ok, so imagine you live in portugal and your moving house. you find a lovely farm house set in a decent plot of land. the place has been empty for 15 years!

whilst exploring your new property you find a large barn in the trees. the door is padlocked shut and its all rusted solid. so you grind the padlock open.........


Not quite as many as my shop

I just got in. That was posted a few weeks ago and people were speculating on a forum how all of those cars go in there. I think the "best" theory was that they were seized by the government for taxes. It would so be cool to find all of that in your new barn though.

I guess anything is possible, but that is one big ass barn to all of a sudden "find" in the farm land he bought.

There obviously most be a road around leading to it. I bet the owner bought the land knowing that the cars were there.

Read it a little more carefully. It never said it happened, It just presented a little fantasy.

This is a bullshit story for sure!
In one of those pics. You could spot a 205 Peugeot that had a frontal accident
This car is dated 1990 an on and it is at the same dusty condition as the rest of the cars
Second - all cars have fully inflated wheels??? Main doesn’t hold air for 2 years how come those cars held up for 15 or more?
Third - this is a barn in the middle of the woods? How about one pic from the out
Side?

I’m from Israel and this bull shit story runs here at all cars forums as well
Guessing from that - it’s a brilliant sales stunt for igniting the imagination of poor sick people like us all around the world.

Have fun

Okay, so some of the facts don't hold up. But what is the REAL story. But I highly doubt that some joe six-pack decided to wrangle up a couple million dollars worth of old cars so he can stick 'em in a warehouse, cover them with dust, take pictures, and pull some kind of stupid hoax with them. What's the story about the pictures!!! I don't really care about the backstory at this point. I just want to know about how the cars got into that building in the first place!

I think I have traced it partially back to this site but not certain. The files actually were from a place in the USA ( www.imagelink.com) that were encapsulated in the photo properties you linked to but the link at imagelink was deleted and it led nowhere.
I used other methods of back tracking and found this link I pasted at the bottom. Just look at the images found by clicking the choices from top to bottom. Will see if I can go deeper.
What I do see at the link below is extremely interesting. In Spanish but photos shown are some amazing old junk cars and classics too. The country is mostly Spain I am almost certain and while some are showing junk yards, I think the classics in the building are part of a museum collection in their unrestored, junk sitting protected from the elements other than the dust.

This is so relative to the subject and now 914 which makes it no longer a OT subject.

I had to stick this link in here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Editing hours later. The mystery about this may be solved. These appear to be a photo collections of a group of individuals showing all these cars, whether classic or not. Neat collection.

If one did buy a property and vehicles were on said property, would one really "own" those vehicles without a proper title being transferred to the property buyer?

I don't think title on vehicles transfers like that (perhaps things are different in different countries).

Perhaps I am wrong and title does transfer.

Anyone know the legal aspects of this "fantasy" if it were to happen in the USA? I know property taxes/registration would be a bitch.

I own enough cars to know that I DON'T want that many.

I had a friend in High School whose dad had that many cars. They were not all indoors (most were outside). He apparently acquired cars through poker games and good luck. He was also in the right places at the right times to buy old collector type cars on the cheap. None of them were restored, but many seemed like they could be restored.

I don't think the story told was accurate. (Internet Myth)

Look there. It's all just parts of a few Spanish photo car collections on that page.

Just for the fun of looking, here is another part of it.
