I've never "found" anything, but I've known about plenty of cars stuffed in and around barns, and bought one. How would you feel about a Chevy in a barn?

This car has been sitting here my whole life, and I'm mid 30s now. I pass this car weekly. I forget the whole story, but I’ve been told it's a 70s hot rod with hot SBC and 4-speed. There used to be a 2-door '60 Impala sitting behind it and a '79 T/A Pace Car, but those were sold off 15-20 years ago.
Edit; I remember the story of the '56. The current owner is the mother. Her son who built it in the '70s was being young and dumb and was killed while playing Evil Knievel. He attempted to jump an open pit (basement dugout for a new house) on a motorcycle. He hit the wall and snapped his neck. The Chevy has sat where he parked it since, and mother will not part with it.
I also know of a barn or two nearby full of 32-40 Fords, but those guys (brothers) know exactly what they have. It's some of my dads friends he grew up with. They pull one out every few years and build it, but those guys are getting up there in years now. Actually, one of those cars sitting around is a '40 Ford convertible that has been completely disassembled, parts restored, and was being reassembled by the father of the two brothers when he died of a heart attack while working on the car. That was also in the late '70s early '80s. Their mother refused to let them touch anything on that car for the rest of her life, and she just passed a few years ago. I don't think they have touched the car yet. I have seen that car once. It's a dust array of sorted and painted parts and bolts sitting near a burgundy painted body sitting on a painted frame.
There are these finds up here how and then but I'm not as connected as I once was so I never hear about anything anymore.
I guess if I was to find something I'd still be picky and it'd have to be a Brand & model I really liked. Obviously if it's a special model then it really wouldn't matter.
I keep telling myself I'm not going to get another project when I'm done with the Jeep but then I surf FB or the net and see some rig that strikes my fancy and I start thinking about possibly getting something.
I'll wait until the Jeep is running/driving and the motorhome is running with NO issues before I make any decisions.
