What’d I tell ya about the barn finds yesterday? Here’s another, a 1960 Austin-Healey BT7 being offered for $7,950 out of Osseo, Minnesota. From the seller’s description:

1960 Austin-Healey BT7 3000, barn find, stored for 35 years, good restoration project or use it for parts, solid car minimal rust, missing front bumper.

These happen to be all Mopars as the page is put together by the Maple Leaf Mopar club. But even if you are not necessarily a fan of Chrysler products, hit the link and tell your boss to kiss off for an hour or so. When we look at photos like these we like to visualize being the guy who stumbled across these treasures. Anyone who has ever had the experience knows it is a feeling you can’t replicate.
