I never knew there was that many barns still standing until the term "barn find" became popular!

How about this for a “barn find”

1970 Chevelle SS 454 4-speed, literally saved from the crusher. GM of Canada documentation, sold at a local dealer and always stayed local. It’s been parked since 1982 for reasons unknown. It was slowly parted out until I found it and bought what remained. The car is white with black stripes and ivory interior, very rare color combination. Bucket seats, console, & cowl induction too!

I don't see it noted as coming from the factory with ZL-2 Cowl Induction?
Nice find & save,wish it came with full gauges too or I'd make you a serious offer.

If you guys wanna laugh, this is actually my second local 1970 Chevelle LS5 M22 car I’ve found. The first one was cranberry red with black stripes & saddle interior. It had the gauge package & cowl induction. GM of Canada documented too. A lot of Oshawa cars around my neck of the woods. They are definitely still out there. My friends call me the Chevelle whisperer
