The fact that they weren't listed as a major asset somewhere casts doubt upon the legality about how the previous original acquired them.
I'm also kind of cheered to note that the author seems to know about as much about American cars as I know about European cars.
The photo labels describing the cars appears to be in Portuguese.
Some of them don't look like they're in very good condition but with the number of cars in there, he could at least sell them for parts and live happily ever after.
Yea, well that's easy for you to say!
From all the dust, it's pretty dry in there, no surface rust , and the tires are still inflated other than the one without wheels. They're in no worse shape than your typical "garage find" with an elderly person who stopped driving. We're talking fifteen years here. The building walls are concrete block, so nothing to attract rodents that I can see. I'd say quite a few of them have significant value above and beyond salvage.
Wow, thanks for your comments. Makes me realize how badly the previous owner bungled his preservation efforts, if indeed, he was even trying. It makes me think that it may turn out that he was nothing more than a prolific car thief.
I know you old car freaks are wetting yourselves over this but the farm I buy will have a barn full of antique furniture, preferably from the 1700's.(I hope)

Saving bump.
Put it thru a Norwegian translater - that's a Norwegian auto forum.
Now that is funny.....LOL.....
PS I prefer your title
He just paid for the farm with that find.
I love that guy's cars! Wouldn't it be great to have him come over and pick out a car of his choice to do his "thing" on?
I love that show. He could do a couple of years' worth of seasons in that barn...
"it may turn out that he was nothing more than a prolific car thief."
I doubt that. There's an interesting selection of cars there. Older, and newer, including some race cars.
I couldn't find this in Snopes yet, so it just might be true.
Talk about a jackpot!
I am!
