Barn Finds

It needed a new clutch slave. And what I did notice is it did have a collector's steering wheel, so the actual price that was asking was pretty much equivalent to what that steering wheel is worth. And with the motor running, I thought, okay, I'm not going to get burnt on this. So why don't I go ahead and purchase it and kind of had an idea in my head of what I could do to fix it up

Alright Phil, this is so so cool. And I'm wondering if there's any way that I can start doing. Barn Hastings, I guess, is what you would call it. The problem that I'm finding is in California in particular, which is where I think live in the major Metropolitan areas. These sorts of things are basically non existent and when you find them, they tend to be priced up the you know what I feel like?

How I came to find barn finds.

And he thought, hey, I think there is a business aspect here. I think we can buy some of these classic cars and resell them. And he showed me there's this old Plymouth that sold for $2,000 in the morning. He said, look at this one for sale. He's like, it's sold. And then by 06:00 that night, it was relisted for $2,000 more

Drive slow and keep your eyes open - even in LA

Yeah, barn finds have become super popular. If you watch any of the car shows on YouTube and start following that stuff, you'll see tons of shows on barn finds. And the trend that I've been watching lately is finding an old car either in a junkyard or in a lot or in a barn. And there's guys that will go out there and get it running and drive it home
