Forgotten warehouse full of cars must go! | Barn Find Hunter - Ep. 21

seems complete. The keys are in the ignition. For these

cars

, you can get spare parts for them. They are easy to maintain, reliable and fun to drive. It has a very well padded upper. It has a padded interior roof, which indicates that it is a good car to drive. You can drive in bad weather and you don't get wet or windy inside like a sports car. You could put the kids in the back seat. So VW convertibles are a very good way to have a sports car for minimal money and without a big burden in terms of maintenance and repairs.

Well, next in our selection of unfinished projects is a shoebox without a motor. Nova, looks like a '66, '67. - '66 SS. - SS, has late model Corvette wheels and rack and pinion steering. I noticed this thing has been modified somehow. I wonder if it has a separate rear? Son of a bitch, it has a separate Corvette rear end. Four-bar suspension in the rear here. Someone did a good job with this. It has reinforcements welded to the unibody. Ford A-arm suspension, has disc brakes. It looks like a pull up bar holder. It's a very good car.

It's a Corvette in Nova clothes. It could be a good car. Wow, just put a healthy little 327 in there or LS. So this is a Brooklyn S1? - SV1. - SV1. - Safety Vehicle 1. - Safety Vehicle 1. And these are made by a guy named Malcolm Bricklin who made a name for himself in the automotive industry by bringing Subaru to the United States 45 years ago or something like that. Little Subaru 360s. Tiny little

cars

, and when people weren't buying them, they turned them into buggies and you could rent them, you put them in first gear and you could race them around the buggy tracks and race these Subarus because you couldn't sell them. them in another way.

Then he built his own car and this is the SV1, made of fiberglass. You can see that the problem with these cars is that the fiberglass delaminates and begins to warp with temperature, which is why these gullwing doors begin to lift. Ironically, it is a safety car. It was supposedly built with internal roll cages and a very strong structure, but if it were on the roof, I don't know how to get out of this car because the gullwing doors have to go up. If it's on the roof they can't go up. Funny story about Bricklin, a friend of mine in North Carolina, Phil Barringer, got some extra money when they were being built and he told his new wife, "honey, we should go broke buying that car because it'll be worth a lot." money someday that we can't lose." So you bought the car new, it still has 30 miles left on it and you still have the same wife, but you still have this car in the garage and you can't get what you paid for it new 40 years ago, so They never really went anywhere.

That's a pretty nice thing. They have a bad habit of rusting. It looks like it would be a fiberglass car, but it's actually metal. We can't

find

a license plate here. list the year of the car, but it's probably a '74, '75, I'm not really an expert on the years of these cars. The Volkswagen things are great cars, they really aren't, but they have a body. Most Dune Buggies are fiberglass, this one is metal, so they are very prone to rust. This one looks to be in incredibly good condition. It appears to have new paint underneath these layers of dust.

It has all the side curtains, I guess it's a convertible top and seats here. It has an engine, which I assume is the original engine. It has a VW engine and is absolutely complete with all air filters and hoses. It seems to be a good car. I would own this car. I mean, except for this dent that probably occurred during storage, the body looks solid, complete, and well painted all around. Hagerty's stock guide teaches us a few things about the Volkswagen Thing. I said they only did it for two years, well they did it from '71 to '75, so they did it for five years.

It was called type 181 and was an updated version of the German military Kübelwagen. So if this car were in good condition, which it is far from it, it would be worth $33,700. If you think about it, if you found a version of this on the forecourt for $33,000, you could have something you could drive on the lawn of a car show and be proud of for just 33 grand. Fair condition is $10,400 and Good condition is $16,800, so I imagine this would be in Fair condition, $10,400. If it's complete, I bet it works, someone would get a good buy here for $10,000 or less.

So, we just saw what Bob has in this garage that now his wife Jean has to sell, but what is this I heard about another car? - Yes, there is another car in York about 20 minutes further, 15 minutes drive. - I don't even know what it is, I don't want to know. - Okay, we'll make it a surprise. - OK that's fine.
