regards and thanks for sharing Title: Re: Barnfinds in Portugal Check it Out Post by: deano on August 03, 2007, 06:07:33 am I believe this story has been bunked.... It really wasn't a true barn find, where a guy purchased the property and finds this barn with a zillion cars within it. But rather, the true owner had someone take photos of HIS collection, and the photos got out into public.

"Old Cars Weekly just tracked down the story behind the story, and the real explanation is almost as good as the hoax. What we are actually seeing in those pictures is the collection of an automobile dealer who over the years has added many vehicles that caught his fancy. He just drove them to the barn and parked them there, presumably waiting until he decided what to do with the lot of them next. About a year ago he sent in a photographer to document the collection, and those pics are the ones circulating the internet, helping to create and sustain this myth. So now you know the truth behind the Great Portugal Barn Find..."

A little bit 67, pre 65, 68 up, etc etc.
