ELECTRIC CAR: barnfind

Barn finds, a year in review of what's been pulled out, put up for sale, or auctioned off

That is a barn, sometimes they are easy to distinguish, and sometimes, they look like a lot of wood in a vague pile that might have space under it

Inside you mghight find a pile of stuff... like the above 1961 Renault Carvelle, or even better the below 1956 Jaguar xk 140.

Or sometimes you might just see that pile has a tail light under it. Right in the above photo to the bottom left

or the above pile with a hood and a bit of windshield

turns out to be a 1969 GTO

Look in the back, a lot of people are not happy about every poor out of money dreamer asking if they want that car hauled away, and so they pushed it around to the back of the garage

or threw a tarp over it. Above, a 68 Mustang, below, a Boss 302 Mustang

So.. that is about all you need to know about barnfinds, now, here are the ones that were up for sale last year

1947 Pontiac woody (these woodys are worth upward of 50 thou in this condition)
