In this riveting episode of Hagerty, the team embarks on a journey to uncover hidden automotive treasures in a remote Detroit neighborhood. Their quest leads them to a dusty 1946 Ford car that lay dormant in a garage for over half a century, its fascinating history intertwined with tales of being towed all the way from Alabama. With a little love and basic maintenance, the team manages to bring this vintage beauty back to life, sparking discussions on its potential fate as a restoration project or a homage to its storied past.
But that's not all - the team also stumbles upon a 1964 truck, a special gift from the owner to his wife, showcasing a classic piece of automotive history with its untouched patina and original features. And then, the spotlight shifts to a jaw-dropping 2003 Audi RS6, transformed into a high-performance beast with a custom-built LS1 engine churning out over 1000 horsepower. This unique twin-turbo setup and meticulous design work make it a true masterpiece of automotive engineering.
As if that wasn't enough, the team unveils a rally-inspired 1984 Audi 4000 track car, meticulously crafted for speed and performance, a true testament to the owner's passion for building high-powered machines. And last but not least, a 1962 Austin-Healey BT7, set to hit the market soon, offers a glimpse into the world of vintage touring cars, with its charming imperfections and timeless appeal. From forgotten classics to high-octane powerhouses, this episode of Hagerty is a thrilling ride through the diverse and captivating world of automotive history and craftsmanship.
