barn and field finds

GTX
GSX, yup, real one

Z code 63 1/2 Galaxie , that means high performance, and highly desireable
They're still out there, and some are never going to part ways with the nimrod that owns it, and tells every possible buyer "Someday I'll restore it" but will die before he ever touches that car again, meanwhile it rusts so much no one can do anything with it.
But every now and then, the owner has forgotten the car was even hanging around because it faded into the background of the family farm

Barnfind Shelby AC Cobra, and a one owner, less than 7.4 thou miles '62 Benz 300SL roadster getting auctioned by Gooding Jan 21st

Said to be the only unrestored Cobra in blue and red livery, the '64 AAC Cobra spent 33 years in "storage" yet comes off as surprisingly lustworthy in spite of that. It began life as Carroll Shelby's promo car at SoCal racing venues, was pulled from the deeep barn sleep to do the 2010 Pebble Beach

barnfind 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz



it sat in the garge 30 years, was found by http://www.vintagesportscars.com/vintage_car_barn_finds.html who saw it once and then 6 years later the old woman who bought it new finally sold it to him and he extracted it from the garage.
Stupidly, after all the trouble of getting it, he didn't keep it. Dumb ass traded it for construction work that was never completed.
