Default Split Window Barn Find
Drug this home a couple days ago.







Pretty much all the parts are there it just needs restored. I can’t wait to start on it and the restoration will be part of our YouTube channel. It was customized back in the 70s and has been sitting with the current owner since the early 80s I believe. The restoration will be showcased on our youtube channel Godsil Industries.

The “barn” is next to the car where it was in up until about a year ago. There is still a 66 427 coupe inside. The 65 convertible and this split window we took home and will probably get the 66 next spring.
