Default The ultimate garage find.???

Seen various threads in the past about garage finds, and sadly this one isn't a rare Ford, but surely a contender for the best barn find ever.......

Not by me, but this has got to be one fantastic inheritance find....hope the link works.

Love barn finds!

These books are all worth a read if you like things like that. they are full of real-life barn find stories of famous or expensive cars.
