Default I found another barn car!!

I keep coming across these car for some reason? It is a 1970 coupe, 4speed, 350/350hp. Marlbrough maroon paint in black interior. Car is currently painted orange, and has the headlight assemblies glassed over. It needs the motor rebuilt. It has a spun bearing.
i think i am going to buy this one to resell. I can get it for 2800.00. This is way to good of a deal. It has been sitting in a storage barn since 1989 with the motor apart.
What i am curious about is the paint. Were there alot of theses cars with this color? :D

All right, what's your secret for seeing through those barn walls? Those x-ray glasses with the spirals on the lenses?

I run across "stored" vettes around here quite a bit, but they're always "stored" in a driveway or some empty lot so they're long rotted.

This one was stored in the back of a Mopar performance shop of all places. Well it is actually a back yard mopar performance barn. It's been there for years. I only went there to borrow a cherry picker for my motor. :D
