Anybody notice the increased barn finds going around?
 

as a car enthusiast I look around read and I am fascinated by some of the cars that are found.

One place that has become rampant is Facebook and the so called barn finds. Everyday there is several NEW barn finds its pretty sad that these people make up these stories just to get attention.

I have inquired as to maybe there for sale and if pictures were available etc. Excuse after excuse of why they cant go or it is raining out or a hurricane just went through Ohio lol just lies. Anyways appreciate all the syc does and the group of guys who help make it clean!

Well it is what I do for a living, driving around documenting these cool cars.

There are tons of cool cars hidden out there. You never know until you start talking to people and letting them know what you're looking for that they come out of the woodwork.

I post daily about stuff I've found.

I like the chain around the post and the spoiler/wing. That'll keep someone from stealing it.

So far so good!

Yep, the chains still there! Nobody's stolen it yet:rolleyes2:

Dave and I have had our fair share of amazing finds recently...

-1967 Corvette L36 Convertible survivor, born with drivetrain
-1970 Boss 429 Mustang survivor, born with drivetrain
-1962 Corvette factory RPO 488 big tank

Moral of the story - hunt all leads. Be patient but pounce hard.

I don't think it's as much about the quantity of finds lately as it it about the amount of avenues presenting them.

I'm sure Dan (MosportGreen66) can attest to with their finds, I only mentioned the Yenko Chevelle find to Muscle Car Review because the author called to ask final questions about another feature car they were doing for us. He said my timing was perfect as they had an upcoming 'Barn Find" issue and this fit perfectly. ALL of the other venues that ran the story picked them up from MCR or elsewhere as I never contacted any of them. I think it all boils down to the new social media as it really does work.

How about this Dick Harrell Camaro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_uJJUwvm4M
