So, you buy some old property, a farm. It's been empty for 15 years. As you are exploring the property, you find a large old barn with a big padlock. Well, you own it all now, right? You pry the mounting off and open the door. What's inside?

A fuckton of old cars.

Now, this is not a confirmed story. It's been making its way around message boards lately, so it could be a case of pictures with the wrong back story. Still, even if the story is false, the pictures are damn cool.

Yeah, some of them are in pretty bad states, but plenty of others are still beautiful, aside from the thick coat of dust. Can you imagine how much money you could make selling even just a few of them? The Lotus Seven, I know for a fact, is a collector's item. It's a collection that staggers my mind.

That one has been making the rounds. I have yet to see whether it actually happened or if it's a hoax. Would be tres cool if it were true, though.

This one is safe for work and has a link on it to the pics in the first paragraph. Lots of comments at the bottom should anyone care to dig through them.

i wonder what the return on investment would be.. 'cause, like, obviously you'd need to pour some money into restoring those cars, let alone clean them up. and then there're listing fees.. possible broker fees.. bitches and hos... gas..

In all seriousness, though, A lot of them would/could be bought by people willing to do the restoration. Hell, I wish i had the skill to do it, I'd love to get some beat-up hunk of shit and fix it up. I'd get a cool car at a low price and be able to say I'd done it, y'know?

Now I know how it feels to be green with envy.

That is exactly the sort of thing which never happens to me.
