recent barn find
« on: April 20, 2014 - 12:07:36 AM »
I found this car in sacramento buried in someones backyard. I know it looks like it came from a swamp. A little rust in the trunk and on right fender and a little on both front and rear window gutters. It has not been on the road for 22 years. Seems to all be there except for the instrument cluster and the intake and carb.  I love to see barn finds so I thought id share this one.

Any guess on what this project would be worth? Trying to see how good of a deal I got or didn't get. Its a 383 magnum with auto trans.

I know this car was supposed to have a vinyl top but why the rivet looking holes around the back window?

I would say $5K-$7K maybe as it sits. Maybe more if it turns out to be super rust free. :2cents:
