I wasn’t going to comment or share anymore about myself but I do see a lot of people asking the same questions. These vehicles were parked when I was way too young to do anything about it. My dad was the typical “I’ll fix them one day” man and unfortunately life, and cancer, got in the way of that. My mom felt guilty selling them after my dad passed away so they sat a few more years. We had many “vultures”, as y’all call them, try to buy the vehicles or even just TAKE them when my parents first passed away. I knew they would sit and do the same thing with them as they were already doing, so we refused. When Cole made a post in a local group looking for project cars, I asked my husband to reach out. When I found out they had already restored multiple Cudas, I knew they were the route to go. It was never about the money for me. Do I think the amount was totally fair after pulling the vehicles out and seeing the true condition? Some days yes, other days no. But, again, it was NOT about the money. I am not like my parents. While I do know how rare these cars can be, I also know that they’re not realistic for me. I don’t have the money nor the resources to complete a project that big, neither do most of the comments on this video. We call those “pipe dreams”. I wanted to see these cars go to someone who could fix them, not another backyard or garage. The Buick is my baby. Life is playing it’s cards and bringing big changes for me and my family. When it does, I plan to partially restore it so it doesn’t rot like so many others. My father had the mindset that nobody could have what was his, not realizing that even by them being his property, they were so far out of reach. The home itself is not repairable, the outside isn’t even close to a reflection of the inside. Part of me letting go of the vehicles was my final step from stepping away from the lifestyle I was brought up in. I will always feel the ache in my heart for selling them, but I know it will be so worth it to see them restored. I have no doubt that Tim and Cole, or whoever they choose to partake, will bring these cars glory. We sold nearly every vehicle on the property, excluding a few Camaros and the Silverado, and of course my Buick. (And two motorcycles) My husband has been my rock through this all, and I value/appreciate him very much. Thank you for all the compliments towards his tow-abilities. I try to tell him how good he is but he doesn’t listen! He has been towing for 18 years, since he was 18. He has a true eye and passion for it. If you enjoyed watching him, please remember to MOVE OVER and save a life. 💛

Yes it's sad to see that white one go from car show condition to rats nest but as a multi classic car owner myself... After 500 dipshits who try to steal your cars for a couple bills you'd rather let them sit and rot. Believe me. Plus once you obtain more than you can handle and life starts throwing shitballs at you.... You stop caring. Besides that I'll look out my window at a car you'll only dream of owning. Cute puppy.

A message to the daughter and son as a parents have passed away. My condolences. They seem pretty young to be in those shoes 👟. The 61 Chevy is most likely worth more now then it was twenty-five years ago when it was looking great! Cuda definitely is! Well sell any cars to do other things that they may want to do as far as home improvement memorial for their parents. Father and son who buy the car message for you. That song Mama didn't raise no fool applies here of course you get out there on that same day. Things like this don't drop into your lap everyday. We've actually taking trees that have grown up in the engine compartment. And we have taken the tree out just so we could get the car out of there. Well congratulations on what appears to be a fabulous find. Manteresting if you do a follow up on what you do with these cars is la content there including you know who you sell them to what you got out of them. Break it down for the folks viewing because just because you pay X-Men dollars and you get double that out of it doesn't mean you doubled your money there is a thing for time and investment of parts for the improvement. unless you did buy them dirt cheap and just turned around and sold a couple of them . Cuda and the 61 Chevy are great content cars for KZitem viewers as you well know. Congrats again on finding a nice heard of vehicles.

It’s a shame when cars are left outside to rot. I’m not blaming the parents or children, it sometimes just happens. A car gets parked off to the side, and next thing you know there are small saplings around it. However, you can’t underestimate the damage water will cause. Like this Cuda 4:45 has a small rot hole to the left of the year window. You can almost bet that both the trunk and interior floorboards are all rotted; not to mention the seats are soaked with rain and mice pee. I’ll give the kids credit for getting these cars out, sold and hopefully restored or used for parts. Best of luck!

She's lucky her daddy left her a house and he saved all them cars. Selling the cars is going to get her family a nice chunk of money. That should help her fix the house and have some left over. I'm very surprised she didn't take better care of the cars it seems that she should have known that they have value since she grew up in a car loving family. Cars are a great thing for a family you can go to shows, travel meet people go to swap meets, it's like treasure hunting with the family.

Her dad didn't take care of them, you can't expect her to to have a disproportionate amount of interest.

I do believe that your dad would prefer the sale of his Cuda collection. That's better than them rotting away. Plus the money will provide for your entire family. God bless you and your family 🙏💝

I would sell them if I'm not going to restore and properly store them ..I love classic cars way too much to watch them rot in a yard I rather have my heart broken by selling them to someone who will fix,restore and enjoy them

Selling to someone that will take care of them is the wise thing to do. The longer they sit, the less desirable they become. It can't be easy to let go sometimes.

Don’t confuse the person with the cars. You wouldn’t keep his coffee cups or dishes that he ate from. Remember the person not the stuff. Be practical leave it to someone who has the resources to do something with it. I would never saddle my kids with my stuff

Thanks for sharing, It's sad to me to see these cars left to return nature. Hope whoever buys them either refreshes or restores them. Fact is restoration in many cases costs so much that it is not economically viable. Good Luck!

I never understand Why people who are in this business of collecting these old cars never build open Air poll barns... I mean at least you would have a roof overhead to protect them at the minimum.

I inherited a car from my Dad. I didn’t like it and it would have needed work. Struggled for a while but then tried to think about what he would have said if we were talking about it. “Sell the damn thing. Buy something you like!

I would love to have the 1961 bubbletop Bel Air. I didn't know such a car existed until recently. I always thought the bubbletop in 1961 was exclusive to the Impala. The Bel Air was originally a 6 cylinder car. The emblem on the trunk doesn't have the "V" around the emblem, indicating a V-8. I had a 1961 Bel Air with a "flat top". The 'Cudas and Camaro's would be way out of my price range.
