Great pics. Neat barn find. Looks like the motor and trans are missing from the car. I like the window sign that says do not wash or take out in the rain. That guy is going to worry himself to death over dust. Thanks for posting the pics.

O. K. It was found in a barn. Is that the original barn floor and straw it's sitting on?
I believe 100% in original cars, but I don't get it. It's value is in what it once was, not what it is now. To me it's just a curiosity now.
Thanks very much for the pictures. They gave me something to think about this afternoon.
Regards,
Alan

The red motion car makes my stomach feel not-so-good.

The orange egg-crate car is so hot it's cool!

Alan, that car is actually listed on Pro-Team's web site. It mentions the car is available for display or exhibition.

I imagine the straw is just part of the whole presentation. It would be better with the motor.

I think Pro Team was looking to get $200K for the car as is....

Yeah, $200k for the barn L-88 in its current "Survivor, oops, survivor" condition. And some day Hillary will be Secretary of State...................
