1966 Chevy Van (G1205)
Formally a Coca-Cola of Atlanta Delivery Truck.

This is a perfect example of a “Barn Find”.
Locating it in Rockmart, Ga. 50 miles northwest of Atlanta. The owner bought it from Coca-Cola of Atlanta in May of 1977 after being used as a local Coca-Cola delivery truck for 11 years.
It was parked for the next 5 years in a barn (Yes, a barn…). Then move outside next to that same barn for the last 26 years..

Its initial outward appearance at first made me think it was a “Basket Case”. But after a closer inspection I quickly realized what I had found. The perfect project van. The years it had set out in the barn and later outside it had built up a layer of pine straw on the roof which after brushed off revealed a lot of surface rust, but only a very light amount. The roof was solid. And the rest of the body was even better. A few dings and dents of course and several layers of spray paint was used to cover the Coca-Cola on the sides as well as he had spray primer on the lower half at some point.
A work in progess for sure. But all mine......
