John,
Re: FW: The barn
There was a follow up story by Tom Cotter in the May Sports Car
Market. Not true... building owner was a Lisbon car dealer in 70's
and 80's and kept the more interesting cars that came through his
doors. (180 in all) When the barn was full, he "padlocked and
soldered the doors shut. Perhaps welding was a little too permanent."
And...none of the cars are for sale.

Subject: [Vintage-race] Fw: What was in the barn?
This story sounds a bit bizarre - just a bit, but the pictures will make
you cry. Has anyone see
this before, or know more of the details?
WHAT WAS IN THE BARN? TAKE A LOOK
A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so
it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.
The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 yrs.; the owner and wife both
had died, and there were no heirs.
The house was sold to pay taxes.
There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and
they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see
what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property
anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.
The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved in,
and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing him.
So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders.......and
cut thru the welds.
What was in the barn...............?

bought the place
