45 years parked in a garage, and finally the 1939 Studebaker gets towed out into the light for the first time since LBJ was president

This is not verifiable, but a Shelby GT 350 #6s966 may have been pulled out of a Kansas garage after 30+ years

This story has issues, but notice the photo of the GT 350 doesn't have the H after the GT 350 on the rocker panel decal, and the story claims it is a GT 350 H rent a racer Hertz car with original paint.

the original story http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2011/apr/02/rare-1966-shelby-gt350-fastback-found-garage-lawre but Jalopnik has the story http://jalopnik.com/#!5787316/how-a-66-shelby-gt350-was-hidden-in-trash-for-26-years as March 30th 2011 and writes that it's a Hertz rent a racer GT 350 H, and the Leake Auction website has no story to go with the photo gallery of the GT 350 that does not have an H after the GT 350.

The CNN video news clip never mentions Hertz. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2011/04/06/dnt.rare.nustang.found.kctv?hpt=T2

Shelby Forums says that this will be written up in the Spring 2011 issue of the Shelby American http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/13464-6s966-found-shed.html

I learned about this story from Robert L and his link was to the Kansas City Star article: http://www.kansascity.com/2011/04/09/2789114/rare-car-found-hidden-beneath.html

The SAAC forum addresses this story http://saacforum.com/index.php?topic=12348.0 and in the thread they state it was orignally a GT 350 H red and gold, but now has a replacement engine as well as a repaint

If anyone knows more about this, or has read the spring 2011 Shelby American, please drop me an email and add anything you can to this story

Thanks to Chad Lawhorn the story writer from the Lawrence Journal for sending me the link to the original article!

barn and field finds

GTX

GSX, yup, real one

Z code 63 1/2 Galaxie , that means high performance, and highly desireable

They're still out there, and some are never going to part ways with the nimrod that owns it, and tells every possible buyer "Someday I'll restore it" but will die before he ever touches that car again, meanwhile it rusts so much no one can do anything with it.

But every now and then, the owner has forgotten the car was even hanging around because it faded into the background of the family farm

Barnfind Shelby AC Cobra, and a one owner, less than 7.4 thou miles '62 Benz 300SL roadster getting auctioned by Gooding Jan 21st

Said to be the only unrestored Cobra in blue and red livery, the '64 AAC Cobra spent 33 years in "storage" yet comes off as surprisingly lustworthy in spite of that. It began life as Carroll Shelby's promo car at SoCal racing venues, was pulled from the deeep barn sleep to do the 2010 Pebble Beach

barnfind 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

it sat in the garge 30 years, was found by http://www.vintagesportscars.com/vintage_car_barn_finds.html who saw it once and then 6 years later the old woman who bought it new finally sold it to him and he extracted it from the garage.

Stupidly, after all the trouble of getting it, he didn't keep it. Dumb ass traded it for construction work that was never completed.

Buried treasure, a worse preservation technique than attic storage

A stray spark or something, took out a garage of 3 classics

The blaze seriously damaged a 1923 Alvis, a 1930's Sunbeam and this Daimler with Suicide doors. Via: http://trawler-rider.blogspot.com/2008/10/daimler-and-destroy.html

55 Chevrolet, hasn't moved in so long it's sinking into the ground

Backyards, they hide all sorts of stuff that won't ever get worked on or fixed

This belonged to an uncle who passed away some years ago, and this family "thinks" they'll fix it up someday. I think not.

Barnfind? 50yr old Pontiac in an underground garage. Dust indicates it's been there for years, license plate looks circa '80's

Barn find of 109 old cars

Pictures are all here, and it's quite a variety of early 20's and 30's Fords, and some Stangs, lots of trucks, some early John Deere tractors too.
