  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Garage of Gold

    So I bought some rally wheels off of Craigslist. I meet this older gentleman who I would categorize as a borderline hoarder but genuinely nice guy. He directs me to the garage to look over the wheels which were great. The beam of heavenly light penetrated the decades of dust and I heard choirs singing, as I thought 'this stuff doesn't happen anymore'. Not all Buick but some very
    desirable rides tucked away for about the last 30-40 yrs. As Arnold said "I'll be back"

    Skwerly,
    I'm not far from you and it just amazes me when I travel in rural bucks, Montgomery counties all the places you see where these cars can be tucked away. Beautiful find. Some nice looking classics.

    So now is called Garage of Gold instead of Barn Finds? Sure wish I could find a GoG.

    I work in Upper Bucks and see so many fun old cars between now and fall that I try to post a sighted 'Car of the Day' on FB.

    Wow, nice find. Were they all for sale? Those need to see the light of day again! Love the GTO and the Vette especially...

    I really got a kick out of the corvette with bins of cheap plastic wheelcovers stacked up on it. Haha.
