HUGE Hemi Stash, Fonzie's Motorcycle, and George DeLorean's RARE Hot Rod Coupe | Barn Find Hunter

stop them. How are the floors and stuff? so, uh, the floors on that one are great, this one I have a donor car from Arizona that someone cut the back off to make a couch, so I have a full floor for that, I just have to take it to my manufacturer. Wow, is something going to jump out from under these cars? I can't guarantee that I've only been bitten once in this room. Oh wow, it only has air conditioning. I mean, look how elaborate. I think the 61 uh G has air. This one looks like me and I don't know you, maybe you can help me.

It looks like it could have been installed by the dealer. I'm not sure they both have air, although it's

rare

for these to have air with only 337's being made of convertibles, I don't normally think they put air in convertibles. I think they averaged 10 U cars. Every 10th car had that year, with this model it had air conditioning again. We talk about unnecessary lines. You know, it took time and ultimately it cost money. Bead and roll these rib lines into the boot, but it was an exercise in style. They did in this car what they didn't do in this car.

The same designer was involved in both Virgil XO cars, of which Mick is a real enthusiast again, It has the wings on the back slightly different, it has poet taillights. horizontal taillights, cool stuff, man I'm always afraid of something coming out of me. I mean, this looks like a Star Trek dashboard, so check out that look at the speedometer cluster above the steering wheel, it would all make sense if you were sitting down. there and you can see the gauge and then you see the button, uh transmission shift, that's how you shift the car, put it in Drive, put it in the first second in reverse, Park neutral, now these will have the three speed torque flight and the first two.

We looked at the 300b, the 56 and the 55 C300, those have a very complete car, but that's the first one I take out and run the transmission and while the transmission is being rebuilt, I go up to the body. and start it up, yeah, these cars can't do well sitting in an environment like this, you know, this reviewer is living here, is there something in there, oh, you know, they're fine, you sure are for the boys, I'm wow, then. Here's the same car we just saw there, the 392 Hemi. I want to get this one in black primer.

Make the body work well. Check the transmission. This I want to be my daily driver. This is a 300 again. This other 300. a 57 392 Hemi there we go there we go now this has the air filters okay, so it has a Hemy with yes, the same thing only it has the original air filters for the hair the Batwing right, yes, a little funky, I like the Batwing Better, but this has power steering, probably has boosted brakes, but no air conditioning. This is the most common um 300 that we have and they made 1918. I've never looked inside this one, we can look. together hey look at that so here we go this is my favorite body style.

When you look at the front of these, it looks like it's going to climb onto another car and bite the entire rear section off. You know what's weird? You have red. on the door sills here, but there's turquoise over there, yeah, and you know what, and then there's, but it's supposed to be a black car according to the guy I bought it from, painted several times, everything's a Bit confusing, but it goes. to be a black car when I get it I'll put it in satin black and drive it and everyone will wonder what the hell it is.

I love that now that it's a car, there's just a little story about it, we have all of these. '62s, this was a guy who bought this for me to be a real parts car, learon body, yeah, and I have three of those. The thing about this car is that the engine was missing, so I bought it for a real parts car, maybe, huh. The engine was out and I bought this car and about 2 weeks later a friend of mine invited me to go to the Chrysler Muse Chrysler Museum and by invitation I went in there and they had a 4113 twin cross ram model on display. and I knew the owner of this was a good friend of the president, one of the presidents of Chrysler Corporation, so I went back and asked him.

I told him where the engine he says is in the Chrysler Museum is from, so it only took me about 2 weeks to

find

it. I told the guard that I think they took my engine and I want to put it back in my car, so I'm going to paste this here. 1 2 3 4 five 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 about 18 feet long this is not your Miata I'll tell you no, you put two Miatas in one trunk so okay, what do we have here? Well it was supposed to be a car that I was going to cannibalize to fix that C300 that's in it but it's too good to do that it's also a 1955 Chrysler St Reges it has the little Hemi in it the 331 however it doesn't have dual quads but It's too good a car to cut so I have this and there are some things I can.

I'll change parts of it but I can't take apart a car this nice, yes it's an Arizona car. Look here again before we talk. about there being a shifter, the transmission lever actually sticks out of the dash and you can see it pretty easily here, it's not a floor shift, it's not a column shift, it's not a push button shift, but a dash change so it's a pretty solid car so listen up. Okay, here we have a car that's 70, almost 70 years old, oh, that's interesting because it says New Yorker, this is Newport and it's a St Reges in the title, you know, they took a piece of trim and put another one on top of it.

Okay, I have my daughter's car here and she is waiting for me to put in dual master cylinders. I'm glad I received help. She would never go in there. Okay, this is a Crown Imperial 61 uh or 62. Sorry now. is what you saw in the parking lot, this one is in better condition, wow, this is very nice, my daughter calls this 2 and a half tons of driving pleasure, wow, this is the one I wanted, it had two master cylinders, this one is what he said. if the brakes came off she'd just scream forward and jump, but wow look at this, I love this fancy lettering here, this is like I told you, I showed you before, we're talking about um, Sparrow's forced taillights, well , this is kind of a corresponding headlight, if you think about a '36 Ford or any model from the '30s and '20s, there were separate headlights, this was the one from Chrysler and Virgil Exner, uh, designed to bring this type of headlight early, no Integrated into the fender, separate headlight to bring and place in a modern car. quite, quite bold and it worked, I mean, this sculpted area here of white sheet metal is actually quite beautiful and easy to wash there, you know, I wash my own cars.

I wonder if you restored this or bought it? No, uh, I bought this for the price of a paint job I was restoring for her, so I changed them, covered it and then let her figure it out and noticed it was done, so it's too much fun, so I did it. memory. The steering wheels on these cars were kind of a rectangular shape, they weren't round and I haven't seen that in a long time, but there it is, it's a simple 413 carburetor, so here's the push button transmission again. You see neutral, drive one, two and back up.

It's been an amazing afternoon hanging out with this guy. We had only met by phone. It has been fascinating the buildings that you restore, the houses, the

barn

s, moving them to a place. You love it. history and it's obvious that you love architectural history and automotive history, so I want to thank you, Fork, for taking your afternoon to show us what a fun day I've been having forever, guys, you're welcome back any time. I'll try to get more cars just to bring you back and let me tell you, you might see an episode or two of Will It Run or Redline rebuilds about Mick and some of his cars, so happy manhunting.
