    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...

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

    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.

    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

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