Just another day on the road for Barn Find Hunter Tom Cotter, finding million-dollar projects. They only made 85 of these, and it needs a full restoration but it seems like most of the parts are there. Can you guess what it is?

Wow... what a story. I am so glad for KZhead. Twenty years ago we would never have the opportunity to go on this exploration with you. Thank you for the eye opener.
I CAN'T BELIEVE KZhead FINALLY SUGGESTED SOMETHING THAT I MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN. subscribed

WOW.. Dwayne's collection is FANTASTIC..!! Nothing like a 1965 421 Tripower 4 speed 2+2, Jaguars, rare Trucks. Ojai Valley is a perfect place to cruise to and up into the canyons..!!!
What a fantastic series, the thrill of the hunt with several different Marques shown. Very organic.
Because of this show I've started getting into cars. My first car that I've found 2 months ago was a Renault 4 in a barn. A pretty rare version of them here in Portugal. Because of the laws we cant do this type of barn finding but I've managed to be lucky and get it's papers. Hope the show gets bigger!
Sounds to me the laws in Portugal are quite restrictive, much worse than here in the USA.
Watching in Bonn Germany! Best 16mins of my week, love these videos.
This is like!!! I love the little backstories on the cars or random parts laying around. This guy knows his stuff!
I can't get enough of these videos...Amazing what's still out there !!! More ! More!
They are still out there! Thanx for a great show!
Kudos to the host for not being judgmental about the situations he encounters
Wow I love this show and was so surprised to recognize George Wilson’s shop.. I had a few old cars when I was young and barely started working on cars.and would constantly pester George with questions. He would always politely answer and help. Super blast from the past.This was 40 years ago. He was the coolest.
I love how Dwayne Bower opens up as the show progresses and he talks about his passion. Great video
The best video ever i see here, congratulations Tom. Es el mejor que he visto, y el Pegaso, impresionante.!! No quedan muchos, ni siquiera aquí, en España. Un saludo.
Awesome series! what a dream job, touring the country looking for old classic cars. Sensational!
I get a kick out of these people that say that all of the old cars have been found, and look what you come across. Amazing. Thanks for a great video, I always enjoy the show.

Once again, I'm blown away...just awesome!!
It makes me sad to see all these classics dying...
So. Cal...no rust.
Most of the cars you showed us were rotting, it would take over $70,000 per car to restore them my dad bought a beautiful 27 Rolls for $1 and I spent over $60,000 restoring a totally original car so one I see people throw a tablecloth over a car and tell you it was running last week I have to laugh. Most of these Hoarders want retail prices for their unrestored cars.
They've got all these cars but let's see more of them in different stages of restoration. Love to see more exotic foreign autos that we don't see much of in the U.S.A..
Where do you get engine rebuild kits for a Pegaso V-8?!
I really love the way this show is been put together and the fact that Tom is driving his old Fords makes it even better!!!! Please continue in this way and don't make it a big flashy show.It don't need it.Keep up the good work:)
So great to see the old girls are still being found like this. Cannot get enough of these wonderful old cars.
I love that series and you are so professional in everything you do ... Compliment for that !!!! I can't wait to see another episode ... GREAT !!!!!!
Tom Cotter, what's the sense in having all thse beautiful auto's sitting, getting older & older & nobody getting the pleasure of restoring them & enjoying them ...!!!!!
Pegasos were just made for a few years during the 1950s. Mr Ricart had been the chief engineer of Hispano Suiza in the 30s. Even barn finds are worth a fortune :)
Wilfredo Ricard work for Hispano-Suiza in the 30s, and was chief of special production in Alfa Romeo later, collaborating with Enzo Ferrari in the competition scuderia from AR. The same fabric of Hispano-Suiza was rework after the spanish civil war and made the Pegasos Z-102.
Great show you guys. I recently discovered you through a KZhead suggestion as well. I love the way you're bare bones without a lot of post production. It's so refreshing. Thanks!
Truly amazing what is out there in the barns and garages around the world. This stuff never gets old for me. My happiest place is in these dusty garages staring at hidden treasures of automotive history!
In the garage since 1972? Now I don't feel so bad about not getting my projects done.
Indys Dad what project cars do you have
..same!
A neighbor of mine recently just fully restored his fastback mustang. Had it sitting in his garage for years since I was a kid.
@@volcommadness I have a 67 Camaro I bought in 73 with 89,000 miles on it it now has 110,000
Just finished my first new truck a 1991 Chevy Silverado, which I gave to my son and in trun gave it to his son .my brother did the body and paint. So you can say it is all in the family.
Tom, even in 1974, the GTX with the 440 had the hi-po (police spec) engine, which made a respectable 275 net horsepower. My brother had a '74 Monaco police car (which he got in '75 when the Sheriff's department turned it in for their new fleet of identical cars!), and it had the 400 hi-po, which was rated at 250 net hp. My dad's '74 Plymouth wagon, which had the civilian 400 2-bbl, had just 190 hp. The optional civilian 4-bbl had around 205 hp.
Christopher G I had a 73 polara police high speed pursuit pkg. It wasnt super quick but it would bury the 140 mph speedometer. It had 2 bullet holes in it 1 in the door 1 in door post. I never got out ran top speed but my 70 BB Chevelle was quicker. I loved to hear that big thermoquad on that 440. My buddy told me it had the good magnum heads but according to the factory none were built with them after 72 but hey my uncle had a 70 monte carlo with a bb402 4 spd. 1 of only 4 that had 4 spds(in chevelles they had 402's also but still called them 396) although they dodnt have a 4spd option, all were ordered by employees so who knows...
I have to say that this is by far the best of the barn find hunter just great old cars thanks for sharing!!!!
Pegasos are amazingly beautiful. Wilfredo Ricart, an ex-Alfa-Romeo engineer was behind the project, which was funded/launched by Enasa, a Spanish truck building company. Great find!
Boy Tom, you passed over many great cars in this episode. Sure do wish the time could be taken to show us more of them. This video could have been an hour or more. Please - it's seems like you are baiting us. Show a little bit and on to other stuff. More, more, more! Chuck in Kansas
My guess is the blame is with Hagerty. Tom seems like he could spend hours talking cars. There seems to be a concensus of viewers to make these videos longer.
I agree! Hey Hagerty - are you listening??
Awesome video, subscribed
When I saw the intro thought, no way that's a Pegaso, but I'm susprised to see one on the states that went there so early
Beautiful country. Idk how, but seeing it randomly on film made me feel truly blessed to live in this area.
I just love seeing these old cars and trucks. Thanks for the video. Iowa
The episodes are too damn short! Surely enough footage is recorded to make episodes that are at least 30 minutes long? It's not like KZhead charges by the minute for uploads. Always enjoyable viewing, regardless of duration!
next time yer in pa. email me. wait till i show you some new, old stuff, heh heh heh.
Love this show but it’s just too painful watching these hoarders destroy these amazing works of art.
Someone is going to buy them and they're going to get restored eventually, and even if they aren't, they're going to all end up like us in the end so no real use getting worried about it.
You are right, some of the people with very nice cars have no interest in restoring the cars but for some strange reason would prefer to watch the car rust into the dirt rather than sell it to someone that will restore it and put it on the road. Some people are strange.
Tom I love your enthusiasm!
A car guy that is not aloof, egotistical , and full of self importance? He IS the man . Sub .
I love that tow truck I remember that from the movie💯💛
Pegaso Z-102 Supercharged was the fastest road car of its time. Very attractive car, too.
twogreatguitars this one is a 2.8L with a single 2 barrel Weber.
Another great video, I can’t believe the gems you keep finding. I was half expecting a ‘41 Willys to be behind those garage doors and jump out, maybe one will turn up when you least expect it to. Love your Woodie, I built one for one of my relatives about 15 years ago,1929 Model A frame, repro cab, fibre glass fenders, aluminium hood ( we call it a bonnet here in the U.K.), English Ash bodywork with Ford Pinto running gear, finished in gloss black. Glad I found your channel and never disappointed with the content 👍🏻.
As an spaniard i am so proud of you for rediscovering and restoring this special spanish beauty, there are no longer any spanish brand a seen these beatifull creations taking care of feels really nice, like if the legacy from the spaniards that once work on these car still there, driving around.
Excellent, more please.

Always a good day with a barn find hunter video!😁
Love what you do, Tom! Keep it up!
That 1941 Lincoln Continental could almost be mistaken for a 2019 BMW.
Back in Somervile, Massachusetts ford finally sold the old Somervile assembly plant which closed in 1959. A buddy of mine the construction company he worked for got the job to clean out the plant so the owner could convert it to a shopping mall and was told whatever is there I want gone. At the north end of the old plant they found it walled off with plywood from floor to ceiling with a single man door with a padlock on it. One hammer strike later and the door was open and everybody froze when the looked inside. There were 62 cars sitting there up on blocks all covered with plastic, the most miles any of them had was 8.4 miles. They were all 1959 Ford Edsels in perfect condition. Everyone wanted one, ( there were only 18 employees) the boss said everyone would get a car the next morning. When everyone showed up the next morning all the cars were gone. The boss sold them overnight and as Ross told me he got just over $2 million bucks for them. He would have been better selling one of each to each employee because by the time the contract to clean out the old plant every single Caterpillar had burned up or been destroyed by the employees as they were very upset. It cost the owner of the construction company a lot of money to replace all the cat machines he had some of them were destroyed 4 times before the job was done. He threatened to call the cops on his employees and they told him right to his face go ahead, you won't be here when the cops arrive. He never called the cops and spent more than he got for the Edsel's in buying new replacement equipment. Damn shame. Thank you young lady for the look into the past farm wise as it is a beautiful thing to see and sad at the same time.
This did not happen. 62 low mileage Edsel’s hitting the market all at once would be a huge story.
@@ingresswizard9044 - Indeed. It's an urban legend story I've heard before, years ago, up here in Michigan, regarding an old plant in Detroit.. All B.S.
Ha! Ha!
I love the belt that locks the hood on the Jaguar 120. That will be beautiful cleaned up.
My favourite youtube channel...Amazing cars and at the same time sad and rust vehicles that have to be back on prime...! Big Hug and God bless you! Pablo De Oliveira Spain-Brazil
Yes, 16 mins is just too short. He could have done a 2 hour show just on the cars at the last place. I saw him walk by cars that I was yelling at him to stop and tells us about it. And this is true for most of his shows - 16 mins is a teaser. And Tom is the perfect host.
No engine = no problem turn it into electric vintage car as by 2028 California emission standards will be very strict !
The 440 GTX is awesome I like that car 💯
Thanks for the tour, I loved it , wish you had something from Holden EG EH doing 120MPH with a 202 bored 60 tho's
Image all those cars built and working .. impeccable
Where's the 67' ford wagon??? I'm in love with that car
We had a '67 Squire Estate Wagon with a 390 and a 3 spd auto. We had a passel of kids and this model had enough seats for all. After we put a smaller pulley on the power steering pump, it was a real freeway flyer in S. Cal.
I wish this was 60 min. long sow. Come on sponsors let go of the cash..
old man They could just upload a hour long unedited video and I'd watch it
I'm with you. Too many details left out. Only 85 of the Spanish car made and they happen to have one in their garage, but somehow he's already restored one before. There is a story there.
I´m with you too,so many great stories and history with all those wonderful cars.
I have to stop going to the casino.
Glen Hesketh casinos? me too.
Another amazing, off the charts video Tom!!! But PLEASE make them LONGER!!!Just the part with Mr. Bowers could've been an hours long. HUGE THUMBS UP!!!!!!
Amazing, the love of old cars. It's a great show!!! Keep up the good work!!!#
Regarding that gear: I needed some for my CNC machine. I contacted a place in the US: $2600 each. I said NO EFFIN WAY the thing is 1" dia 14 deg pressure angle...3/8" bore..... I contacted a place in china, they said "we don't have the tool to do a 14 deg pressure angle, we'll have to buy it...we'll get back to you with a price"..... They got back to me 2 days later: $8,00 each plus $20 shipping...so I ordered 4....total cost? $36.00 Now I could understand if the US was double...or even triple....but 100x more?

I wonder how the quality compares. Either way the American company is outrageous
It's the steel they are using. Chinese steel has been proven time and time again that thier forge processes aren't up to standard to the American equivalent. Under duress and pressure, the American one is always the better quality steel. Chinese junk isn't just a metaphor, it's the truth.
elipsorange get a grip maga
@@elipsorange Not all places in China get the same steel grade or even source it from China.
I love irony in how these people treat these classic cars like shelves, yet want to sell them for outrageous prices because they are so "rare".
Obama columnist’s Dinner speech
Or else they never sell any of them.... Guess they are taking them to the grave??
Stumbled across you video I’ve got goose bumps that just won’t go away ,iam hooked
Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing
I really like that you ask the question some shy away from, how much would you take on it? What are you doing with it? Thanks
Needed some one to clean out the garage 😂people in kalifornia 🤣
This show just keeps getting better and better!
These shows are so making me wish I lived over in the states! There is nothing better than seeing all these old cars and some even for sale!!
No you don’t want to live there, too many nutters with guns.🇦🇺
The body shop next door to my shop is bidding on restoring an undocumented Yenko. I am hoping they get this car.
Mann I hope you get it and make a video
Did they get it?
I like
Even his barn door is out of this world
Great episode, what a cool guy he is. one day, yes one day I want to get iver there and pick something up and go across the country in it.. preferably with my dad and my boy! done loads of travelling all around the States and its always the cars that are the stars ! keep up the great work Tom, we don't seem to see younas often in 2022 as previous years of Barn Find Hunter!

That 1952 Pegaso makes it to Pebble beach that's the pinnacle of all the collector's cars, what a car, it's going to be nice when finished. From the looks of the pistons out of the V-8 Pegaso, how did it run on pump gas? Normally, a piston in that configuration the compression ratio would have to be 12.5-1. Anyone?

Hi Tom really enjoy your barn finds .I actually remember you living on long Island in the same street where I lived I remember seeing your old cars at your house .this is going to sound crazy but my mom knew you dad he picked up my mom because they worked at same place I remember your wooden wagon and your ford 2 dr wagon .I had alot of old cars myself. Love you program .
Very cool to see all this Tom! Keep them coming!
All these classic cars and I have trouble even finding one for sale at a reasonable price xD
That's because your shopping with a price YOU want to pay. I don't want classic cars I want what the gentleman had in this video just alot more stuff And dust
The problem is people watch shows like this, and then think that their unrestored car is worth a whole lot more than it really is. I haven't seen any cars purchased on any of the episodes of this show that I've watched so far. So it's likely to say, the prices are a bit High when talking price point. Most of these guys are just Porter's who have no real concept of buying and selling. They just buy them for cheap and hold on to them, and ascribe some sort of value in their own deluded mind.
Pegaso "Horse". 360 HP, 32 valve, V8, from 50's. Fastest car at the time.
Pegaso "Pegasus" , maybe? Caballo = horse
Great show, just found it today. Had a chance to visit "Shelby's" place or actually "Wilson Dinosaur Repair" and had a George play a trumpet for my missus and me. Such a lovely chap, and the cars down there...WOW
I LOVE all the classic and older vehicles! What a treat. Have a daily driver 91 Ranger XLT myself, with no intentions of leaving IT! (2.3L 8 plug fuel injected 5 speed) The Guy With Barn After Barn Of Classics Blew Me Away! Thanks For The Program. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would Not buy A New Car, But perhaps A 54 Buick Roadmaster Or Something Along Those Lines. Thanks Again!
man I wish they talked about each individual car more...
What was the OTHER car Carl had covered up in the garage..?
I love what your doing. How you have passion for all vehicles
And there, ladies and gentleman, starting at 10:00 , is Duane, the clinical definition of a hoarder. "Just a hobby, really; I collect cars but I've never sold any". Classic. If he's married, she's one too , because there's no way ... well, you know the rest.
she's an enabler
If that guy has a wife, she is stuffed.
Seeing this makes me want to Watch cars😂
Joris Bakker You should go stand next to the freeway and watch 👁You’ll see a bunch of them!!!!!
Some rare finds this episode. Thank you
Hey! What about the 1970 Monte Carlo sitting next to the to the Pontiac??? It would probably be the only car there that I would be interested in.
This time on Car Hoarders..
IKR#$$! RLMFAO
Next: Honda Civic barn find
NEx HD : yeah Honda civic next i am a Honda fan but i have to say all old school japanese car's a awesome especially Nissan before Renault got their dirty hands on them
All the CVCC were rust buckets. They have dissolved into the atmosphere.
"All this car needs is an exhaust system. And maybe just an entirely new body."
NEx HD. i know where one Cvic 1975 is. no rust . engine hasn't started in 30 years.
MetaView7 I've seen a few in her California desert that have managed to survive due to the dry conditions.
Really great video. It isn't often that I screen clip images from videos but this is really a collection of portraits. Many thanks for posting this.
The Spanish/French one has a Very Cool front end...and then the right sound coming out of that thing. Thanks cool find.
I might be the only person watching this that actually knows who Big Sean is
Nah
Lol, here in Spain that car is considered a Holy Grail. My god. I never think one of these could end on usa.
Mike Litoris some history behind it: that car was brought to the US sometime in the mid 60's. it was used as a daily driver in Madrid for years and the second owner of it bought it off of a used car lot!
Wow!!! Fantastic, thanks!!
Yep! This car is my restoration project with my father. Should be starting restoration within a year or so.
This show is awesome I can't believe i haven't seen this on KZhead before my week is literally set and it's Monday.
Wow! That's amazing!
Pegasus, it was a car for royal families only!
Nuno Real as Wilfredo Ricart said, Jewels for the rich!
Better call Jay Leno!
No, call Jethro Gibbs. That shopsmith is just like his. steve
What a cool way to make a living! Love this series.
Rolling that car out with $25 Autozone Jacks. Love it!!!
Hey Tom, I want your job..... Dave Niagara Falls, NY

kinda sad really. Most are sitting there unused, neglected.
Pontiac 421 ! awesome...great episode !
You find and show some pretty cool..sweet cars...thanks
here's a link to the Big Sean video with the car shown at 14:51 kzhead.info/sun/mpuHpsdubHp_aqc/bejne.html (you only see a very dark outside shot of the car at :42 and :46 and then a couple interior shorts of them in the backseat throughout) Thanks for these awesome videos! Like others said I wish they were an hour long.
