I'm a little confused here, does he find and abandon these cars or does he find these cars already abandoned?? The English language is such a beautiful thing when properly used...:_confused

Ok, I got it, it's supposed to read "Barn finds"! Proof-reading before posting really helps those of us without decoder rings...:rotate:

I was wonderin' who the heck "Bard" was...

Seeing cars like that in that state just makes me want to cry. I look at those cars like most people look at fine art or architecture and seeing them like that just seems so wrong.

Not as cool of cars but there are a bunch of old Chevys going up for sale in Nebraska soon. Some with less then 10 miles on them.

Should be able to click "edit" on your original post and change it.

i saw a show not too long ago where a car dealership in the mid 50's shut down and locked up - they reopened it this year and all the cars/trucks has less than 10 miles on them - kinda cool for a collector or restorer but i dont like the idea of a car that hasnt been moved in 70 years

what kind of cars? they might be worth a small fortune.

I think he was talking about the same set that Gizmo posted about.
