"Barn find" I don't think there's enough barns in the country.

I totally agree!! Both of these are sooo worn out.....anything that's sat under a tarp in a carport with a blown engine for 10 years is a "barn find". Then.....let's flat black rattle can any POS and give it red steel wheels and lower it, and *voila*....RAT ROD!
