Did any of you guys ever visit this site?

http://www.carsinbarns.com/

I have spent quite a bit of time there -- and I'm sure everyone can come up with at least one vehicle in their area that would fit on this site.

I can think of quite a few around here, whether they're cars, big trucks, farm tractors, etc. that when inquired about the same answers are usually heard: "it ain't for sale" or better yet: "I'm gonna restore that someday".

Like the 1936 Farmall F-20 at the farm across the road from me. It was pulled up to the edge of the woods near one of the upper fields around 1969 and has sat there ever since. The tires have sunk in to the rims and a tree had grown around the steering post and was starting to damage the radiator core! Every movable part was also rusted fast, but the owner claims that "It was Pap's -- one day we're gonna pull it down to the garage and fix it up again" :P YEAH, RIGHT! :D

I'm pretty sure this Plymouth is a 1941. It's along one of the routes I used to travel frequently here in PA. I'd say it's been there a while too -- and I doubt you'd need to use the running board to help you climb in. :D

Sheesh, Greg! That wouldn't be good. :P

I know quite a few years ago my uncle traded a rough '35 Ford coupe for two '63 Galaxies and I watched the coupe tear in two while they were trying to get it on the rollback. :D

TT,

Nice link. I also heard that "It ain't for sale!" and the "I'm going to restore that someday!". (Hey, wait a minute - I said that a time or two also! :D )
