Found a stat that says 1 in 5 barn finds never get restored, now I can't decide if that's sad or fine
I was reading a Hagerty article from 2023 and they said about 20 percent of cars pulled out of barns just get flipped or parted out instead of fixed up. That got me thinking about a '51 Chevy pickup I saw in a field near Ames, Iowa last fall, where the owner wanted $2,800 and swore he'd restore it someday. Part of me says a car that rough deserves to just live as a parts donor so three other trucks can get back on the road. But another part thinks pulling something out of the dirt means you owe it a real shot, not a quick flip. So which is it, should every barn find get saved, or is it smarter to let the rough ones die so the good ones live?

That "you owe it a real shot" line cuts deep, but some trucks are just organ donors.
