Check out this "Barn Find" This is Brett from San Diego - Found this on another site and had to share!
"Here is the big move to my garage from the previous owner’s, chronicled from start to finish today. If you missed my first post, I just purchased this 1964 356C from my neighbor, the original owner. After getting peeks at it and wondering about the possibilities for 4 years, I finally struck up a conversation with him about the car several months ago. Last weekend, we settled on a price. Today the transfer is complete.
As we moved the car, he told me of the conversation he had with his daughter this week. She had driven the car through college many years ago and appreciated her dad’s love of the car and probably had her own attachment to it having driven it for several years. He told her that he sold the 356, and she began to get a little upset and worried. He told me he settled her concerns by explaining that it was going to a new owner who owns a 911 and really has an appreciation for the marquee. That really made me feel good. He clearly wasn’t planning on selling the car to just anyone. As he put it, his ex-son-in-law, who apparently had greedy eyes on the car, would have parted it out in a heartbeat for the cash.
So here are the pics:
The find
The previous owner
The other older gentleman is my father-in-law.
Fortunately, it only has to go two garages down. Mine is the one on the end.
