Hagerty’s Barn Find Hunter series on YouTube never ceases to surprise us. This time around, they’ve visited St. George, a town in Utah, to check out a group of shops and their unique projects.
The first person host Tom Cotter gets the pleasure of talking to is Marty, the owner of a body shop business. Marty purchased a Corvair Greenbriar off of Craigslist eight years ago, and just recently decided to start restoring it. The flat-six engine has been rebuilt, and any rust on the van has been repaired—being a California car from new, there wasn’t much to be found. Cotter then gets a tour of a one-family-owned 1957 Buick Roadmaster in the middle of a restoration. It has its original engine, but a fire put it off the road.
The coolest car featured in this episode, though, is a fiberglass replica of a Cisitalia 202, a small Italian coupe built in extremely low numbers. The car in this video was dug out of a garage, and once used half of a Duesenberg straight-eight engine (yes, a Duesenberg engine sliced into a four-cylinder) to compete at Bonneville. It’s built on a custom tube frame that weighs almost nothing, and is currently being restored by the owner, who plans on taking it vintage racing. We salute him.
