Any one remembers the scoop on this barn? Those cars were stolen and stashed there right?

The story has been posted before and the real story behind it is here:

http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/barnfind.asp

Basically, the owner of the barn was an auto collector in the 70s and 80s, who had locked up the barn when it was full. The pictures came to light when he hired a photographer to catalogue his collection.

It's still fun to trawl through the pics though, picking out the rare models.

yea i read about this a while back too... and it still bugs me that the owner who was supposedly a "collector" didn't really do much to try to preserve these cars before locking them away. no stands... no covers....windows left down (on some)... he probably didn't even drain the gas and oil....! damn!!!! im getting angry!!!!!!!!!! i just want that porsche and i'll feel much better...........
