Tri-power Oldsmobile Super 88 and forgotten cars that must go! | Barn Find Hunter - Ep. 59

seen outside, so there's a car right there like a 49 50 51 Ford, you could tell fifty by the chrome strip on the side. 49 and 50 did not have that strip and because it is made of copper. color, this could be Victoria, let's see, oh, it's a convertible, so 51 convertible, that's cool, that's amazing, oh yeah, well, because that car is indoors, even though it's a convertible, this thing could still be a car pretty solid, good stuff, another car here, oh so look, here it is. a liner son so this is a 52 53 54 Ford convertible this is a Sun Liners take a look here liner son take a look well how did you get there?

I've never seen this open car 52 53 or 54 Ford convertible okay and That's a 51 for convertible back there okay wow looks like T-birds is another one yeah the most popular one. Did you spot that one on the front? Carolina left Cadillac Cadillac, yes, seven, okay, so this was the car that was next to the house, yes. This is the oldest t-bird. I guess so. It's like a 58 yes to tell everyone about this car because he's going to fix it and they actually put air in the tires and they were interested in what kind of wheel it is like a Volkswagen, so, Whose bill is filled out in front, he's my dad, he's one of my dad's best friends and he'll pick this part, oh yeah, I gave it to him, yeah, so what's in this building here?

Oh, look at old Erbil, that's a car that's the cherry on top. Wow and there's a couple next door we should actually go that way oh yeah oh this is like that baby over there Wow convertible how long has it been here since the 70's hmm it's a valve job he always said he was going to do a valve job and omg guys thank you. God, these guys just dug this whole thing up, it's completely covered, thank you, yeah, thank you, whatever it is, she's paying you double. Wow, so you

must

have a good option. I think we're good with Jay fifty-six of the three-year-old Jays, but he has a tri

power

owner if this is it.

God, it has tri

power

done, absolutely sacred Detroit Institute of Technology Detroit Technology 1891, so this has tripower, it was like a hot rod of the time, probably one of the most expensive performance

cars

you could buy at the time, which was? a big luxury v8 convertible probably had dual exhaust triple power and all the accessories power steering brakes maybe it has air conditioning who knows, did your dad ever drive this car? Yes, my mom drove it, my dad drove it. Wow, let's open the door and take a look at another family car, look at that, look at that, look at the gauge, if you just look at the gauge over there, it has a spherical look a lot like the taillights that are on the car, all that chrome. in the... then the odometer reads 17,000. 778 could be, but I guess there's a 1 in front of that, so yeah, well this is definitely the car from the other day so far, boy, oh boy, I mean, look at that.

Wow, yeah, that's good, is there a car here? there's there's a Mercedes 53 get a Mercedes pon pon Anton it's fine there today under here and it's a beautiful car it's my favorite car on the lot yeah I'm not American I'm not the American Grom the German girl yeah I love that Mercedes there's a car right here and there's the windshield I think what is this? You imagine there is a mini ticket. I'll tell you, he knows exactly what's underneath. It's a roadster. I am pretty sure. Yes, I could. Tell the windshield yeah, I'm pretty sure the roadsters are here and he buried it so no one could see it because he got really paranoid at the end of his time here, uh, let me

find

Bill because he'll know this is a Phaeton, hey Bill. what's here this is called the Phaeton it's a touring car it's for a big four seater it's not the Roadster so because it's recoverable the Roadster hit a noisy seat in a row yes my mom always talked about it it's here somewhere Wow I mean, someone could call this a roadster.

I'm guessing it's pretty cool, so it's probably a 2006 or '27 Ford. I'm sure they could polish this up. The paint doesn't even look bad. God, now I feel like I'm invited. to a family reunion, I mean, we look for exactly the right time to be here, where all the relatives come here to decide what to do with the

cars

, yeah, so the really difficult ones that we saw outside, most of them are probably just good for parts. but some inside the other shed and this shed, which are pretty special, this is Oza Bill's, who's on the moon, all Zobel is, oh, you've got the hood open, look at this, there you go, three Carters, two barrels I guess Carter is there. special so far i mean this is one of the special cars in this whole group that was found luckily it wasn't stored outside or under a shed it's in a real garage and it's a pretty dry garage.

I'm going to give you the value of this car as estimated by Haggerty's value guide here current historical values ​​this is a 1957 it will always be a

super

ad a two door convertible what it has is called the j2 Performance Package engine package so that the standard engine was 275 horsepower I think 277 horsepower this engine because it has triple power was boring it has a higher compression ratio which is 300 horsepower and that zero to 60 time was nine seconds or less so in good condition our number four is worth thirty-five thousand four hundred dollars a good one. The condition of the car is fifty-six thousand five hundred dollars, excellent condition or value number two, eighty thousand two hundred, and if it were a condition of contest, one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars, on top of that, you can add another fifteen percent because it has that performance package that costs alone. eighty-two dollars to buy that performance package when the car was new but it's worth a lot more than eighty-two dollars now it was this so this was the factory hot rod it was was a luxury car it was a convertible it had all the power accessories and it had those speed parts so I would say in this condition it's probably somewhere between number four and number three you're getting it out of this garage washing it, vacuuming it, shampooing the carpets, cleaning the seats, washing the press the landing gear under the hood.

The running of this car is probably in the number three or four range, so I'd say somewhere between thirty-five thousand and fifty-six thousand, I guess, and maybe even more because from what we hear it's not restored, I don't see any evidence. been painted, so if it's original paint and the mileage is seventeen thousand and not one hundred and seventeen thousand, then it's probably even more, it's probably worth more than a good car because the cars stored underneath are disproportionately more valuable than the restored ones. cars, if they are in very good condition, I would like to see if we can somehow take a look at that Mercedes here.

Can you see anything? Look at that man clean as a whistle. Regional Jack, not Regional Jack, what was this? no, the wheel wrench lifts the jack, yeah, look how clean it is, Mercedes, the rubber, the tires are still soft, so you know that for the readers who are trying to figure out what we're doing here, the viewers , this rubber is still soft, so this. The trunk of this car has been tight, we usually open these things in these nests of rats and dirt, look how clean it is, the rubber is still soft, the mats are perfect, there's the serial number on the mat, right there , if you dont do it.

I need it a new mat, you just go to Mercedes-Benz in the past and there's the number, it's got the jack, it's got the wheel wrench, spare tire, of course, there's probably tools under one of these, but it's because that our Mercedes-Benz was a special car and had cost a lot of money because 70 or so years later you are going to open and it still looks like this, so we can follow you to your house and see what else there is sure here we go to the location to continue Now we're at Amy's dad's house, which was, you know, a 10-minute drive from where we work and there are more vehicles here in this garage.

I was told here, so I guess she should help her open this door. Oh, wow, more, okay. Then I see an old windshield that looks like a Model A. Okay, yeah, it's a four-door. I think this is one of those Murray bodies, so this is one of the first. It's a 29 or 30. I think I mean a 28 or 29. Well, yeah. Is this true, this is a blue car for Ford or if it's true, the last time I was on the road in 1956, I mean, you know, for a guy who likes

barn

find

s, days like today are very rare, only happened a few times in his career.

I've been to a couple of events with me like this, this is pretty good, I couldn't see a bit more of this, just pretty good, solid, ok interestingly this model has mag wheels inside, here's a second one, there's an et deep. cupped aluminum slotted wheel and there, a Creager looks like a Krieger charger, but it looks like an American wheel torque pusher, what are they doing here? I don't know, maybe this was going to be a hot rod at some point, oh look This is a hmm model, this is a really old model, a truck or a really late Model T.

I say it's a Model A and it has 35 Ford wheels. Yes, it's not a model. Yeah, I'd say it's probably a 28 oh no. it's sunken so it has a floor shifter, some T's had floor shifters and also all three pedals. Yes, this is a very early model, so the Model A's were built between 1928-31 and the Model T was produced. It stopped at 27, so there's a pickup truck and then there's a hmm model, engine hood with a Model T chassis, but it doesn't have a body. We didn't know this existed yesterday mmm. 24 hours ago we discovered this place and did some kind.

Through some quick detective work, we discovered the people involved trying to clean up the property and who owned it and his daughter, and now here we are. I mean, this probably worked easily. 40 cars we've seen, most of them are junk. sitting outside, the ones that are undercover are a little better, the ones in the garages are pretty good and that Oldsmobile convertible, the Mercedes are Wow, you know, and here we are five miles from the world headquarters of Haggerty's headquarters in Traverse City, Michigan, there's no reason it shouldn't be. mother charges like this five miles from where you are now happy hunting
