Mike Hall, Avery Shoaf, and their team of expert car restorers visit a remote property in Vancouver Island to uncover the hidden treasures in the rusty vehicles kept in secret storage for over 70 years.
As the team arrived at the property, they were greeted by the owner, a retired mechanic who had amassed an entire stash of classic cars - some so rare that only a handful of them existed in the world. The owner was particularly keen on getting his hands dirty, and he joined the team in restoring some of the cars. However, as they got to work, they discovered that some of the vehicles were in a worse state than they had anticipated. One of the prize finds was a Ford Galaxie 500, which had been sitting in a garage for over 50 years and needed a full restoration.

The team was faced with some challenges in completing the restorations, including finding missing parts and dealing with rust and corrosion. But each car presented a unique opportunity for the team to showcase their skills and passion for bringing back old classics to life.
As the team got to work, the owner revealed some of the cars he'd been hiding in storage, including a DeSoto Fireflite, a Nash Rambler, and a 1940s-era Chrysler New Yorker. The latter was in a particularly bad state, having been submerged in a river for over 50 years. This presented the team with a daunting challenge, but they were eager to get to work and turn this rust bucket into a fully restored gem.
Throughout the episode, the team faced various challenges, including the weather, limited parts availability, and compatibility issues between parts from different vehicles. Despite these challenges, they persevered, and the results were stunning. Each car brought back to life was a testament to the team's passion, dedication, and commitment to the art of restoration.
As the episode drew to a close, the team reflected on the lessons they learned and the skills they had honed in restoring these classic vehicles. They were proud of the results and the knowledge that they had saved some of the world's rarest cars from complete destruction. The entire team was thrilled with the unique opportunity they had been given to restore this Secret Stash.
