Default Re: Huge Barn Find

Gets me angry to see something like this. I see many negative comments from Barners regarding guys who hot rod their A's but little criticism when some old guy does this. Obviously, the barn roof leaked for years and his cars had been wasting away for a very long time before the barn collapsed and he was well aware of it. We are only custodians of our cars. Many if not most of them were built before we were born and it is my opinion that we have a responsibility to take care of them and pass them on, not let them get to the condition of these cars on purpose. He was not a collector but a hoarder who apparently felt no responsibility whatsoever to preserve his treasures. Now, unless someone spends money in excess of what they are worth when restored, very few will ever be on the road again. What a waste.
