 Amazing Car Story......
            A recently retired New York man wanted to use his retirement funds
wisely,
            decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal .

            The modest farmhouse had been vacant for 15 years; the owner and
wife
            both had died, and there were no heirs.

            The estate was being sold to pay back taxes.. There had been
several lookers,
            but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut.
No one
            wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and
it wasn't
            complimentary to the property anyway... so, no one made an offer
on the
            place.

            The New York gentleman bought it as is, paying  just over half of
the property's
            worth; moved in, and set about to access 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...?
