The barn

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 15yrs.; the owner and wife both
had
died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes.

Has anyone seen this - Yeas there are mini's

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...............?

Sorry , but this has been posted many times , also it's a fake , the photo's are real but the story isn't , it was a collector who sealed the garage himself and then called photographers for the opening ,

Not a very smart collector then. Who knows what damage all that crud did to the paintwork of some very rare metal...
