29 Year old LIVING the '60s DREAM in 2024: Resurrecting Rare Fords | Barn Find hunter

Meet Omar, one of the most interesting Barn Find Hunter guests we've ever had. If you were to step into his driveway, you would think you had time-traveled back to the 1960s. He owns a 428ci Galaxie 500 built from scrapyard parts, a HiPo 289 Mercury Comet, and a Torino. The Galaxie 500 was once a forgotten car in the Texas desert until Omar saw it on an episode of Barn Find Hunter and purchased it. Omar is a man who teaches himself everything as he goes: engine building, bodywork, welding, paint, and upholstery, all under a lean-to in sunny California.
