    Major Barn Find
    « on: August 20, 2007 - 11:57:23 PM »
    Wow, this is amazing.

    A couple came across a farm in Portugal for sale and bought it without looking at what the barn contained. As the property was "sold as seen" they became the owners of everything within the barn ... see what you think ..... the barn doors were welded together, but look what they found when they gained access.

    Well.......

    That's still a big barn with a lot of cars in it.

    Is it still a "barn find???"

    I'd say since the owner has been buying them and storing them, they weren't "found".  Still a lot of nice cars.

    Yup, that's quite old that story. Awesome find, I'd be happy enough having that big arse building!!!!  :ylsuper:
    Let alone having it stacked to high heaven with cars, most not the greatest but still plenty of them.

    If that was my shed I'd be awful busy on eBay/Trade-Me.  :money: :ebay:

    That "Find" wasn't real.  The guy stored all the cars in there for years.  He knew what they were and what they were worth.  He used the "barn find" mystique to increase the price of the cars.  There was a post on this a few weeks ago with an article on it.
