Barn Find Hunter is a guilty pleasure of ours, mostly because Tom Cotter is one of the best in the business, having literally written the book about tracking down rare barn finds. And while we know that to a degree the show is scripted and is a production, so it doesn’t reflect entirely the day-to-day life of someone hunting barn finds, it lacks the dramatic flairs and super high-production sheen which has plagued so many automotive shows in the past two decades or so.

Teens stealing road signs have to be rescued by the police.

There is one episode which still haunts us to this very day, one we can’t entirely get out of our heads, and that is when Tom tracked down a guy who has a cubed 1967 Shelby GT500 tucked away. Considering how beautiful not to mention valuable these American muscle cars are, to see one that was purposely destroyed entirely is just a little too much.

Rather than suffer alone, we decided to share this awful portion of the episode with you because, well, misery loves company, or so the saying goes. But even though it’s horrifying to see, the story behind it is interesting. Plus, how many cubed GT500s have you ever seen before?
