Barn Find Hunter

Tom Cotter literally wrote the book(s) on barn finds, including the award-winning "In the Barn" series. Tom firmly believes that there are great classics to be found all over the country. Ride shotgun this season for our new series, "The Barn Find Hunter," in which Tom travels the country in his '39 Ford Woodie seeking out forgotten treasures. We're pleased to share the pilot episode, and we'd love your feedback, especially your recommendations for cities Tom should visit next.

It was the first of it's kind to be sold in 1979. It was known as the world's best-selling car for much of that decade. By 1991, this Coupe was selling 500,000 units per year, making it the top-selling model in the United States, outselling the 399,000 Accords and 299,000 Taurus vehicles sold that year.

Take a look behind the scenes of "The Barn Find Hunter" as Tom Cotter searches for forgotten classics across the country.

Last summer, Tom Cotter discovered a 1957 Ferrari 250 GT Ellena that had been sitting, basically untouched, for more than 40 years. One of the Marchal fog lights on this beautiful car was broken when the owner mistakenly backed his truck into it many years ago. We brought that video to you this past January in Episode 23 of Barn Find Hunter. When viewer, hero, and all-around good guy Etienne Musslin of France saw the video, he contacted Tom and sent a replacement fog light completely free of charge! Tom has already given the light to the Ferrari's owner, and both of them pass along their gratitude to you, Etienne! Thanks so much!

Over the past five years, we have come across some remarkable cars and many of them paired with amazing stories. In celebration of the five-year mark, we decided to do a breakdown of Tom Cotter's Top Ten Barn Finds and you may be shocked by his selection.
