Barn Finds

Mark Donohue 1970 Javelin SST stored in a trailer for 20 years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbGcitdwzds

This is a video capturing the unloading of a 1970 Mark Donohue Javelin SST that was stored in a trailer for over 20 years. I was a little scared filming this as I did not want to be posting a video of the destruction of a 1970 Mark Donohue Javelin SST, personally I would have cut the roof off the trailer and taken the car out with a helicopter, not to worry though as there were 2 guys inside the trailer ready to catch the car if it fell or tipped over ...but alas, as risky as it was, a success!!!! 2 other cars were stored in the trailer as well, a super low mile Gremlin and I think it was a 1979 AMX, but this was the treasure we were digging for!!!!!! On the spoiler you will notice "401", this was originally a 390 and if I remember right it is a Big Bad Orange, Orange or Green, it was not a bad re-paint but the inside of the door jam reveals the original color, a nice find!!! The car is in fantastic condition! This was not accomplished on the first attempt, a few mis-fires happened but it all was okay in the end!

If you've been around cars very much, you've heard the term "barn find". It's a term that depicts that "diamond in the rough" vehicle that everybody wants to find. Well, today on GEARZ, Stacey delves into the barn find phenomenon, and unveils what could be the ultimate barn find.....the lost Richard Petty Car! Follow the incredible story of the car that Richard and Maurice Petty built in their early days, that was then sold and disappeared for decades..... only to be found by Stacey and returned to Richard Petty so it could take it's rightful place in the Petty Museum. It's a fact that very few car stories have a happy ending. This is one that does and also has the pedigree of being one of the "King's" first chariots. It's gearhead archeology at it's best, and you'll only see it on GEARZ!

You’d never know that down an unmarked, unpaved road lives a barn-find collection that would melt any car enthusiast’s face off. Dodge Daytonas, a Plymouth Superbird, big block Chevys, Ford Thunderbirds, an L-82 Corvette with under 10 miles, DeTomaso Pantera... and the list goes on... and on... an on! This is the episode of Barn Find Hunter you've been waiting for.

I've had the privilege to visit the Rambler Ranch several times and it is just the most amazing place. And Terry is a very gracious host, who will take the time to tell you the history of each of the cars that he owns. Its unfortunate that this segment didn't have the time to really go inside the buildings to see all the beautiful cars that he owns. Please don't give Terry grief about the cars sitting outside - they were destined for the crusher and he saved them. And in the dry Colorado climate, they don't rust and rot away. He even has a building dedicated to the Kelvinator appliances that were made by AMC. Thanks Terry, for making sure that people don't forget about the cool cars produced by AMC and its predecessors.

to the folks wondering why these cars are 'just left to rot'...Terry is an acquaintance of mine...we lived down the road from each other. Elizabeth is at 7000', very dry, so these cars are not rotting away...probably something inconceivable to Rustbelt or coastal dwellers. Snow essentially evaporates, rather than melt. And most of these yard card were rescues that had a far worse fate in-store for them until Terry dragged them home. Fortunately he has the space to do so. Terry will pull a car now and then from the yard and restore it. One cool thing is that Terry also restores 4door sedans...not just 2 door hardtops and convertibles. Several buildings house the hundreds of cars that are kept indoors...and he is an awesome host for the clubs that come out to tramp all over what is essentially his private property. would you have rather had these cars crushed by the previous owners?
