    CARS IN THE BARN....





    Here is a story, which seems too Awesome to Believe. But, isn't everything True on the Internet ? ? ?



    Have a look and see, What could be in the Barn ? ? .



    Cars found in barn



    A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.



    The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15yrs.; the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs.



    The house was sold to pay taxes.



    There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.



    The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved in and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing him.



    So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders.......and cut thru the welds.



    What was in the barn...............?

    Go to; http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/afa70.htm and start wishing it you had bought the place.



    They are still out there, and wouldn't it be nice to find something like this in the U.S. that had many Hudsons!:)

    The story is false, false, false.

    The cars are real, but the story is 100% Barbara Striesand (BS)!!!

    Wow, if nothing else, there's a little something for everyone's tastes in there, B.S. or not!

    I'm still looking for a property that has, among other things, buried treasure and dozens of rare collector cars. Somehow I don't think I'll ever find it. Darn. :(

    Wow. I have a friend who said his mother has a friend whose son is the one who bought the place in Portugal etc. Funny how it's always one friend away from being true. Now why in the world would anyone want to start an urban legend like this -- what's in it for him? Messed up people. I have my own barn, with only 1 car -- a HUDSON!!!
