Default House that comes with that something extra!

A man in Portugul buys a farm and while walking around his new farm he finds a barn tucked away in the woods with a rusted lock. He finally breaks the lock and looks inside. Click the link to see what he found. LINK
Don't worry the link is safe.

Not to ruin the surprise, but it has to happen to begin a discussion.

How in the hell did this guy not see the "barn" earlier?

If you look at some of the last pics it looks more like a aircraft hanger then a barn. There has to be 200+ cars in there!!

The combined value of those automobiles must be insane! I would guess many, many millions of dollars.

One has to wonder who it was that amassed this collection, and how that someone was able to do so in Portugal.....not exactly a hub for riches and wealth..?

I say either they are all stolen or the collector was into some bad buisness.....drugs?

Thats the first thing I thought of as well. Unless the property is huge and the realtor didn't know the "barn" was back there.

One of the guys on that forum pointed out the fact that a car collection that size existed without record. I love stuff like this, the story behind it would be so interesting...but one we'll probably never hear.

Maybe the guy who owned it all was the guy from the other thread that died watching tv and no one noticed for a year and that's why no one knew about the cars
