Default Found a 67 SS in a barn!

I just discovered this site and wanted to pass along what I found in a barn near Iron River Wisconsin. Last winter I was sitting in a local bar with one of my baseball buddies and he was talking across the bar about a tractor he wanted to buy from this older gentleman. He was telling him about this tractor and he had mentioned that he had other stuff he needed to get out of the barn. One thing he wanted to sell was this "old chevy that's been in the barn for too long". I asked him what kind of car it was and he said "a chevelle". I asked if it would be OK if I came out the next day to look at it. He agreed and here's what I found: It's a 67 SS that's been in this dry barn for 28 years (1978). He's the second owner and he had bought it for his son in 1977. His son blew the motor so they pulled the motor/ man trans and the car didn't move in that 28 years. He somehow lost track of the motor/trans and I'm still trying to track that down. I did buy the car and yesterday started stripping the paint to ready it for restoration. The motor I'm installing for now is a 427, aluminum heads, roller cam & running on E-85 (85% alky). I bought the TKO 600 5 speed Elite Kit (with twin clutch) and have that ready to install. I should have the motor back soon. I have the car completely stripped now except for the passenger door panel and have yet to find a build sheet. I'll attach a picture of how I found it in the barn...
