The finds keep on coming in Midland, Texas, in this week's episode of Barn Find Hunter. A lunch conversation with a local man leads Tom to Jeff Roland, who, until several years ago, operated a Mustang restoration and repair shop. Having shifted the focus of his business, Jeff is eager to sell any of the 100-plus cars on his lot. Mustangs abound, including a rare K-code model, along with more Ford, Chevy, and GMC trucks than you can shake a stick at.

  • Great episode! And finally someone with good sense that instead of repeating "no, no, that's not for sale" (I just want to watch it rust into oblivion) the man actually uttered the most horrific words that a hoarder can imagine hearing, "everything's for sale". I love this guy!
  • That schoolbus is the coolest thing Ive ever seen in the 20 or so years Ive delt with cars

    Thanx sooo much,Tom !!! What a b-l-a-s-t that was.Totally enjoyed that yard. Mr. Roland was such a pleasure to listen to.

    Sometimes YouTube's related videos algorithm turns up real gems like this series. I raced through all 40 episodes and enjoyed everything. It is brilliant to see your little team exploring America and revealing this history and automotive charm that clings to existence despite all the regulations, real estate development and car crushers. I remember in the late 90's I found a website for an auto wreckers called Gilly's in Placerville, California which had pictures of some of their 800+ stock of cars. It closed down in 2001 and there's only a handful of cars now if any. Not sure if the rest were crushed or moved on. English scrap yards are becoming very rare and access to the remaining ones isn't as relaxed as some you've been to, but I guess that's an issue everywhere when you deal with different people. Your series is a delight to watch and makes me wish I was doing something similar. Cars have been my primary interest in life but I haven't been in the communities and I haven't involved or immersed myself as much as I wanted to. I spend all my spare money on storage for a few rescued classic cars that by most people's standards aren't important, but for me it doesn't have to be the top spec or the lowest production number. I loved almost every car you've shown in your 40 episodes and that includes ones that were just background to the feature cars. I love it if it's wrecked, rotten or mediocre, but I still appreciate a stunner when I see one. Thank you so much for a brilliantly produced series of superb quality and great interest. I am so impressed with Tom's knowledge and ability to talk to almost anyone. The filming, photography, locations and story are fantastic and I am already craving more.

    I think it would be a great idea to arrange another tour of that guy's yard, I bet there's more gems to uncover.
  • @richrejtmar466

  • WE WANT LONGER EPISODES! I go to Midland for work from time to time. There are some great finds!
  • @iansloan4261
    Just a joy to watch these videos. Every car is a historical marker and Tom's knowledge is encyclopedic. Can't wait for the next one!
  • That was great,skipin skool what a name for a rat rod bus,soooo kool. Jeff and his family are having so much fun. All the cars were great,just hated missing the ones in between. Thanks for another fantastic show.
  • I drooled at the 2:45 mark with that delivery van! That would make a cool tow vehicle for my travel trailer or my boat! The only problem is I'm too old anymore!
  • @chrisdrake7352
    This has been one of my favorite episodes. So much to see and the owner has such a laid back attitude! His demeanor and your knowledge make this very fun to watch. That rat rod “schoolie” is just killer as well!
  • @Vampirebear13
    Tom you need to apologize for the videos being too short NOT too long.This video could've been 2 hours long and I would've been riveted for every minute.
  • @PreGameler
    What a great life that man has 9 kids and cars and toys . 🙌🙌🙌🙌🇸🇪 awesome man 👍
  • @Mak-Daddy
    Whoever does your camera work is outstanding. He/She deserves a raise. Seriously great content. Consider me sub'd
  • @SuperAfranks
    My favorite show yet!! So much coolness and personality and the only 4 letter word was CARS. Nice job guys.
  • This is a great episode! The Rat Rod bus on the caption got my attention. Then it just got better every minute. It’s amazing all the really good looking finds he has in the yard. All the panel trucks, the fire engine, the Ford wagon, Land Rover and so on. Then I saw the Johnson outboard jutting into view while they were walking by the Gremlin. The aluminum hardtop runabout cruiser was just seriously cool and after the episode was finished, I went back and stop framed every place it was shown. That’s is what I want from that place!
  • @Hillfarmer100
    This is hands done my most favorite episode, that looks like an awesome place to spend a day or two and just hang out and walk the yard.
