LOL Could it be the nine other vehicles you have, not including the parts car, that is distracting you?? Nice Score! I assume the original motor is there?

That Lemans looks like it was in pretty good shape before it sat there for 20 years.

yeah the body looks fairly straight though it will need new rear quarters and a new trunk i hate to see the inside where the water has gotten into the rust holes

i think the car may be worth 2 grand tops but the one guy i know who talked to the owner said it wasn't for sale. supposedly theres a 68-69 GTO sitting in another local city in some yard with grass growing through it and it belonged to a lady's husband and he died so she is just letting it sit

True, and since it looks like it hasnt been played with, it maty be a complete car. The only problem is that the body is so rusted, the floors and are problibly trashed as well. It looks like a $500 car to me. Restored it may be only worth $15K.

And why does it sag so much in the rear? Busted springs? Or has rust eaten through the floor so much that the springs went right through?

Saw this thread and wanted to share mine too. This is my '67 GTO the day I pushed it out of the barn. The dates on the pictures are wrong. The last time it was ran was '88. Sat in that barn ever since. This picture was after we washed all the crap off of it. Didn't have the thought to take a picture first. I am only 4th owner. Numbers matching 4 speed. Only surface rust and very little after market changes. (At least the tach add on did not mess up the dash!) 58 k original as far as I can tell. Very low option car but it is the right colors.

I bought it from a friend of a friend. Big Pontiac guy. I was picking his brain for info on GTO's and he mentioned that he had this one he wanted to sell. Included a 10 bolt saft-t-trac and some other parts he had. With numbers matching and no rust through I feel I got a good deal at $8,500. Plus he delivered it to my house.

Pontiacmuscle,
That one definitely qualifys........Now a question I've wanted an answer to for years: Why don't you at least cover it ? Maybe put it up on blocks & at least try to slow down the bleeding.....Most of these cars you see are uncovered. If I ever had to park my car outside, I can't imagine not at least covering it .
JMHO.......
BTW, cool car

Uprmich - yes drivetrain is original and in tack as with all my cars except for the 79's. the multiple cars thing doesn't help. if I made sick dough then it may be a different story.

If it was mine at the time those pics were taken......it would have been covered. I dont know how many years it spent on those jackstands...
Trust me....it has a cover on it now.

Default Another Barn Judge!

Picked this up near Lubbock, Texas a few weeks ago (I'm in the middle of a move from Va to Tx). Previous owner bought her, started disassembly, then got married and lost steam. Car has been sitting in this building at an old airport for the past 10 or so years. He didn't give the car away, but I did get it for a great price.

Anyway, she's a real documented '69 Judge, Carousel Red, hideaways, RA III, 4 sp, black interior, hood tach, 8 track (MIA), P/S, P/DB, etc. Engine and Ram Air equip is MIA, but otherwise complete. Body is SOLID - trunk, floors, fenders, nose, etc all great shape. Has had a rear quarter replaced (fender bender), and that will have to be redone. Still have to go through the boxes that I got with it.

I'm bored, and I wandered in here, so I thought I'd post. Found in the fall of 2003, literally, in a barn near Bangor, Maine. After negotiating with the owner, brought it home in the spring of 2004. After some research, turns out it was originally the "Fighting Irish" T/A campaigned by Dick Rosberg, mainly out of NHRA Division 3.

i'll take a stab at this since most of you guys would fall over with some of the stuff sitting out in my yard.

if you cover them then the moisture is trapped under the cover causing more decay, the wind beats the cover against the car, wearing the thin paint thinner, causing more decay, varmits will find the car more inviting as you've provided constant shade, causing more damage. starting to see pattern here?

i drag mine around once every month or two and try to mow under them and to keep them rolling.

to answer the ? why don't you sell them to someone who''ll fix them? eventually i will fix them or the boys will have one helluva sale when i'm dead.
either way, it's better for them to be sitting in my yard than to be crushed and melted into honda parts.
