I recently bought a car that was in a back yard shed ( no barn ) since 1984 but I haven't posted anything about it because of all the negative comments I read on here when someone does post a find they made. I know,I know, it is probably just a few jealous sour members but it sure ruins it for the rest. I guess when it gets to a point to where a nevative outlook on life is all you have then that is what makes you happy. I myself love to read about others good fortune and see the pictures of a car just seeing the light after many years. Just my two cents.
Nothing negative In what I posted, was more curious about the term " barn find" which the guys have had a laugh with me about and have been kind enough to explain, my opinion for what it's worth is one can't have too many toys and doesn't matter where you find em, apologies if you took my post, the wrong way
