A $4M barn find...
 

A 427 Cobra and an alloy-bodied Ferrari 275 GTB are among a group of cars locked away untouched in a garage for nearly 30 years.

I'm doing some calipers and hardware for a 275 GTB now.

I have a 944S sitting in a warehouse up on blocks.

Someday........

Holy cow that's alot of parts for brake calipers! Cool.

^^^ Cool!

That’s absolutely incredible.

The brake calipers or the barn find, Matt? I can't make up my mind which one is the most fascinating...lol.....

(nice work there Shaun!)

I’m always impressed in Shaun’s work! But finding those cars, wow....

Ok, so which one-- the Cobra or the Ferrari?

I'd rather have the Ferrari, 8 ways from Sunday. But I'm not a Cobra guy. :)

Truly Amazing!

And probably the best Video on Youtube right now!

The multiple serial numbers on the Cobra give us some idea of what the "used" ;) car market was like at the time.

The Ferrari is pretty but long term the Cobra will do better.

I have been a Shelby Cobra fan for 40 years now, and this would have sent me over the top. I don't think I would have been able to narrate without going misty if I had been the one finding those cars. Amazing.

I think I'll go build me a barn....gotta start somewhere I reckon ;)

Wow amazing barn find video!

In Charlotte. Apparently 2 miles from my house. Damn....

Nice video, but sure looks staged.

I made some tailored car covers for a guy who asked me to come out to his OK but not fantastic house in a small village. In his garage were an immaculate genuine 289 Cobra and a superb genuine GT40.
Anther time I drove out to the coast to knowing I was to measure a Lamborghini Countach. The small house was not in good condition, but in his large garage on blocks
was a mint early Countach.
Surprising what people have stashed away.

As a Cobra guy and old Ferrari guy it would be exciting to find, but I prefer to drive a replica so if I crash it there is no big loss. Kirkham makes a very good replica for the Cobra. Not much out there for the Ferrari. I would hate to own a car I could not drive.
