They "found" it in a car shelter.. and now it's in a barn with hay pitch forked all around it!  Was it not hard to place those round bails the past 30 years with that car in the way!

Do you wing guys think it will really sell for that much?

[birdsandbees]

Probably, but if you want to give me similar for my DRIVING bird I won't hesitate!

My Charger had green moss growing on it & house for mice, rats, cats, ect. I should push it in a barn, take a pic & call it a barn find. Should make it worth double then. LEON.

[birdsandbees]

Build a car port over it Leon.. makes it worth double and you get to keep the shelter!

I really liked this story at first but like birdsandbees mentioned that the "barn find" factor was BS. Look at those wonderful pics taken of that Daytona just sitting there in a barn next to the bails of hay. And oh let's throw in a live barn animal as a prop. Give me an FN break! I'm so sick of this barn find BS. It's ruining the car restoration hobby IMO. I swear people go all out of their way so that they can consider it a "barn find". Examples:

A pole building in the back yard on a suburban property, a barn find.

A service shop/garage in a deserted town, a barn find.

An attached garage in a rural area, a barn find.

A 2nd gen. un-restored Charger sitting in a pristine garage and then towed to an old building or even a barn to take pics, a barn find.

Okay I'm done venting

[hemi-hampton]

Why or what makes a barn find worth anymore then a non barn find is what I'd like to know? Anybody know the answer to this?  LEON.

Am I out of the loop on the values of Daytonas ? Weren't there real nice running/driving Daytonas for sale on this board for low/mid $100k's ?
Def staged into that position for pics , tires still full of air Seems very high expectations for what it is going to bring . I would think $50-70k .
There is a red one here in Ct that the owner told me he would take $70k for it , and by the way he described it , it is nicer than this barn find car . This was 2 years ago .

[birdsandbees]

Oh look, it's a marine container find! Almost forgot I'd put it in there 14 years ago...

Wow. If I really wanted to sell my Q5 Daytona, I would want it in that auction. The ridiculously-high reserve I would place on it would seem like a bargain compared to this one!   

[bakerhillpins]

Comments section posts up another story on it

http://www.hotrod.com/cars/barn-finds/1511-barn-find-1969-dodge-daytona-charger-discovered-in-alabama/

with the following quote?

We know that relatively few Daytonas were built with bucket seats, automatic transmission, and a console, and this is one of them.

So let me get this straight, they want $150,000 - $180,000 for that car as is, unrestored?      I guess there's an a$$ for every seat. Will be interesting to see what it sells for.

Q5 daytona.. ..
