Not the most whizz-bang of barnfinds, but my ZL was one. Same with an XF sedan in a barn on my friends property that im interested in. No pics of the XF yet.

id quite happily pay the 15-20k for that. be interesting to see what the sisters thought it was worth though, maybe theyve flicked through unique cars a few too many times, seen too many monaros and gts gone for silly money in recent times.

i'm guessing some will pay $25k
i'd pay $15k straight away if the missus let me hope they prime the oil pump before they start it, those holden pumps are useless when left for along time

Personally I don't see the point of folk having these cars sit in a barn and just deteriorate.
All they're doing is denying others for the sake of a couple of bucks. Sell them for a reasonable price while they're worth something and not just a pile of rust. |

The year is 1989, 36 Corvette's, one off each model from 1953 to 1989 where offered as first prize in a competition to promote the cable music channel VH1.....That's all 36 as the first prize!!....the story of the vette's goes downhill from there though.....sad

i guess it doesnt matter to them right?there is no logic to it .
I know first hand because my brother did the exact same thing with his 2 owner coupe..near on 20 years sitting and wouldnt sell it because it was his frst car and he couldnt let go of the memories.. its completely rusted out.

yep, I reckon in a lot of cases they kid themselves that some day they or someone else will restore it, or they will get to drive it again
esp, for the older gents. It must suck growing old and the car is a link to the past and great memories for many of these barn cars owners |

When i was a kid i remember being picked up in my dads john goss special coupe was awesome loved it he sold it to a mate all those years ago for $5000 and a couple of years ago he sold his xc gs ute now my dad has a 1982 ford transit van and a 1966 chev impala just sitting on his farm going to waste :( my uncle has a 4 door 1957 chev bel air which is being restored.
More of a paddock find but my mate has a ford capri gt just sitting out in the paddock detoraiting it really has seen better days aswell as an rx2 rotor which is pretty gone but then theres one which is a really nice blue with suede bucket seats and door trims with a 12a it truly is a nice rx2 cappella wish he would sell it. my other uncle has some kind of monaro maybe ht / hk just sitting in his shed with a 327 in it i think and my aunties ford 500 wish i had the money to buy half of these i no were theres heaps like chargers etc back home in nsw

unfortunately didnt have a camera yesterday but had a look from about 5m at what looks like a genuine "barn find" but in the western suburbs of little old adelaide! yellow blaze xb coupe,factory 302 rear window louvre(the one that all of us chase for our coupes). car has the "goss" type decal on each quarter panel, looked arrow straight, no wheel arch moulds, and original issue sa number plates with blowden ford along the base of the number plate so obviously a bowden ford car also. no visible rust at all just lots and lots of dust on the roof!

i don't want to part with them because they were my babies for me to consider selling them i would have to be offered so much i would be ripping off the potential buyer - a catch 22. one of us will be ripped, so i will no doubt keep them for all eternity not really fair if someone needs that one part, but they do have an emotional attachment hard to believe for some, but after 14 years of dreaming and 25+ years of ownership, they mean something to me cars in barns and the like are sad, but you have to wonder how many well meaning people make offers so pathetic to the owners, that no one would let the cars go for that price it takes two to tango, and both the owner and the prospective buyer could give a little, but most buyers seem to want everything for bottom dollar, which offends the person who has owned it for years - and endured either storage fees, an eye sore in his yard, strangers knocking on his door etc. etc. and of course, many of the door knockers looking to help the owner, by taking the rust bucket off their hands are just looking to off load it for a profit no doubt many are also hoping to see a classic back on the road, but so many now are caught up with the dollar value that the whole idea of someone offering to buy your car has been tainted by these opportunistic people |

it is sad that they can end up like that, but what could anyone have expected i know how hard it is to look after 1 car over 25 years with 4 different residences, so giving 1 person 36 cars is seemingly ridiculous to me i guess the new owner could have sold them, but if vh1 had any common decency, they might have let each car go to a different owner that way maybe some would have received loving owners from the start and those who didn't really want the car might have on sold it to an owner who deserved it |
