Default 1966 GTO Barn Find.....

Sat in a barn for over 25 years. Found in South Royalton, VT.

Read here..... http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/class...5&ocid=UE12DHP

Before we moved to Delaware I'd found a 66 convertible sitting in a garage in Constable, NY. The whole was ready to collapse on it. I tried several times to see if I could buy it but no one was ever home. I even left a note a couple of time to call me. Never heard a word from them. Maybe that was good as it was on a dirt floor, and there was junk and garbage in it and piled up on the hood. Yeah... the door was open to the weather and that's how I found it. I wonder if it's still there or scrapped.

Default 1995 doesn't seem like that long ago.

So it was almost 30 years old when it was put in the barn.
In other words, it could have been put there for the purpose of being a barn find, since barn finds were already a thing at the time.

Yeah, those Hideous double windshield wipers tell me the car was on the road in the mid-late ‘80s/ early ‘90s. My big complaint is that they are still there in his “cleaned up and on the road” pics.

Wonder what happened to the fender badges? Looks like a straight car.
