In this thrilling episode of Hagerty, the team embarks on a daring adventure through the streets of Brooklyn, in search of hidden automotive treasures. With the guidance of their trusty friend Rob, they navigate the old neighborhood, brimming with potential finds. And boy, do they strike gold!
Their first stop is at Tim Harney Designs, a seemingly unlikely place for automotive wonders. But lo and behold, they stumble upon a hot rod BMW that defies expectations. This beast of a machine boasts a Nissan turbo engine, meticulously polished and tuned to perfection. But that's not all, folks. Tim also reveals his passion for bikes, showcasing a stunningly customized 1997 Ural, complete with quilted leather and nickel plating. It's a sight to behold, a true masterpiece on two wheels.
As they continue their quest, the team encounters the intriguing concept of "barn finds" in the heart of Brooklyn. These delinquent cars, hidden under tarps and in various stages of neglect, defy the norms of urban parking regulations. It's a rebel's paradise, where license plates are removed, and VIN tags are concealed. And amidst this automotive rebellion, they stumble upon a rare gem—a Pinsa Puk, an Austrian creation that served as the father of the iconic G Wagon. With its unique design and impressive capabilities, this vehicle proves that true beauty lies in the unexplored corners of the automotive world.
But the adventure doesn't end there. They receive a tip about a hidden Lal, a lower-end Cadillac, tucked away in a Brooklyn yard. With permission granted, they get a glimpse of this vintage beauty, untouched by time. The team marvels at its solid build and classic Cadillac styling. And just when they think they've hit the jackpot, they discover that this Lal is just the tip of the iceberg. The owner's daughter reveals a hidden treasure trove of over 40 cars in a barn on Long Island. These vehicles, remarkably well-preserved, await their chance to shine.
In this whirlwind of automotive discoveries, the team realizes that Brooklyn is not just a concrete jungle; it's a haven for automotive enthusiasts. From hot rods to customized bikes, from barn finds to hidden collections, this urban landscape holds secrets that only the most intrepid explorers can uncover. And as the sun sets on their adventure, they can't help but dream of the possibilities that lie within the streets of Brooklyn.
