The larger side marker lights started in 1970 and the clear lenses in the front bumper were unique to 1970.
I had a 68 2 door, straight 6 in 1979. I sold it for $200. I'm still kicking myself over it.
I appreciate folks who store cars correctly !!!
Level of car caretaker is off the chart !!!

His passion and energy for cars is inspiring. What a wonderful collection.
So happy he left the red Nova alone. LS swapping that would have been a sin. Such a rare car now. Nothing wrong with the straight six!
that nova story is complete bs, my buddy sold Paul the car maybe 4 years ago. Car is absolutely full of mud, definitely not all original.
Ego chasers are the most dangerous thing to a car.
Paul was a totally down to earth guy., great to see. cheers for the throwback.
Another great video..Barn Find Hunter is one of my favorite You Tube programs...
Growing up in Cedar City, Utah from 1970 onwards my backyard shared a brick wall that is six feet tall (back then it seemed taller) with Doug Thorley’s mom and dad’s house. The home was always well cared for and walking past the front countless times as I grew up, the place seemed modern and expensive. They never got involved with us kids and we didn’t bother them. This is first I’ve ever heard reference to Doug’s headers. Totally cool and I’d give multiple parts of my anatomy for that car!!! Absolutely incredible!! Thanks so much for giving me a trip back in time. Don’t know whatever happed to the family home after all these years, might still have family in it. Have an awesome day and thanks again!
Always, Andy
Definitely deserves a followup when he has more time.
man I love this .All the guys at work talk about modern crap and I dont have smoko with them now as this is the thing I'm into .old pommy and yank tanks ,great video love it thank you for keeping dreams alive ,Glenn from New Zealand
The 67 W30 was not a dealer installed package. The air cleaner was chrome from the factory. The E block was used in 66-67 not one year only. Hard to believe this guy worked and raced for Olds.
I need to find this type of grocery store! Imagine driving by it and never knowing what is hidden inside!
Heros don't always wear capes! 👍
Paul is such a nice guy and so interesting to listen to.
Man, modern cars will never be this cool to me.
@@Djoki1 I'll 2nd that 😀
Paul was a legend back in my day. I loved watching him race. This was a real treat to see him again. Thanks Hagerty 👍🏻😁
Nice collection ! Hats off
Great competitor, remember him since the 80's. Great interview! Seems lile a stand up guy, with a very heavy right foot👍
Those are the best frozen foods I’ve ever seen
I think Paul deserves a complete video series, there is just so much to see and chat about. That engine room, I could literally smell the oil and all things enginey lol
Too cool. Only knew him from TransAm race result sheets.
This was probably the best episode ever... Paul is incredible. The things he has accomplished in racing,
are things I can only dream of, and his car collection is absolutely incredible, but most important,
he seems very humble and down to earth.
I like that he has some of everything, not everything has to be 100% original, and he has stories for a lot
of the cars.
The Torino has so many cords going underneath of it, it looks like it's on life support LOL...
When I saw the shiney spot on the hood, I knew immediately what happened. My best friends dad bought
a brand new 1970 Cobra Jet Torino. It was white with blue interior. It had the rear window slats too, but his
had the Magnum 500 wheels. Anyway, my friends sisters were going to surprise their dad and wax the black
on the hood because it wasn't shiney. Needless to say, his dad was very surprised when he saw the car.
It was an awesome car. It was always garaged and he hardly ever drove it, he drove his 73 F-250 pickup
most of the time. Unfortunately he got MS really bad and one night the house caught on fire, and there
was no way he could get it out. It was all he could do to get out of the house himself...
The ford flathead has a nice exhaust note but does not have a flat plane crank.
Yeah he was off about several things. That convertible is a 51 not a 50. Unless it had the quarters modified.
Theres a hearty smile...
In every isle...
What cool stories with each car. Loved the 8track win😂
Awesome car collection. Please correct me if I'm wrong but at 6:27, isn't that a roll bar and not a roll cage? I thought a roll cage had bars which went to the front of the roof as well as the back. In essence, the whole roof of the car is protecting the occupants of the vehicle.
Agreed - awesome collection! I would think that anytime there's more than 1 bar, it goes from a "bar" to a "cage." It's just that not all roll cages are created equal. More is required with more speed. That car isn't going to get to 200 MPH so it doesn't need the full cage they put into drag and drive cars.
Some great cars, as an English man who worked for Jaguar for many years its made my day that Paul is the very 1st American to say Jaguar correctly its pronounced JAG U R not how everyone in North America says JAGWHARR.
nice to see a org. 69 nova .as most have been made into a muscle car clone of a SS ,yenko etc
It's a 70. Still super cool. Not knockin it.
@@nwnwsales4729 Glad someone else noticed, wonder why has a black SS style grille?
also, no fender louvers all 69 & 70's had them, being all original? something going on there in the front end, not bashing just observing
@@BigblkKidWhile fender louvers were only in 1969 and 1970, they were not on all 1969-70 Novas. Only standard on upper trims or in exterior decor optioned cars. Many low trim 1969-70 Novas don’t have fender louvers.
that nova story is complete bs, my buddy sold Paul the car maybe 4 years ago. Car is absolutely full of mud, definitely not all original.
Wow! What a nice guy Paul Gentilozzi is and what an absolutely fantastic collection of vehicles he has collected.
What a legend. Cool dude.
The red Nova at 11:45 is a 1970, not a 69. 70-72 style marker lights and 70 steering wheel horn shroud with the Pebble grain, not the Madrid as 69 would have.
Correct, good catch. It’s a 1970. The clear marker lenses in the front bumper is unique to 1970.
that nova story is complete bs, my buddy sold Paul the car maybe 4 years ago. Car is absolutely full of mud, definitely not all original.
I appreciate that this barn find is at least safe and protected from the elements. Most of these finds are just rotting into the ground. I always wonder why people would just leave cars rotting that way.
Oh way too much fun....thank you!
I remember watching Paul road race on TV! I always liked him. I didn't know he was from Michigan. That collection is sooo neat! Please go through the rest of them at some point.
Finally! A Barn Find episode that's not all rusting decrepit hulks under trees! Amazing collection!
You are obviously unclear on the concept. Wondering why you come here at all.
Some people are just blessed in this life, this guy being one of them.
Dude is gonna have Jay Leno begging to come take a look
Could listen to Paul in his own episode, the knowledge he has is priceless and educational
That Nova!
A beauty
Interesting and to think Route 66 will celebrate its 100 year anniversary in 2026. Maybe one of those cars will make an appearance.
Wow! Just wow!
I've seen a lot of videos of warehouses full of cars. This has to be one of the best collections I have ever seen, if not the best.
Tom , I'm hoping your going to do a second / third visit ....
This may be the best collection I've ever seen. This is some great stuff.
This is the best use of an old supermarket building 👍👍🇦🇺
Oil leak on isle 5
