tazzieman Posted 6April, 2016 Report Share Posted 6April, 2016 A comical little car A comical little carThe best early 911 barn find story I have ever read linked below; it was nice to watch this evolve. Not just another crusty old rich bugger pays someone to fix up a neglected car to flip story.http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=37779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espskk Posted 6April, 2016 Report Share Posted 6April, 2016 Can it still be considered a barn find if the owner knew it was there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 6April, 2016 Report Share Posted 6April, 2016 Can it still be considered a barn find if the owner knew it was there?? Barn find = publicity = +10-20%$ bragger's rights to vendor and buyerI have a '66 "field find" Benz. The truth is most barn finds are parts cars. But if it's got beetle underpinnings or a prancing horse , well people leap all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 7April, 2016 Report Share Posted 7April, 2016 From my latest Octan ; Leno's columnAs he points out , many so called barn finds are people who bought these cars cheap at a time they were in need of restoration and lacking skills or money left them to rot.Even the new barn they were stored in now needs restoration. Even the big one on the left, Monsieur Baillon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
