Since I haven't seen the car, or even talked to the owner, I don't know anything yet. I have kind of been wondering how barn finds happen. I suppose they happen a bunch of different ways, just like any other discovery, but do they most often happen in "friend of a friend said..." or via a relative or close friend who just never mentioned the car that's been gathering dust for decades?

Thought I found one today- Los Angeles doesn't have a lot of barns but it does have a lot of garages and car ports.
I was driving home on Mulholland this am and there was a dust/dirt covered 911SC sitting at the end of someone's driveway by the road. It looked to be in great shape, actually, but obviously had been sitting. Looked like someone rolled it down to the road to either put a For Sale sign on it or have it picked up by a tow truck.
Of course I pulled over and walked up to the house, could it be an unwanted 911?
Turned out that it wasn't for sale and the owner really likes the car, not sure why it sat so long but it was being towed to a shop to be serviced and put back on the road. I guess the only point is that I drive by that house everyday and never knew their was a 911 covered in dirt in the carport. There are so many old cars out there in the world.
