Any car nuts out there? ;-)

[The KG9 Kid]

Nice score.

I counted only five that I would keep. The rest need to get the hell out of my barn pronto.

[MARTIAL MONK]

I have a question. If a car has been buried for fifty or sixty years in a dry climate, can it be restored and would it be worth the effort?

[Southack]

None of the cars were stored properly. Some may be worth restoring, but they could have been worth dramatically more had the owner been an enthusiast.

For instance, the open exhaust pipes on the old cars (this was before cats) will allow air/moisture in through the open exhaust valves...which is not a great idea for a cast iron block, or iron valves, or for iron pistons.

Obviously the cars had no dust covers or rodent blocks/traps, nor even suspensions supported (e.g. on blocks).

From the above alone I'd guess that the poor owner left the old brake fluid in to harden in the brake lines (bye, bye) and clutch lines...and the old motor oil was probably left in to acidize, too.

So many Alfas...... so many ringjobs to do.....sigh....

[Ronaldus Magnus]

The fact that they weren't listed as a major asset somewhere casts doubt upon the legality about how the previous original acquired them.

I used this to explain to Nortette why she should cease complaining about the driveway, garage, and back yard...turns out I'm a piker.

I'm also kind of cheered to note that the author seems to know about as much about American cars as I know about European cars.

[metmom]

Some of them don't look like they're in very good condition but with the number of cars in there, he could at least sell them for parts and live happily ever after.

[Ditter]

I know you old car freaks are wetting yourselves over this but the farm I buy will have a barn full of antique furniture, preferably from the 1700's.(I hope)

Chip Foose is having an orgasm.

[JimRed]

Saving bump.

[Professional Engineer]

He just paid for the farm with that find.

[Poser]

I couldn't find this in Snopes yet, so it just might be true.

[Charlespg]

Talk about a jackpot!

[TNoldman]

I am!

[Domandred]

Wonder how many of them are actually running. Saw a few that were looking like parts cars. Amazing find though.

[AD from SpringBay]

Maybe he discovered the barn before he bought the farm, and then he bought the farm to discover the barn - if you know what I mean.

[Calpernia]

My husband wants to know where he can buy a farm like that.

That is great!
