Can Davin and Jeff get this old Ford V-8 engine to fire up after a 50+ year slumber? All evidence points to this car being off the road since 1963 (that’s 60 years ago!). And it has been slowly sinking into the dirt in its current resting place since at least the early 1970s. With a new battery, new spark plugs, fresh fuel, basic hand tools, and some good old-fashioned know-how, can your favorite engine builder and his new sidekick get this tired old 1958 Ford Country Sedan station wagon to start? Will it run??
This 1968 Chevy C20 pickup truck was parked OVER 30 YEARS AGO in a dusty horse barn. Can we revive this classic Chevrolet 307 V8 engine and get it to run for the first time in three decades? Armed with a new battery, new spark plugs, fresh fuel, and some basic hand tools, Hagerty mechanic Davin Reckow aims to find out!

This classic Jeep CJ-5 was parked in the early ’80s. Can Davin and Jeff bring its 225ci Buick V-6 engine back to life? The owner of this particular Jeep fondly remembers driving it in high school in the late 1970s, but can’t remember why he parked it on his father’s property close to 40 years ago. Davin and Jeff set out to see if some fresh spark plugs, good fuel, filed points, and a bit of TLC can answer the simple question: Will It Run?
We found a Model T and thought we’d try to get it running. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
It may be winter in Northern Michigan, but that won’t stop Davin and Jeff from trying to resuscitate this 1972 Ford Gran Torino with a 429 Cobra Jet. It’s been sitting for years and has definitely seen better days, but that’s just the way we like to find them. The only question left is, will it run?
This 1965 Chevy Corvair was totaled in New York after flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Since then it’s been floating around not running. Sometimes being stored outside, sometimes in a barn, and sometimes wherever there was space. Well, eleven years later, we’re ready to answer the question, Will it Run?
This Dodge Challenger was parked in the early ’90s and hasn’t been touched since. Can Davin bring it back to its former glory and get it driving down the road again?
Last time we got this iconic 1970 Dodge Challenger TA 340 Six Pack running, but we weren't satisfied with just that. We wanted to see it back on the road again too. (We also wanted to give it a good detailing!)
Davin picked up this 1966 Chevy C10 4 years ago when we were working on our iconic Chevy Stovebolt project. They said if he was willing to haul it away it was his to do with as he pleased. Well, it's been four years and it's time to get after things and see if we can get this 250 Straight Six up and running again.
The Flathead V-8 in this barn find Ford F1 pickup is FILLED with oil sludge. Can Davin and Jeff get it cleaned out enough to get this beauty of a farm truck running again?
This barn find 1951 Hudson Hornet has been left neglected for years, but that's no way to leave this iconic piece of NASCAR (and Disney/PIXAR's Cars!) history. Davin Reckow does his best to get this Doc Hudson lookalike's flathead straight-six running again, and hopefully hit the road.
Tom Cotter, Davin Reckow, and friends unearthed this 1972 DeTomaso Pantera in the last episode of Barn Find Hunter. After a quick trip to the car wash to rinse off 45 years of dust and animal droppings, Davin makes a valiant effort to get this Italian sports car's Ford V-8 engine going again. Will It Run?
Davin leaves the shop and finds his way to a neglected 1937 Buick Special. This American classic with its straight-eight engine has been sitting decades. Will it turn over? Will there be spark? Can we get fuel to it? Can Davin figure out how the starter works? There's only one way to find out.
An engine filled with water? Davin's got his work cut out for him as he arrives in California to a field full of neglected German sports cars. These Opel GT's may look like baby Corvettes, but right now they are far from preforming like the C3 they seem to have taken so many styling cues from. Davin hopes to find out what one day of work can do for these classic cars.
