69 GP SJ 428 Barn Find
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”?

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!

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. 😁

Many happy miles, Brew |
