Found: forgotten collection of 180 classic cars Imagine you're Ali Baba, stumbling on the 40 Thieves' treasure -- only the thieves are long gone and the treasure is actually 180 European cars of various description. That's kind of what happened in this case, where inside a warehouse welded shut for years, a wealth of dusty cars -- Jags, Porsches, Lancias, Alfas, Lotuses, Austin Minis, Renaults, open-wheel formula cars, and on and on -- sat rusting for over 15 years. No word yet on who's claiming the cars, or what will become of them, but we'd imagine there are a few resto shops in Lisbon whose phones are ringing off the hook.

I see a nice Porsche 356. Cleaned up that will bring $200k plus... Looks to be a couple of them, as well as a bad *** Aston Martin DB3
I remember that muscle car thread too. Tons of old school cars, parts, rare motors, etc. Cool ****.
