Barn Find Hunter Tom Cotter has been hunting cars since he was 12 and has discovered more than his share of hidden gems. So when he says, “This is what dreams are made of,” you can take it to the bank.
In BFH, episode 20, presented by Shell and Quaker State, Tom heads to South Carolina and gets more than he bargained for. First, he admires the remains of a rare 1953 Woodill Wildfire, one of approximately 300 built by Dodge and Willys dealer Blanchard Robert “Woody” Woodill in Downey, Calif. Tom checks out a 1967 Porsche 912 and a 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special when things get a little wild-literally.
After driving to North Carolina to visit old friend Steve Davis, a former member of Dale Jarrett’s NASCAR team, Tom strolls through a car-filled building that Steve claims “is longer than a football field.” He isn’t kidding. Tom also admires a barn full of Jaguars-from an XK140 roadster to an XKE 2+2-and inspects a 1932 Chevrolet moonshine car, complete with a bullet hole in the rear window.

Steve Davis a man full of stories and adventures! He deserves a full 1 hour interview!!!!

@tonyoneeyewoods 6 лет назад

I am from the uk 🇬🇧 and so enjoy watching these shows, I knew nothing about American cars until I started watching, I feel I have learnt a lot and love the passion you guys have for the old stuff, I have watched every episode and wait to see news ones, I searched and found my own barn find three cars on a farm in a barn that had been sat for 12 years I bought them and have recommissioned one and half way through the next. This programme is pure inspiration keep it up guys!!!! 👍

@Hagerty 6 лет назад

Awesome! What cars did you find? Which one is up and running and which one is the current project? It would be great if you could share your story and some photos on our new forums at forums.hagerty.com!

Guessing a Ford pop

@doresrules28 6 лет назад

Man every young boy should have to watch this series. So much history in those cars and stories of how they were purchased. I could watch this all day!

@tobiasp6935 6 лет назад

. Im 15 too and i like this also

@lukeallison1182 Год назад

I got a chance to meet Steve by chance when I accidently stumbled across his shop once. He is a very humble man and gave me a tour of all his cars and answered any questions I had about them.

@gosportjamie 6 лет назад

It's lovely the see that incredible big block, manual/stick shift County Squire again, what an incredibly cool and rather unique wagon...

@styldsteel1 6 лет назад

On one of Tom's episodes, he show how he acquired it.

@t1mpetti 6 лет назад

This was one of the best episodes ever. The story about the flood car, the Jags.. Woke up the little kid in me, just sat here in wide wonder and listened in awe.

@nothinghere7391 6 лет назад

This is honestly one of very few series that I've watched every video at least 30 times.

@bicyclist2 5 лет назад

Its absolutely heartbreaking to see these Jags sit and rot like this. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

@josephfilm73 4 года назад

Not really. They make new old ones from the factory exactly identical to the originals. With the condition of those in the barn, the restoration cost would be as high as just buying the same car from the factory. You'd have to replace almost everything. Let them rot away.

@averypavlik7812 Год назад

they’re not rotting lol

@robertsoucar8032 6 лет назад

These places really do exist, you find them when you least expect it. I just found a corvette grave yard deep in the woods. There was a 100yr old factory building full of cars. In the middle was a 63 split window corvette. The owner had it for 40yrs. I ended up buying it. Great show. Keep on hunting!

@alfee9411 4 года назад

You need a Truck to restore it completely ? We Can.... Awesome story !

@calibration9792 6 лет назад

this is so interesting you could make much longer episodes! i could watch that for hours and listen to the storys of these old beauties.

@ObsoleteOddity 6 лет назад

Love this channel! Thank you for bringing me (living in Switzerland) a chance to see these amazing finds.

@MarcS4R 6 лет назад

lost for words really. my goodness. so many treasures.

@flateric67 4 года назад

Watching these episodes again. Just love the way Tom C. Talks to the owners as he draws out the stories we love to hear.

@DriveDaily1 6 лет назад

I hope Hagerty has realised that this series should become one of the most people, if not already the most popular on their channel. Keep at it. Plenty of finds to be had!! I'd love to see some sort of restoration show also.

@jasonvogelsang3376 Год назад

You must be from across the pond.. it's relize in the US

@scottcol23 Год назад

Wayne Carini has been doing this on TV for almost 20 years. This show really reminds me of Chasing Classic Cars a lot. I love that this show is more raw and shows all kids of cars. Not just 2 million dollar Duesenbergs stutzs and Rolls Royce.

@blackvulcan100 6 лет назад

So many beautifull cars slowly rotting away.They should be preserved for all to enjoy. If I had the money I would buy a classic car.Great video.

@SpatialDragon 6 лет назад

Just amazing collections of cars and bikes, a lot is junk, but how the hell does anyone ever accrue that much stuff? Just amazing. Keep digging.

@ozzstars_cars 6 лет назад

The guy in Maggie Valley is a hoarder. It's a shame those cars and bikes don't get to be used and are just rotting away. Another great episode!

@wilkesjournal 6 лет назад

Think of all the other cars and motorcycles he -didn't- buy 30 years ago - you know, all the ones that were crushed and now no longer exist! Maybe there's some value to keeping them in barns after all....

@jessem8928 6 лет назад

MrZep420 why keep hording them then?

@chadsimmons6347 5 лет назад

yep he's a hoarder..probably need a scoop shovel to clean his bedroom..very dirty old man!

@silentjde 5 лет назад

It’s really amazing what is sitting in random barns. It’s also a bit said that this stuff just might be scrapped one day since most of these people don’t want to sell this stuff and some of these guys are up there in age.

@lindamcentaffer5969 5 лет назад

Imagine some unsuspectin' dude drivin' his new Chevy Truck up the Mt. Pass, tryin' to pass that Squire Wagon! Love it. Sleepers are just FUN!

@scottcol23 Год назад

LOL that opossum! Imagine being sound asleep in your pile of leaves and all of a sudden, your house opens up and you fall out while being filmed.

@UnderUrs69 6 лет назад

I have a 1977 XJ-S. Found it in a garage and hasn’t been on the road since 1988. British racing green with camel leather. Numbers matching, 20k miles. However, it is in need of restoration. Hoping I have the opportunity to bring it back to its former glory at some point in my life.

@SteverRob 6 лет назад

I worked for Bob way back in the 80s. That place is a time capsule. Nothing's moved in 30 years, amazing, and good to see he's still up and about.

@tylerscott3234 5 лет назад

SteverRob hello my name is Tyler I live in Columbia,SC if you don’t mind can you tell me where I can find Bob’s salvage yard I have been wanting a crew cab squarebody for so long now and I noticed that he has two sitting there.

@LMacNeill 6 лет назад

Over all too soon. Wish this was a much longer show! Love it!! And that ‘67 wagon - YUM! 428 4-speed Country Squire wagon - all original!! What an amazing vehicle that is!

@jimclarke1108 6 лет назад

Its great to see you driving the 428 manual wagon , i guess you own it

@dougsmith4999 6 лет назад

I want to buy it!

@JohneyBoy901 6 лет назад

It actually appeared in one of the episodes and it is a 1/1 car ever made.

@marcryvon 6 лет назад

You can't have a better "sleeper".Get the picture: Tom sitting at a red light, kid comes up in the next lane in his 'stang and laughs at him " Yo sir, ya drive your Granny's car! yuk yuk!" And then Tom nails it... End of story. :-))))

@jimclarke1108 6 лет назад

Plenty diff ratios out there ))

My grandfather restored a 1954 jaguar xk120 from next to nothing to a first in show car. It is my absolute favorite of his cars.

@okkiebokkelul9718 4 года назад

What great places to find. Much more interesting than a museum, in these places you can dream away ..... finding cars hearing stories. Love it. For those who say what a shame don't worry one day all if it will be for sale...........

@gosportjamie 6 лет назад

Yes, I remember reading that Briggs Cunningham was involved with Woodill vehicles among his may other works. I bet one of those on the factory frame must have been a real joy to drive...

@letstalkepic9438 4 года назад

That's some incredible work you're doing there. Love it😎🍻

@grumpystruckshop3807 4 года назад

Hi l have rescued a few American cars to the uk, love to see all those barn finds, it's a little worrying that future generations will not be interested enough to rebuild or appreciate all of them. I think some of these hoarders believe they will live forever. We have a 67 Chevrolet 396 ss. 73 mach 1 351.67 cougar 302 .09 dodge challenger 6.1 hemi,

@arturotrejo8850 6 лет назад

I freaking love that wagon

@MalloryBlack 5 лет назад

I like your show Tom. Some people just don't understand the connection we have with mechanical things especially cars. Honestly I think I have better conversations with my cars than with people as far as understanding what's going on with them, what they like and don't like...yeah... And every once in a while your show connects a car to a man or woman who can give it new life... also very nice

@comporangesvt 6 лет назад

I love that Country Squire Wagon. My uncle had a Black Country Squire with Revell Red interior and a 352ci 3spd stick car. Man i loved rides in that as a kid. Wish I had it now

@cedb7115 6 лет назад

Some people are truly wealthy.... This guy has 12 buildings full of junk cars and bikes, with a lot of gems in it. Id take an E-type all day

Dear Mr Cotter....PLEASE, ....always use that Country Squire for all your searches from now on, it's a super barn find itself, so it represents this chanel to absolute perfection !!

Hey, that's right ! The wagon ,wich was very rear, the only one like it as a matter of fact. Was being driving by you. I like that wagon! It's what I call a sport station wagon, for the family man and the sports car enthusiast. Super cool bro, super nice!

@chrision3857 6 лет назад

The joy surely must be to see this rust converted into what they used to be running as they were, all shiney and good looking. Any followups on these vehicles Post-barn to street?

@k7le757 6 лет назад

We need 1 hour show here, please.

@joebeastyg5686 4 года назад

Seeing those Jags just sitting there, collecting dust like that breaks my heart.

@Nobody-nz6vy 3 года назад

At least they’re not rotting away in somewhere like Michigan

@sharonwatson3320 3 года назад

They aren’t rotting.....Just dusty. He keeps them in the condition he finds them, and puts them inside buildings. Better than rotting outside. Eventually, he will see them to folks who will fully restore them. But until then, he is the caretaker of history.

@Punisher-cs7ek 6 лет назад

@karnajaya6127 4 года назад

Excellent,I like your texs,good idea you are the best man

@spazmatastic 4 года назад

I just now saw this video b/c I was directed to it by a friend of Steve Davis. I have the chance to take a tour of his collection in a few weeks. After seeing this video, I can't wait to see all the stuff that Steve has stored away in those buildings! If I just had the cash to buy something and restore it...

@nickstaffer5036 6 лет назад

Is that his Country Squire with a 4-SPEED?! Awesome...

@muskokamike127 6 лет назад

that wagon sounds kickass! lol

@timthemechanix 4 года назад

Hi, I've been hooked on watching your videos for 3 days now. I've been brings cars back to life for 43 years, but I have pretty much just been keeping the bills paid. I bring cars back to life for other people, still haven't found one for me. Got to thinking maybe I would find one of these people who needed to get some up and running in return for one. Thanks for videos.

@amoblaize6522 5 лет назад

I love the history about the cars

@garthlocklin6355 6 лет назад

I love this show and Tom's presentation. It's fun to watch all the barn finds and stuff but I feel somewhat bad for the folks have so much stuff collected over the years they can't get them back on the road or pass on before they can get a project running/restored. I wish I had the money to restore some of the cool finds if I could get my hands on one. I have a tough enough time keeping up with one or two project cars and although I'm not a mechanic I can do a few repairs. The other issue I have is I may find a mechanic who says he can fix a problem my car has but in reality he jumped a wire or took another shortcut just to get paid, and get the car out of his shop. Old school mechanics are getting harder to find, along with ridiculous prices for NOS parts for my old '74 Dodge. It's extremely frustrating to pay good money for crappy repairs or rebuilt carbs that don't work correctly. At least the local parts store gives me a refund every time I have to return a rebuilt 1 barrel carb for my slant 6. I might have to spend $2200 at Summit for the Clifford 4 barrel intake/exhaust kit. I enjoy the car but i am already upside down on the value vs. what I have spent over the last 11 years. I have always enjoyed car shows and cruising but it's become a rich man's hobby and as I am nearing age 60 my priorities are changing.

@keithwhittygmail 5 лет назад

@ChaosZero. 6 лет назад

So I'm essentially 4 days late on this because this stupid RU-vid didn't send me a notification even though I've specifically "told" it to as the bell is ticked. Anyway, another lovely episode. I envy you Americans, you have so many of these old cars laying around just waiting to be saved by someone and restored. Here in Italy we don't have anything of this scale. And the few abandoned "project cars" we can find and buy are overpriced as hell because the owners think they're Ferraris worth hundreds of thousands of Euros even if they're just old Fiat 500s worth only the metal they're made of.
