This is the type of thing that needs video. This is a very rare car to find in a barn and it looks like someone just drove it in there and parked it.

But it likely had, and still has, an issue that would be very expensive to repair. That is usually the case with these cars that were expensive when new and always have been expensive to have repaired.

This is the type of find that you might want to contact a local news station about. There is a story behind this and that's what they would want to tell. To the average viewer it will seem you have hit the jackpot but those of us that play with these cars know finding something like this can be a two edged sword. It is easy to give into trying to restore it yourself and then find it is a massive money pit.

But just like it sits it is worth some real money. You might want to get the title right before you let anyone local know about this as possible 'previous owners' might come out of the woodwork if they smell a buck. And the fact it has been sitting on your property for the last forty years will not stop someone from claiming it was once theirs.

So get the title cleared up first. Then take it from there.
