[gtx6970]

Joe dirt would give you a cool $1000 for it.

I'm afraid it needs so much more than that .

A buddy of mine owned this car for nearly 30 years and never did anything with it besides collect parts.

New owner bought it back in Oct or Nov.
He got it home and immediately set about just to get it back into one piece and running/driving.

Original 440 4spd , 4.10 Dana car. B5 blue , black wing , black interior. Car was involved in a nasty accident back in the mid 70s and sat in a junkyard I think was up around Portsmouth Ohio for a bit.

[charger chris]

[moparstuart]

Joe Dirt would be proud    glad my buddy got a real one finally

I just saw this car posted on a FB page as another barn find.  Why is everything now called a barn find?

What difference does it make Who owned it ? Actual names are irrelevant. And  Im not comfortable blasting  names on forums and/or social media. 

The current owner is a member here ,  if he wants his name posted  that's HIS decision not mine.
