Matt Sager is our guest on the latest edition of Today in BC. The native of Vancouver Island leads an ambitious team of classic car hunters that scour deeper into CanadaB次元官网网址檚 northern wilderness than any car hunter has gone before. Their mission is to recover rare vehicles fabled to be hiding in the bush, before the cars are lost forever to history.
When asked about his best-ever find in B.C., Sager said: B次元官网网址淚 have to say, my best find is not so much dictated on the value. When I find a car, what IB次元官网网址檓 looking for is a car that no one else knows where it is, or a car thatB次元官网网址檚 truly lost undeniably. One that has basically fell through the cracks of time, been encapsulated in a barn or abandoned over a ravine. Could be under two feet of leaves and you never see it.B次元官网网址�
The team travels by air in his 1948 Stinson and by land to extract the vehicles from their forgotten resting places.
Each team member plays a crucial role, the pilot Jess; Steve (The Wrench); autobody expert Dave; and crane operator Lee. Together they achieve the impossible, uncovering rare automotive gems and preserving the cars and the stories of the places and the people who have lived there for generations.
Sager has spent years searching out vehicles and host Peter McCully asked what happens to the vehicles they have been rescued.
B次元官网网址淚 have a very large list of people that have reached out several hundred people, really all over the world,B次元官网网址� said Sager. B次元官网网址淏asically we place cars almost like an adoption agency.B次元官网网址�
A few vehicles have made it to SagerB次元官网网址檚 personal collection for restoration.
B次元官网网址淚t was a really a long time coming to find that 1936 Cord. ItB次元官网网址檚 going to be probably a five-to-six-year restoration just to find parts, to actually finish it off. ItB次元官网网址檚 weird cool.B次元官网网址�
