[hemi68charger]

Wow...... Very cool....

Bring me up to speed........ A real XX29-post-Jan.01-1969-car?

[r4daytona]

Thanks Stuart, I haven't even seen that photo yet. lol  I kind of wanted to be left in the dark to add to the "surprise" factor, so I haven't really asked Mark for pictures.  I've seen a few on his facebook.  He's got a couple weeks of down time (so to speak)now before he starts Season 3 so he's going to post some update for all you guys.  He tried the other day, but the photos were to big, so he tried again but kept getting an error message about already posting it??  All he has left to fit is the nose! Strangely, I wanted to experience the fun of fitting the nose. You guys make it sound so simple! lol
Maybe on the next Daytona

"The Barn" is actually a small, wooden shed.

That shed is getting famous.

There should be some kind of marker put up out on the highway  

[r4daytona]

I wish I had a couple pictures of that shed.  I want to build a model of it in the shed.  Can anybody help with that?

Very cool.  What city in IL was the car found? 

I'm sure there was a post about this before that I missed.

The bullshit story that's been going around the internet about this car is:

DAYTONA!

Found in a barn !

Hidden away for decades!


It's all BULLSHIT.

The Daytona sat in that little wooden shed for maybe five years before the flippers found out about it and offered the guy STUPID money for it.

Then...they lost their asses on it.

Before that the owner had it in his garage, until he and his girlfriend split up and he had to move.

So he stuffed it in the little wooden shed on his family's farm.

The owner had purchased the car a few years prior from a well known wing car guy who has had multiple wing cars over the years, he got it from another long time multiple wing car owner.

After the owner put it away in the shed, the car was not for sale, but a lot of people new about it, so when the big money offer came from the flippers, the money was just too good to pass up.

The mythical "Found in a barn" Story is all hype stirred up by the flippers to generate interest in the car they were attempting to sell at a profit.

Y'all fell for it...


"The owner" still gets a chuckle out of it...

"Barn find" does tend to be used a lot now-a-days.

sometimes you find your own car buried in your own barn

sometimes you find your own car buried in your own barn  

that might be the best quote of the year.

this move was in 97 then i had to dig it out again a couple years ago to move and it ,  that was like finding it all over again  

[r4daytona]

I agree that it wasn't a "barn find", I was just glad that I found it!  So maybe we can all hold hands and call it a "garage sale"?  Can't we all just get along?
