History Barn Finds RARE RARE.

I was doing an appraisal on a guys 72 Olds cutl*** convert. when the owner invites me to look at his recently p***ed away fathers car and M/C who has owned them since new. I dont usually do this but I couldnt believe my eyes and just wanted to share. The car is a 1923 Chevrolet Superior Coupe still running the M/C is a 1919 Excelisor V twin just under 1000CC it is running complete with a side car. Sorry no pics of the side car. I have only seen pictures of the a 1923 Chevy before and and have never seen a photo of the Excelisor. ENJOY

 

WOW...I like

 

Why don't they make things like this anymore?

 

cool!

 

cool

 

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

 

Cool, and art as well

 

Awsome! thanks for sharing

 

Holy Moly! I didn't know any chevies that old had survived! That's way cool.

Now let's see - if'n it was a Ford you'd be getting advice to "SLAM IT, CHOP IT! BAG IT! SBC IT!".... But me bein' a Fordaholic, my advice would be - give it a coat of Simonize and otherwise DO NOT TOUCH! Well maybe a nice Y-block & a C4 .... just kidding!

What a fine car. Nice M/C too, both look like museum pieces. thanks for sharing.

 

That bike looks like new! The car too!

 

Neat. I don't think I've ever seen a Chevy that old before- looks nice.

Can't believe it,what a find. Thanks for posting for us to see.

 

Priceless.....thanks for sharing.

 

The Chevrolet is sweet! Looks like time was very kind to it.

 

they figured out how to go faster, cheaper


awesome photos man, seriously cool bike

 

Nice find. The Chev 3w, that is a '23 body on a '25-'26 ch***is, motor is also later it has a '28 2-port head.

 

Holy ****! I'm not much of a motorcycle guy but I would ride that to school every day. 30 dergree mornings be damned! can you post pics of the side car? thats the coolest part.

 

Cool machines but where's the barn.....

 

Thanks for the pics, damn sweet looking Chevy.

 

WOW!

Thanks for the pics. Never saw the Excelisor. Heard of them but never saw a pic. The Chevy is fantastic. Sure would love to hear both of them run.

There is no barn and it wasnt lost.

Im grumpy today, but Barn find? Im sick of those words on here.

 

thus the reason no one gets excited much...

these are survivors, not barn finds... but what the hell... checkers sells more than chess

 

Well, for sure, whether it's a "barn find" or a "lock garage, some old tin really CAN get effectively "lost" for decades. Then, finally SOMEbody gets access again to what had been purposely put away.

There's a difference, BUT all these potential PROJECTS are fun to gander at!

 

That bike is soooo good lookin..

 

Id take the bike first but I bet you freaked a little seeing those two. Very cool.

 

Thank You very nice

 

DOUBLE WOW!!!! wAS HE JUST SHOWING THEM OFF OR DID YOU GET THEM?

 

"Barn find" just aint workin. How about "stored vintage vehicle discovery by other than owner"?
