He wasted little time and started into the full restoration process soon after acquiring it. He’d restored several Mustangs in the past, and intended to add this restoration to his resume. He decided to give the ’69 Mustang GT convertible a complete rotisserie restoration. While researching the history of the car, he learned it had been purchased from a Ford dealership in Eden, North Carolina, and then traveled west where it had resided for nearly a decade near San Francisco.Īfter purchasing the car, Skinner transported it to his Montana shop where it was carefully dissected to evaluate its overall condition. The car was purchased prior to the “Marti Report Era,” but Skinner knew it was rare and he’d always wanted a big-block convertible Mustang GT. Steve and seller Al Weis reached an agreement on the purchase price, and the GT R-Code convertible was loaded onto an open trailer and transported to Skinner’s home in Montana. Mike had first dibs on the car, then backed out and handed it off to his brother, and Steve jumped on the opportunity to purchase it. Steve Skinner found out about the ’69 GT convertible from his brother, Mike Skinner, who’d seen it in the classifieds section of a magazine. On December 18, 1997, this GT drop-top was rescued from a chicken coop in Santa Rosa, California, where it had been stowed away for nearly five years. Such is the case with this particular 1969 Mustang GT convertible with a 428 Cobra Jet and a four-speed manual. In many cases, barn finds are found in garages, old buildings or other types of structures. Despite the phrase, a barn find need not be found in an actual barn. The fascination with these barn finds has taken them to the top of the spectrum within the collector-car industry, and barn finds are arguably the hottest thing going within the collector-car hobby right now. The car-collecting community has coined the phrase “barn find” when referring to vehicles found in old buildings where they were stowed away for years and, in many cases, even decades. This is the story of an amazing two-decade evolution and journey of a weathered, worn-out “chicken coop find” that was then transformed into one of the best and most accurately restored, world-class thoroughbred Mustang GT R-code convertibles on the planet.
