ultimate Barn find dont know if this is a repost, couldnt find anything using the search.
Amazing to say the least..
Interesting...
A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money
wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a! few ac res in
Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 yrs.; the owner
and wife both had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to
pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel
doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra
expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the
property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place. The NY guy
bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved in, and set
about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing him. So, he and
his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders.......and cut thru
the welds.
What was in the barn...............?

Not a true story. It's pictures of someone's collection and they hired a photographer to take pics of their collection.

IF it were true; I would keep the Elans, the Sevens, some of the Alfas, and maybe the Mini Cooper Ses, and sell the rest for as much as auction would bring.
