The barn - true story (or so I was told)

Got this at work today:

-------------------------

 

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

 

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 had 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 through the welds.

 

 

What was in the barn...............?

Has there actually been any picture of the cars cleaned and outside... or are they still in the barn getting dusty?

 

A couple made it onto eBay, well the same cars with a seller in Portugal did shortly after the find, could be a coincidence I guess.
