Default 71 Barn Find - Pic's

Ok here are a couple of pic's before we began the task of loading onto a flatbed. It took us all day yesterday to get it home and I was too tired to mess with it any longer after that. I will try and get some more pic's in the next couple of days.

Too bad all of the barns in my area are torn down due to New Home Developments. Not a chance of ever coming across anything like this.
Nice find and enjoy the restoration. Remember to post tons of photos!

I live in the Mid West, and I'm planning a barn storm tour this summer. I hope to at least get lots of pics.

I've never seen the video, but ALWAYS loved the song. Goosebumps!

OK How do you put a price on a car like this? Most practical people would say its worthless junk. Some enthusiasts would want 10K for it's "Rarity". What's a fair offer ????
