Peanut

A 1979 Suburban Barn Find Rescue and Restoration

Sometimes a car pops up on marketplace that you just can’t pass up…

When Sean saw this barn kept survivor pop up on craigslist, he dropped everything to go rescue it from its original owner in Oregon. After an intrepid road trip back to Empire Fabrication Sean set out to restore this diamond in the rough to its former glory. After a lot of late nights and a lot of blood sweat and tears, Peanut (short for peanut butter) was as beautiful as when she rolled off the assembly line in 79. It has been happily re-homed and now lives with our good friend and long time customer Lou.
