You are spot on about Mr. Turner in the early 80’s I bought a 68 Gt Jr Alfa Romeo and Turner’s had a 69 GTV that I was buying parts when low and behold the car was gone!! The buyer left a business card so I called the number and 40 years later I’m still into Alfa’s and still have the best friendship with the buyer of that Alfa that was turned into a SCCA GT 4 race car that I helped with. Best years of my life for a 22 year old at the time. This episode sure brings back memories of his wrecking yard.

Jerry turners yard is one of the coolest yards I ever been to . Been going to his place for over 10 years . I don't think he will ever sell that 57 hardtop it was his sons .

@carstoned9151 6 лет назад

Amazing show, Tom truly is very knowledgable and you can tell that he really has been enthusiastic about what he does since the age of 12

Great show, thank you, and thanks Mr. Turner, it was nice of you to let us look around so thoroughly!

@buckshotcake706 8 лет назад

Jerry Turner has hundreds of classic cars and antique motorcycles that have been stashed for decades. Dozens of old Harleys, British bikes, and others. He was a good friend of my dad's.He lost a bunch of beautiful cars and motorcycles to a fire a few years ago. He told the fire dept. "let the house burn, but save those barns!"

@MrGTO-ze7vb 7 лет назад

LOL.. Great to see Jerry.!!!! Every car collector in Cal knows Turners.!! Right off of hwy 99. I found an original 1969 GTO Judge RAIV in a Fresno truck junk yard in 1989.

@indiandennisamerican9311 3 года назад

Jerry Turner is one of our elder Indian Motorcycle buddies and came to our annual Indian gatherings every year and even hosted some of them at his Bass Lake get away. He rides a short frame Chief and always wins the slow race at our field events . I enjoyed seeing him in this video and yes he is a very nice fellow.

@ulpilotrmh 5 лет назад

The real treasure you found is Turner himself.

@davenettlesmusic2954 3 года назад

For sure. Use to go out there with Corky Fortney when I worked for their shop in Fresno.

@patpannelle9419 5 лет назад

In regards to the 57 Chevy. You could have gotten a six, a v8 with a two barrel carb, or a v8 with a four barrel carb with dual exhaust which was known as a Power Pac. Then for extra an coast you could order a Chevy with a 245 HP Corvette engine with 2x4s, dual point dist., double diaphragm fuel pump and a stock cam and hydraulic lifters, or a 270 Corvette engine which was the same as the 245 engine except it had solid lifters with a high lift Duntov cam. You could also order a Fuel Injected Corvette engine. At the age of 18 I ordered a Bel-Air with the 245 then a year later installed the Duntov cam which I bought over the counter at the Chevy garage for $25. I paid $250 extra for the 245 engine when ordering the car. Took delivery on 24-May-1957. Sold the vehicle on 19-July 2015. A lot of great memories made in a historical time period.

@ross2812 4 года назад

3:35 I owned a '78 Lancia Beta Coupe. It was a fun and unique car that drew a lot of attention. This is the first time I've seen one since I sold mine 33 years ago. Also, I bought Tom's first book through seller Motorbooks International in a magazine ad.

@PeterS-sx9ck 6 лет назад

Jerry was the nicest guy around. He had ne'er do well employees who he coaxed into being solid citizens. If one got drunk and failed to show up for work, Jerry would sit down the next day and quietly discuss how the ne'er-do-well's mother needed the income and how he needed to sober up and show up for work for the sake of mom. No yelling or screaming (that I ever saw), just quiet compassion for guys who were trying to do better under Jerry's tutelage. each employee was given a stripped down car (no hood, doors, trunklid) with a set of tools to search out the needed parts. I needed a drive shaft bearing for my 61 Cadillace and I remember Jerry telling his boys to fetch a "mid-ship" bearing for a 61. I usually got to ride out with the employee (Jerry kind of liked me). What a trip!

@phillipwashburn2424 7 лет назад

I took my driver EDUCATION classes in a 65 Ford Galaxy ( blue) ,I graduated in 1967 ! Thanks Tom, I really enjoy the show.

@betosworld7006 8 лет назад

Great video. My first car was a 57 Chevy Bel Air hardtop. Paid $150.00 for it in 79 running condition.. Then bought 2 more for parts cars. This video brought back some great memories...... Loved them cars .Heavy but a lot of fun.

@actthree34 7 лет назад

I know this is all pre-planned and setup in advance, but Tom's approach is exactly on target: Get up and find something that you can bring back This series makes internet TV worth watching.

@williamchoate8199 7 лет назад

I used to go there to Turner's back in the 80's when my 67 Firebird or 70.5 Camaro Z28 needed something. Jerry Turner not only sold parts, but he gave me some pointers I will never forget.

@FRDMLIBERTY 6 лет назад

WOW Turner's looks GREAT!!

That place is awesome! you need to make a 90 minute episode on this one place. Also, I would love to see this show have 30-40+ minute episodes on the regular. Awesome show, I love it.

I crashed a plane in Turner's back in the early 80's Jerry and I tried to hide it in the hangar before the FAA showed up (a concerned citizen called them) They got there just as we were pushing it in . Years later I told my daughter that I hit a Studebaker with my plane and she asked "what was a Studebaker doing up in the air?"

Great show, wow, those type of aerial shots have added so much to almost every type of show, tremendous perspective on the property as it relates to its surroundings, seeing the farm fields butting up next to 70 acres of metal, absolutely awesome!

@CaliforniaCarSafari 8 лет назад

Love the videos! I do the same thing in Southern California and recently uncovered an old 63 Impala, a 69 Mustang Mach 1 and a 57 fuel injected Chevy that was sitting in a barn for decades. Southern California is full of treasures. Good luck!

@willyboy6126 8 лет назад

Love it! Great series and awesome to see these barn finds. I loveeeed that '57 Chev near the end. Never got the answer if that was for sale or what he was asking for it...a real beaut! . Yes, Mr. Turner sure is a nice man and his prices were more than fair. He's certainly a breath of fresh air and others can learn a thing or two from him. Definitely subscribing to this channel. Even though I am not mechanically inclined, I do appreciate all the fine automobiles of yesteryear. They are beautiful, stylish and certainly made better than the cookie-cutter cars of today. Cheers from British Columbia, Canada :D

@willyboy6126 8 лет назад

...Comment revision: After reading all the comments, I read that a guy who knows Jerry, said that the '57 Cevy was his son's car...and that it was not for sale. I can certainly appreciate and understand the sentimentality he has...sure is a GORGEOUS & fine automobile! :D

@DBKTube 6 лет назад

My dad bought a 48 Jeepster in the 50s and we kept it in the family for 30 years. The flathead 4 was first replaced by a 312 Thunderbird V8, but it was just too much. So in went a 265 Chevy V8, and it was just right! Just as they said it was a great family car, convertible and fun. Notice the step in front of the rear fender, used to jump directly into the back seat. When we got to high school age, my older brother got the Jeepster, but it was OK cause I got the 58 Dodge short bed step side pickup my dad put the 318 V8 in. Had to put a 12" wide x 1/4" thick channel iron bumper on it to hold the rear end down, an epic bumper that got respect from tailgaiters!

@garthlocklin6355 8 лет назад

That was an awesome car hunting video and your right; Mr. Turner was reasonable in his pricing and easy to talk to.

@thexoftexas4267 7 лет назад

The 57 Chevrolet brings back old memories. That one is a carbon copy of my first car, color, body style, motor, & trans. I believe the color was called sierra gold and a power pack 283 was a 4 barrel, dual exhaust and bigger heads indicated by the triangle marking on the end of the head. A two barrel carb was the standard 283. The 2 four barrel motor was rated at 270 HP, the FI was rated at 283 HP. Don't remember the other HP ratings. Nice car and thanks for the memories.

@Miminite 6 лет назад

Great video series, I love seeing what he discovers. A small nit - a 352 is not a Y block, it is in the FE family. There was another video where Tom was looking at a Edsel that had a 400 and he made the same mistake. Not a biggy as many confuse the engine families. But Tom, if you read this, please note the difference. The Y blocks started in '54 and ended by '62 or 3. FEs started in '58 and went to '76, with the most famous engines being the 390, 427 side oiler, and 428.

@dalemettee1147 3 года назад

Tom, I know that you're interested in VW's. and Pintos. I had a 1970 Pinto two door and one of the things that I found interesting is the fact that the distributor on the 2.0 LTR was the same as on the VW. When I bought points, rotor and cap, they were the same P/N as the VW. BTW, that engine was VERY strong. Shifted it when it wouldn't go any faster in that gear.
