I agree with you Greg.. I just don't understand why the guy never stored the 69 & 70 TA indoors.. They are some rare cars.. We are only about 6 miles away from the ocean.. We get rusty cars here..

Thank gawd they do it -- to "save" them for the rest of us.... but I'll never understand a yard full of "crap" sitting for years... when they could have sold it all and had ONE really nice car.
He is ready to sell most of the cars you see here Dave.. He will have a price on the 69 & 70 TA for me in the next couple of days..

I did not get any photos of what was in the barn.. that was in different location.. I will be their in the next couple of days & maybe I be allowed to get some pics..

Nice find Chris, Im assuming the guy has had offers to sell for years, from the photos it looks like somebody could spot these during a drive by. Any photos and condition of the ones in the barn.
