Posted on: April 3rd, 2025 by

In this episode, we’re joined by Ryan Brutt—aka the Automotive Archaeologist—who’s spent the last decade on the road uncovering America’s forgotten automotive treasures. From rusted-out muscle cars in overgrown barns to pristine vintage gems tucked away in garages, Ryan has a knack for finding classics in the most neglected places.

He shares what it’s like to chase down legends, the stories behind the cars he uncovers, and why barn finds still capture the imagination of gearheads everywhere.

🚗💥 Buckle up for a journey through rust, dust, and pure nostalgia with one of the most dedicated car hunters in the game.
