1966 Buick Convertible Barn Find Rescue, Part 1

This is the story of a '66 Buick Special convertible that had been abandoned in Arizona in 1978 by the family of Rick Pewe, editor of 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine. In 2011, the guys from HOT ROD Magazine, in conjunction with Rick, spent four days bringing the car back from the dead with plans to drive it home from Phoenix to Los Angeles. This is part 1, with the hacking fun the guys had rescuing the car. Look for part two, loaded with road-trip hilarity. The story is printed in the September 2011 issue of HOT ROD Magazine.

Not really a barn find. More like a retard's backyard find.

What a great video...:)

i thought barn finds were supposed to be a car 'frozen in time'. e.g a car with all the bits there. this looks like it has been outside. not in a barn.
