The Complete Barn Car Library

Everything Gary Doyle knows about old cars in barns, from the first knock on the farmhouse door to the first time the engine runs again.

BOOK ONE: THE BARN CAR BIBLE (329 pages)

Know what it is and what it's worth. Read a VIN in 30 seconds, decode the fender and cowl tags, spot clones and fakes, and compare against 50+ real auction results with dates. Includes the Code Registry and the Barn Card printable.

BOOK TWO: THE BARN FIND HUNTER'S GUIDE (308 pages)

Find it and buy it right. Where old cars still sit: farms, estate sales, small-town auctions and the back of a neighbor's shed. How to ask about a car without insulting the family, what to check before you make an offer, what to offer, how titles work (including lost titles and estates), and how to get the car home safely.

BOOK THREE: WAKING THE SLEEPER (315 pages)

Wake it up without ruining it. Why you never just add gas and turn the key on a car that sat for decades. Step by step through rodents, fuel, freeing the engine by hand, fluids, ignition, the first start, brakes, tires, cooling, cleaning without erasing value, and rust, plus when to hand the job to a specialist.
