- Barn Finds in Mexico, three SS/RS 1968 Camaro's stored 25 years in Mexico, the original "Wrought Iron Volkswagen Beetle," and many more, Episode 1
Pepe Flores is Matt McConnoughey's blood brother. Right away its impossible not to like the guy.
Michael has a heart of gold.
This was an awesome video! Loved the story of the grandfather and his compadre. Stories like that need to stay alive, and they are through the grandson. Respect!
Pepe is awesome great story teller .could listen to him talk all day
I would really like to do another video with Pepe, so I'm glad you reminded me.
@@thewriter2549 thankyou for responding so quickly i enjoy your video alot.especially your passion in pursuit of classic cars.when the title said you going to mexico i clicked out of curiosity.but it was fun.even though maybe you were disappointed in the state of the camaros....but meeting Pepe was so much fun.Pepe is so much fun.when he opened of the place first thought that came to mind was he must have a understanding wife.this episode has so much content hope you do more on his place.happy car hunting,be safe.greetings from San Diego
That was a completely unexpected treasure find. You made us all very lucky to see this
"Pepe Flores", what a name and what a mustache! Love that wrought iron VW!
Amazing story Mr Pepe Flores. Thank you for sharing.
He is amazing!!
Thank you for sharing this, Jerry. Loved every minute of it.
Mr. Flores is a very gracious and talented man and it was very kind of all your hosts to show you around some amazing stuff. Much appreciated!
This guys stories about his grandfather & his compathrae' are very warming & nice thanks for this comentary great stuff 😎💪🇺🇸
Pepe, your father would be proud! Keep up the good work. What a great museum you have. I hope I can visit someday.
Love you all and thank you all for making a video thank you all for being my and thank you
A wonderful, beautiful, message -
HAVE MORE TRUST IN YOURSELF! You are beautiful, God made you perfect. EVerything God makes is perfect!
Look at the size of this place! 14:53 That size plastic horse was mine, on springs. I wasn't in school, yet - but I had my cowgirl vest and six shooter with a white handle...
We galloped all over the west and the plains, that horse and I! It was all over -
forget about it.
What a beautiful job on the "modern art" horse. His nostrils and muzzle. The hooves - BEAUTIFUL CRAFTMANSHIP. This place holds A LOT OF LOVE ❤❣❣
A very cool video!
PEPE FLORES is the Coolest Mexican in all of Mexico..........👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just stopped watching the video because of his stupid semi-moustached smile.

That guy is a beautyfull human being I can totally identify with what he feels this was one of the greatest videos I,ve seen👍👍👍
This was great. Love the discovery of another culture and the proof that guys will be guys! Love em and fix em up. There has to be a ton of crazy finds hiding in mexico, thanks for taking us along.
I just got back from Mexico city man I would see alot of 70s car restored and in the country you will see alot of 70s ford trucks man they love those years down there
You will find tons of classics here indeed.. youre welcomed to come and take a look.. lots of trans am, camaros and mustangs, along with millions of nice people
I went to Juarez many times back in the 70's and 80's. We would go the the dog track or to the horse track. Sometimes just went shopping. It is so cool to see this VW. I can't tell you how many times I saw it when I was there. I think they drove it around to different places to advertise a body shop if I remember correctly. Any way I always thought it was pretty cool old car. Thanks Jerry for showing it to the world!!!
Great Video! The guy at 11:00 is spot on about his philosophy on life about "Being free as a bird" to do what you love. Agreed! Thanks for the video
True very true I just woke up and saw this video and does words made my day
I bet Pepe worked hard in the USA and went home now he has a freaking paradise property., that's my homemade version of Pepe Flores, what a lively and lovely person he is, as the rest of his compadres have been with me and my family for decades, when anyone i know gets stuck with a problem? What I tell them is, ask the Mexicans, if you need transportation, a quick job, or a place to stay, they'll help you or look for someone that can. My brothers. 😁

Pepe is a really cool cat. If I ever get to Mexico I'll check his gallery out 4 sure!
A great episode 1 guys :)
The VW story is beautiful. God bless you Pepe Flores.
This is a great video. It just goes to show no matter where you're come from we, as human beings and men, are all the same. We have a great love for cars, history, and appreciate the same things in life. To go over to Mexico and not get robbed was great in itself, but getting together with people who have the same love and understanding shows we all breath through the same exhaust and bleed the same oil. Great unifying video.
Let’s not make it seem like it’s so note worthy that you didn’t get robbed in Mexico. People there are great and they don’t deserve that reputation. Yes there’s lots of stuff going on but it’s a separate issue to who the everyday people are.
THESE MEXICO TRIPS YOU GUYS TAKE SEEM VERY SPECIAL YOU GUYS SEEM TO MEET VERY INTERESTING COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE WHO LOVE WHAT THEY DO THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE EXPERIENCE 😎💪🇺🇸
I seen photographs of this very vw beetle in the car magazines in the 70s it was white , no write ups about it just the photographs
it was in an english magazine named , hot car , and also in custom car magazine . And countless others . I was an apprentice mechanic , 15 years old , oil ran through our veins then . Im in my sixties now . This brought back wonderful memories for me , I now after all these years know how this vehicle came to be , Pepe Flores thanks for your grandfathers story , thanks to everyone involved . Amazing .
Mustache dude is totally cool.
Talking with him would be really cool.
king0cans
In my experience anyone with that mustache is always cool and always interesting to chat with
king0cans 😂remind me of a million ways to die in the West. my mustache my mustache🎶🎵🎼📣📣🔊🎵🎶🎼😂if u only grew a mustache😂🎶🎵🔊
he played in the move with brad pitt about a pistol
Wow what a neat place I'd love to see and visit
If you can speak the language, possibly, some very friendly people there.
Pepe you are what defined us as Mexicanos we can make things one to life with whatever we have available call it plastic, metals, wood , concrete, etc ,etc I enjoy your conversation thank you Gracias ...
I remembered seeing the “pulguita” the vw bettle every time in my hometown Juarez, that neiborhood they went to look at the Camaros is the neiborhood I grew up in, it was cool coming across this vid
Amazing!!
That rod iron VW bug is famous among those of us who grew up on the border. It's seen it's better days.
I recall the "metal Policeman" type of signage here in NC when I was a kid. Anyone else remember them?
Good times great videos thank you
Go to Juarez to look for cool cars, get led to antiques, pedal cars and reproduction stuff. Classic Juarez! I was there often in the early ‘80’s and even the Taxi drives would take you where they wanted to, not where you asked to go, lol. They knew what was best for you. It has a bad rep now but I have fond memories from that time. Many nice people. I think the exchange rate then was nearly 200 peso’s to a dollar. If you walked across the Mexico street bridge (free) with $30 US, you could eat great, drink all you wanted, and ..... get your teeth fixed (LOL). Be sure to save a nickel to get back across the bridge to the US. (Seem like it was 3cents or something). Good times.
I WAS THERE IN 1973 verry cheep from Sweden!

I went to Juarez in 1996 and we went to the biggest antique store I have ever, ever seen. It was 3 floors of unbelieveable items. I bought and sold at that time. By 2006 you would get shot if you drove a nice car into Juarez. I never went back there. I bought wrought iron items, brass items and Aluminum items. As well as wood furniture from the Meninites. But Mexico went dark. Boom . Boom, Boom........ I'll never go to juarez again.
Great time capsule of history and the artisans. Pepe know his roots as do the crew that showed you these places. Just watched the first video from your channel on the 100 year old car which was a history lesson as well. Thanks guys for sharing the stories.
wow was not expecting this at all! even the guy filming didnt- lol
I really enjoyed this video...Interesting to hear the stories...Thanks for sharing.
Great museum.
I remember that Rod Iron VW when I was a chavalito and we'd go to the Del Rio store and that Rod Iron VW was parked up front all the time. Good memories
PEPE FLORES says " A GOOD DAY AGAIN " if Juarez makes you feel like that and gives you an attitude like that, I want to be there!
I know for a fact that Mexico has las barn finds !!!
The gallery is about 5 minutes from the "Free Bridge" crossing between El Paso and Juarez. There is a lot of neat old stuff in Juarez. You just need to know where to look.
What a sound dude,a walking story book.
Matt McConnoughey at it again!!!!!
What an enjoyable video, and a great message from Pepe Flores. His grandfather was quite an amazing artisan. I've seen Chewy in other videos, his shop and men are very good also. Thanks for this, Jerry, and all of your work. May good health and prosperity find you and remain with you in the New Year.
Thanks, and yes, Pepe Flores is amazing. You will see more of him and many more old cars in Episode 2.
8:53 That "Garden Furniture" VW Beetle is quite historical!!!
If you go search magazines of the 80-90s it will show up, lots of press it got back in the time.
I remember Pepes vw bug it was like a landmark when I was going to J town.
We are doing a video on this VW after its restoration.
Que interesante.. Mi mexico no te acabes
No creo que se acabe pronto mi rancho sigue igual desde que tenia 6 años solo la technologia es la que cambia.
The thing you really gotta worry about is that PowerStroker leaving you stranded ! Lol 😂
Very inspiring.....
MIS RESPETOS, ORGULLOSO DE PERSONAS COMO USTEDES.
Interesting stuff
Soy de cd juarez ...ese vw artesanal tiene muchos años creo que más 33 años ...como juarez no hay dos ..saludos..me encanta su canal
Pepe’s story about his grandpa was awesome. Pepe seems like a great guy and if I ever go to Mexico I’m checking out his shop. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is a good ass show
Pepe is beyond awesome
There’s a lot of cool cars and trucks in Mexico, my dad just acquired one in Mexico, a 79 Ford F-250 Crew Cab 4x4 manual gearbox factory orange paint, the owner brought it from California over 20 years ago and they kept in grest condition until the owners son some how destroyed the front differential ever since then the truck has been sitting in a garage for the past 10 years or so
Jorge Montero us Mexicans love older trucks and even more if they are 79 fords you’ll see beautiful trucks all day when you go
Yeah we love 70s ford. in Dallas my friends dad has a 74 f250 that his dad keeps in the garage with placas from Durango he pulls it out like 2 times a year
Heck, I went to zacapu michoacan mexico for a vacation and saw a black 73-75 (based on the grill) Ford F250 4X4 highboy in a parking lot being washed clean for the owner, and f350 camper special with the longer wheelbase and some f150s f100s 2wd and 4x4's. Mexico does have a lot of vintage cars and pickup trucks in good condition.
I'm from Juarez and I remember that beetle in the 80's, they used it as a way to market their gallery, they would drive it up and down the street, I wouldn't call it an icon, but everyone remembers that car, and I don't call it an icon because right now there's a guy that has a red ferrari and same thing, everyone has seen it and know who the owner is, but its not a city icon.
Like the "Airflow" trike. And Pepe is right about what his grandfather said, the last thirty has changed the western world, I'm 58, I've seen it.
I remember that bug. Every time we would go from el paso to downtown juarez. I would see it. Cool to see it.
My father Jose Mauro Puentes did most of the work on this body. Love hearing this story. We have receipts and pictures.
THE MOST INTERESTING MEXICAN IN THE WORLD SEÑOR PEPE
What a great story.
I also saw that orange maverick, the people of that house did not want to sell it hahah, I live in Juarez, in fact I have a maverick 1974 4 doors
Nice video!
they dont want to sell it ? did you offer more them 10 buck's ?
Broo did you know were that store is i wana go visit it😀 yo tambien soy de juarez dime si sabes porfa👍
I love these heartwarming people! thank you jerry. ▪▪▪☆
I saw one of these Volkswagens at a V.W. dealership in Guadalajara, Jal. back in the early 70's it was definitely eye catching!
Great story,and background for it.Very good workmanship.
I LIKE PEPE' FLOREZ & CHEWIE THEY BOTH LOVE WHAT THEY DO & ARE VERY COMPASSIONATE WORKSMEN. I SEEN THE OTHER VIDEO COMENTARY WHERE YOU WERE AT CHEWIES SHOP & WOW ONE COULD REALLY TELL A PROFESSIONAL WHEN SEEING A SHOP LIKE THAT & HE KNEW WHAT EVERY CAR WAS HAVING DONE SIMPLY VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE YOU FOUND IN MEXICO 😎💪🇺🇸
Very nice, especially for the rare Volkswagen :)
That guy tells some good stories 👍
mexico has a lot of classic cars
Gracias por gran video, grandes recuerdos de Juaritos, ese lugar donde se encuentra el bochito era mi camino cuando yo venía de CD, DELICIAS CHIHUAHUA Para El Paso TX. Y no podías de dejar de mirarlo por que siempre era y será algo fuera de lo común ( una gran obra maestra con figuras de alambron en herrería) un gran saludo desde Las Vegas Nevada.
compa un saludo de cesar ochoa, desde aca de juaritos
Lived in San Diego for a year a long time ago. Drove my beat-up, rusted, Pontiac Ventura across the border into Tiajuana one night. Came back from having a beer, it was gone. Never felt the urge to go back...
This was a most interesting episode.
I've seen that Wrought-iron Bug a million times going over to War ez....back in the day you could find lots of muscle car treasures like Hemi's and Harleys
This guy has a story for everything, I'm pretty sure that there is more than one be like that I Mexico,
In my home town Zamora Michoacán I remember seeing one back in the 80'
Man i would love to visit that antique shop with Mr. Flores, my family is from Guadalajara Jalisco but I think I’m going to have to make a visit to Juarez next time I’m in Mexico.
Cool video
Love this museum..better then any museum in the usa..like he said YOU CAN TOUCH the stuff in usa u cant touch shit. Like where I live we have a haunted house call the Whaley House in San Diego they have glass in the rooms as doors so you can't really go inside the room what the hell is the point.
great story !!!
I loved the story. Very cool! Papa Greg here👊😎👊
Love the mustache guy so much charisma
Interesting stories from pepe Flores
I would like to do a whole video with Pepe.
That bottles surrounded in steel net at 12:05 was for making carbonated water long time ago... pressurized CO2 was injected and they were dangerous for obvious reasons (that's why the steel net)
Great video ! Awesome dude !
these are some good guys, making me think of bringing my 71 mustang down
Make sure that man puts that bug on youtube when he finishs it! I love it and cant find more on it. Currently watching this video and searching for his car and more pics
I just got to the part about it being there for 30 years. Id love to see it run someday. Lol
Wow, made me feel like I belong... great video
Wow .....I love the antiques I own a 80's Teddy ruxpin an a 86 Monte Carlo SS an I wanna get a peddle car for my kid
Yeeessssiiirr,,,no salt down south baby!!!!
When he asked next stop ....... I was like tacos 🌮😋😋
Money to be made , hope you go big .
Mi amigos, grasias
thank you for sharing that with us Jerry I was very very cool
You are very welcome. Thanks for the kind words. They keep me going.
His grand father worked his butt off building that VW
The one under the cover has disc brakes! 7:00
i found a 1969 cobra in south america, immaculate, next visit im buying it.
Love the vw story
Buen video, y felicidades Pepe Flores hasta hoy me di cuenta de la historia de este bocho de herreria,el cual me gustaria ver nuevamente jalando, yo lo mire muchas veces en los 80" ya sentado y sin rodar,conosco bien mi Juaritos y se que ahy muchos autos que descubrir y que son reliquias muy preciadas por sus dueños..
Nice to see Juárez, and it’s antique cars .
