Another Barn Car!
Yeah, found my second barn car of the year ('69 Judge was the other one)... Well, if you count my '71 GTX (garaged and not driven for 20 years or so, 440, 4 sp, Dana, 68k original miles) it's my third... Anyway, I went to go look at a '66 El Camino SS 396 4 sp A/C car. It was nothing like described - not an SS, rusty as hell, etc. However, I did see a '66 SS 396 Chevelle on the way over there in someone's driveway. Stopped on the way back; owner said he was going to sell it to a friend, and when he told me what the sale price was, I said, "I'd be stronger than that on the Chevelle." He called me the next day and we did the deal on Saturday. Car spent the last 10 years in the barn; just got pulled out.
Car runs, drives, fairly solid body, appears to have the original engine and rearend, but the 4 sp is AWOL, having been replaced by a TH400.
No pics yet; digital camera crapped out.
