69 GP SJ 428 Barn Find
 
1 Attachment(s)
My son and I pulled this from an old barn/garage on Saturday. Hasn't been on the road since '84. Interior, frame, pans, all in great shape. Body, not so much.
We are working on getting it running this weekend.

Wow if you wake that after a 37 year nap and get it running in a weekend I'll be impressed.

Just connecting a battery, all the lights, wipers, AM/FM, horn, power seat, and windows all work.

More pictures please. If you get her started perhaps you should name her “sleeping beauty”?

Where did you find it? I live in Atkinson, NH.

Being stored inside is a big bonus! Fresh gas, points and that baby will fire!

Funny how sometimes you can know the location of a place by a picture. The second I saw that initial photo I said, “hey, NH-ME sea coast area!

1stgenbird 03-31-2021 09:18 PM

In NH but not the seacoast.

north 03-31-2021 09:41 PM

I consider everything south of Manchester to be seacoastish ;-)

1stgenbird 04-01-2021 06:49 AM

Should be East of Manchester, no?

Ha! She's no beauty! At least not now.

good find. as found pictures are always cool no matter what the condition. what are your plans for it?

tininjun68 04-02-2021 06:58 AM

Congrats 1stgenbird! Great find! More pics and updates would be great! Glad your son was in on the recovery mission. Is he interested in driving/owning it? I know my younger sons can’t wait to drive and they’re 10 and 6 YO. You should bring it to POCI in Connecticut in a few months as a “Barn Find Driver”. I want credit for that name if it catches on. 😁

Great find, have you sent away for the PHS yet?

Brewster 04-09-2021 09:05 PM

Congratulations on saving her. She looks like she is smiling getting out of that old garage.
Many happy miles, Brew
