Did anybody read about this? Apparently these cars had been locked in a barn for 15 years before someone found them!

Wow. How many miles on them? How much? Can a detailer restore the paint?! j/k

That's pretty bizarre though, that many cars left for so many years.

more discussion on the subject at http://reddit.com/info/1533c/comments , I still have not found anything to verify if this story is true. Some guy mentions that the collection belonged to a rich doctor that died and the collection stayed undiscovered until now.

Yea you got to love my Country. You be suprised how many times this happens. The problem with Portugal is that it has alot of small little towns, which nobody goes there.So if somebody was putting these in a barn, that it was in nobody's way, then the oldtimers from that town dont care whats inside.

I remember one time, they were doing cocaine transactions at a small barn in a small town, and the old folks from that town thought it was an exchange of flour with security guards with machine guns. Its the kinda stuff you see in the movies that you never thought it was possible.
