Which one is your favorite?
The ones he sells that can still be restored before the barn crushes them. Lots of memories rotting away , if you've had those cars as long as he has nothing will ever be done to them till the estate auction. Sad to see.
That 64’ Tempest is sweet! Also digging that corvair
70 monte carlo
The '75 Oldsmobile Delta 88 you passed up.
'66 Plymouth Satellite
Guarantee come back 5 yrs from now and nothing will change with these cars
we all die, so they will be for sale some time in the future,
Well, he's a fixin to fix em. The daughter's car comes first while she can still drive.
You’re right. He’s getting older and will lose more interest with each passing day. The kids will inherit this stuff as is. He doesn’t look too energetic.
there will be a change,they will be more worse condition and the building will fell on them by then!!
They will be 5 years older and in even worse shape.
I understand that these are his cars and he can do as he wishes, but what a waste.
He's a good ole boy who wipes his ass with 1912 toilet paper.
Keep all the family autos and put them in a barn. Then let them rot there. Dont get it.
I wonder if they are locked up
Hate people who say their going to fix them cars someday but never do anything with them but watch the cars rot away
Get your own .
You are bullshit.
@@paulbodack440 don't be a hater.
Did you notice his age? I wonder how good his health is and just how good he feels when he wakes up in the morning. I can identify with him. I’m healthy as a rock but my muscles, etc. don’t feel as good as they did when I was 31. I’ll be 80 Aug. 2024. What I’m getting at is this. If you don’t have a team working with you - you just can’t fulfill your comment. I’m sure he’ll make future decisions to make sure all these cars are brought back to NEW. He did say his kids will be taking care of them. The cars sure do need help..
Yep, that roof didn't just collapse yesterday, so if he can't find the motivation to fix that, then the cars have zero chance.
NO tears, only Dreams now.
This old dude ain't gonna sell nothing
No, he's a hoarder.
Just sickening. Why did he invite anyone to look at this mess? So he can strut.
They gonna sit and rot
@zworm2 your comment made me spit my coffee out ! 💯 😎
Memories aren't for sale and people generally want to hold on dearly to their early memories. This collection is all memories to this man.
but they do rust its a waist.
CANT PAY FOR SENTIMENT
@@butterbean4195 waste not waist...good grief
100% hoarder; those cars will rot to the ground before he sells any of them.
Unfortunately I think you are correct.
None of them appear to be rotting. His heirs will do very well at his estate sale. The cars are preserved right now.
@@wmason1961 Oh, I see, said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw
@@wmason1961 Assuming that he will leave to his heirs. Some people leave to charity.
@@RearviewMirror-ij2pr who he leaves it to is up to him. and its worth a lot. whoever ends up with it might do very well. In the meantime the cars are safer fairly well preserved and not rotting.
About 70 years old and 30 cars he's gonna get to soon..... Never could understand it
Mike is a real story teller and loves his cars even if they 'll eventually rot in place .
The way these men talk and interact with each other is so refreshing, it shows how we can treat each other and be happy. Not to mention the sweet rides. Great video.
He’s just a good ole southern boy who enjoys sharing his memories and collection❤
He ain't selling nothing. 😂
I don't think anyone in the South ever gets rid of their family cars.
No, apparently they just sit and watch them rot.
Better than having them crushed in the 90's/2000's, Just got to wait for the estate auction 😂😂
If you can't even repair the barn that these cars are stored in, how are you ever going to restore any of these cars????
@gordson: you ain’t
He's getting to it tomorrow
Next week
Day after never

What a shame,none of these vehicles will be fixed or running anytime soon they'll be there til this man is in heaven,he could of sold all of them and enjoyed a nice life 😊.
I think by his demeanor he has had a good life rescuing family members old cars. Sounds like he has a wonderful extended family and hopefully one of his grandkids will develop a passion for vintage cars. Meanwhile it’s his personal museum.
You should be looking at the fact he saved these cars and trucks. Keeping most of them under cover.
Stop with the negative vibes man.....
What makes you think the man needs to sell the cars to "enjoy a nice life" ? Think about it. He BOUGHT those cars, trucks, tractors etc etc.
@@shanew.williams you know I was thinking in a positive way,when some get older and I do see a lot of ,they sell their hobbies and man toys and enjoy the $$ they make off them,so retirement is a good little easy on the wallet.
@robertnovotny4588 and a lot of them will hold on to what they love until they die. At that time his collection will bring a great price for his heirs.
What a waste to let those cars rot and sit instead of selling them to people with the resources and time to bring them back to life. Seen too many old guys with a lot of love for classic cars not realize they don’t have the time to restore the classics they have, so they talk and talk about doing it with their son’s or grandsons when they also might not have time or might not care. Better to sell something that can be restored than let something return to the earth as rotted iron.
Get a life.
@@Jason-eh3uj I’m sorry I don’t like cars being neglected by people who don’t realize they don’t have the ability to take care of them. I’m glad they saved them when they did, but they have to realize other people can take care of them better than letting them rot into the weeds. Me saying that doesn’t make me not have a life, it means I’m tired of people thinking they have infinity to fix a car sinking into dirt in the now.
@@notenoughmemes1847 there is always one karen on these sites and that was the guy your talking to!!
lol...in my 70s...have multiple rigs for years...none younger than 25 years old...all actually run...mainly ony 1 daily...finally sold a 66 Chevy stepside short box...I had 40+ years...2nd owner...finally realized let others enjoy...started up and drove away with just normal maintenance done...fuel lines only real issues
Captivated the hole time! I gotta hurry up and finish this one my daughters 50 birthday is coming soon. She’s been waiting for 30 years 😊😊. She patient. I hope you get to finish all those cars 😎🇺🇸
Considering the years you've owned the vehicles, you should have another 500 years to repair some of them, you're still young, no problems.
‘What’s your plan for this?’ Well, I’m just going to leave everything until it all rots and is completely worthless, but I’m going to keep talking about fixing everything up, including the barn that’s currently collapsing on everything. I’m definitely a good talker. Much better than a worker.
As soon as mike puts the interior back in that anglia and fixes up that S-10 he'll get right on those other cars. Yeah boy
Let’s be honest, he won’t work on those cars and sadly they will just sit and rot away. He should really sell them all but a few
The 50 Chevy was the only one that lookekd tome like it had some potential.
I appreciate Parker's interest and respect for the past and for the people he interviews.
This guy is like my father… none of this crap is ever going to get finished.
@@johnbates7949
He’s a little closer to being a hoarder than a collector. But I enjoy his stories
I live in the middle of nowhere central Georgia, and I can confirm that more people than not have a bunch of broken down cars or trucks on the property. I feel I’m slacking up because I don’t have any. Lol.
HI PARKER , These videos and the ones where you interview old time racers are PRICELESS.
Once these gentleman are gone , the memories are also gone...
TY
GOD BLESS CIAO
Hopeful some of these cars get sold before the rest of the barn falls down..
not likely!!
The black face doll on the porch those are collecor items as well ! He has alot of cool stuff allways awesome to see you rummage through antique items
It's a shame he let them sit there and rot, I don't believe he would ever get them running again.
At least give him credit the cars are mostly inside and not outside
Most of them were pretty well used up when they got parked in the barn.
@@markedwards9153 when the whole roof collapses,they will all be outside
Yes very true, but sometimes it is the thought that counts.
Better pick one or two to fix and pass the others on.. There's a few of us old guys would love to have just one to tinker
Time to let go and take care of your health/later years
Its heartbreaking to see people live like this and to have this later all end up in the trash/scrap yard. There is quite a bit of history here and really decent parts and cars to be reworked and brought back from the dead. I recently had an uncle who passed eho lived like this. He had cars, car parts .etc all over the damn place. All in his basement, throughout his house, his garage was filled up so badly and so unorganized, you didnt even need beams for the roof to stay up. Everything inside was piled from wall to wall to ceiling. Couldnt even walk into yhe garage it was so bad. Sadly he passed grom his fight with cancer. Everything he had....his kids knew nothing if what anything was, so they scrapped it all. It was so overwhelming for them due to his hoarding characteristic he was cursed with, they trashed it all. He had a lot of usuable parts and cars too. What astonished me is how he was able to aquitlre all that he had, with the minimum pay type job he had, and still raise a family on that, with having 6 kids to deal with. My cousing told me what they did and i was pissed that no one decides to call me. I could have helped them puck out things and label them, sell them for more than just scrap. Hell, would have been nice to get the parts i gave him 25 years ago back again, to restore them and sell them. They trashed everything. 😢
I see that at a friends family...Dad died...now mom...7 siblings...amazing cars and parts still left..only good thing I saw was a beautiful Packard that was sold off a while back...studebakers marmons etc...wide eclectic collection...older stuff..wheels with wooden spokes...non electric headlights...oh well
Sell..sell sell!!
Clean up what you can, and sell them off. Having a hoard of cars like that, in that kind of condition, and not being able to get anything done, is just a waste. This old man is hanging onto memories....i feel for the guy, i really do. But man, its time to let it all go. Pick two out of the bunch and have at it. Build a better barn/storage area, put in a lift or two, put in a paint booth...get a business going. At his age, he could own it and have people working for him. Turn cars and farm equipment like these into running pieces of art.
That yellow bellair with the red top would sell quickly.
To have the car your Dad bought new, Is really something....Very cool.
I've got my dad's left toe nails that he clipped off in 1963.
I have my stepfather's first brand new car he bought currently restoring it for the second time because I let it sit too long 65 Rambler Marlin 327 Flat omatic red and black still have the original spare
I have my grandfather's 74 Bronco he purchased new and a 63 E type jaguar roadster, lots of great childhood memories
yeah very cool, looks like his dad would be proud how he's taking car of it!!!!
@@PressedSteel1919 I forgot I have a 1982 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue he gave that to me
I love how you guys keep your families cars for posterity. I like the TR6.
That le mans convertible has to be saved.OMG what a gem.
Looks of his rv money is no object
I hate to break it to him but he’s in the same boat as me he’s got big dreams but he’s running out of time.
Yeah, He said his dad was STILL a bike dealer!! And his daughter was 50!
54 model here. Bunch of us cut from the same cloth it seems. 40' container full of motorcycles, 60' X 60' shop with more motorcycles and few cars. Finally sat down with myself and had a good talk. Me, myself, and I finally agreed it's time to clean house.
@@davidcantwell2489 Yep I’m a 1957 model I was raised in a junkyard full of 50’s 60’s but due to family issues 150 were crushed in 09 I’m clinging to another 100+ and most are stuffed full of extra pars, plus sheds full and the writing is on the wall but I’m at a loss where to start.
@@bloodybones63 Hid dad = the UA-camr's father, not the collector's. Mike is 70, and his daughter is 50.
yep tough times and call when we confront ourselves to make good decisions!
Hidden rusty dusty treasures, the stories behind them, man I love these old farm videos. Mike, you're a legend for keeping the past alive. Thank you, sir.
Thanks for taking us along. Sure was neat to see all that historic stuff.
This guy will never fix any of those cars !! All those vehicles will be in an estate sale when this guy moves on !
A lot of this stuff will get scrapped.
Parker there’s more there, I think a full day with Mike would be a compelling episode
I was a producer on "In the Heat of the Night" - love Covington, great town! Almost bought a house there>
I appreciate this guys sentiment. I'd bet in 10 years the barn will have collapsed more, and those cars will all have another layer of dust on them, and 10 years more rot. I don't know I'd do anything different, but probably. While i appreciate this guy saying he's gonna do this and that, I won't believe him, for whatever that's worth, until I see it.
These guys are a breed. Someday is their motto. He wouldn't sell anything
if his wife needed a live or die operation. He's got the 1923 left wind of a blue jay
from the Falkland Islands, but try to buy it.
Most of these vehicles have been in way more than twenty years.
The 63 Dart wagon is my favorite
I like my dodges but I really miss my 63 tempest wagon 400 turbo 400 transmission 9 inch rear corvette side pipes. Never tell your mother if she needs some money sell the car. Called after basic training to hear she sold it for 500 bucks. 😢 The rear tires were worth that. A datsun b210 that used a quart of oil between fill ups yet didn't smoke took the wagons place 😒 Fuel cost alot less 😊
You SOLD me when you identified that chassis as a 55 Chevy. That was some "goat entrails reading" right there as far as I'm concerned. Amazed.
That tells me this guy knows exactly what he's looking at he knows cars inside and out
So lucky that I clicked on this! Great history! That is a nice man!
The TR6 is super cool!!! My first car was a 1976 TR6. The bumper "over riders" were a federal mandate thing from 1974 through the final year of the TR6 in 1976. Funny, that tractor has less dust on it than the cars. Lol.
What an awful shame the barn has come down. So glad he saved the cars from the crusher but he is completely out of time. I hope he can be honest with himself…he will just NEVER be able to get to all of them. I hope he picks 3 or 4 that he loves to work on and sells the rest before it’s too late. He can use the funds from the other cars to fix the barn and the rest of the cars he keeps. To ALL collectors….PLEASE don’t leave all of your stuff behind for your family to sort out. It will look like junk to them, they will have no idea what it’s worth and will get terribly ripped off by vultures while they are grieving the loss. You don’t want that for your loved ones so please sell the things while you are healthy and able to.
Dad lived in Brooks GA for many years & while I visited many times I found so many barns, garages w/ NOS parts and some pristine autos & some junk as well. Something about Georgia I always enjoyed except for the humidity!!
Good stuff. 🇺🇸
Great mixed bag this guy has from trucks, tractors, cars etc. People will always hate but it's his property and he can do with it as he wishes. Thanks from Scotland, appreciated here.
you picked the wrong time of the year to visit Georgia . Bro it is hot and humid down here .
Can you say Hoarder?
Every old man in the world is gonna fix their cars up.
Thoroughly enjoyed the vid. I grew up on a S GA farm and every piece of equipment and auto anybody wanted to discard wound up around the farm. My Dad’s first tractor was a Farmall from the 40s is still parked on the farm. I have the oxyoke my great grandfather made in the 1800s that hung on the back of the barn my entire life and is now hanging on my porch.
My brother bought a new Chevy SS after high school but was drafted into the Army in ‘69 when I was a senior. I got to drive his car for a few months while he was in boot camp. Then he was up for tour in Vietnam and the car was sold to a neighbor. Good while it lasted, though. Before he shipped out my grandfather died and left his farm to my brother so he got out on a hardship discharge.
Sorry for such a long comment. The old gentleman just made me want to sit down on a bucket and reminisce.
None of these will move til he’s dead and buried.
Thank you. I really enjoyed this video.
True southern gentlemen there with his speach....the saying "its been there a minute" thats a classic.
Another guy with lots of plans, lots of plans,lots of plans. Failure to launch.
It's a mental illness. Seriously
Hope he didn’t drive too far to see cars that would cost more to restore than they’ll ever be worth
The "Bathroom" statement was great
The guy keeps talking in the video that he’s going to start to get some of those cars running but like one of the commentators said above nothing won’t possibly get back on the road until quite possibly he’s dead & gone & the estate sells it .
Nice tour! Thanks
Neat guest, some cool vehicles. My favorites were the wacky rear-engine tractor and the Hough Payloader. Just because I’ve never seen them before.
This poor chap had a sad story to tell on every vehicle and why he hasn’t repaired any of them. Those pieces of history will be lost. What a shame.
It isn't money he is well off , he may simply be burn out and the passion is fading
What a nice fella lots of nice cars and lots of dreams. Just running out of time.
Sad to see IMO, they will just sit there and get worse and worse, then he will die and his kids will sell what's left of them. But I know, he is going to restore them some day LOL
Another man that needs to prioritize his projects I'm guessing 5% or less end up seeing any attention 😢
It's Georgia... he probably doesn't have titles for any of the cars.
Awesome video thanks buddy…
His type of love is the kiss of DEATH for everything he's got.
Guy's like this are just hoarders. "I know what I got, not selling anything!" But they never restore or do anything with the vehicles. Just let them rot into the ground!!
In all honesty, these will be sold a few months after he passes on from this world. No one restores anything if it’s been sitting for 50 years in a dilapidated barn.
Nice collection of family heirlooms, but they won't see a wrench or anything else. I'll take the '66 Plymouth Satellite.
Interesting To see a US car guy be knowledgeable about the 105E anglia . When I was 16 i had a anglia van . And yes they are still very popular 😊
Time for all of us passes way too fast! I can see this guy had and still has dreams for these old vehicles but the clock is ticking, the dust is collecting, the rust is rusting, his body is aging and his projects will not get done in his lifetime! I think I would sell most of them and hire someone to fully restore his favorite with the proceeds so he and his wife could enjoy rides in it!!
hey HI from the D Mi 😎 hey thanks for sharing your time and video of some Amazing Old Riders 👍🤩 and I think the Gentleman in Georgia is Awesome 🤙 his.srorys and time with the NASCAR Drivers is one of the best 🎉🤩😎💖
Praise Jesus these cars were saved 🙏🇺🇸
More car hoarders letting them rot with nothing for sale
Was there anything here you'd want to buy?
@@1940limited of course not, but will still complain they are "rotting" in a barn 😩
@@Gorloxen Cars don't rot, they rust. Wood rots. I hate it when people talk about metal objects "rotting."
I never understood why any man would let vehicles like that jus rot away without doing something with them, its a sickness
no time no money? at least he saved them from the crusher.
youd be amazed at what cars are sitting around in barns and basements and most folks dont want their stuff on the internet, its just going to invite thieves .
I got some cool stuff, but it aint gonna get advertised on the internet for some tweaker to come steal.
and I aint selling them to some flipper whoes just looking for a fast profit.
my cars will rust and rot into the ground before a flipper gets them.
Great job Parker
You are great at what you do. A fantastic personality that everyone enjoys. Always look forward to your next video. Although I am in Germanton North Carolina i hope to meet you in Carlisle PA sometime. We are always under shelter in car coral spring and fall. Thanks so much
Such a shame to see those beauties rotting into the ground😢
RIP Cale Yarbourgh #28
Same sob story on every car. Those cars will not get pulled out of the ground until he gets pulled in. That’s reality.
Interesting video. That Anglia with that trim should be a 1200cc. Love the Rambler and the yellow Chev hardtop. I can't believe you walked away from a '56 Chev, my favourite. Cheers, from New Zealand.
Very interesting , a trip in time. Many thanks.
great cars wow mike s great
mate love watching your stuff. hello from australia
A very interesting gentleman !
That Allis Chalmers G is nice!!
Love that 54 Chevy
I absolutely hate clips like this!! Guy buys a bunch of cars and let's them rust to crap instead of selling them to someone that would bring them back to life,disgusting to see
Mike is a fine fellow and very long time business owner in Clayton County GA
( MIKES HITCHES )
he has installed more aftermarket HITCHES on vehicles than any other company in South Metro Atlanta
The family will have to deal with this at some point.
It’s one thing if you park it and keep it clean to preserve it ! But to let it sit and do nothing with it almost makes me wanna cry
I like mike , awsome cars fellas 👌
OLD money right there... Would've been nice to have been born to parents with money. Most folks couldn't afford to acquire so many vehicles just because you wanted them. Very fortunate fellow he is with a nice collection!!!
I don’t understand people that talk/act like they love a car but then they are willing to just let them sit and rot away. 🤷♂️
There are a lot of old houses in that part of Georgia. Less farm houses and more in the small towns and cities perhaps. That part of the state boomed in the middle 1800s. Coastal areas a little earlier. Amazing how little damage his collection has from the collapsing barn. Lucky.
