Are there any among us that don’t dream of that elusive barn find? As far as we’re concerned, locating an ancient board track racer, Shelby Cobra or even the odd Bugatti at the bottom of a lake would be a life-changing event. For attendees of the upcoming Fairfield County Concours d’Elegance on September 12, 2010, such a find will at least get you entrance into a renowned classic car event.
So… just what is an eligible barn find? Says Tom Cotter, widely recognized enthusiast of the genre and author of several books on the subject including the imaginatively named The Cobra in the Barn and The Hemi in the Barn, that would be “a vehicle that has been previously unknown, or known and unattainable, or discovered through obscure means; all with a great story.” Such an example (in this case a classic Chevrolet Corvette and apparently the subject of Cotter’s next book, named… well, we’ll let you figure that one out) can be seen above.
Have such a machine in mind? No problem, just be sure that the car is in the exact same condition as it was when you found it; no 100-point restorations allowed in this category. You’ve got until July 1st to get your submission in, and only 20 vehicles will be chosen for the show. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ve got some serious scavenging to do…
