Found LOST HEMI one of NONE ultimate barn find
 
I have been trying to buy this 1967 Plymouth Belvedere 426 street hemi 4 speed for 13 years(one of four that fell thru the ordering cracks back in the day) In 1967 the plymouth belvedere 1 didnt have an option for a 426 street hemi. Well last friday I got the chance of a life time. The car is ALL original 31,xxx miles. The interior and paint look like new(under all that dust) Car was purchased from original owners brother(original owner died in 75 in a car wreck). When I purchased the car I asked about any other documents besides the title?? He said sorry we dont have any well I was kinda disappointed but it is a rare car and in incredible shape. On my way to the truck I opened up glove box of car on trailer and there was a stack of papers and a plastic bag.In the bag was original broadcast sheet,order form,manuals,old registrations, etc. I was on cloud nine!!!! Then today when looking over car it still has the factory warranty card on core support WOW! Here are some pics and a video enjoy

As time passes more and more these kinds of finds are becoming history and it really helps the thought of finding my own barn find when I still can read about these. Awesome find and thanks for sharing it here. Post pictures of the car during your clean up phase and maybe show some detail shots of interesting items you find on the car.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. 13 years of persistance paid off. What was the tipping point? Congrats, would love to see pics once you get the dust off and get it fired up.

His mother passed away this spring that he was the care taker for and he was not feeling like he was 13yrs ago. I think reality set in he was never going to do anything with it. He inherited it and let it sit because of emotional circumstances after his brother passing.
