whoaaaaa...he probably shit himself when he found those.

 

How does someone sell/buy a farm and NOT know that those are there?

 

omg... just give me the Fiat 508, Mini's and Porsches and ill be happy.. that guy just won the lottery... anyone else want to come with me and buy any abandoned farmland???

 

my my my... it'll be interesting to know the previous owner. must've been a rich collector.

time for some car wash. looks like they are in decent condition except for dusts.

 

Site is down for now, but how would someone who bought a farm also have ownership of any vehicles left behind? He wouldn't have the title/paperwork for those vehicles so he would play hell trying to register them.

Am I missing something from the story?

Of course, it is in a foreign land.

 

oh my god!!that's crazy. I agree with Tripp11.. Are we missing something here? what idiot would the sell the barn w/o knowing whats inside?

 

I bet the owner was some kind of drug lord....

 

Yeah I don't know the details. There wasn't a link in the thread I saw.

 

omg. lucky SOB!

Better link:

your link is dead.

 

Damn, that looks like a lot of work.

 

stockpiled with cars. Volvo, Porsche, BMW, Fiat, old Fords, Mercedes Benz, Lotus, and a few Italian makes as well. jackpot!

 

Wow, I would shit myself if I found something like that... dude struck oil.

 

That's UNREAL!

 

Maybe these are all stolen cars? This might have been some kind of a chop shop or holding area. We need more details!

 

That would be a fun weekend project, cleaning all those off.

That's crazy!!!

 

what a lucky bastard!!! did u see the interior to the porsche wow!!

 

That really is amazing.. I would like to know the story behind the previous owner and the cars

 

now that's buying the farm!

 

Maybe the previous owner died and had a lien against his property and the lien holder wanted to turn the property around fast.

Or, as Whiskers said, the previous owner was a drug lord. Damn Portigi!

 

Cool! Has anyone ever read, "The Cobra in the Barn" by Tom Cotter? Its a great book describing how various people lucked into finding cars in the most obscure and forgotten places. My 67' Shelby was found in an old garage that had been locked for several years.

The last chapter of Mr. Cotter's book describes an undisclosed location in Europe where several Bugatti's, Cords, Tatras, Lancias, Alfas, and others are languishing. Most pre-war and invaluable. Imaging stumbling coming across something like that?

I wonder if the new owner of this farm will face any legality issues in regards to the cars?

anybody have a link with pictures?

 

^^It was already there, click on the Bolded Title. Then, just wait for them to load.

 

after you click on that^ link, click on the first link of that page.

 

I haven't read the entire book but I have read some pretty lengthy excerpts from it. Very interesting read.

 

did anyone found article regarding the find of these cars yet? it'll be very interesting..

 

You'd probably enjoy it. Still have the 67'?

there was a semi new buggy in there( the yellow one) along with a miata that looks pretty new. I dont think someone would just leave all those cars there for whomever to crack open like hidden gem. but who knows It wouldnt be the first time i was wrong lol

 

Wow, crazy find for sure.

 

Hmm... person may have been using it as a secret stash place in between the 15 years, since no one owned that land.

 

miata?
