Default Does this count as a "Barn Find"?

I've seen this Shelby sitting outside a small auto repair shop for better than 15 years. I don't think I've ever seen it moved from where it currently sits. What do you estimate its worth in its current condition?

When the guy came out to pop the hood, did you ask him if it was for sale?

I'd have it on ebay in a heart beat. If the guy knew what he had would definitely have inside under tarp. Unless it's an old clone.

hell I'd offer him 3k and see if he doesn't just sell the thing to get rid of it. If he really doesn't know what it is why offer him 10k? pretend you don't know either and see how far you get.
