I know you guys like barn finds, so.....
I found this one in a barn in Ben Lomond CA. Its a mountain town above Santa Cruz. The car has been sitting over 20 years. It is a 396/360 hp, 4 speed, 3.73 non-posi. Originally Marina Blue with Bright blue bench interior. 66K original miles. Has anyone ever seen this air cleaner decal before. I thought it was aftermarket at first, but the lis had the silkscreen under it and I see no evidence of former decals. Someone put some buckets in the car early on, they look to be European? If anyone knows what they go to originally I would like to know. Here's a few pics of the car.

And finally, the reason it was parked. At least it still opens and closes great!

Re: I know you guys like barn finds, so.....
Did '66 360-horse Chevelles come with the open element AC air cleaner or did they have the large diameter/air horn style? Maybe the previous owner bought the chrome AC at the parts counter and it came with that sticker.
That smog equipment must be pretty valuable. Keep the black plates if they're not too far gone. CA DMV might take them away if you walk in there with them in-hand. Ask around about keeping the black plates on the car before going to DMV. Black plates seem to be the hot item for the California guys. Nice car with LOTS of potential. GOOD LUCK!

The plates are sweet and keeping them has never been a problem for me.
