A 1956 Chevrolet 150 that was originally used as a U.S. Army staff car is being auctioned at the Barrett-Jackson Houston event on Sept. 18 to raise money for the Honor Flight organization.
He only drove it for a year before passing away, however, and then it was put into storage in a barn for 25 years where it became a chicken coop until being discovered and purchased by a Chevrolet enthusiast who started fixing it up, but sold it before finishing the job.
After passing through a couple of owners, in 2918 its inline-6-cylinder engine was brought back to running condition and the rest of it partially restored, with chicken scratches left on some interior molding for good measure.
The car was then sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas this past June for $70,000 to raise money for the the Honor Flight organization, which provides free trips for veterans to visit the military memorials in Washington, D.C.
