Barn Finds on Facebook

[silverton_ford]

A couple of 66 GT350 "barn finds" appeared in a topic on Facebook today.

Of course not much for details and a lot of crazy comments, but just looking at the photos is fun to see.  They are still out there.

Here is a link (you have to have a Facebook account):  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156184893996618&set=gm.2698639143534294&type=3&theater&ifg=1

Photos attached too.   Also a Cobra and 289 with Webers found as well.   The 66 GT350 in the barn alone is different from the one on the lift.  The lift photo and Cobra appear to be the same location.

I've been actively looking for a cobra project...let me know if the owner decides to part with it.

That engine has had a rough life

That engine has had a rough life

To say the least... it looks like the entire cast sump of the oil pan broke off. The distributor is an Accel 30201A series distributor. I can tell by the side profile and port for adjusting points. Nice early carbs without the bosses, hopefully salvageable.
Yes a neglected engine

Notice the spark plugs

If I had the money I'd buy the Cobra and that engine and mechanically get them perfect and drive it all the time to cars shows and cars and coffee looking just like that, one exception would be a rotten muffler to give it that "barn find" patina for the sound.

Flood damage?

The sump looks intact in the picture posted on here. Look farther down and you can see the fins.

You are absolutely correct. My initial response was wrong By enlarging the image one can see the fins and the tops of the letters. (I didn't do that).

Flood damage?

Perhaps but I doubt it.  Earth floor barn, probably in a very moist location.  YEARS, probably decades of surface rust.  The dust and dirt settling on the objects just holds that much more moisture.
