Since the late 1990s, a Nissan 240SX barn find was kept in a literal barn without any care or attention paid to it. That’s right, we once again have a barn find car that isn’t in a garage, warehouse, or field, but in a real deal barn.
Watch a single-owner barn find Chevy El Camino get fully detailed.
What’s even more mind blowing is the son-in-law of the guy who owns the car says it was parked there before he was born “for absolutely no reason.” Usually, a barn find is left and forgotten because it broke big time, like the engine or transmission blew up, and the owner procrastinated fixing it. But this little Nissan was apparently running and driving when it was just parked.
It doesn’t help that the portion of the barn it was left in is open to the outside. Not only does the thing wear a thick coating of magical barn find dust which instantly increases the value of some cars, it is covered in leaves and twigs. In a way it’s like a barn find and field find rolled into one.
Thankfully, the 240SX is in good hands with WD Detailing coming to give it the full treatment. The shop does these YouTube deals where they will fully detail a car for free if they can make a video about it. So far, we’ve only see one person act ungrateful for such a service.
Just learning the color of the Nissan is a surprise because it’s so thickly coated in gunk. But once they get it in the shop and starting washing away the dirt, a beautiful coat of gray paint is revealed. What’s even more amazing is the 240SX is entirely stock.
We know a lot of younger kids who have watched this detail think the Nissan would be fun to install one of those annoying cat-back systems, some dumb wing, maybe a giant turbo system, then go attend a foolish street takeover event where they can destroy the tires (well, new ones, because the original ones have serious dry rot).
We think this thing should be kept original and put in a museum so we can all remember when Nissan used to make cheap, fun cars.
