Barn finds are the coolest thing ever. Not only because it is cool to see a car that has been sitting forgotten get much-needed love and attention, but also because it often proves that cars want to run and if you give them what they need then they will do just that. If they aren’t locked up, most any old engine will run. Of course, there are other things that have to work in order to make a car actually run AND drive. Manual transmissions make this job somewhat easier because they don’t have seals that go bad and keep them from working. But what if something more serious than that is the problem?

One of the toughest things about making a barn find run is figuring out what it was parked in the first place. Sometimes they got parked because of a mechanical failure, but other times that wasn’t it at all.

In this latest video from Junkyard Digs they are getting a barn find 1969 Cougar back running, so it can live on.
