Reader Justin T came across an interesting barn find just down the street from where he lives and he thought we might be interested in seeing it. It’s a Plymouth GTX and while we would love to see this machine back on the street someday, it will likely never happen. This poor Mopar has seen its fair share of rough times and its situation just keeps getting worse. Thanks Justin for taking these great photos and for sharing them with us!

This car’s life has been rough almost from day one. Shortly after it was purchased, it was slide into a telephone pole, leaving a massive amount of damage to the front end. Not many people would have the means to tackle fixing this kind of structural damage, but anything is possible with enough money and skill. The owner obviously lacked the means to fix it, so they drug it into their barn and left it for dead.

If being wrecked wasn’t bad enough, the barn it is parked in has begun to cave in on it. Each day the barn grows a little weaker and more of it falls in on the GTX. The barn is already resting on the roof of the car so getting it out would involve tearing the barn apart. Justin has visited with the owner about selling the car, but they are unwilling to part with it. They did allow him to venture into the barn to take these photos though.

It might be sad to see a car like this left to slowly rot away, but we are glad that Justin was able to document it before that building collapses completely. Perhaps the owner will decide to have a little compassion on it soon and let someone pull it to safety. Not every barn find can be saved, but in this case at least its story can be preserved. Justin isn’t sure what year this GTX is, so we thought we would leave it up to your collective knowledge to identify it for him!
