Awaiting a New Owner in the Forest Lies This Pontiac Trans Am, Ready For Its Next Adventure


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.

This Pontiac Trans Am Is Waiting In The Forest For A New Owner

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.

Finding Classic Cars That Are In Need Of A Little TLC

The fun doesn’t stop there, though as what looks like a 60s Ford Mustang is also present, although it looks like it needs a fair bit of restoration. It’s anyone’s guess really as the lighting and the cars’ parking formation in hard-to-reach spots don’t allow the host to see every angle of the cool classics.

One of the other highlights is sitting nonchalantly under a cover and having various parts and paraphernalia sitting atop its trunk: a Pontiac Trans Am. It’s the iconic second-generation, Pontiac Firebird-based car and looks like it might be in alright condition under all that stuff. Like every car here, you need to take the owner’s details and head down to Tennessee to check out the cars and maybe make an offer. The only thing is that the Trans Am needs an engine, but that could be the chance to perform an amazing engine swap
