Thanks for that link! That is a cool story! When I was 17 I was throwing hay and working for a large farmer that was our neighbor. On one of his farms he purchased, it had a very large old wood barn like in the movie Days of Thunder. I had to clean all the old hay out of this barn and clean it out. He told me I could keep what ever was in there besides hay. You know what I found? A 69 Boss 302 nuzzled in the back corner of the barn. The hay was stacked almost against it from the floor to the ceiling. It was Blue and black, complete, and turned out to be really nice. The barn had concrete, and some how the mice/rodents didn't tear it up horribly. And guess what, I didn't get to keep it. It turned out to be owned by the son of the parents that owned the farm before. Their son never came back from Vietnam. Bob, my boss at the time, had us clean the car up inside and out. He got the title, took the car to an auto auction in Chicago, sold it and gave the money to the living mother to pay bills with. I heard a rumor that that car brought $15k and that was in 1998. I was mad not to get the car at the time, but that lady needed the financial help more that I needed a 69 Boss then. That's my best barn find story. Haha
