The barn finds are still out there. We are always on the hunt, and recently came across one we like to call the Treasure Trove. Ok, there was only one 911 in there along with a handful of parts, an exta engine, a few sets of carbs. But we are in the 356 market for the most part, and BOY was there a lot to be had there. The best find was a 1951 356 Coupe. It was one of the first 600 coupes ever produced ... ever. There were also 10 more 356s of various vintages and states of disrepair. Add to that THREE mobile homes full of incredible parts (including no less than 20 engines taken apart, bagged and labeled) and it was amazing. I kept the 911 for myself -- a 1972 911T. We bought it all as a lump for resale so the 911 was basically free.

Here are a few pics. If anybody is super curious to see more, you can see a gallery here: http://www.elementalmag.com/trove2006/
