The Ugly Barn nobody wanted!
Don't know if anyone has seen this. But you have to look inside. Talk about vintage.

wanst a hoax, the owner of the barn put cars away over the years from his own car lot..he kept the ones he liked.....

Manuel Menezes Morais shot the photos, but he was sworn to secrecy about the cars’ location and the owner’s name. However, he was able to obtain permission from the elusive owner to give me the following information:

The owner of the cars was a car dealer in the 1970s and 1980s, and decided to save the more interesting cars that came through his doors. When the barn was full, he padlocked and “soldered” the doors shut. (Perhaps welding was too permanent.)

Web sites varied on the number of cars: 58, 100, and 180 were speculated. According to Morais, there are 180 cars in the barn.

And, aw shucks, none of the cars is for sale.

Clara was able to determine that the cars are located somewhere in the area of Sintra, near Lisbon. I asked Morais if he could ask the owner if he had a favorite car. “He has lots of good cars in very good condition,” he says, “but he loves the Lancia Aurelia B24. He has two.”

I would ask that a European-based SCM subscriber pick this story up and help fill in the blanks. And let me know what you find (tomgcotter@roadrunner.com). I’d like to include the true story in a future In the Barn book, as well as in SCM.

I found my austin in an old barn full of classic tractors. Got it for 100 bucks b/c the owner needed the room to park another old very small tractor.
My fathers 1930 ford was also pulled form an old barn in Ohio.
There are many stories, some are true, some are stretched, some are blatant lies.

Awesome pictures of one hell of a collection.
