'70 Mach 1, with a 428 CJ and a Hurst rowed 4 spd, 50k miles, spent 46 years stored in a barn until the guy finally convinced the widow to sell it, and pull a wall off her barn to get it out the "easy" way instead of moving the car collection anchored in front of it preventing thieves from stealing it


Pam held onto it after her husband Phil passed away. Phil and Pam weren't the original owners, but they took care of the car through the 1970s and eventually parked it in the barn somewhere in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

Last driven in 1976-79, but without really adding any miles since the1976 inspection
 

watch the video all the way through, it's so damn satisfying to see the dirt of nearly 50 years washed off
or skip to 26:35 to see the incredibly nice original paint that hasn't been in sunlight since the disco era

    she will regret selling it as soon as she finds out how much profit he makes on the quick flip,
    I bet it will be for sale in a couple of weeks for 10X what he paid her for it.
    like the guy in Georgia that sold his Stutz Bearcat to the fine upstanding Wayne Caranni , he convinced them to sell it for $39K, then he quick flipped it for a cool half a million just a few months later.
    I dont have any cool non running classics, but if I did, theyd rust into the ground before I sold them to a flipper. why dont the owners of the barn find cars just take them to the auction themselves and get the nig payday instead of letting the flippers have all the money?
