Default "Kiwi Tony" featured on "Barn Find Hunter"

Watched this new episode last night featuring Tony Price aka "Kiwi Tony". Lots of history and some nice cars too.

BTW, I met Tom Cotter, aka "The Barn Find Hunter", last week in Boothbay, Maine. My wife and I were out were out in my 40 getting lunch at Bett's and Tom was doing the same. Nice guy and conversation with him too.

Thank you Gary for posting this. It went great with my morning coffee. And those Harleys..... I think I have a slot where one of those would fit perfectly!

Thanks for sharing. Great interview. I shared with all my friends and family who are “car” guys since Tony was who I picked to build my flathead.

Quite a pair. Tony Price and Tom Cotter. Tom’s Woodie Party’s are/were legendary and a blast to attend. They don’t come any finer than Tony and I’m fortunate to know both of them. I actually helped Tony load the convertible sedan when he purchased it from a friend of mine. A very fine episode of Barn Find Hunter.
