I love the thought of tin-hunting....finding old cars, chasing down leads....and what made me think of this is the amount of Foxtel shows these days that delve into this...sure, some of the story lines seem to be "doctored" to bring a show to air...but it gets the brain thinking...and wishing...that one day, you will come across a treasure!!
Lots of books on this subject, mainly from years gone by...but still, it's amazing to see what comes up ......especially in the land of the autos....lots more to find yet.
I have come across plenty of scenes like this in America...lucky that they don't seem to be as eager to scrap as we do here in Aus.
Just random pics I come across, mainly on google images...all tucked away for the day when farmer Joe will say, "I'll fix her up one day"..
This scene was on Chasing Classic Cars from memory, had to pull the barn apart and drag them out sideways...the new "Barnfinds" show dragged out a 190 something the other day, and it fired up with some new fuel...amazing!
Wonder how many of our aussie classics are still hiding away in sheds?
This might not be a barn find. Looks more like a Ferrari collection been damaged...but I have been shown many shops like this with some rare cars just tucked away from the public....most collectors don't want to show anything, just keep it for the future.
Even old race cars are collectible, look at these vintage 70s funny car bodies.
This is just the first part, as I can usually only squeeze 8 or 9 pics on each blog....so keep tuned for more random barnfinds!
