'Barn Find' 1969 Mustang GT Cobra Jet convertible is a dream come true!
Every hobbyist dreams of stumbling upon a rare “barn find,” one of those neglected vehicles stowed in an old building for many years or even decades. The hobby’s fascination with barn finds has taken these dusty vehicles to the top echelon of the hobby, and barn finds are arguably the hottest thing going in the collector car world now. Despite the phrase, a barn find need not be found in an actual barn. Garages, old buildings and other structures can hide barn finds. Even an old chicken coop can obscure a hobby gem, as was the case with this rare 1969 Mustang GT convertible with the R-code 428 Cobra Jet and four-speed.
On Dec. 18, 1997, Steve Skinner rescued this GT drop top from a chicken coop in Santa Rosa, Calif., where it had been stowed away for nearly five years. Steve learned about the ’69 Mustang GT convertible from his brother, Mike Skinner, who’d seen it in the classified ad section of a magazine. Mike had first dibs on the car, then backed out and handed off the opportunity to his brother. Steve jumped on the opportunity to purchase it.
Steve and seller Al Weis agreed on a purchase price and the GT convertible was loaded onto an open trailer and transported to Steve’s home in Montana.
