While on a fact finding mission for a couple of buddies

[detmatt]

Jer and I ran across this tasty barn find! Location of which to be kept secret as its not for sale. This silver over red '69 GTX hasn't moved in 30 years and the owner hadn't even set his eyes on it in several years! Very few options, not even a console. But silver over red!!!

 

[detmatt]

We also stopped here for a photo opp! That would be Jer riding shotgun. I couldn't get him to look at me and smile for Will...

Striking photos. You need to frame the top one!
OH!! Nice find.. What do you think lies in its future?

 

[detmatt]

They insist a a 40K resto but have to sell a Peterbilt first. My guess is that it sets there until its too late and are then shocked it's not worth anything when they finally decide to bail. I hope not but...

What's this Jer? No St Pauli girl in your hand?

 

[commando1]

"No, it's not for sale. I'm gonna fix'er up some day...."

Wow a silver over red GTX...very pretty combo.

I tried to buy a 68 Coronet R/T Convertible...Hemi/auto car in those colors many years ago. Car was missing drivetrain. The car was a complete basket case and had literally sunk into the ground. The K member had rusted through!! I had a friend go check it out for me and said that the car looked more like Swiss cheese. Guy insisted it was worth huge money....I offered him $10K for it, which was way more then it's was worth.

great! I like the colour combo of the GTX a lot.
Front seats look like being eaten by mice or rats.

Cool car I would like to drive, too

I think raccoons are calling this and the other gem home. There's literally a mid sized critter skeleton in the trunk of this X.

Love those barn finds...... Shame..... That would be a beautiful car to bring back to OEM. 69 Plymouth is my favorite B body.

OH...... Jer...... You don't have to smile.... Just look interesting....

What year and model peterbilt is for sale?

 

[detmatt]

Not the slightest idea but if you want me to inquire, I suppose I could.

Now we all know better, all Jerry does is smile and tell jokes . That looks like a giant Walter doll.

Aw, shut the hell up david

No that's alright if I tried to bring another truck home I think that would be the final nail in the divorce coffin all I did was mention a kenworth that a guy is selling and I thought I was going to have to sleep in the truck. Thanks

That's funny ****..... Get your woman under control.

Barn finds photos and stories get me wound up! There's hope that they are still out there!

 

[detmatt]

I think there's a lot of them left.

It can be amazing what turns up.... Even when your not looking.
In the past 15 years the highlights of my barn finds include a 71 V code Challenger 4sp... (I bought it), A 1970 V code Cuda with 19K original miles... ( I told a friend who bought it). A 70 black & black V code road runner in a salvage yard... ( I bought it), and the 70 U code road runner I found a couple of months ago.
I've uncovered several others but those are the cream of the crop.

Can't wait to see what turns up next.....
