Richard | Mar 13, 2009 | Comments 0

I usually say, “Wipe it down; Fire it up; Hit the road.” I think in this case it is more like, “Hook it up; Strap it down; Hit the road.”

We told you about this Barn Find a while back. Well, now it is back on the road; not on its own but back on the road none the less! We have some photos to share of Lou and Erin hauling their newly found prize home. We will be keeping you posted on their progress of restoring this car as they provide photos to us.

You can find these updates on Our Friends’ Cars page under the Car Museum. This is a muscle car project that belongs to friends of ours in California; Erin and Lou Whitfield. We already have more photos on their page so check them out.

It is a 351 Windsor with air. These Dan Gurney Specials are very rare making this one terrific find. For more on the Spoilers and Spoiler IIs you can Click Here.

About the Author: I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California. The time there was very rewarding but the urge for a slower pace moved us to Tennessee a few years ago and we love it. I have been into cars since I was old enough to remember. I don't have a brand loyalty although I do prefer American Muscle. As long as it has four wheels on it I get excited. Few men are lucky enough to be able to share their passion for cars with the woman they love. Fortunately, my wife Katriana is also a gear head and many of our activities revolve around the cars. When they don't we are usually out with our miniature donkeys. You can see more about that part of our lives at http://www.LegendaryFarms.com.
