Two barn finds
I heard about 2 cars out in the country, took me 3 hrs. To get the owners phone # and location. Older restorations that got put outside at some point. I was surprised how solid both cars are. Both interiors are nice, engine pans, original shocks.
I drove both onto my trailer. Both need tops,tires and a bit of paint. If you keep looking and asking around you can still find some great deals. |

Re: Two barn finds
I think you got them just in the nick of time. From here, they would have gone backwards quickly but why would the owner put them outside????

Re: Two barn finds
I don't know why they both were put outside, my guess the owner passed and they were kicked out of the garage or sold to someone without proper storage.
I grabbed both cars so the hot Rodders wouldn't get them, now I'm out of room. The 31 slant windshield has a sale pending $7,500 to a friend on mine. This is supposed to be my new workshop, now it's on hold. |

Re: Two barn finds
Save them !! SAVE THEM!!! ... yes that's terrible they were abandoned but at least old owner was willing to negotiate with you. Hope they come back from the dark side.

Re: Two barn finds
Those VW trucks are hard to find in even fair shape.
