Mazda Owners Group Norway finds car treasures!

Wow,

So this guy bought this piece of land. On this land was a barn, the previous owner didn't even bother opening up the barn to see what was in it because it was all dilapidated. Well, the new owner opened it up, what he found inside will amaze you!

Myth, but usually the barn is in New York...

He was a Portuguese used-car dealer who kept the best for himself - nobody "bought a farm with a welded shut barn" on it.

Urban myth, checkout Snopes.com - http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/barnfind.asp

What do you think it would take to get one of those cars going again?

I assume all fluid would have to be changed, the engine would have to be rebuilt, interior redone, new tires, new clutch. Anything else?

Probably more than that from the looks of the condition. Quite a few of them don't even look like complete cars.
