They are still out there. A year or two ago I saw a guy picking up a ~60ish Conv. D from a neighbor's house down the hill. Stopped to talk. It actually dawned on me later that the buyer fricken STOLE the car. Original as all hell, i think the buyer (who knew what he was doing) paid in the 30's for a 100K+ car.

What makes this a "Barn Find"

The fact that they kept it almost 50 years, hidden in a garage and not barn actually.

So excuse the 'barn' title and if you want replace it with the 'garage' word.

Not sure this started the term, but here's the idea.

A rusty Speedster relic recently sold for $300K on Bring a Trailer (BAT).

what is the going rate for a complete speedster project? numbers and non numbers matching?

I believe the car was in Long Beach, CA

As much as they have appreciated, that's way over the top.

Not up to date, but a Speedster project might go for $100K, but no way $300K. Check prices of restored Speedsters and back it up into reality before resto costs. I do remember Adam from Unobtainium selling a Speedster hulk for ~$60K a few years ago.

And the market continues to climb. Nice cars are $300+, really nice cars are $400+, and perfect number matching cars with knock-offs are $500

Former co-worker of mine has her late brother's speedster in her garage. My boss offered her $50,000 almost ten years ago and she wouldn't sell.
