Default Re: Barn Finds, cars left for dead.

A couple I know of. Down in Madison, Indiana, where Tod's daughter lives. There's a 68 Camaro that an old man owns (along with a bunch of other cars in his yard). Looks decent and salvagable, he won't talk to anyone about it.

Not a great car but my next door neighbor has a 77 Corvette that probably has less than 10k just setting in the driveway. Story we got, bought the car new, his wife didn't like the car. He only drove it a couple years and just parked it. It's in pretty sad shape paint wise. Don't know about it mechanically. Am sure it could be bought but he's pretty unrealistic on selling things.

I probably missed out on a usable car. A good friend that I shared another hobby with inherited a house and property. We met he and his wife for dinner a few weeks back. He told me that there was a 66 4 door Nova in the garage. It didn't have an interior, motor or transmission. They traded the car for some tree removal.
