Hummm...as for the Javelin, guess I would not touch it then. It’s got a couple old bird poop on it!!! Lol....

I meant dirt on the paint. But hey, selling authentic barn find dirt to barnify a car might be viable business opportunity. To a certain extent, I don't get the love for dirty unrestored cars with chunks of missing paint and rust. With the exception of trucks, patina'd trucks or rat rods look cool.

Knew what you meant and believe that the whole package (barn find/dirt. etc...) as found can be more valuable than a restored car.
Thanks for posting!

"Dirt" on a car with no provenance and no significant value is worth nothing.
