Large Barn Find
« on: January 16, 2022, 11:22:27 AM »
This video just came on YouTube.  It's a huge barn find at a farm in Oklahoma.  NOS 68 and 69 Camaro and Chevelle parts, several 1969 Z28 cars, and more DZ blocks than I could count.  The parts were all purchased by Heartbeat City in Michigan.  Incredible stuff.

Does anyone know the story of the collector/original owner/farmer?  Did he pass away and family sold off his cars to HBC?
OR know when this video was made?

Hi, I am Peter Rose, its my YouTube video that has been posted. My YouTube channel is digitalpizza.
The man who owned the collection died in August of Covid. Very sad.
Brings home the fact that this disease needs to be taken seriously.
I don't want to be the one to share the identity of who or where it was to protect the privacy of his family.
I did not know him personally, but his family and the people who live in the area are wonderful people and my heart breaks for them.
I feel lucky to have been part of the story of preserving his dream and passion for these cars.

Thank you Peter.  Totally understandable not to expose the man's family.  I was curious if I'd ever known of him, since he obviously collected Camaros/Chevelles and their parts for many many years!

Even the travel part of your video was interesting showing the terrain changes from California to Oklahoma.. :)

My best friend Chuck Fisher has a large collection of cars and parts too and I work with him on projects. Cars are featured in Musclecar Review And I worked on them. I live my life as I always have. Shake hands, don't wear a mask unless sanding body filler. Don't wash my hands and touch food in the store. Pretty sure I had it and never got tested or vaccinated. Seems everyone freaks out if they have a sniffle.

Had a friend who had stage four inoperable brain cancer and was given 4 weeks to live. When he died he had covid so he was listed as a covid death. That is a joke. Sheeple.

I talked to a guy the other day who got a 67 Camaro 69 SS 350 Camaro, 65 Tri power 4 spd GTO, a couple of Superbee's 69 383- 70 440, vegas, novas, 10-A883 4 spd trans missions. chrysler? - more than 100 quadrajets 3- complete muncies besides the one in the camaro and I guess a muncie in the GTO... local guy I had never heard about.
He flipped the 2 camaros and most of the camaro parts before I got hooked up with him.

He picked the right one to keep.. Numbers matching 65 GTO tri power 4 spd - nightwatch blue over black buckets w/console
