Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye If all the cars are in the same shape as the ones pictured I don't see millions. If they are worth millions it will take billions to restore them.

Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye Europeans and sports car guys may be talking about it for years. Im gonna forget this post by tonight. Didn't see any flathead fords in the pictures posted or the video with the nap time music.

Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye Hey - I agree with " t-head. " When you look at some of the stuff that shows up on this site, and the prices that some of the stuff brings, it is not too much of a strech to guess what some of these true classics will bring, given the right venue. There appeared to be some future, " Pebble Beach Iron, " in that barn. For a short time I worked in Auto Sales, where that famous, " Theres an ass for every seat " saying came from. We may not be the correct ass, but those are the right seats !

Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye Thank you t-head for posting this amazing story. I love your web site and the work you do- well done. There is no doubt that millions will be spent on some of those restos but what a fantastic find none the less. The bugattis will get 6 figure numbers no matter what state they are in!
Meanwhile I will tinker with my flathead V8s which for me are affordable. thanks again for your great website. Dave h |
Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye Get out the cutting torch. Ain't nothing there worth my time restoring. Maybe could build some cool rat rods.

Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye That's incredible . The video and pictures are amazing. It just goes to show there are still hidden treasures out there in the world. The cars are not my cup of tea but I can really appreciate the excitement of the discovery. I Love old Fords but I can also appreciate others who also have a love for old Cars , no matter the brand. The more old cars there are on the road,no matter the brand, the better it is for all of us Old Car Enthusists. Thank you for the post !

Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye That's neat! Thanks was fun to see these pics and hear the story! Kind of like that Chevy dealer out in Nebraska where they auctioned off his stash last summer----- some of the cars were kinda rough BUT they brought preemo dollars!

Re: Forgotten Treasure Trove of Sixty Cars Worth Millions Found Untouched After 50-Ye Thank God they are European cars rotting away and not North American cars. Not much interest for me there.
