Barn Find 33 left in garage for 30 yrs

wish I could just happen upon one for myself....nice score!

 

man that's sweet!

 

Don't know why but... Dam'n thats funny, bs67!
Very nice find, "concreteman"

 

Looks like it's been run throughout those 30 years though... tires are good, just a mild bit of dust, and the floor is even swept. These barns are getting nicer and nicer. Great car... love the engine!

 

Flat black, red wheels, tear the fenders off, "haircut", straight thru exhaust. The usual.


Nice car, don't do the above. Drive and enjoy. One Finger John

 

Sweeeeeeet!!!!!

 

Hey man thats an awesome find. My birthdays comming up soon......don't let the fact that you don't know me from Adam get in the way!

 

sweet score

 

Not just a 33, but a "Bowtie 33"! I'm so jealous, and also happy for another HAMB Chevy.

 

That right there is why I chase down every rumor I hear.
Great score.

 

Unbelievable! you are a very lucky man!!!!

 

i dig it man...congratulations!

 

You pretty much NEED to take video and see her reaction. That is the most amazing find (and most self less gifting of it) I have ever seen.

 

Sweet car, great plan.

 

so what car church do you pray at and where can i join.....you sir are the luckiest ******* i know today AWESOME! nice ,very nice.

 

Change the oil and get a new battery and drive like it is!!!!

 

so how did you find this?? Give us a back story!! GReat looking car!

 

Awesome score. Nice to know this kind of thing still happens.

 

I alway's scronge ebay and craig list ,Last Sunday night I saw an add for a 33 Chev ,with pictures .my heart stopped like maybe a FIND
Sent the guy a email and he decribed the car
His Father now 80 + was in a rest Home ,had restored the car in the late 60's and drove it a hand full amount of times ,then parked it in the Garage for 30 yrs ,I bought it over the phone ,gave him a deposit 9:00 Monday morning .Thurday (yesterday) I set up a transport ,played hooky from work and drove 4 hrs in HOPE , When I finally got there ,very remote area the garage was open ,when I walked up I could not belive it ,The son aprox 60 yrs old told me it been sitting for a long time ,also had a different eng and brakes ,he warned me it was not stock
We made the deaL rest is history,

 

Amazing. They must have kept the damn thing in a giant ziplock bag! It looks GREAT. Find out who built that "barn" - I want them to build one for me, too!!

 

**** I forgot when we pushed the car out the brother of the builder 80+ and the son 60 ,look shocked ,it was raining and the car was getting wet ,they told me
it had not seen water on it in over 40 years ,the dad did not use water on it only blew it off ,
GOD BE MY WITNESS

 

What a great story - as my ex used to say about auditions "Never don't go".

 

Awesome story. All I ever seem to find on craigslists are wierdos

 

----and please leave that gorgeous body and interior AS IS!!

 

WOW, what a great find. Congrats, you locky SOB.

 

Thanks guy's ,the point of the thread never give up ,it can happen to you

 

Great score! My 57 was a "barn find" stored in a trailer since '83.Best of luck with it.

 

That's sweet!!!! Did'ja have to sleep with the owner to get it? That thing is bad ***!!! Congrats......

 

What a great score. I like your plan to leave the six. You can do some amazing things with a six cylinder and either a stick or automatic drivetrain. Myself I'd be temped to try a 292 late model six just because they are awesome performers with the right combination of parts. If the car is to be for the wife she might want an automatic and there isn't anything wrong with that or power steering or air conditioning.
Ber sure to keep is in the loop on the rebirth of this one. It will be a refreshing change of pace.
