2010 Barn finds, let's see yours!

now you make me wish i still had my pan head!

 

1978 was the last year it was licensed.

 

I like those "pending" barn finds. The anticipation of "it will happen one day" is the greatest. Unfortunately they always give it away to someone else, in the first second you fall behind bothering them.
Merry Christmas...

 

They bring 6-10k when done. I might be interested if you are not.

 

I may be intereted if you are not. Worth 6-10k when done.

 

WOW! so many great finds! keep posting!!!

 

My son and i picked this barnfind up this autum.

 

I might be able to help you out. The same place has a 1962 Newport 2dr hrdtp (Same body different trim level)it's been outside for some time and a little rough around the edges.

 

This is my barn find in 2010
this is how the ad looked on craigslist.

Craigslist

1953 Chevy, not
rust. call ( number )


Now, im sure your thinking what I was, another scam, blind ad or maybe its a 4 door or it dosent run, it rusted out, there no title, why isnt there any pics, how much is it, on and on right?

Well I called the seller and we spoke for an hour as he answered all my question, I asked him what time he got up in the morning he said 7:00, I said i will bring the coffee.

it was complete and running (ruff) 215 inline, new floor pans and a prefectly solid trunk minor rust for a florida car in all the normal places, it had been converted to 12 volts and re wired with a modern fuse box. last taged in 2000.

The last pic is where it is at today, MII front end , airbags, new rearend , 6.0 liter caddy motor, ect.ect.

 

Sorry to disappoint,... But it's been a really slow year,... All I found this year was this turd,... and yes,... it's a O/T car,...

 

I found both of these right in town. Was going to give $1000 for the model A, and ended up $1,500 for both. Don't know yet what I'm going to do with them. Model A registered in '85, '39 has '63 Cali. license plates.

 

Yeah, try to make better next year hahaha! just kidding!

 

Sittin' in a back yard for at least 7 years. Looks like it was restored sometime in the late 80's(best guess). Drive train was upgraded to a 283/T350/12 bolt. She's a rolling restoration for me.

 

I'm really not into these,.. but I got it from a old friend,.. it ran really strong back in the day, I have no idea what the plan is,... if any.
69' Road Runner ( I think,.. maybe a Belvedere made to look like a RR ?) 383/727 Air Grabber.

 

Well, not HAMB friendly, but a barn find no less. Rare Volvo 123GT.

Factory tach, sport steering wheels, 4speed OD bla, bla, bla...wheels are not stock.

If you have any parts for 122's or 123's, let me know...

 

This car and a Blues Brothers hat, you're good to go!

 

I know the pain of what you speak brother

 

Found outside the fallen down barn....not much of a find but it did give me enough stuff to make my 4 door project into a chopped coupe !

 

This was parked from 1981 untill I bought it in August.

 

i think its a hudson ??

 

The guy had this one in his barn for 15 years or so. Picked it up a little while ago.

 

got a 63' greenbier and a 64' greenbrier. The one with the missing front was in a barn since 1973 and the other since 1980.

 

1949 Silver Streak. Been in the barn 20 years.
Front sheet metal is in the car.

 

39 Chevy Master 85, once owned by California Bill Fisher.
He was going to build a gasser with a Jimmy in liner, we're
going to do a 60's style gasser with it !

 

Heard about this one at a party and took 2 months to track it down. Went from a car show (Trophy was on front seat) to a barn in July 1980. Was there for 30 years!

 

where im at... my biggest obstacle is finding a barn to begin with haha. With all the stuff i see you guys finding, im like man, i wish i found that!!

 

I have been "pickin" stuff out of barns for the last 20 years and I have tried to always get a photo of the car when I bring it home on the trailer. Here are just a few I have found...

 

Similar to that volvo, I found a '70 saab 99 in my boss's garage. Best part is I got it free! Yah! If anyone has any info on where I can get parts please let me know. Just so you know my next build is going to be a '69 'stang, or a model T or A.

PS: It is the coolest car saab ever built, so don't hate me!

 

More of a yard find last month. Was last registered in 1970. Had it "driving" next day

 

Corndog. You do know I hate you right!!
