WOW!!!  Oh to be that fortunate to make such an incredible find. Do you think the story behind it is credible? Awesome vehicles no matter what the circumstances.
Cheers, Brian |

Nice one
Apparently, the find is real enough, but the story of the couple from NY is hokum.
But, quite often the truth is stranger than fiction......

wow. nice. I've never gotten millions of dollars worth of classic cars for free. I think I'm due for that. It'll probably happen before the end of the year.

Nice catch Steve, so it is:
| Tom Cotter of Sports Car Market magazine wrote: | Huge collections of cars don’t just happen. Cars are accumulated – sometimes lovingly, sometimes not – by someone with a purpose. I was sure this collection was not assembled by accident; nobody would simply sell an old farm and fail to mention to the new owners the stash of old cars in the barn.”
What he found out by tracking down the photographer was that the owner of the barn (and the 180 or so vintage cars contained within) was not a lucky buyer who had just purchased the property and was astonished to find a treasure trove in one of the farm buildings. The owner was an automobile dealer in the 1970s and 1980s who had built up his assemblage of cars over the years and stashed it in the barn (locking the structure up when it was full) and who simply hired a photographer recently to document his collection. |
