There are 3 buildings and I believe 3 videos of this Barn Find. I made an inquiry on 2 cars, no response yet

Thanks for posting this. I am lightheaded. UNREAL. In first couple of minutes you see at least 4 67 Big blocks, with one of them looking like a white, white blue interior with blue top, bolt on wheel car....skip ahead another minute or tow and i swear to goodness on a top rack it looks like the 67 FSO coupe.....with 6 tail lights, white stripe, etc...Could it be? I thought i saw it advertised on ebay or something a year or so ago so how could it be in this guys building? IF it's not the FSO car, it's it's true twin!
THANKS FOR POSTING.

I have seen them all multiple times and actually set up the shoot with Larry of Ammo NYC. The Silver 67' he detailed turned out pretty well and I actually did some research on the car and found a previous owner of the car from the late 1970's. Pretty amazing collection and actually had my 59' stored there before i sold it a long while ago.
They have been overwhelmed with inquires so not surprising responses to emails are slow.... . I did take some pic's of the 67' while he was detailing before and after as well as while he was doing it. I believe it will be up on Ammo's site in a week or so.........Also, it's been so long since i posted here I just about forget my user name........

The cars are packed in there pretty tight. It should be a bit of a project getting them out in the daylight.

It looks like the King Tut's tomb of car collections.

Does anybody know what state/city these are in?

I've always wondered why, when people are unveiling things, that they have to enhance the mystery by using flashlights? Obviously they have power because they have been using power tools, etc. Why not go turn on the light switch so we can all see? Just wondering.

Marketing, drama, mystery, etc. Adds authenticity to the “Look what we found” mantra.

To me, the amazement of it all is that it's a damn shame all that classic machinery hasn't been kept running and exercised. That's what they were made to do!
Take Leno for example. He drives his cars once in a while and has them maintained in a running state. The owner obviously has tons of $$$ to do that, or hire someone to do it for him. I watched it and just shook my head the whole time.

Most of these hoarders don't want to drive or maintain these vehicles. The thrill is in finding them, buying them, and HAVING them, so others cannot. There was a huge stash of Stutz Bearcats back east stored in buildings built of scrap back east recently (five years?). The old guy died in his '80's, never married, and lived on the family farm with his spinster sister. Started buying Stutz Bearcats in the '30's for cheap and at the end, had 20 or more of them, each worth more than a million dollars in dilapidated,, hoarded condition. He went to the Salvation Army for clothes, had no indoor plumbing, and the neighbors would donate food and give him handouts. None of them knew he had a huge collection worth tens of millions of dollars. Nobody did. Until after he died. I've known guys like this, on almost as big of a scale. It's not about getting and using the thing or sharing it with others.....it's all about HAVING it.
