An old Jeep Wagoneer buried in a partially collapsed garage at Cape Cod for 40 years to be removed


in the above photo, the house to the left? Yup, that one with all the additions in behind it. Well the small dark shrub covered dune to the left of the telephone and light pole, that is the other side of this collapsed and partially sand dune covered garage where the Wagoneer has been for decades


"I remember it being in the garage," said Graham whose home is near the buried Jeep "It's like a white Wagoneer."

As the town begins this spring to allow the shifting dune near the Musnuff's property to cover beach parking spaces, the time was right to ask the family to move the Jeep too, the town Manager Rae Ann Palmer said. "It should be moved for environmental concerns,"

The family had wanted to get the Jeep out of the garage for years, but the town wouldn't let them move the sand, "Now they (the town) want it out," Basil Musnuff's mother owns the property. He says he began visiting in the 1970s and has never seen the Jeep driven.

Today, the weathered cottage at the center of the issue sits precariously on a dune between the present parking lot and the beach.

When the owners of this cottage were asked what they planned to do, they replied, “We’ll just wait for it to fall in.”

On Feb. 10 the town conservation commission issued an order of conditions for the move, scheduled for Friday, weather permitting.

The family's house and a horse barn-turned-shed, both built before 1895 according to town historical records, sit atop a grassy dune with the garage half-encased in sand at the toe. The garage's crushed roof nearly obscures the Jeep inside.

Friday, a contractor hired by the family will take the roof off the garage and pull the Jeep out. The garage will then be filled back up with sand.

Emily Beebe with the town’s conservation committee said, "Literally, a couple of days later the town will be pulling parking lot up and then doing the same thing, letting the dune restore itself in that area which it hasn't been able to do for decades because of the parking lot."

all the pieces were here and there all over the farm, ever since the slingshot was retired in 1964. It was gathered up and put back together for this photo shoot when it sold recently


the front wheels were mounted on 1942 Harley-Davidson military motorcycle wheels, and they are still on that dragster... that is way cool.


the chassis was outside, and a tree had grown through it, the block was on one side of the barn, and the heads were on the other. The Weiand Drag Star intake manifold and six Stromberg 97 carburetors were inside his garage since 1964


long before rat rodders started using conrods to hang steering columns, this one was used as a motor mount on this 150 mph A/Gas dragster that ran 60% nitro. It's from a Ford flathead for the 1.599-inch rod journal. The main framerail was 1-5/8-inch round tubing.

Behind this ordinary wall, inside a one bedroom apartment, a 1959 Ferrari 250GT PF Coupe was stored for 30 years in Hollywood. Look carefully, see the cracks in the wall? It's a hidden door with hinges


That window above, is the same window over the roof of the Ferrari


The apartment building owner bought the 250 GT in the 70s, enjoyed it for about 7 years, then decided to restore it, and needed a place for it to be out of sight and off the street while the engine was being rebuilt by the shop at Briggs Cunningham's museum.

So he cut out the wall and installed hinges for it's eventual return to the outside world, then rolled the car in, put the ramps in the apartment with the car, closed the wall, and with a fast coat of stucco and paint, instant - presto - chango.... the neighbors never realized the apartment was now a storage garage for a Ferrari.




It was on the first floor in a one-bedroom apartment, against the dining room wall facing the driveway. What the building owner had accomplished was inspired by a comic book strip, included that in the binder of documents with the Ferrari paperwork.

He hinged the hole in the wall so it’s a whole wall with a window and blinds and everything. It swings open, and he lined up ramps and rolled the car in. Later he took the engine and transmission out, and took the wheels off.

To get the car out they had the door cut open, swung the wall out and the hinge system thankfully still functioned. They used the same ramps that were used to put the car inside, lined them up, and had about five people pushing the car out.

The tire pressure was intentionally getting the car out so the car wouldn’t easily roll away as the brakes are non-operational. The whole process took around five hours.

E type getting some sunlight for the 1st time in 4 decades. Only 52k on the odometer




The Jag was purchased in 1970 as a gift for his wife, who enjoyed driving the two-seater sports car, until she got pregnant, and it was left in the garage after that, as a couple more kids were added to the family


This E-Type was recently auctioned by H and H Classics near London. It sold for about $98,800. The restoration will probably cost more than the car.

1970 Z 28 was driven until 1977, then stored in the barn until the guy retired so he could enjoy it then, except... he died. The widow sold it.



82,000 miles on it, and when pulled out of the barn, the smog pump was locked up. Once that was dealt with, the car fired up


The nicely preserved Camaro came with a 350 LT-1, four-speed trans, power brakes, and no power steering. The glovebox was stuffed with original paperwork, including the owner’s manual, Protect-O-Plate, bank statements, order form, original title, appraisal sheet, pre-delivery check sheet, etc.

At age 26, Jim Bush ordered the muscle car of his dreams, 8 months later, the 1 of 8 Plum Crazy dual quad hemi auto Barracuda was onto it's 2nd owner, them he spent 45 years trying to get it back, 18months of restoration, then sold it again. It only has 12k miles due to a spun bearing









It was left in the band in Eau Claire Wisconsin for decades, though it once made a try for life with a 318, but after 2000 miles that engine had problems too, and it was back into barn storage again


he tried selling it on Ebay, but instead of a million dollars he thought it'd bring, it topped out at only 155k

So he sold it to Fusion Luxury Motors in Chatsworth Ca. (just west of Burbank) and they are trying to flip it at $270,000 www.fusionmotorco.com/vehicles

Aston Martin DB4 pulled out of the woods. In the early 70s, it was driven from Colorado to Massachusetts, where it was parked outdoors at its new owner's home.







Only about a thousand DB4 coupés left Aston Martin's factory in wearing the Superleggera by Carrozzeria Touring, and this Series 2 was bought by a famous voice actor in Los Angeles in 1962.

There is a good article in the March 2017 Muscle Car Review magazine about stock vs restoring when it comes to barn finds...


Tim Wellborn acquired a hemi Lime Light Road Runner, and it was the example used most in the article


He didn't have it washed, just had the mechanicals fixed, so it can be safely driven or displayed.

Well, in the article, some experts like Tim, Roger Gibson, and Frank Badalson, weigh on what original parts you might want to be careful with if you get ahold of a cool old muscle car, and why you might not want to restore those parts, as they are far more valuable in original, or as found, condition.


Take the Mopar rallye rim for example, they were originally black, but painted that silver on the outside only, and overspray might be evident on the backside (inside) or not. Or, there might be red paint that dripped onto the rim from the wet brake drums. Those things are important to not paint over or clean up and destroy, if you want top dollar when selling the car someday.


the NOS parts store at the Wellborn museum. Damn. I wish I had a winning lotto ticket
