In hopes of finding more youthful barn finds, Tom heads south to Atlanta, GA, to meet up with an old friend and co-inventor of the Hans Device, Jim Downing.
Awesome video! And so true as a member of the younger generation I appreciate 1939 Ford's and old classics but the retro 80s and late 70s to me is my favorite! I daily drive my 1988 Supercharged MR2 while in college and it's a blast! Slowly putting it all back to it's former glory. So much fun working on these old cars I'd love to work in the automotive restoration business someday.
I'm in the same boat I found a car that has been sitting for the last 29 years with the same owner since 1978.with only thirty-seven thousand miles on it this Dodge Challenger was a unique find still came with the build sheet that's original 440 Magnum and original transmission matching numbers engine and the big 440 power. All with this original documentation dating back to the day that it was made on May 5th 1970
People in the South East are car savvy you will not really find any cars from the 50s and 60s setting around if you do the owner knows what he has and what it is worth.
Thank you!!! Loved this epdisode. The RX7 is my all time favorite EVER!!! I once owned an 1984 blue RX7. Ran away successfully from Miami police twice. This was a fantastic find and share. Then the Datsuns!!! Awesome!
Wow wish i lived closer so I could visit those young guys with the Z's. I in Australia and have a 73 240Z but someone thought it was a good idea in the 80's to put a sunroof in it. Parts are really hard to find over here and I've been looking for a good roof turret for the last 4 years but can't find any. Has someone got their contact details so I can find out if they would sell one of theirs and freight it to Australia. I know freight will be a killer but I really want the sunroof gone.
Nice to see these cars are being brought back to their former glory. Mazda and Datsun were great little sports cars, and lots of fun to drive for the price. Thanks for sharing !
