    This is my first Barn Find....found it by luck alone. I was rubber necking as I was doing my typical yard selling and picking. I come accross a house with an old sewing machine base outside....rusty thing but I can see it would clean up and with a new wood top momma would be happy...
    Well I get to dealing with the elderly fella on some stuff and he's selling....and THEN he mentions that he has an old car in one of his barns!!!! Now Im paying attention!

    Well...I get to see it. and a week later...it's mine. I've promised not to touch it till the car I'm on now is done. I very far from being done with a 28 Ford Tudor. Now I have a 29 Ford Roadster waiting in line.

    great find. I hope one day I can find me a cool old car and have the money to buy it at the same time.

    The lower quarters need work. It's had some work done to it back in the 60's or so. Has been in garage for 40+ years. Missing the rear fenders...well one actually blew out of the trailer on the way back...found that out later at a rest stop. I didnt turn back....

    Some guys have all the luck, the only thing I have ever found in a barn was old manure.

    What a neat find, it seems that only coupes and roadsters were tucked away in barns !!! Cool car, JW :)

    Nice find, not starting on it would be a challenge though.
