They were hardly "found". They were merely stored there.

"Some guy stuck a bunch of rare sports cars in a garage and hasn't touched them in friggin forever" would be a more accurate title.

These aren't barn finds. They're "damn, I need to find a new garage" finds.

ROACHED? They're probably better than "some" of what we see on the road today.

Give 'em a bath and a tuneup, take 'em to Barrett Jackson and see how ROACHED they actually are...

Personally, I'd take them, just like they are.

The guy who 'owns' them dunno what they worth?? hasn't made an attempt to sell them?? makes NO sense.....I would have sold them years ago and bought a new vette, and taken the rest into a couple of stocks......like MSFT and APPL......for starters.....been worth 50 billion bux today....

OR followed a financial advisor and been worth 15 billion bux today....

Yes, Roached. They have been sitting for 30 years in a shitty garage and didn't appear to be that well cared for. Not saying I wouldn't take them, but they aren't exactly tip top. Who knows what's wrong with them mechanically...they would definitely need to be gone through. I can't imagine what it would cost to go through that Ferrari and make it right, rich persons dilemma.


Now that Cobra, I would give a left nut for. Serious.

I know a guy that had the opportunity to buy Class A shares of Berkshire Hathaway at the rollout back in the 80's. He was gonna invest 100k, but balked. He would be FILTHY rich today if he did. FILTHY RICH.
