Video Description
I Bought an Ultra-Rare Barn (Field) Find Classic - I Have BIG Plans. In this episode Jonny Smith saves one of very first soft roader / Crossover cars (only a handful of Talbot Matra Ranchos are left) but discovers it might be too rusty to save. Then again, it might be prime candidate for a genius (silly?) body swap project. Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
