MrEarl Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ditto! The ad says "complete" and refers it is a project so would think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC-car-guy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If it's truly all original would this be more of a preservation vs restoration candidate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormade Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 It sure looks straight. I wonder about the paint - it almost looks like black primer. With the chrome looking that good, it's hard to believe the paint would have oxidized that much. I'd love to know a bit more about the history of this car. Distance and my current project prevent anything more than just drooling, but someone is going to get a really neat car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KongaMan Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Notice how "barn find" is the new buzzword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, I am happy to see the term used to sell an old car. It has become part of the hobby jargon and invokes a certain nostalgia. It usually means a family could not stand to part with a member of the family. I dunno. In my experience, it's often used to put lipstick on a pig. That is, they use the term "barn find" to invoke an image of a valuable car that was stashed away years ago, when its more likely to be a POS, partially disassembled car that was buried under a mountain of junk because it didn't run.

lancemb Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Dang that's cool! If it hasn't been monkeyed with too much it may very well be a preservation candidate, maybe with limited repair or touch ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancemb Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hmmm actually does look like it's been primered. So much for preservation in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
