"Barn-Find" Stockers?

Billy Nees · 11-23-2018, 08:15 PM

I found my Gold Nova in a cow barn about 15 miles from the house. Are there any other "barn-finds" out there?

I found my rust free Duster back under a lean to beside a small barn back in 2000. Maybe 15-20 miles from my house. Bought it from the original owner (lady) and drove it around a few years first. Never thought to take pictures, wish I had.
One thing I like about the stock class, the car can be put back on the road easily.

A while back I had heard that Aaron and Greg Stanfield were looking for the Camaro that Howard raced in East Texas at I-20, Hallsville and Whitehouse. I knew it had moved around to several people. I had heard that Greg Williams had owned it. I had a good idea where it was. The guy that owned it lived just a few miles from my house and his son had talked to me about the car. So I got with Aaron Stanfield and told him where I thought the car was. A few weeks he texted me to tell me he had bought his Grandfather's car & they were going to restore it back to like it was in the 1970's era. I was reading this thread and began to wonder about the restoration. I have misplaced his & Gregg's contact info.
Does anyone have any info about their progress. I'm interested because I watched Greg play (as a kid back in the 70's) in the pits when I ran Whitehouse Dragway and his Dad (Howard) raced the Camaro.
