Here are some Challengers I found sitting in a barn and a Hemi Charger the guy drives.

The next part is going to be a bit sad.  But I'll leave that for next time.

Yes, there is a small fortune in parts for a restorer in that barn.

Cool story...although I'm a little scared as to what that burnt orange challenger might end up like if he uses drywall screws for trim repair :)

While this isn't my usual rotting away story.  It still has a very sad end.

That is sad indeed. 

At least his son probably appreciates his fathers cars almost as much as his father. 

That is quite the collection of cars.   

Probably one of my top favorites from your many barn finds.
