I've never seen a concourse that even resembled a car.

Eric, I think the vinyl spray comment was in jest.

OK, but he meant it about the Yosemite Sam floor mats. I think. :cool:

I remember reading years ago about a similar situation, only it was a Rolls. I don't remember much about it now, but the thing that impressed me was that the car had been stored for many years in a building that was used but no one knew it was there until some guy realized the interior dimensions didn't exactly match up with the exterior dimensions. Anyway he or somebody determined there was a space not accounted for and made a hole in a wall to find the car had been entombed there for deades.

What's a good auction house for a barn find in the USA?

Is this a good one?

This car is beyond cool!

I hope whoever buys it leaves it alone cosmetically - save cleaning up the dirt and dust, etc.

What a classic...pretty cool Dr. Porsche has a hand in the engineering. :)

If it had a dog riding shotgun I'd rate the thread 5 stars...so it gets 4. ;)

Thanks Sammy. :)
