Help me find this site...

Postby mooseman » May 6th, 2010, 12:25 pm

I remember seeing a website that was about a massive car collection found in a deceased estate. Some old rich dude had brought a heap of classics when they were new and just stored them in containers. They also found shitloads of crate motors and other spares brand new. I think the family auctioned the lot off at once without cataloging it or something but I can't find it for the life of me now. I think it was somewhere in USA.

Nope this was a massive find. That topic actually reminded me of it somewhat. The one I'm thinking of was a guys entire collection I think alot of the cars had not even been road registered or properly looked after but we are talking like Mustang GT500s and stuff.

I saw it in a e-mail? the barn was filled with OMG cars and the old owner welded it shut, it was like that for years. I bet he was rolling in his grave.

Nope that was the barn in portugal filled with a ton of mint rare euro cars and vintage yank mobiles. This is a different one. I couldn't find it on the carsinbarns website when I looked last night. The main difference I remember about this story is that the guy had a heap of brand new crate motors (289s, 429s, etc) as well as all these cars.
