The Barnfind find story to top them all

[Russ]

A New York man retired, wanted to use his retirement money wisely so it
would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.

The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; 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 through the welds.

What was in the barn...............?

What a bonus, he will be fine in his retirement now, lucky b______d. Right place at the right time.
If that was me who bought the farm, the barn would have been full of LADA'S or something like that.
Good Luck to him.

According to Sports Car Market, it was not a barn find, but rather the owner of the barn was an automobile dealer who collected the cars in the '70s and '80s and recently hired a photographer to help catalog the collection.

Too bad he did not take better care of them. either seal the building up well enought to keep birds and bats out or invest in some car covers.
