    This weekend I went to go see a 63 Impala that was for sale just outside of town. Check out what was in this guys barn. I would have taken more pics but the battery in my camera died.

    Cool stuff! And it looks like they're working on some of them, not just sitting there. Gotta love the '80's girlie posters!

    So didja buy the car? Was he selling other stuff too?

    Everything was for sale. This dude is very cool, a real hot rodder. He has at least 40 cars and trucks all over the place. I'm going to go back and take more pics.

    He let me roam all over the place and snap away!

    As for the 63, he told me he'd get back to me on wednesday with a price.

    I like the 80s girlie posters too! VERY cool of him to let you take pictures of everything! Seems like those guys usually hate cameras. Hope you get the Impala, and thanks for sharing the pics!
     
  25. thank goodness that mad cow disease has allowed this barn space to be put to better use... the guy isnt a vegan yet as the stalls and stanchions have not been removed... the cows may come home...

    MINNESOTA ,WISC IOWA AND CANADA....BARN FINDS ARE THE BEST CUZ WE TAKE CARE OF OUR BARNSES... AND FARMERS DON'T THROW ANYTHING OUT THEY MAY USE SOMEDAY...THEY SMELL GOODER TOO...
