Barn find!! Olaf for Galena, Ohio
HEY!! Its my barn!! I have a 67 Sport Coupe survivor. My Dad bought it in 1967. I remember washing it for him as a kid. I loved it, dreamed about driving it all the time. I remember begging him to let me drive it to my Senior prom. He said NO, you’ll kill yourself in it ( lol he was right, if not me the car). I finally talked Dad into it in 1984. I wore him down, constantly asking him for it. She’d been setting in his barn for about 5 years! Took me about a month to get it going. It didn't take me long to rack up the tickets. I finally parked it in 85 before I lost my license. Its been sitting ever since, there should be a law against that!
Before you give me to much grief about letting her sit for 25 YEARS! (WOW! Where does the time go)? My 2010 New Year resolution is to get her running and to go take my Dad for a ride. I know I have a lot of work to do for a car sitting that long. But I did pickle the engine in 89 when my first son came along. (kids no extra money for car). I'm sure I will have some questions, but that's why I found you guys, to help me out.
Happy New Year!

25 year hibernation
Thanks guys, Here are some pictures. If I can figure how to load them. I haven't neglected her completely. She hasn't run since 1985, but she was in the back of my heated race shop for the first 14 years. I built a 40'x60' barn and moved her home in 99. Were shes been up on jack stands ever since. 62,188 miles 327, 350
Cheers, O
