Tom Cotter's Best Barn-Find Collector Car Tales

Rate this book
Tom Cotter is the best-known barn-find collector-car expert working today. Barn Find Bonanza! pulls together his best barn find stories from America and around the globe. 

Tom Cotter bought his first barn find some 50 years ago and he has never looked back. Over the proceeding decades he has continued to unearth automotive gems, some of which reside in his garage and others found just for the pleasure of the hunt.

Tom's passion for automotive archaeology has made him a nexus for other barn finders, and he has collected their stories for more than 20 years. He’s further expanded the scope of his passion and now hosts The Barn Find Hunter, a Hagertys-sponsored webcast with 20-plus episodes now available.

BarnFind Bonanzapulls together the very best stories from Cotter’s previous books and adds several new tales, all of which are presented in this handsome slip-cased edition. From Shelby Cobras, to classic Duesenbergs, to Harley hoards and lost supercars, Cotter brings to light the most amazing, outrageous, and unexpected finds discovered by himself and his barn-finding brethren.

My hubs loves to watch cars shows where treasures are unearthed in barns and garages, so this book is literally up his alley. The author, a star on his YouTube channel called Barn Find Hunter and a veteran old vehicle seeker, features 50 of his best finds in this amazing book, with photos and stories that will thrill anyone who loves collectible cars discovered in unexpected places. 5 of 5 stars.

Lots of really fun stories on awesome barn finds. This book is a compilation of stories of other barn find books Tom has written. I’d read the other books first before this one.

I like antiques and vintage items like this a lot, so seeing the author’s finds in situ, along with provenance, makes for a very interesting read.
