Sometimes “barn finds” don’t have to be found, because the person who parked it knew where it was all along.
That’s the case with a sketchy, but straight 1971 Plymouth Barracuda that was left in an actual barn in Syracuse, N.Y., 30 years ago before its owner “robbed” its radiator to use in his truck and never replaced it.
The red coupe’s 318 cu-in V8 doesn’t run and the brakes don’t work, but the car is on wheels and ready to roll out the door for anyone willing to pay the undisclosed reserve price set for its eBay auction, which is higher than the $7,000 bid on the car as of this writing.
That’s still well short of the $21,000 the Hagerty Price Guide says one of these in fair condition is worth, while a fully-restored example could fetch $50,000. Despite the wear and literal tears in its upholstery, the experts at BarnFinds.com think it has potential for someone willing to put in the work.
If no one takes up the challenge by Oct 15, the owner says no problem, he’ll just leave it there for another 30 years.

One time in my life I went to one of those Barrett Jackson auctions. Bidders were CRAZY about “Hemi Cudas”, especially the orange ones.

This one is very close to my first car.
You Freepers have my heart!!!!!
69 dodge dart. My Dad is from Italy and his oldest daugher’s first car! We bought it in 1979. He took the darn thing apart and rebuilt it.
Sad to say the rebirth of the new Dart is terrible Spoke to a owner who said the car blew 5 or 6 head gaskets already!
Too bad. I had SO much fun in that car, it could go fast and I was only 17
FREEGARDS!
