Corvette powered VW Pickup and an Ed Roth Hot Rod | Barn Find Hunter - Ep. 54

This is one series that will never get boring for me. Even as a younger guy, I find older cars much more interesting.

RIP Dewayne Neilson of Saint George. Thanks for all the help. You were one hell of a body man and a good teacher!!

Tom Cotter has the dream job of the century! VINTAGE CARS RULE!

So far this is my favorite one to actually see Ed Roth detailing in the back of that car it's mind-blowing thank you for all the videos that you do for everyone we really appreciate it

Every episode should end like this one - engines 'a runnin'! There are only three channels on YouTube where I watch every minute. Another great one!

That Woody Tom drives is so amazing, looks like the perfect car to enjoy on a cross country trip. Also great episode, these truly never get old!

Mike seemed tentative at first, but what a gracious guy to show you all his treasures. I was looking forward to seeing the engine in the back of that VW pickup.

A Corvette powered vw, seems dangerous. I like it.

That woody gives me a... big smile! Beautiful! I always tell my Combi van owning mate to put a Japanese motor in his rattler. Here in Australia there’s a strong brigade of Volkswagen lovers who will tell you how durable their rattle-traps are and how often they’ve been around Aus but when you ask them how many motors they’ve been through, the truth starts forming. And don’t ask them what running repairs they’ve made unless you’ve got the rest of the afternoon to hear the answer. Were Volkswagens ever really durable? Because in the hot weather and rough conditions we have over here they don’t go well at all. Big mining companies don’t send their people across Australia in British, European, American or Australian cars if they want them to live!

I love the radial T/A's on the van - straight out of the 70's - 80's.

I was fortunate enough to have met ans spend more than hour talking with Ed Roth baxk in my early twenties. Great guy to chat with. Just sweet as could be but smoked like each one was his last.

That van is the nuts!!!!

If that van could talk, actual running cars, what a great episode!

tom, man what a life, i just sold the same truck to my buddy same colors ,tranny but my dad put on a period correct flat bed with the new wood kit and removeable side rails, big window with all the extra chrome made some big fat smoothies for the back did the seat and door panels and it has a modified air tank from a pete so you can move people out of the way when they get too close with the pete air horn under the hood with the botton on the floor. it was really nice to see that truck, my friend livesw in the next town so i see it quite often ,my dad has been gone for four years now i shure miss him, he would of LOVED your shows. i still have his 55 bel air two door hard top ,power brakes and a wonderbar that still works. he brought it home in 62 and i got here in 63 its a pretty nice car, every day driver if you ever make it to central calif i expect to hear from or see you , i can take you to see 3 or 4 days worth of cars ,trucks, or even nice v drive boats at least 10 of them, i do enjoy very much every eppisode of your production and haggerty is awesome thankyou for all you do every one is top notch and i always cannot wait for the next one! keep it up there are none better god bless peace njpiii

Tuff search but Tom doesn't disappoint! The Coyote with a period correct metal flake paint job would be awesome!

One of my favorite channels. Old muscle car guy from the 60's. Never know what Tom will find.

Great find!!! If I was a rich man, I'd make you an offer you couldn't refuse for that beautiful 40 Woody. Thanks for sharing !

Tom, you are a legend!

What a cool guy. Love the stories attached to these old cars.

so enjoy watching people who have such a passion for cars and are lucky enough to be able to indulge that passion.
