Finned Continental gull wing with a Lincoln 430 cu in... woody barnfind - "Fin and Tonic"


Found in a warehouse on a Olive plantation. Stored since 1972.

 A employee of the owner had filled the boat to the top for 2 weeks with water and forgot about it. The owner took the boat apart, dissembled the motor, removed the interior, and put into a container.





but as it was found in the below photo, really shows how incredible the condition of it was. Only had 148 run time hours, and had been in a barn from 1972 to 2013... 41 years
