Honestly, I don't normally skip the sponsor spots in a youtube video, but sometimes they drag on so long I almost click away from the video rather than skip it. Seeing a bar to know how long it will last makes it more bearable.
Itd be a lot cooler of i didnt have to pay for youtube red and still watch adds... but i guess money is more important to youtubers than not irritating their audience.
@@ilikebigbucksandicannotlie know a plumber who has saved enough to own a restaurant - building cost and all. The amount of bank you make from plumbing in places like the us are insane
Back in the days teachers had very high salaries and would get big houses for free from the schools, and the said plumbers were actually plumbing companies owners and thieves.
No mention of the Bugatti Royale hidden away in the paris sewers to hide it from the Nazis in WWII? The Citroen 2CV prototypes? Bugatti in the lake? There are so many crazy pre-war stories that should make a part 2!
The Gestapo actually declared Citroen President Pierre Jules Boulanger an enemy of the Reich for refusing to cooperate and give up any information on the 2CV project. Fortunately the Michelin family, who owned Citroen at the time, had enough influence with the Viche government to keep him from being deported for trial in Germany.
Chad Kensington butthurt teenagers will say it was ass before even playing it, but if you’re willing to keep an open mind and/or played with LEGO as a kid, it’s a great little pack to race around in. And the Indianapolis-style track makes it a must-have.
For real, my father had a 1955 300 SL gullwing that was one of twelve built for the Mercedes racing team. He took it to the NC highway patrol, and the comment was made, "We don't have anything that'll catch it." One year after he sold it, it was declared a classic. He kicked himself for the rest of his life.
If anyone wants to know what the other Cobra Daytonas are up to, they’re doing what they were born to do. They’re currently racing! The masters historic racing series uses I think 3 or 4 of them. I watched them being absolutely thrashed around the Silverstone circuit at the 2021 British Grand Prix weekend as one of the many support series for the F1 race that weekend. They came first and second in the first race, and both spun off on final lap after an intense race for the lead in the 2nd race! Very loud, very fast and very beautiful cars. Glad to see them being driven round famous, historic tracks to their absolute limit. It’s what they are made to do. Not sitting in a museum and occasionally parading around a field.
Someone else in the comments gave the story, TL;DR after she sold the car she willed the money to her mother and then lit herself on fire, I'm thinking suicide attempt.
I do think that at least some examples of classics should be stored and driven only in the most special occasions. Imagine a world in which no 300SL has been kept immaculate and kids would only hear about the car from their grandparents. We gotta preserve at least some of them and the rest should be enjoyed by whoever bought them.
my grandfather owns a barn and he stores a DeLorean inside of it. I am going to "discover" the car in a few years if he doesn't sell it edit: he put it in a heated garage for better storage, looks like I'll never discover it later on
One of the most famous barn finds was a Tucker 48 in Georgia I believe, can't imagine what it must feel like to discover something that rare caked in dust for 50 years.
For any of you guys in the UK Look in your barns too, there's tons of old Jaguars dug out all the time that if you fix them up they can be worth lots of money
Prob is that I live in Dubai and to fix a let's say Koenigsegg regera you'll need to send it to Europe or us but emission won't let you and import age also old supers like 09 Aventador or Gallardo need to be exported and in here you need an Emirati visa which requires a Emirati ID which is taken from the royal court and needs years for foreigners And we use only Nissan and Toyota so fixing them is hard Sorry

One of the coolest barn finds I know about was a 60's Ford Country Squire that was shown on the Barn Find Hunter series on Hagerty. It was a 1 of 1 big block with 4 speed manual. There is literally nothing else like it.
My Grandfathers got a 70 Nova SS all original sitting in his shed. and a 64 or 65 Mustang convertible in the barn that doesn't run. Hes never driven the Nova after 10+ years of fixing it up
Back in the late 70s my dad read a newpaper ad for a "Plymouth Cuda- $2,500". He knew there was no way that someone was selling a Hemi Cuda for that little, and must've been someone who was too proud of their off-the-shelf Barracuda (which isn't nearly the same car). He went to look and was greeted by a woman who explained that her son had died in the Vietnam war, and was selling the car that he had left behind, not knowing anything about the car other than it's nameplate. They went to look at the car and it was in their shed, underneath a tarp, covered in boxes of empty mason jars. When he pulled back the tarp, revealing the shaker hood, he knew that it really was a 440 hemi cuda, and Immediately called his brother to get the trailer. He didn't even want to leave the property and risk someone else taking his deal. He shook her hand, said "sorry about your son", and went home with his new prize. I feel like this must've happened often with many of the young men didn't make it home from that war. I don't remember if he sold or traded the car, but he had it for less than a year. He tells that story with a very obvious grudge against his former self. He always ends it with "If I had known then what I know now..."
Plymouth Cuda was the best classic muscle car of all time. You got so lucky with that, and the 440 is super rare too, I've head of alot more people with the 426.
well i have a 86 gmc c10 shortbox with a datsun 4cyl in it if that counts? my grandpa built it wayyy back just because his friend said he couldn’t get 50+mpg in a truck, and now years later it’s been passed on to me to restore!
lol this is the cnn article I found giving not much more insight... The Daytona soon landed in the hands of eccentric music producer Phil Spector, 26 years old at the time. He scribbled the car's records with house paint on the doors -- ridiculously exaggerating them -- and started driving it around Los Angeles. This wasn't the first time the car was seen outside a track, as Shelby himself did several test runs in Marina del Rey with a manufacturer's plate. But lightning quick as it was, it cost Spector so many tickets that his lawyer eventually suggested he get rid of it. Added to that, it was far from a smooth ride and became hot as hell after just a few miles. This was no Sunset strip cruiser, but an angry thoroughbred racer, after all. Spector wanted to fix these issues, but the cost was so high that he was allegedly offered to scrap it for $800 instead. Luckily he knew better, and sold it to his bodyguard, George Brand, for $1,000. Brand gave the car to his daughter, Donna O'Hara, who then did the unthinkable -- she hid it away in a California storage unit. Hidden treasure Precisely as to why O'Hara made the conscious decision to just store the Daytona, dutifully paying the rent every month for 30 years, nobody knows. Over the years, interest mounted around the car and she received several offers for it, but always refused. "She would rebuff anybody who presented themselves as interested in the car," said Simeone. Carroll Shelby himself went to see the car, but she wouldn't even open her door for him Fred Simeone "Carroll Shelby himself went to visit her to see the car, and she wouldn't even open her screen door to talk to him. It was widely known she had it, but it was also widely known that you couldn't communicate with her... people had given up going for it." "A very realistic offer" As a result, the CSX2287 remained untouched from 1971 to 2001. 01/26 The car in its current condition. Credit: courtesy simeone museum/michael furman With the help of a lawyer, Martin Eyears, car collector and retired neurosurgeon Frederick Simeone finally managed to convince Donna O'Hara to sell him the car, for an amount he'd rather not disclose, but believed to be around $4 million. "It was persistence and timing, the right place at the right time that produced the sale, and a very realistic offer," he says. In 2008, he founded the Simeone Automotive Museum in his native Philadelphia, where the car now sits among 65 other classic racers. "My criteria for collection are a significant history, original condition, American origin whenever possible, and beauty. At the time of purchase, in 2001, the only car that I didn't have that fit all those criteria was the Cobra Daytona Coupe, so I really wanted it very badly," he says. What happened next is the darkest part of the story -- "I hate to tell it, this is a happy story and the bottom of it is a downer. She [O'Hara] willed the proceeds of the sale to her mother and then set herself on fire. That was after the deal had been done
MotorTrend had a short series called "AutoBiographies", where two car geeks research and find out all sorts of crazy stuff and come up with theories about how famous car mysteries transpired. They do one on the Buried Ferrari Dino, and they actually reach out to the son of the dude who originally bought the car. Lots of information in that video that made me doubt that he was involved in the robbery. As always, great content guys!
Like the car wasn't for his Wife, He was a plummer but also owned a lot of property and had NO issue paying for the car, and the police informant was a CAR THIEF and saw the car on the street and boosted it on his own. Great show!
My dad has done estate cleanouts and antique autions of complete estates for well over 55 years since hes been 16, and the things ive encountered growing up at some estates, that ive had to watch sell for hundreds of dollars because i was Too young to buy them and flip or fix, truly used to eat away at me when i started getting heavy in cars. Although the historical preservation aspect, and the amount of vehicles that people bought cheap and saved from rotting to dirt in those collapsed barns and garages, makes all the regret feel less bad.
My first car was a red 1967 Ford Mustang that had been forgotten in a barn. The owners didn’t know anything about it. To them It was just a dusty old car in their barn next to a bunch of farm equipment. My dad bought it and we spent about two years cleaning it up from all the dirt and dust. It was a great experience and a fun car to drive.
Me and my dad found a 1974 pantera gts in a barn in Alabama with only 124 miles on it and once we cleaned it all up it had no dents or scratches on any of the body work and the frame was just a little rusty... once we fixed that We sold it for almost 300k
Charles Keast in the 70s In Alabama there was no title... I had to bring it to the DMV here in Florida to get a new title for it before I could get it registered. It did have a bill of sale in the glove box tho.
@@tunturimies84 nothing Euro, 1969 Acadian drag car, basically a Canadian Nova.

Reminds me of someone I used to know. Their grandfather was a pretty bad hoarder, who even held onto his cars throughout the years. There's a '48 DeSoto in the garage covered in trash and a '76 Plymouth in the driveway sunk in the ground up to the rockers. Neither car had ran in decades. Sure enough, he says he's going to fix them, so not for sale, and his immediate successor seem to follow the same hoarding trend sadly...
I agree. The feel of finding and opening up all the barns in every Forza game is soo much fun. I like to keep most of the cars stock, and one of my favorite cars (the Toyota t-100 Baja truck) is a barn find
My family has a tradition of getting a car after Graduation. When I was a freshman in high school, I went along with my dad to one of his friends house. They were talking cars , and being a nosy kid I ventured off to the back of the property, underneath a tree sat a beautiful Porsche, even though it had weeds growing up from every opening, car parts on the inside, and covered in probably twenty years of dirt... it was amazing to actually see one in person, especially since I’d been a Porsche freak since I was 7. I began asking my dad if he could buy it and keep it until I graduated, unfortunately his friend didn’t want to sell it... the car was a 1959 Porsche 356 1600 GS Carrera....
Hey, me too! I've spent last few days trying to start mine-one of the plug boots stayed put and then broke up! I've been getting bits out every day (it's progress, I suppose!)
I found a 1970s chevy chevell in the patking lot in NY state. Shes sitting there rotting with mother nature. Also i found a 1970s nissan datsun in my local junkyard. 😭
There are so many rusting JDMs in Japan. Found a rusting r32 outside a barn with knobby tires and a smashed windshield. As far as I know, it's been sitting there for years!
As long as there are cars to find and barns or barn like structures (hell, or really anywhere) for them to be hidden away or abandoned in/at I'm sure of it.
I know of a few barns that are beyond packed with cars that have been inside there over 50 years . I was ten years old when I stumbled across them , owner of garage showed me a bit . Unbelievable the collection he had , and his sons added barns and cars.
@@atomicmillenial9728 report it to the police so that way they can track the next owner of the family car to own it, then if no one owns the car, the car is going to either be put at an impound lot where you can buy it
My grandpa had an Old Ford Escort, it was a 5 speed and was brought over from Germany, i forget the significance as I'm a JDM girl but I heard it was pretty rare
That barn can be found. 200 rare cars suffering and deteriorating is a shame. There are plenty of people who would gladly pay the man and treat the cars right.
You Portuguese car nuts should all come together and storm remote locations in Portugal to find it. Then again, the best hiding spot is one in plain sight.
To be completely honest, most of these realistic barn find are the kind off the same barn finds from Forza Horizon, The SLS, The M1, The Miura, and the Shelby are same barn finds from Horizon 1.
I've been told by an old head in my area at a local car wash. He tells me that gullwings were prominent in my area up until the late 1960's early 70's. He promises me that there are at least three still sitting in some lucky owner's garage's within our two towns. That alone fascinated the hell out of me. & will surely be on the look out for them. As I am a current owner of the fourth gen R129.
@@markjohnson8782 what an amazing grandfather you are. My grandpa loved cars, didn’t leave me any haha, but he got me into cars. I miss him and will always remember him, happy that you can do that for your grandson
There’s an elderly gentleman that fills his 300SL Gullwing with leaded fuel at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, TX. Last time I went racing an HPDE there I saw him and was just raving about it. Gave the guy a chuckle 😅
If I remember right, metal sodering is a thing, and this is an actual use case. It's like a weld, but a bit less permanent as less heat than a cutting torch is needed to open it back up, and it can also be resealed easily.
I have found 4 cars in barns, an 85 rx7, 88 rx7, 72 260z, and a 97 chevy truck. All just abandoned. All had clear titles. The 85 rx7 had receipts with mileage and a freshly rebuilt 10yr old engine that started right up.

Plymouth Cuda was the best classic muscle car of all time. You got so lucky with that, and the 440 is super rare too, I've head of alot more people with the 426.
Datsun 240Z's are some interesting cars once you start working on one you will want to drive one forever😂❤
I'm one of the dead drivers. Even Akio is with me in heaven. Tatsuya Shima had a failed surgery on his broken head
@@IntellectualHazard lol noice
well i have a 86 gmc c10 shortbox with a datsun 4cyl in it if that counts? my grandpa built it wayyy back just because his friend said he couldn’t get 50+mpg in a truck, and now years later it’s been passed on to me to restore!
@@fireplaceninja thats actually really cool
They're really fun to drive honestly
You never explained about her lighting herself on fire...
Yes i was waiting for that also
lol this is the cnn article I found giving not much more insight...
The Daytona soon landed in the hands of eccentric music producer Phil Spector, 26 years old at the time. He scribbled the car's records with house paint on the doors -- ridiculously exaggerating them -- and started driving it around Los Angeles.
This wasn't the first time the car was seen outside a track, as Shelby himself did several test runs in Marina del Rey with a manufacturer's plate.
But lightning quick as it was, it cost Spector so many tickets that his lawyer eventually suggested he get rid of it. Added to that, it was far from a smooth ride and became hot as hell after just a few miles.
This was no Sunset strip cruiser, but an angry thoroughbred racer, after all.
Spector wanted to fix these issues, but the cost was so high that he was allegedly offered to scrap it for $800 instead. Luckily he knew better, and sold it to his bodyguard, George Brand, for $1,000.
Brand gave the car to his daughter, Donna O'Hara, who then did the unthinkable -- she hid it away in a California storage unit.
Hidden treasure
Precisely as to why O'Hara made the conscious decision to just store the Daytona, dutifully paying the rent every month for 30 years, nobody knows.
Over the years, interest mounted around the car and she received several offers for it, but always refused. "She would rebuff anybody who presented themselves as interested in the car," said Simeone.
Carroll Shelby himself went to see the car, but she wouldn't even open her door for him
Fred Simeone
"Carroll Shelby himself went to visit her to see the car, and she wouldn't even open her screen door to talk to him. It was widely known she had it, but it was also widely known that you couldn't communicate with her... people had given up going for it."
"A very realistic offer"
As a result, the CSX2287 remained untouched from 1971 to 2001.

With the help of a lawyer, Martin Eyears, car collector and retired neurosurgeon Frederick Simeone finally managed to convince Donna O'Hara to sell him the car, for an amount he'd rather not disclose, but believed to be around $4 million.
"It was persistence and timing, the right place at the right time that produced the sale, and a very realistic offer," he says.
In 2008, he founded the Simeone Automotive Museum in his native Philadelphia, where the car now sits among 65 other classic racers.
"My criteria for collection are a significant history, original condition, American origin whenever possible, and beauty. At the time of purchase, in 2001, the only car that I didn't have that fit all those criteria was the Cobra Daytona Coupe, so I really wanted it very badly," he says.
What happened next is the darkest part of the story -- "I hate to tell it, this is a happy story and the bottom of it is a downer. She [O'Hara] willed the proceeds of the sale to her mother and then set herself on fire. That was after the deal had been done
Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch dang i read all that and it’s cool to me because i used to live in la habra
@@ДжонПартлов well... That is... Quite an end to that.
Fuck her. I hope someone steals it from the museum and drives the piss out of it..
MotorTrend had a short series called "AutoBiographies", where two car geeks research and find out all sorts of crazy stuff and come up with theories about how famous car mysteries transpired. They do one on the Buried Ferrari Dino, and they actually reach out to the son of the dude who originally bought the car. Lots of information in that video that made me doubt that he was involved in the robbery. As always, great content guys!
Like the car wasn't for his Wife, He was a plummer but also owned a lot of property and had NO issue paying for the car, and the police informant was a CAR THIEF and saw the car on the street and boosted it on his own. Great show!
"go say hi to your grandpa tell him you love him" lol
The m1 in South Italy was of the MAFIA that's why it wasn't registered
Yeah, some things just disappear forever and you never see it again. Just like James’ dad...
Sponsor progress bar is much appreciated!
I'm another one who paused watching just to say this. Thanks!
My dad has done estate cleanouts and antique autions of complete estates for well over 55 years since hes been 16, and the things ive encountered growing up at some estates, that ive had to watch sell for hundreds of dollars because i was Too young to buy them and flip or fix, truly used to eat away at me when i started getting heavy in cars. Although the historical preservation aspect, and the amount of vehicles that people bought cheap and saved from rotting to dirt in those collapsed barns and garages, makes all the regret feel less bad.
My first car was a red 1967 Ford Mustang that had been forgotten in a barn. The owners didn’t know anything about it. To them It was just a dusty old car in their barn next to a bunch of farm equipment. My dad bought it and we spent about two years cleaning it up from all the dirt and dust. It was a great experience and a fun car to drive.
I am a simple man,
*I see Wangan Midnight Legendary S30Z*
I click
*Akuma no Zeto*
Agreed
You are legendary for recognizing it straight away
Yesssssss mate that’s the juice
But the og one was a Z31 300ZX, not a S30
Best looking car ever
Me and my dad found a 1974 pantera gts in a barn in Alabama with only 124 miles on it and once we cleaned it all up it had no dents or scratches on any of the body work and the frame was just a little rusty... once we fixed that We sold it for almost 300k
How did you get title
Charles Keast in the 70s In Alabama there was no title... I had to bring it to the DMV here in Florida to get a new title for it before I could get it registered. It did have a bill of sale in the glove box tho.
r/thathappened
If I want to see cars that haven't seen the road in 20+ years, all I have to do is go out to my garage 😞
What do you have there?
@@tunturimies84 nothing Euro, 1969 Acadian drag car, basically a Canadian Nova. A Charlies Angles looking '78 Mustang Ghia, still original family owned, I parked in the early 90's when the odometer hit 100K. 1969 c10 panel truck, I started working on it a few years ago, sick of working on it I'm going to sell it.
@@GIZZMOTORSPORTS Aight
Thats my dads driveway... We have a really hard time getting rid of cars here so they keep piling up :D
Reminds me of someone I used to know. Their grandfather was a pretty bad hoarder, who even held onto his cars throughout the years. There's a '48 DeSoto in the garage covered in trash and a '76 Plymouth in the driveway sunk in the ground up to the rockers. Neither car had ran in decades. Sure enough, he says he's going to fix them, so not for sale, and his immediate successor seem to follow the same hoarding trend sadly...
I agree. The feel of finding and opening up all the barns in every Forza game is soo much fun. I like to keep most of the cars stock, and one of my favorite cars (the Toyota t-100 Baja truck) is a barn find
My family has a tradition of getting a car after Graduation. When I was a freshman in high school, I went along with my dad to one of his friends house. They were talking cars , and being a nosy kid I ventured off to the back of the property, underneath a tree sat a beautiful Porsche, even though it had weeds growing up from every opening, car parts on the inside, and covered in probably twenty years of dirt... it was amazing to actually see one in person, especially since I’d been a Porsche freak since I was 7. I began asking my dad if he could buy it and keep it until I graduated, unfortunately his friend didn’t want to sell it... the car was a 1959 Porsche 356 1600 GS Carrera....
I found a 1969 chevy impala with a Ford 427 racing block in it. It was sticking up in the ground and halfway buried in the ground.
Did you dig it up?
You talking about Carhenge?
my mr2 has been in the garage over ten years now waiting for me to finish the engine swap. someday it'll be someone's barn find XD
Gimmi it •́ ‿ ,•̀

Hey, me too! I've spent last few days trying to start mine-one of the plug boots stayed put and then broke up! I've been getting bits out every day (it's progress, I suppose!)
I found a 1970s chevy chevell in the patking lot in NY state. Shes sitting there rotting with mother nature. Also i found a 1970s nissan datsun in my local junkyard. 😭
@Chad Kensington i undetstand that pain
There are so many rusting JDMs in Japan. Found a rusting r32 outside a barn with knobby tires and a smashed windshield. As far as I know, it's been sitting there for years!

Where is it?
From Florida, lived here 21 of my 23 years alive, still haven't gotten use to the humidity.
I found a '65 Mustang GT in a customer's shed when I came to pickup their lawn mower a week or so ago.
Dope video, guys. I can't get enough of these barn finds. You think a barn find will even be a thing in 20-30 years?
As long as there are cars to find and barns or barn like structures (hell, or really anywhere) for them to be hidden away or abandoned in/at I'm sure of it.
My grandpa has a 1954 chevy bel air two door in his garage. He is currently working in restoring it. Its a little dusty, but not very rusty at all.
I know of a few barns that are beyond packed with cars that have been inside there over 50 years . I was ten years old when I stumbled across them , owner of garage showed me a bit . Unbelievable the collection he had , and his sons added barns and cars.
Imagine being lost in the woods and coming across a old wooden barn and there being a 1977 Plymouth ready to go

Abandoned Red spitfire in a barn by Delano CA convertible last time I saw it was 5 years ago visited it 3 times prior and it was still there

@@RosalieValentineCHENG lol its not mine thooo ive wanted to
Report it to therr police first? Then try to buy it out if no one responds
@@RosalieValentineCHENG What the hell are the cops going to do? They can't just steal a car out of someone's barn.
@@atomicmillenial9728 report it to the police so that way they can track the next owner of the family car to own it, then if no one owns the car, the car is going to either be put at an impound lot where you can buy it
My grandpa had an Old Ford Escort, it was a 5 speed and was brought over from Germany, i forget the significance as I'm a JDM girl but I heard it was pretty rare
5:11 Wow that looks like a Delorean
That barn can be found. 200 rare cars suffering and deteriorating is a shame. There are plenty of people who would gladly pay the man and treat the cars right.
True! And in my own country. I had never heard of it... Must find it!
You Portuguese car nuts should all come together and storm remote locations in Portugal to find it. Then again, the best hiding spot is one in plain sight.

The first Forza Horizon had the BMW M1 as a barn find too.
Oh yeah. 🤔

To be completely honest, most of these realistic barn find are the kind off the same barn finds from Forza Horizon, The SLS, The M1, The Miura, and the Shelby are same barn finds from Horizon 1.
@CGTS 457 and every Forza game since Motorsport 2
@Joe Neri personally I think the FH1 barn finds were the most interesting, I always used to keep them stock
@Speedy Racer 4 thanks for checking out my channel, the senna is actually more forgotten then you might think, I rarely see them in ranked adventure
i want another one on this topic, i love it to bits!
I've been told by an old head in my area at a local car wash. He tells me that gullwings were prominent in my area up until the late 1960's early 70's. He promises me that there are at least three still sitting in some lucky owner's garage's within our two towns. That alone fascinated the hell out of me. & will surely be on the look out for them. As I am a current owner of the fourth gen R129.
I only watched this because of the Z car in the thumbnail. You click baited me.
how dare they !
same reason for me too, darn you nolan

There’s an elderly gentleman that fills his 300SL Gullwing with leaded fuel at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson, TX. Last time I went racing an HPDE there I saw him and was just raving about it. Gave the guy a chuckle 😅
That green on the Dino is A M A Z I N G!
I'm pretty sure that door was welded and not soldered...
If I remember right, metal sodering is a thing, and this is an actual use case. It's like a weld, but a bit less permanent as less heat than a cutting torch is needed to open it back up, and it can also be resealed easily.
There is a Maserati 5000gt in Saudi Arabia for 700 riyals which is almost 250 dollars and was the only 5000gt built by Ghia

Aren’t there also just hundreds of abandoned super cars at an airport in Saudi Arabia?
