Default Barn find?

I found this in a barn near my friend's house near Flint, MI.







Took it home and washed it up. Looks pretty good next to my Z06, huh?

Default Skunk stripe?

That skunk stripe would definitely have to go. But, everyone has different tastes.

It doesn't look like it's been in the barn for very long.

It's a 1970 Coupe with an L88 hood and vintage Ansen Sprint wheels.

Under the hood is an LS1 and 6-speed!






The "barn find" part was a joke between my friends and I because I put the car away for winter storage last year and kind of forgot about it. I finally went up to my friend's barn and brought it back home yesterday. I've owned the car for ~20 years and did a body-off about 15 years ago. The paint is nowhere near perfect but it's a decent driver. I haven't driven it much in the last few years so it may be for sale soon.
