Hows this for the ultimate barn find

If you want to drool take a look at what they found in a barn. There are about eight sections so keep watching, it automatically goes on to the next section.

(couldnt edit prev posts so have to re post)

was watching the vid Neale posted up about the Hartung collection and when they were pulling all the old bikes out the shed i was thinking 'i wonder if that wayne guy from chasing classic cars was about for this'
sure enough a few mins later you see him in the back ground
then i recognized the host who was the guy who restored/clean up and got running waynes Thor motorcycle and sidecar on "chasing Classic Cars'
then they pulled out the white Verita car
was good to see where the collection came from when previously watching the actual show
unreal, over a million bucks just in bikes i think they said
be good to see if theres an actual list of every car and bike and the prices they ended up going for at the auction

what is it about finding stuff thats filthy in a barn that hasnt been touched for 40 years?
(or in that vids case, over 100 years for some bikes!!)

love it

A couple of pics a friend took...

TC200six · 30-01-2013, 04:06 PM

Wow a 69 Shelby. This was in Australia right? The whole Mustang fraternity around the world would be interested in that.

DoreSlamR · 30-01-2013, 04:15 PM

Yup. Australia.

428 cobra jet.

Quite sad really. This guys collected his whole life, and now he's dead, the vultures have come in to claim their corpses.

If it was me, I would have arranged a massive pit in the ground and have it written in my will to bury me an my collection in cement. Take it all to the grave with me.

What a shame would have made a museum out of it all or something!

I still cant grasp the concept of how these occur, something rather big to keep quiet for so long and surely more than one person would know about it.

I know of a person with a rare car that had been hidden away for over 30 years & none of the experts knew about the cars whereabouts until it was brought out of storage recently.

There were only a couple of select people that knew about the car & they were sworn to silence because the owner was fear full of the car being stolen if anyone found out about it. It was probably a similar set of circumstances that led to this car being hidden away for so long.

Don't leave us in suspense... What sorta car was it?

Would that be Carcoar out west in between Lyndhurst and Blayney? I own a property out there, I should go in search of barn finds some day!

Barnaby · 13-06-2013, 08:04 PM

Need some votes here...worth saving? 302 column auto.

TC200six · 13-06-2013, 08:24 PM

Yes it's worth saving. You don't see many XC wagons anymore.

sure is, there are loads of old cars out west & you don't have to look hard they are parked out in fields buy the hundreds, but good luck trying to buy them.

here are some that I have seen recenty. There is also a guy in Molong near Orange that has everything from cars & trucks all the way to a heap of trains & an old DC3 airliner. Just have to get some pics.

Here are just a few that I have seen when I have had a camera on me

This is pretty cool as well. There is an old Holden Dealer in Canowindra, he has parked all of these old holdens in the dealership & its like stepping back in time

Ok the owner is still a bit shy about telling people about it. Its not a car that is that well known in Australia but is a cult car in the UK & Europe, see if you guys can guess. Gotta keep the suspense lol

gtxb67 · 14-06-2013, 09:43 PM

lotus cortina??

MK1 Lotus Cortina would be too easy, wouldn't it?

Neale · 14-06-2013, 09:53 PM

true got it in one guys, well done

mr smith · 14-06-2013, 10:08 PM

Its a car on my bucket wish list.
That Holden dealership is brilliant. I love poking my head into old country dealerships. I was lucky enough to have a squiz around the Castlemaine Ford dealership before it shut a few years ago. Had a good chat with the sales guy, and think of that day every time I go by.

Neale · 14-06-2013, 10:49 PM

They are good fun to drive, in their day they would have been something else. Whey you compare them to how a base model Cortina drives the Lotus is a completely different car.
