Aero Barn Cars, they are still out there!

[70Sbird]

They sill exist!  
I had heard rumors about a stash of barn cars and parts for several years including 3 Q5 Turquoise cars, one supposedly had a wing! Saturday I got a chance to confirm the existence of these machines. The first "barn" had no less than 6 or 7 69 Chargers, and a handful of other cars, and a TON of parts and equipment, dealer signage etc.... And sure enough right there at the door was a Q5 Charger RT 440 4-speed car.


Sorry about the picture quality. I was having setting issues with my camera!
The outdoor shots came out great. I'll post more as I get time

[hemi68charger]

Holy Q5 batman !!!!!!!  I love Q5 and to be on a R/T that's a 440 4-speed !!!!!

Stupid but obvious question, any for sale or on the market or are they all potential future "restorations"?

Troy

[70Sbird]

Then I saw it  -  A Wing! Here was a partially disassembled Q5 Daytona, 440, black wing, black interior 4-Speed car!

Calm down Troy!!

[70Sbird]

Next to the Daytona was a pile of parts including the nose, fenders etc... and another Q5 car under a bunch of boxes here in the first picture.
This was a complete 69 RT car that was parked here years ago and has only had the battery removed. We opened the hood on this one.

[moparstuart]

wow   

[70Sbird]

wow   

These were just the Q5 cars, there were 2 Hemi Chargers in this building and about 10 cars total, in another building he has the "A" body stuff, and then a barn of parts, a couple of trucks and school busses full of parts, then his own "junkyard" out at the back of his property with another 20 or so cars. We never even got the chance to check out his "garage" just the outbuildings!

[hemigeno]

Then I saw it  -  A Wing! Here was a partially disassembled Q5 Daytona, 440, black wing, black interior 4-Speed car!

What did the fender tag read?  The 4-speed hump does look pretty original, but there's an auto brake pedal dangling there. 

Thanks for sharing your adventure/find - that's really cool stuff!

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Just wait for the rest of the pictures.......

As you can see Ryan, my photography (or at least camera) sucks!
I'm counting on you pics to be much better, this was just the teaser!

Oh !!!!!!!!!!!!!  Man,, they ARE still out there....................   soooooooooooo, does this make 4 Q5's? Wasn't the number 3 a widely held total or was that just known to exist?

5, and this would be the only four speed.

[pettybird]

and damn Scott I should have driven over...

[70Sbird]

and damn Scott I should have driven over...

My brain is still trying to process all of the parts/equipment and Cars there.
We had another photographer with us and he should have a TON of great pictures, it was absolutely unbelievable.
I'm pretty sure the Q5 Daytona is one of the known cars, but this gentlemen is simply a collector, and these are not going anywhere anytime soon would be my guess.
I am going to likely buy some "A" body stuff from him though if he will sell it for my Demon project.

[Blown70]

Great to see these cars are indoors/    I just wish they would be in a better state of repair but you know the guy has them and that is more than I can say....

Very nice he allowed you in to take photos too.... That is COOL  

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

What kinda crazy FOOLS would go into that mess?

Ryan

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

What kinda crazy FOOLS would go into that mess?

Also, mine came out OK.  The lighting or lack of really screwed up my Camera as well.  I got maybe 300 good ones out of 400.

Also... Shud and I found those Challenger Verts after you left in the guys garage......

Ryan

SORRY... I hit quote instead of Modify.

Geno, No fender tag on the car, but I believe he does have it. The story goes the car came from Florida and was taken to Missouri to be restorred, but due to an impending flood, he brought the car back up here and here it has been ever since. he also said that there was a 340 powering the car when he bought it in Florida

[moparstuart]

its looks amazingly like the barn i found my charger 500 in  

[maxwellwedge]

Yes it does!

[xs29j8Bullitt]

Impressive collection...  

I have a couple sets of similar pictures, but if I ever posted them I would be found at the bottom of Lake Worth with a small block Chevy block chained to my neck...

We don't want that........ After all, I think it's haunted.. If memory serves me correctly, there's a F-4 and B-52 down there........

Don't worry, we have censored all the license plate numbers, ends of VIN's and will not release his name.  He doesn't want to be known, so he won't.

Looks like it, but it isn't.  He didn't have any roll up doors like that.

Where is that barn where you got your 500 at?!?!

A B-52!  That must be some lake.

As for Scott - that had to be awesome.  Thanks for sharing the pics and reminding us why we look into every open barn/garage/storage bldg, etc...

I am sure that you and Scott will try to protect the owner's identity... my hope is that a cross-indexing guesser does not try to publically ID him...

On Moparts a few years ago I mentioned a friend's collection using only his first name and last initial... "someone" replied using his first initial and last name, and threw in the city he lived in for good measure...  

On the positive side, I sure am enjoying the pictures!!!

Yeap... I was active duty there from '87-'91 post-Desert Storm.................  That's when I stumbled across the Cowtown Mopar bunch...... 

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

I took 400 pics... so you guys will see it all.

Every time I would turn around I yelled out "Is that what I think it is?!?!?!?!"... Ask Scott, I was flipping out most of the time!

And then he said this was only the cars INSIDE..... the other 39 were out back....

[Blown70]

the other 39 were out back....

Another trip planned then? 

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

I actually got those pictures as well.  He took us down there in his truck.  You'll see them....

Here's an idea of what he had.  The 70 Charger in the middle... R/T, burnt orange, Gator Grain Top, 440 with A/C.  Wasn't "good" enough for the barn.

[69bronzeT5]

Holy crap....amazing finds

[70Sbird]

Here's another shot of the 70RT that Ryan mentioned above, a Barracuda notchback with a "Roots" Induction (Ryan gets the credit for saying this first), a cool old 2 door New Yorker, and one of two "Rag" (literally) tops out back.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Every once and a while something pops in my head that's actually funny.

It's a Roots Style Blower......

I've uploaded all the pictures to my flickr.... but I'm going to hold off showing them all until I get home and type up the whole story.  To put them all into context.  Otherwise you would just see a 70 Charger R/T SE 440-6 car with a Sunroof and not know anything about it!

Cough.... Cough....



Ryan

[Brock Samson]

 Why HEEELLLO SHOWCAR!!!

Hey Scott, was the 70 Charger R/T SE, the 440-6 car with sunroof in the first barn, was it a 4-speed car?  I can't remember?  Too much information to remember.

[dads_69]

Holy crap! FYI, I have a truck and trailer if you need help, of course there is a catch. I get to keep one. 
Damn, nice barn finds!!      

Mark

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Okay.... I think I'm going to need to break this adventure up even more.

It is going to be:

Barn One
Barn Two and Three
The Field
After the Barns

That way you guys won't be waiting forever for it in two installments because there is just SO MUCH.  I'll work on them when I get home after dinner.  I should have the first one up around 8ish I hope.

[70Sbird]

Ryan,
I don't think I even looked. I was still busy trying to get back to look into the Daytona whille you guys were over by the sunroof car, I also just realized there were three Red 69 Chargers there, two in the "back row" and then the other Hemi car over by the door

[rick.d]

Holy cow! Is this guy related to Steven Juliano or something?

[Magnumcharger]

Is this Ben Snobars' place?

[dads_69]

Not Ben Snobars place. Been there years ago, he had cars with hemi's in them but not real *hemi* cars number matching wise.

[472 R/T SE]

Looks like it, but it isn't.  He didn't have any roll up doors like that.

Don't worry, we have censored all the license plate numbers, ends of VIN's and will not release his name.  He doesn't want to be known, so he won't.

I can't believe you would even ask that. 

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

I'm always interested in the next hunt!  You can't find and document this stuff without asking!

I'm almost done linking the first blog.

I wish we had popped the hood of the second Hemi Charger, looked like the engine was still in there.

Troy

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Yeah, there was some LRE stuff, I just forgot to mention it.  Some cool stacks in front of the V-code charger.

[nascarxx29]

I dont doubt that there still out there for a minute .Some are out of the weather and some are not.  And having friends and customers that collected these cars for years.I make alot of houses call to get them up and running or needed parts.I got these back and running

[Brock Samson]

that link don't work, I Met him a couple Mos. back... took him for a blast in the charger...
i think he enjoyed it, he was hanging waaaay out the Pass. side of the Charger taking a video a few inches from the stopped cars in the slow lane,.. i admired his sand and thought he was cazy too... 

[nascarxx29]

I sent this existing link of garage load of cars to my friends with same conditions.And said you got guys some competition in the he who dies with the most toys wins contest

Well, "someone" apparently posted the gentleman's town name along with an aerial view of his place (now removed) on another forum...  


From the other forum:

Has anyone for the fun of it using google earth.I think Im over <town name removed> .Hold a sec what was that go back I think I seen something :biggrin:

(From the Mod who removed the pic):

I dont think the guy would appreciate you posting a
pic of his place.... I could be wrong

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

He actually posted here too, but these mods were nice enough to delete the post as well.

Barn Three and the immediate area blog are coming together.

Thanks everyone
