Worth more with all the dirt and debris piled on it? Have we reached peak barn find yet?

(to be fair, it did get my attention)

Nice but part of the story don't line up:

Uploaded the photos of it in the barn i pulled it out of

It was pulled out of the barn two years ago and it ran and drove out

and

I have not fired up the car

Unless he meant to say "I have not fired up the car, since" ?

The whole barn find thing is so played out. I laugh now when I see ads like this zooming into the dirt and bird crap.

As a service to the collector car industry, here is the standards to determine true barn find value:
Standard rodent crap = 0% premium
Livestock crap (includes chickens, turkeys, etc) = 5% premium
Dust/dirt undisturbed = 10% premium
Dust/dirt disturbed = 5% premium
Raccoons living in the car = 15% premium
Pictures of a small part of the car peeking through the crack in the barn door =5% premium

You are all welcome😉

Mine is not a barn find but a true shed find that I think will top this one. Numbers matching L-35 4 speed R/S S/S. Not this much bird crap or grass clippings but lots of dust and debris since 1980 till present. Not quite ready to show pics yet but stay tuned!

Looks like they threw some more debris on the decklid and relisted this one:

Why do head turning finds always fall into the hands of terrible feedback sellers? Not fair.

Wow. A new meaning to the 'faking $h!t' that has been going on for decades to sell a car.....

I wouldn't even consider this a head turning find. Never been a fan of the bloated 71-73 Mustangs.
