All classic cars, not just muscle cars, are becoming increasingly valuable in the transition to the electric age where we will no longer hear the pistons of a V8 engine or shift gears in an elegant compact car. Determined people are saving them from rusty fates and restoring and selling them so that they may carry on more dutiful service, and some people like Auto Archaeology’s Ryan Brutt on YouTube are documenting the kinds of cars still out there.
Some are rusting into the ground in distant fields while some are in lying away in barns and garages. However, today there’s a group of cars hiding in the forest and there’s hope for possible restorations as they’re all for sale.
The Forest Of Classic Car Barn Finds With Some Real Icons
Ryan starts shooting in his inimitable style with the voice-over explaining what he’s seeing; or in some cases, he’s guessing as the exact models often aren’t clear.
Today’s his lucky day, too, as he spots one of his favorites and a car that he really wants to buy: a 1964 Mercury Comet 4-door that looks great sitting in the shade. Unfortunately for Ryan though, today he can’t buy anything as he’s traveling only.
There is also a circa-‘64 Ford Falcon and after looking under the hood our host suspects it’s a small-block 289-ci motor hanging out. Nearby, a rusty red Ford Rancher GT is also hanging out, a car that has a similar ‘ute’ body style to the oft-cited Chevrolet El Camino.
