1969 Superbee stored since 1976... proof that cool cars are still getting pulled out of garages from decades of "I'll get to it someday"

found on https://www.facebook.com/groups/dcsboc/ the Super Bee, R/T, and Coronet owners club facebook page

I'm excited to see the old rims, tires, license plates and spray cans are displayed with it... Pennsylvania plates, and the car was just photographed at Carlisle 

Looks like a barn find race car collection in a barn, in Europe, gathering dust... and there is no information about it! (3 Shelby AC Cobras just in these 4 photos!)

found on http://www.flickr.com/photos/ian-alexander/with/7603594292/ but all the photos are marked http://www.blenheimgang.com/ but after looking around that site I did not find a post about this collection... damn you Ian Alexander for teasing!

the barn find 427 SC Shelby AC Cobra, CSX 3047 spent most of the last 25 years on storage

and the photo below is of the top of the air filter pie tin.

the word on the Jockey Journal is that the company of Stelling and Hellings went out of business in the 60's,  and sold air filter housings, and motorcycle handlebars http://www.jockeyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10084

I learned of this last november: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/11/anthony-boosalis-found-65-cobra-427-sc.html

A barnfind Diamond T that's been buried since 1965 among a families things in their barn brings a Bonneville connection

 Not very clearly written out on the webpage with these images is that this barnfind Diamond T was one of a few sold by the Utah dealership that was Ab Jenkins sponsor and trucking help during his Mormon Meteor II Bonneville record setting runs.

Above is from the same dealership, and since I've never posted a Diamond T tow truck, I had to do it.

Thanks to Don! http://imageevent.com/shaggy/lsrdiamondt

the last 4 are from my post about the movie "Boys of Bonneville" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/07/movie-review-of-boys-of-bonneville-in.html?showComment=1366481639147#c7656346948366419572

the barnfind Evinrude outboard powered bicycle, up close with details. Found in the Don Laughlin Museum exhibit

my best guess is that the outboard motor, through a flex drive, operates a reduction gear housing hidden from view by the front fender, but the drive wheel can be seen riding on the front wheel in the above photo, through a cut out in the fender. An idler wheel rolls a v drive belt via a shaft, and that spins the cooling fan in front of the radiator.

this might have been stored since the moment some mom had the scare of her life seeing her boy ride it.

Evinrude seems to have made, or licensed its name to bicycles: http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?16024-Finally-find-a-good-bike-and-its-a-darned-boys-bike&p=79860#post79860

Barnfind GTO story

It was rumored that the Travel Channel would have a show about barn finds, but it seems like that didn't work out. Nothing on their website even results on a search function about it

this photo is all I can find on Corky Coker's blog about barn finds, and since it was his barn find show that the Travel Channel http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows was rumored to have last fall, I think this means it didn't work out

Yellow Bullet.com has a thread going about cars found in barns, fields, garages and backyards...

A Baldwin Motion

Just a reminder that critters and snakes all love the secret hiding spots in cars, and I've seen a couple photos of mean snakes that are hanging out under the hood waiting for you to pop it open.

10,000 mile 1960 VW Kombi bus pulled from 45 years of heated storage

Back in 1960 a guy thought a mobile donut selling operation would be a good business to bring to factories during break time. Things didn't work out well, and the van was put into storage for 45 years. One of about 40 made.

Some people wait a lifetime to find a great car, some find it when they are a teen, and wait a lifetime to won it. Mark was a fortunate rarity, he got both the car he desired 30ish years ago, and it's a barnfind 1969 GT 500 Shelby Mustang

photos from http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/71189-barn-find-gt500/

Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office. Once it went into the freight elevators and into that warehouse it was off the radar... til the attorney finally mentioned selling it to the single person that could reunite it with the once teenage neighbor kid

The original 428 was blown early, and replaced with a 390, but the sale went through at 25 thousand to Mark, because he'd known the seller since the 80's and the seller knew it was going to a good home finally
