So you buy an old farm in Portugal...

[JackoliciousLegs]

And you go exploring the land. Tucked away in the trees, you find an old barn full of old cars...

Holy shit.

Barn in Portugal > Boat in Mexico (my retirement plan)

[Feersty]

Saw it on Honda-Tech. Amazing.

I saw this a few weeks ago, and nearly peed myself.



I will never be this lucky.

geez....even the "sucky" cars are still cars most people spend years hunting down only to never afford. how can someone sell a house and forget that they have a warehouse full of untouched vintage automobiles?!

[Jeff]

Looks like it has not been touched in many years. I wonder what was the purpose of collecting all those cars?

[Andy]

So does that belong to the new owner? I can't imagine that the original owners aren't going to sue or litigate to get their fair share. God knows I would, right after I punched myself in the nuts.

I'd like to see the full inventory. It looks like they have a bunch of shit with a few gems

What is shit in those pictures?

[HAULN-SS]

I dont mean shit, I mean just not worth much - comparitively speaking. Those old fords and chevy trucks dont sell for much. That old studebaker, not much. Also - a lot of those are GOOD solid project cars, but that's about all.

You're kidding, right?

Comparitively speaking to what?

Nah, thats goodspeed.

I guess that collection is only worth a pair of Grand National's and a Chevy 454 truck to Derek

Amen brother :lol:

Seriously, thats a really cool find, i'm digging the Porsche 356 among others. This reminds me of the old man who passed away in Wisconsin and left behind semi trailers full of old muscle cars and parts. But what to do with all of them? Sell them off, keep some, restore some? I don't know much about this kind of stuff but I wonder if they are worth more untouched and in rough condition or if they are fully restored, which I imagine would be very hard to do with some of those.

heh, i'm just saying - wtf is a gen1 mini cooper gonna bring? 5 grand? tops? I'm pulling these numbers out of my ass, but I wouldint give 10$ for a car like that.

[.RJ]

There's a Honda S600 in there too

There's some very rare, very original and complete cars in that barn. Many of them might not fetch much but there's quite a few that would.
