Amazing Find in a Barn

[longknife]

Some awesome cars discovered in a French barn. Will go up for auction early next year. Wonder how much they'll get. Read the story and see pix @ BBC - Autos - In France the barn find of the century

Hope this one turns out better than the last one.

A lot of great potential there, if someone has the time, money, and good judgment to restore them properly.

I really don't understand the recent trend to simply brush the dust off these cars, get them running and leave it at that - because it's so AUTHENTIC.

Alain Delons Ferrari 250 is in there!

I prefer them restored as well, but I can see the beauty of keeping one original.

Simple: a car is only original once!

This is the "Bloomington ghost", an 8500-mile survivor...and a one-owner car!

I would love to see what Chip Foose would make out of that '66 Charger.

I am not a fan of that body style, but what a beautiful car just the same.

Probably something worthy of being melted down into new Toyotas, like most of the cars he mutilates.

(Note: that might be the only surviving unrestored 1966 Hemi Charger!)
