Here's a barn find for you

http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm

Go down to the third row from the bottom - right two pictures. Nice car.

Then look at the rest of them, and the story supposedly is......


The owners died of old age, no heirs. sold at auction. the doors were welded shut and nobody looked inside. In Portugal.

I don't know any more about it, but am amazed such a treasure trove even exists, anywhere!

Snopes has an article dis-crediting the story.

My apologies.

I apparently have not read every thread on the forum. I was mostly posting because of the well preserved 356 that I THOUGHT maybe someone might have an interest in.

Except the 356 pictures (at least the ones in this thread) are likely from the "collection" of 25+ cars that were taking out of Williston, Fl a few years ago... I really wish that when it happened someone had let me know who the prior owner was, since I'm local, and my Dad probably knew him....
