180 cars found in a barn
http://forocoches.com/foro/showthread.php?t=548055
apparently the doors to the barn had been welded shut for 15 years, and all these cars forgotten about. Somewhere in Portugal, looks like there's a few rare classics amongst the collection |

Re: 180 cars found in a barn
Wow. How can someone do that? I feel bad for the cars. They look so depressed. I bet there is some good money there though after they are restored. I think we found the cars going to Barrett Jackson by 2010.

Re: 180 cars found in a barn
What is the deal why were these cars locked away all these years. Did someone just discover them or what?
 Kind of a shame some of those look like they could be worth some coin.It looks like the birds did not have any trouble finding them.  A little wash and wax and oil change and they will be good to go. |

Re: 180 cars found in a barn
I'll have that Opel GT and a few others.. man there are even some classic 20's-30's vintage cars in there that look like they were in excellent condition before that moron put them away, some people really should not be allowed to have something valuable

Re: 180 cars found in a barn

Re: 180 cars found in a barn
I'm not sure how many of those cars hold any value. But a few look like they could be pretty nice if restored.
Anyone else notice that all the plates are from different Areas. In many parts of Europe. The first 2 letters on the plate indicate The City where the car is registered. Makes me believe that this garage is come type of impound area, or similiar. Either way. I wish is was 15 year old American Cars. That'd be cool!! |

Re: 180 cars found in a barn
I was thinking they looked stolen. But an impound yard makes sense.
