Jealousy Warning: Yesterday I was passing through Kanab, Utah. My daughter and I were stretching our legs when a classic car with Oregon plates pulls up to a gas station parking stall right by me. Out hops a guy and his daughter. Since I grew up in Oregon, I ask the guy where in Oregon he's from. I recognized the voice as soon as I heard him say "I just bought this from someone in Oregon" I totally randomly bumped into Paul in Kanab, Utah. He was super nice, I didn't want to take much of his time because he seemed in a hurry. He was really friendly, down to earth and just an overall good dude! Paul, It was a pleasure bumping into you! Thanks for the great content.

That is beyond the most awesome “barn find” and it could not have fallen into the hands of any better family, great people do get rewarded ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I did have to cringe the whole time they were driving on the snow/ice/salt. I would have towed it or waited until spring to pick it up.

I truely believe in Karma! You were ment to find theese incredibly awesome vehicles! Maybe even some help from the other side? Stranger things have happened. As far as the truck goes!, I loved the idea of a blower, the truck seemed to be absolutely beautifull. Black! With a blower, monster engine! and lots of chrome. New tires and fantastic rims! Really couldn't see into interior, black tufted leather! And a crazy sound system. I can't wait to see what they both look like! After the love that you put into them. A great post! From a loving family! Thanks for the great ride.

@@williamd1891 that's what you say here, but I'm willing to put a wager on you doing exactly like he did. They didn't have the option of "towing" it. By "towing" that means getting a tow truck to take it, which let me educate you on tow rates. They are rather pricey, at over $2 per mile, it would have cost over $4,000. to "tow" it, maybe over $5,000. He couldn't trailer it, because there wasn't enough room on the trailer. Why wait until spring? Then you have the expense of going back up there again. The idea is to try to not be wasteful. Your two examples would cost alot of money.

Wayne where are you from? I am also a Fields from Oregon

Paul's excitement is awesome to see. All of the gearheads watching are smiling with you.

Being I'm from Oregon, this was a great one to watch. Such a great find and so good to see the Bird go to your family. Sooo happy to see it out of the barn and live again. Just the way it should be. Thanks to all involved in this.

I am so glad to hear it still has the Pontiac 326 in it. What a find. This day and time that is a one of a kind car. The trucks nice too, but that Firebird steals the show for me.

14:50 That heater motor noise instantly takes me back to my childhood. ✌️

This series hit me square in the heart strings!! Thank you Miss Mary Pat for sharing the love of such a great vehicle!!

Love that you guys shared this once in a life time road trip that resulted in not one but two sweet rides. Cant' wait to see them in future episodes. I'm thinking an episode come soon will be building a bigger garage for all the toys. lol

"I didn't find it, it found me" Isn't that just fantastic. Good things happen to good people, Paul and Michelle, and Papa Dar and Randall. Enjoy the new projects. Looking forward to following along

Mary was amazing! You guys are truly blessed to have this whole experience. Couldn't have happened to a better guy!

I've been watching your channel religiously. I'm so jealous now I almost can't bear to look. I had a 2 door 69 Catalina convertible for a while from about 1989 to 91. It was awsome, but made me want the Firebird just that much more. Without going into how I "lost" the Catalina it's one of those things where the wound never quite heals.

I feel like the kid that just can’t wait for the next episode. Y’all bring so much joy. Keep after it all !!!

That Pontiac brings back memories. In 1969, it was the car that drove us home from college for Thanksgiving break. I still remember the guy's name who owned it: Winchester P. Woolard.

I love that you didn't find it...it found you. That's the best feeling as you know it was ment to be! Enjoy it! Y'all are a hard working family that deserve all the success that you are getting!

A blower would be sweet on that old truck. And that Firdbird is beautiful. What a great find.

Awesome 2 car find. The Firebird is amazing just the way it is, make it 100 percent, and drive it. The truck, I’d probably find fenders and a hood, throw on a blower, with a spacer, and poke it out the hood.

Paul driving and can't stop smiling. Congrats on the "NEW" car, she's a beauty.

A barn find that goes 2k miles after not running for 5 years is absolutely nuts to me. They really don't make them like they used to. As for the truck, idk what engine to go with but something with a nice big blower would be perfect in my opinion

Nice find, here in Wisconsin we throw snow on the windshield when the washers don't work.

That was a trip you all will remember for a lifetime. Not one, but TWO awesome vehicles to come home with. Can't wait to see what you do with them. Thanks for taking us along on the road trip.

So cool! That beautiful young lady sure gave you guys a deal of a lifetime, she picked the right people to take those vehicles over too. Excited to see what’s in store for them in the future!

Congratulations! Beautiful story and video. It's awesome to see a car go to good home to be cared for and enjoyed! And yes, the car found you, because that's how it all works.

TWIN TURBO on the old truck. what a great drive back. beautiful old school hot rods.

Truly Sensational and deserved For Paul, Michelle and the family. Including Papa Darr and Randell. What an epic lady she was gifting you with these beautiful machines. Treat them well, they'll bring you lifelong memories for the kids in years to come!

The barn find was waiting for a good home. A beautiful trip, friends made, a beautiful car and a beautiful family. What more could anyone desire?

That old girl is definitely worth a total makeover. That 326 V8 is a very good motor and if it’s not burning oil it’ll serve well for many years. That 67 Firebird in that condition is a huge find. Congratulations guys. 👍👍👍❤️

Paul, I have never been more jeolous in all my born days, as I am right now of you!! I am so happy that something like this has happened in your life... God is good... be safe y'all... :)

Just re-watched the entire 3-parter in order, and I am truly moved by this story. Mary Pat could not have found a happier home for these pieces of her family history!! The Firebird cleaned up so nice - that is a museum piece, basically a survivor (with a couple of updates to the stance and wheels), but a dream of a car. Can't wait to see the '42 build, I know it is going to be a stunner when done - next stop = Smokey Burnouts!!! Thank you Paul and family for sharing this journey. Incredible.

WOW what an amazing find. A firebird was such a classic. I know Michelle wil have such fun driving her new car. My classic Mopar wafound on the very back lot of a dealership. Was scuzzy and shabby but the potential was there. And I drove it 800 miles home, without the rat smell thankfully. Only problem was the gas hauge didnt work and i needed brake fluid top up. Still a fun head turner of a ride.

That is a beautiful car. That thing is definitely worthy of being driven and taken to as many car shows as possible. No matter what you do with the truck look forward to seeing what you do with them

While we in Canada are under a state of emergency it is great to see the freedom you enjoy in your neck of the woods. Cheers

I'm jealous. Nice car. Blower on the truck. Paul getting all giddy about the car was priceless!

I accidentally came across you guys, Matts off road recovery and more recently Robby Layton in relation to the Golden Nugget, have been following the development of it since it was recovered and since then all your channels have basically become my favourite channels to keep up with! Keep up the good work and content guys, that Pontiac is a BEAST, much love from Australia.

I smiled the whole way through that wlog, the smile on Paul’s face said it all.. Can’t wait for all the videos to come to see what you do to the truck... Love 💕 your vlogs xxx 😘👍🏻👏🥰🦘🇦🇺

Excellent run and A Beautiful Firebird...We did a similar run from Las Vegas to Portland with zero prep time..won the online auction on Thursday and took Friday off as they were only open mon-fri for pick up..drove all night to get their, hooked up to a Baja Boss 272 and headed home.. Made it to Boise, ID and finished the drive Saturday Morning...Crazy some of the things we do..

67 bird Nice find, unbelievable how clean and complete it is. Thanks for sharing.

Unbelievable on how it ran so good without any breakdowns for the amount of time that thing sat. Best "Barn Find" Ever!

I have total confidence that Paul and Michelle treated Mary Pat generously on the deal. I can hear and see the good feelings between them all. What a great video. 👍

Congratulations on the bird Paul! I know that feeling and it can't be explained to someone who's never felt it.

Paul what about our ancestors that walked from Illinois to Utah using handcarts? Michelle wouldn't have to worry about too much speed. LOL That car is gorgeous. Give her some love and she will be lovely.

The Firebird is my favorite of the pony cars since they were rare compared to the Camaros. If the heads have never been rebuilt you might want to run some additive to save the valve seats. The motor for the truck should definitely have a roots style blower with a six pack on top or a 8 Weber IDF system looks old school trick. Glad the footage of you two crop dusting each other made the final edit. Keeping it funny and light.

Yeah I said to check the numbers for production. My 5eacher had a stick shift firebird she bought must have been around 2006 or so. Pretty rare car im pretty sure it was a big block too original everything so RS and SS

Those are two great finds you got. Glad to see them go to someone that's going to love and take care of them instead of someone just getting them to make a quick flip with them.

Congratulations on your barn find. It's awesome to see someone get their dream.

The lady who owned the truck and car is a princess, and a very smart one who knew Paul and Michelle would love them as she did.

Man! You are living out every gearheads dream! God blessed you with an awesome Car!

Beautiful car Paul. A huge blower for that truck!

That is a beautiful car, it needed someone who can keep it up. That's why it found you. Such a killer truck too.

Nice trip the 67 Firebird wow. My wife and my first car was a 67 Firebird. Glad you all found one in such great shape.

Definitely a 6-71 blower, that would fill that engine bay nicely. Awesome video Michelle and Paul

I watch your videos and the one thing that stands out is how much you guys love each other. It is great to see two people working so well as a team. You can tell almost what each other are about to say.

What a terrific road trip! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride! That Firebird is pristine-ish!! Beautiful car! Two families just bonded together...what a great story!! Couldn't happen to better people! Love this trip!! 🥰🥰

Congratulations on both vehicles!! OMG the Firebird is awesome, that's when they built cars.

Memories, Memories! I had a 68 Pontic Lemans! Looked a lot like your ride. Right now, I'm near tears. I'm 79 and had many cars I wish I had now. However, where would I put them. Love this video! You all make this old guy's day, week, month, and year. Thank you so much! Lol. From the flat lands of Central Indiana

"We'll make it home just fine, maybe in six months, but we'll get there" That's what I like about Paul, never give up, you're clips always give me a push forward, and let's talk about that unicorn car, it is awesome, a well deserved gift from heaven, take good care of it and make the previous owner and his lovely daughter proud!! :)

Omgosh....the firebird...just insanely sweet...

What an awesome find. The firebird wow 👌 reminds me of one i had back in the day. I've had so many memories watching you drive her home. And the truck or rod! It should be a great time fixing it up. Paul thanks for sharing.

Love watching the road trip! Michelle and Paul you're so fun to watch. Smoking each other out, hilarious 😂

I love you guys. This is the type of stuff I used to do when I was younger. I can't get around like I used to so watching you guys is fun. Keep showing Michelle.

Good things happen to Great people. Congratulations

Those two vehicles went to the right household and person to restore them. Looking forward to seeing the journey.

Couldnt be happier for you guys...loved the 3 part series. Love the solid content that I just absolutely look forward to seeing every week.

Great videos of the Oregon Trip. Super excited that the Firebird found you! Looking forward to build up of the truck. Cheers

Bless you folks from Utah. Your trip was so special. Thanks for being there for MP. 1-2023

Wow, I'm still shocked and in awe of such a cool event. Living that car guy life!!! Never a dull moment between the fab, rescue and wheeling content!!! I drive a tractor trailer loving this stuff.

Road trips with friends and family are great, when it turns into the treasure find of a lifetime, that's icing on the cake. Seeing other couples struggle with the occasional escape of "blue methane" just makes it hilarious! Thanks for letting us tag along!

I bought a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado a couple years ago from a farmer near Indianapolis that was also in a barn in similar shape. Made it to Chicago area doing 80 MPH the whole way with no plates. Take that Illinois Tollway Authority.

Awesome find! That icy stretch of HWY 20 near Burns Oregon always has wrecks on it. I'm on the Burns Fd and Unfortunately we are always going on motor vehicle accidents. Glad you guys made it home safe! Definitely enjoy your videos!

I was there with you for every minute of the trip. Sometimes, when you couldn't see out of the window on the ICY roads, my chair started getting uneasy and squeaking a lot. I am just so happy you made it home safely and nothing happened to that beautiful car.

Paul u are the luckiest man I've ever seen. That car is one of my dream cars. The shape of the car is incredible. Congrats man. I enjoyed the trip seeing that it made a 1,000 mile trip after sitting for 5 yrs is amazing.

I've got tears in my eyes I'm so happy for y'all, most excellent. 👍

Loved tagging along with you guys. Thanks for the ride !

Congrats on your new toys, looking forward to seeing what you do with each of them. My idea for the engine compartment in the truck is a big block, with either 3 deuces or dual quad carbs. I'm old school, turning 65 next month, and remember when the visual impact of a muti carb setup was super cool. Granted not the best performance, especially by today's standards, but definitely a conversation piece. Whatever you do, it will be fun to follow along. You and your family are helping to shorten our winter here in Fargo, North Dakota.

It was hard to get the multi carb setup synchronized. No matter what you did, it was hard to get all the carbs to do what you wanted at the same time.

It's so fun watching you and Michelle. I hope you guys post some Saturday night date nights where you take out the car from time to time.

What an awesome lady, wanting to keep her husbands joy alive and what a great find for you. I look forward to seeing more of them both in future videos. Blower on the truck definitely 😁

Below is the truck engine idea, but as far as the barn find.. just beautiful 😍

What a great relationship you guys have. At the 9:45 time mark Paul is giving the mice some competition and to enjoy the full effect, the window remains closed. Hard to lay the blame on someone else when there are only two of you in the car. I had a 67' Firebird with a 350 Chevy back in 82', it was nice but it was no where near as clean as this one.

I can't begin to explain how happy this makes me! Inspirational for sure and you 100% deserve what is happening to you in all the best ways! Keep those memories going!! So Special!

Loving the Firebird, to be able to drive it almost 1000 miles after it sat for 5 years is beyond any words in my vocabulary, nope, got two, mind blowing! My second car was a 68 Firebird with a 400 ci motor, but with 89,000 miles she was tired. Congratulations! My vote for the truck motor is BBC with a blower, that always screams hot rod.🤑 And I thoroughly enjoyed the video, as always.👍

You said it right of all the cars on the road around us, "this one's the sweetest!" What a great find! My brother has a '69 Firebird 400 and it's just an awesome ride.

I love a good road trip! The way you just kept going at it to bring your new baby home was cool and as far as the part where you were slowed down just remember, a hundred years or so ago 12 miles a day was a good days travel unless you were on the train or stage coach. I tell my kids there is a reason why in the states settled pre 1900 the old towns are only 7-10 miles apart.

I laughed so hard “I just paid $.10 for those bags!!” Bahaha welcome to Oregon. Just before that, I was thinking to myself “wonder what town they’re in pumping their own gas? 🤣 That car is a beaut!
