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 15 yrs.; 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...?

Very Cool...Andrew would have his work cut out for him.

 

Unbelievable find, what a collection, this is one lucky and rich couple.

 

Sorry; it's not a true story. See this link to Snopes.com, which explained that:
That doesn't make the cars any less spectacular, though.

 

That is one heck of a collection no matter who owns them.

 

I've seen these pictures on the internet before but without any kind of story behind them.

 

I'd still love to have that imperial!

 

There was a similar story here on the East Coast. An old farmer passed away and the people that bought the land found these old train cars filled with old muscle cars and engines.
