Don"t tell us you haven"t had that dream. You"re travelling along the backroads of America, winding your way through country roads, and poking out the front of a disused barn is an icon of motoring a true, unused and untouched classic just waiting for you to save it. Well, for a lucky few that dream becomes a reality. Take the car you see above. The iconic shape and cobra badging will tell you that it"s a Shelby GT500 Fastback, but it looks a little rough around the edges to say the least doesn"t it? That"s because this car"s previous owner parked it up in a Texas barn at some point during the 1970s and then, for reasons only they will know, left the little Stang to dwell.
