If anyone could rescue all these cars, and would want to in the first place, it'd be him

There is a mustang in a barn on one of the roads going toward my aunts house in Gurley. Next time we go out there I will try to get a picture of it.

I asked about it. Need more info. Maybe rust. Mice eating holes, doesn't run. Stuff like that.

Looks to be a '95 model. They probably thought it might be a collectible someday since it was the last year for the 5.0

Already sold (Tuesday). It was in Cullman. Guy said an old lady had it in her garage under a bedspread for 20 years. Sounded like a good deal. I called at 8AM and someone was already on the way with cash and a rollback...

You're right - it's been there for years. Just past the prison on the right as you go to Athens.

Just remembered there is a 60s truck across from Monrovia Elementary that has weeds growing around it and the guy won't sell it or move it.

Maybe the ultimate barn find of all time. Opening bid was $500 with no reserve. This was one of the long lost Super Duty Pontiac Tempest race cars:

This guy was apparently helping someone out by listing it. Wonder if he got half? He had no idea what he was selling, had a buy it now of $4000, and someone offered him $500,000 to stop the auction. kennyg

Found - another barn full near Guntersville:

Met a gentleman yesterday - had two Panteras, an Avanti, a Pacer, a Hennessey Viper, a Corvette, a '72 Chevy truck, '71 Lincoln Mark III, and other various later model Lincolns, Cadillacs, etc.
