It is not anything rare, just a custom done Vette.

Yes, the entire story they made up about the cars. They are not barn finds, there are a few that have been sitting a few years. But when I saw them in 2014 most had been out and about at Car Shows within a year or two.

It just sucks when people make up stuff to draw peoples eyeballs to stuff. The actual story of the guys collection is cool, they didn't have to embellish it to draw in people. But they have to make every story bigger, better and bestest to top the last one.

Ryan, who embellished the story... the car collection owner or the person producing the video?

It's the video people. When I met the couple in 2014 they were very different in their mannerisms and such. I'm guessing they were coached or something. Very nice, down to earth people that are more than happy to talk about their collection. But they were all nice, running driving cars. Some had been sitting, but most were at car shows and such recently.

Now could they have been sitting for 4 years, possibly. But things look different then when I was there.

I don't understand the criticism. Tom Cotter is a great guy and this is by far the best episode of Barn Find Hunters to date. I don't see where he was representing this amazing collection as anything more than that.

I wonder who they have taking care of all those cars? I have about 8 cars and I don't have time to work on them all and give them proper attention. Many of these cars had flat tires, which tells me they have been sitting for awhile. Most looked to be in pretty good condition and well cared for.

Awesome collection,you can tell by the diversity that he just loves the automobile. He seemed to know alot about the cars and what he has. Being born in 1970 what was the relationship between weekly pay say for a mechanic or body guy as opposed to what the cars sold for used in the seventies?
