  • It's day one of the road trip from Midland, Texas, to McPherson, Kansas, and Tom has already struck gold. Hidden just outside of Lubbock, TX, lies a yard chock-full of desirable muscle cars that normally would make Tom go wild. But in this case they were all overshadowed by a particular orange Pontiac. Follow along as Tom checks another rare and desirable car off his barn find bucket list with the discovery of a GTO Judge.

Charity or something to encourage new blood in the hobby. So much good can come from it. He'd said something a good home in Kansas for a good cause. I want to see that! This was an amazing video.

      With boomers in heavy die-off mode and only a tiny percent of younger guys having the ability (let alone the desire) to own classic muscle, their values will simply continue to drop. Too much supply, while demand dries up equals big losses. So NOT saving every one might actually help stave off some of those loses...

      I’ve seen these kind in Kansas. I used to be a volunteer firefighter. One day I was off my regular job, and my pager went off for a possible house fire, just three miles from my house, in the country. When I went to get in my truck, I looked North and saw a column of smoke, dirty gray in color. A typical cookout for structure fires. I was there before the trucks arrived, and the house was already completely engulfed. However, that wasn’t all that was on fire. This place has hundreds of different kinds and makes of cars. Old ones, not so old ones, cars, trucks, convertibles, antiques, you name it, and it was probably there. And probably a quarter of them were already burning. No fire hydrant, although there was a water tower about 3/4 miles away.
      We all hoped upon hope and prayer that the resident, an old guy in his 70’s, a widower, wasn’t there. However, we found out he was there, and had been consumed by the fire.
      After all was said and done, his house, garage, two barns filled with cars, and likely over 100 cars, were either completely burned or so damaged by fire, they basically was trash. They had an auction if you want to call it that, for people that wanted some of the bodies for other restorations, but I Sunny think any of them brought more than a hundred, and that was few. Some were just dragged out and hauled away for free, what was left was picked up by a salvage owner for $25 apiece.
      The sad part was, this guy was just like the last guy. Bought ol all these cars, with intent to restore them,, got carried away, wife died, daughter lived in NC, I believe, the guy had let the house and the other buildings insurance lapse, let life insurance lapse, despite the daughters plea to let her help him, and to sell the cars so he would have some money, and move next door to her and his son-in-law, in a house they owned as well, rent free.
      Instead, they ended up paying to have everything bulldozed and hauled away, and ended up selling the land for way under what it would of if the dad would have listened to her and some of his friends that kept trying to help him.
      I’ve seen other people the same way, just like this. This guy will end up dying, and leaving it to someone else if there is, just as we all saw it. What a waste of someone buying some of them and reassuring them. But, that’s his choice.

In the end I had to do a title search, then chase down the guy who had last titled/registered the car in 1977, then talk him into getting a duplicate title so he could sign it over to me to get the title straightened out.

    I endorse this man and encourage anybody else to accumulate as much or more cool car collectables. This is what America is all about.

    What a waste, I've talked to idiots like that for years. "I'm gonna restore it, they are not for sale" these cars will rot to the ground until he kicks the bucket and family sells to clean up some of that mess. Such a shame

    Eventually, half the stuff will go for half price at an estate sale and the other half to the junk yard/grinder. Shameful!!!
