Every enthusiast has seen stories where some lucky automotive archaeologist has discovered the ultimate ride, covered with dust and cobwebs, hidden away in some remote location. Unfortunately, the opportunities to locate those once-in-a-lifetime finds are becoming considerably rarer every day.
Fortunately however, there are places like Carolina Barn Finds, a licensed North Carolina dealership that buys and sells antique (1970 and older) cars and trucks. Located in Staley, North Carolina, on NC-64 between Asheboro and Raleigh, their impressive collection of vintage vehicles is easily seen from the highway and creates a clear temptation to anyone interested in a project vehicle.
When we were there, we rolled in through the gate to the right of the main entrance to get a closer view, with permission from the owner. The yard features lots of raw material, with a combination of a few running and driving vehicles along with others suitable for spare parts. For more information on this roadside treasure trove, call 336-392-4055.
