Finally! Collectors who look after, drive, and share their cars instead of letting them rot in forgotten selfish hoarding decrepitude. Respect.

These guys are the perfect custodians for these cars, thanks lads

My idea of heaven! I'm from England but grew up reading up on and pawing over photos of American cars in books and magazines. You guys knew how to build cars, and it's easy for people to forget today the influence that American automotive styling had on the products of other countries. Despite Europe having smaller roads and damaged economies after WW1 and 2, I think that the working relationship and ownership that GM, Ford and later and briefly Chrysler had with European operations worked incredibly well. There may be exceptions, but I think overall the balance between the American HQs and the domestic management of Vauxhall, Opel, Ford of Britain and Germany and Rootes and Simca was spot on.

I restored a Pontiac GTO The Judge from 1968 20 years ago. The car was in a garage for over 20 years when we found him, had only a few miles, the car was the only GTO sold in Biel (Switzerland) to a General Motors dealer from Bellach. The car should be in a warehouse somewhere in Bettlach today. I worked on this GTO all summer, it was an honor for me.

They have one heck of a collection. Seem like nice people too.

It's a really good day when we meet people with good attitudes. It's an awesome day when they share their badass cars with us too. :-) thank you Tom

That T/A is to die for. Thanks for the trip back to my teen years. Awesome vehicles!

That Trans Am is INCREDIBLE! My God I'd love to own that car. Great collection guys :)

It's going to be a great day anytime there's a new Barn Find Hunter episode. Thanks! I have posted on prior videos, "well you can't top that" then you do it again and again.

OMG. So much sweetness in one place. Just one of these would make my year.......

This is my favorite episode yet. I love seeing owners who understand that while rare, their cars are still meant to be driven.

My Daddy raised me to be a "gearhead" just like he was. All of these cars bring back such memories! First car he bought me was a brown Ford Maverick when I first learned to drive in '78. Can't recall what year that car was. He also bought me a sweet Ford "Gran Torino" Same color as the Torino you featured on Preston's episode! The year of that one had to be close to the Torino you featured! Some years later, I fell in love with and purchased a 76 Firebird which had been transformed into a one of a kind Firebird. 400 automatic, Riverside Red was the color. It had Corvette rims. The "Firebird" on the hood was airbrushed! It featured all kinds of really special details! I loved that car!!! I zoomed around in it for a long time! Then, my dad stored it in his garage for me when I wanted to galavant across the world After he passed, nobody knew what ever became of that beauty!

It's official Tom has the greatest job on the planet

Those are some great cars! Thanks for sharing!

ALL i can say is wow .And it's nice to see that they drive them..what a collection in Alaska

Just gonna walk right past the 67 GTO then? Fine, I see how it is

This has to be one of my favourite episodes by far, some amazing muscle there on show. These guys are a credit to finding and looking after these rare cars and preserving their history.

This is the fasted 27 minutes I sat through in a long time, I was hooked on every aspect of this video, great video and well worth the trip to Alaska

Thanks to Preston and Terry for saving these cars and sharing them with us all, esp TC himself - truly awesome!
