1978 Chrysler NewYorker 440...727 auto...Barn Find...needs some work...runs good...bought as a project....can drive but will prob need trailer as it has some dry rot tires...been lowered 3in but can be reversed easily...I was intending to make a rat rod out of it...leave message or text for response...only thing I see to make a driver it needs is the fuel gauge does not work. Its probably a float or sending unit....driver side window motor does not work...Would make a nice driver mopar. ($1,800obo). Thanks

Fix the gas gauge and window; add some hubcaps; enjoy a nice cruiser.

Did they change the definition of the word "Barn"?
What exactly does it mean in todays terms? It seems to me that any place that houses a car that is older than 10 years is considered a barn...when did this **** start? Most of these dwellings have never seen a cow let alone actual farming activities and yet somehow have been elevated to barn status....


Stop it!

Remember when EVERY used car for sale was "Cherry"?
Barn find is the new cherry.

Well the 90's was a long time ago but that term was in use in the early 80's except for hicks with mullets, then maybe 90's

I was using it in the 60's and I'm damn sure I got it from guys using it way before then.

I can't differentiate but that's not a bad thing. I've learned more from my elders than I've ever learned from my peers at any age.

When I was young(er), I looked upon the old car guys as gods.
If they told me it was a worn fornokme rod, I believed them.

Me too Stan, that's why I know a lot of the stuff I do, and have the sensibilities I do

Yes they not only changed the meaning of the word barn, but also the meaning of rat rod evidently.
