Making the rounds, apparently, and noticed by Zippyt.

The original circulating text, with errors, goes:

And inside are over 180 antique vehicles. Some as old as the 20s. Covered with a severe layer of dust, and in various states of repair.

This Porsche 356 is considered by speculating web surfers to be the most expensive find in the lot.

This American car from the 20s should fetch a decent price too.

A few of the cars are more recent, 70s vintage... apparently the battery is still good on that Alfa, with its brake light on.

Complete slideshow here.

*spoooge*

Ha, I was just going to send you this item. You found a better source though, where I found it they said the "barn" was supposedly hidden in the woods and only inside pictures.
I know a guy in NJ that has a similar "barn", but it's mostly Corvettes and Hot Rods in different stages of completion.
That's the reflector showing the flash, on the Alfa.;)

Ah yes, so it is...

They said some of the cars were parted out, and so the speculation was that they were stolen. But most of them don't look like they're missing pieces, so there might be another story to it all.

Yeah, I wondered if they were hot. That would be a story if some guy had been stealing and stashing cars for 50 years. :D

See what happens when you forget where you parked?

Doesn't look to me like anyone has been in there in 30 years or more. Even in pieces, those babies are going to bring someone a frigging *fortune*.

I seem to recall that there were one or more Lotus Super 7's in that lot somewhere when I read about it.

open the link to the slide show. you can have one car. which one do you pick?

any dead bodies in those cars?

You know what, I'll take the old Mercedes in the last pic up there. Not only will it be a total tank, it'll probably start and drive right off without even having to be dusted.

I don't think you go stealing formula one cars.

I can't decide between the Mg Magnette, the Nash, or the yellow Lotus

I dunno, they look old and dusty...and I'll bet there's not a cupholder in the bunch.

thats just the flash reflecting in the brake light lens.

I've all ways been a Porche fan , but those MG's are looking mibhty fine as well

I'll take the Z.

Admit it Jinx , your just dissapointed that there is no Gremlins or Pacers in the barn

Not so much, no, but I'd have taken one of these

What, no pink cars in the entire lot? Where were the Mary Kay ladies?:female:

I'll take the Alfa at the bottom, far right.
But first I need to go and buy some cats' eye sunglasses and capri pants.

:cop:
You realize that Porche drivers are supposed to be the biggest assholes...

:madhop:

I'll take the Hillman California please.

You realize that Porche drivers are supposed to be the biggest assholes...

SO !!! What of it F-Stick ????

Make mine a Ford Taunus. I like the headlight buckets.

christ. they made that thing for a long ass time. '48 thru '76? i'd never ever heard of one. tauRus, shure......is this a euro name for something we know by a different name stateside?

nevermind

I would pick about five to restore and sell the rest. They all appear restoreable but I bet it'll be tough to find parts for many of those lesser known makes.

Welcome to the Cellar, gmcjeep. :D
What do you figure on transplanting those headlights into?

:lol2:

Nice come-back! Actually made my night. Thanks Zips.

It's a late night car wax infomercial waiting to happen. Look at that shine!

If you're interested, here is another 55 pictures of the cars. :drool:

Abarth Scorpione 1300.

Nice bump.
 

Google search for "snopes car barn" turns up this and links to this partial inventory of the cars.

... I was just telling somebody this story the other day, but I couldn't remember where I saw it.

Thanks, I happened upon it looking to post a pic I took today - completely unrelated as it turns out.
