a 1930s Mack ED stored for over 50 years, finally gets hauled out of the New Jersey shed it's been stored in to be added to the Mahan museum. This plumbing and electric supply service truck was last registered 56 years ago, and was about to go to a junkyard

Porsche barnfind, of the rare kind, a twin grill 356. 247 made

it was found in a storage unit, seized up... but, that simply means it's become garage decor. I doubt anyone would try to use one of these in a commuter. It would only be refurbished for a concours restoration for bonus points, I think

Hurst SS Cuda with it's original engine pulled out of the widow's garage and brought to the Barnfind section of the MCACN

It’s 1 of only 70 Super Stock BO29 Hemi Barracudas modified by Hurst Performance for competition in the 1968 season. 

Californian George Wejbe bought it new in Santa Fe Springs and campaigned it in IHRA events. 

George retired the car in 1972 and it was recently acquired from his widow. 

Remarkably, it still retains its original 426 race-spec Hemi engine and heavy-duty Torqueflite transmission, and is well documented with its original sales and finance papers, and factory-to-dealer bulletin detailing the race modifications and warranty exclusions.

this MCACN barnfind '73 Citroën SM was extensively modified by prior owner

Bob Diemert was a self-educated engineer known in the aviation world for his meticulous restorations of  a Hawker Hurricane fighter (one of only 5 in existence!) and two Japanese Zero fighters.

He applied his aviation know-how and ingenuity to this SM, in some cases to increase its performance and in others, for reasons unknown.

he overcame the absence of the car’s original triple Weber carburetor setup by designing and fabricating a new intake manifold to adapt a Marvel-Schebler Ha-6 carburetor borrowed from a 1968 Beechcraft 23 Musketeer. To significantly increase power output from the SM’s V6 Maserati engine he added an AiResearch T04 turbocharger and nitrous oxide system.

Barnfind Jag... but what will it cost the next owner to make it safely roadworthy? The XK140 only has 15,570 miles on its odometer, was found in a barn in Virginia several years ago. Its 2nd owner last had it on the road in 1967.

The 3rd owner is a Jag restorer who obviously figured out it's now financially feasible to restore it, so he's looking to sell it for 50k to a potentially future customer to offload the expense, and hopefully onboard a new rich customer   https://www.hemmings.com/stories/will-you-be-the-one-to-take-on-this-barn-find-1955-jaguar-xk140

this 74 Corvette was hit while parked in front of this repair shop so, it went on the lift to fix, but life and business got in the way, and there it sat since 76 with only 1k miles on it.

The roof has been leaking and falling-in for over a decade

The car is rough from being neglected, but still wears it's original tires, hoses, filters, etc.

Shelves were erected around it, literally no way to get it out of there easily. It would legitimately take you a week to get the car out of there.

This abandoned 1970 Porsche 911 Targa spent more than three decades sitting in the same spot in Idaho,

Originally sold through legendary Porsche dealer Vasek Polak in California, the car racked up 101,000 miles on adventures across the western United States and into Canada.

Porsche 911 Targas in good condition can fetch anywhere from around $80,000 to well over $100,000, depending on condition

Whatever the seller asked for it, was likely the right amount

Cleaning out pine cones is not a big deal though, based on the photos

this 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A 1500 Speedster was pulled out of a barn in Ohio, 5 decades after the original owner parked it in 1962, with just 60,000 miles. 10 years later, and 10k more miles, it's getting auctioned off

The auction company selling it expects that it will sell for double the value of a restored 356, as it is both rarer then most restored 356 speedsters, a barnfind, and scheduled to go under the hammer this weekend at the hands of Iconic Auctioneers. 

Valuation specialist Hagerty says a 1955 Porsche 356 in pristine condition is worth about  $200,000, but the auction house estimates the sale price of the car to be about $475,500

The sale will be part of the Silverstone Festival 2025

Seventeen-year-old Danny Banks bought this 70 Chevelle, LS 6 to race with... aluminum intake, 4492 Holley, turbo 400, and 4.10 gears

Danny would arrive at the meet up in a humble Pinto, find the fastest car in town, and agree to race for cash. Then he'd vanish, return with his secret weapon Chevelle, swap on slicks, and uncap the headers

It stayed hidden in a barn, coming out only when the stakes were high. 

He parked it in his garage in 1988, and it stayed there until after he recently died. Now his family is selling it.

a 1960 DB 4 with just 37,000 miles, came to auction, out of a collapsed garage, where it had been forgotten for 35 years, and sold for £145,000 (thank you Stephen R!)

“The garage it was in, the roof had gone completely,” Derek explains. “It was quite clear that the owner never went in there, blanked the car out of his mind. The Aston was tucked away, with flat tyres that we pumped up, and a tree blocking its exit that we had to cut down."

New owner Julian Crossley is no stranger to restorations so his plan for the DB4 is to show how much restoration you can do at home, even on an Aston Martin! Using specialists where needed, Julian will be sharing the restoration journey to encourage others into restoring cars. Work will start as soon as the NEC show is over, and you can follow the restoration on Crossley Motorsport’s Instagram channel.
