Cars in Barns
#87
not for sale ?? then why display something so prominantly in your front yard ... could be just like another mustang i know of near me .. sits 20 feet off the road at an old house and is not for sale .. the old retired gentleman uses it as conversation bait to get folks to stop and talk to him .. his daughter bought it new in 66 or so and drove it to death and now it sits decaying .. he wont let me post a pic of it ( i promised i would not )

Skippy, that looks a lot like that car in Morgan City near your house (where the green '69 fb also sits). I know that the green car is a 390 car, not sure about the '70. Been there for many years, floorpans are probably gone by now.

The only way to get these kind of cars is to wait for the geezer to die. Most times "the kids" sell everything off and go back home to wherever they are living. Grandpas or Dads stash doesnt mean much to them(usually)

sad but very true .. most times it`s just a matter of being lucky and hitting the kids up as soon as the old folks pass on.. the same thing is happening with land all around me as the old landowners die the kids are selling the family farms and getting rich ...the " root " of all evil quote has never been truer

man what some finds. As of right now I know where a 70 fairlane, 63 impala, and 58 belair, 71 fastback, 69 Q code mach 1, 69 302 boss, 70 fastback, 70 mach 1 are siting just rotting away.. This annoys me VERY much.

Awesome thread guys! Hoss429, I've lived here in the northwest corner of Alabama all my life, and I've never seen any of these cars. Love to get out sometime and hunt a few. Let's see some more. I really like the ones whose owners are "going to fix it up one day." Why don't they just sell? Let someone work on it that has the resources and time.

you just got to hit those back roads.. this car amases the most of any .. sits behind a barn near me .. plenty have offered good money for it .. the owner wont sell .. it no doubt has a race history as it has a roll cage and some stickers and you can tell where a big # was on the door . i didnt pop the hood nor do i remember what the emblem said .. mite be a big block car
