Every classic car guy knows what barn finds are.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

We have all hoped that one day we\u2019d find the perfect muscle car in a farmer\u2019s barn, or in a garage behind an old house, and that when we found it, we could afford to buy it. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

It doesn\u2019t matter what you\u2019re looking for. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

You can bet there is one in a barn or garage somewhere in the USA. People hoarded them. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Some families didn\u2019t even know they were sitting there until someone finally opened the door and looked. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

It is a car that fell off the collector-car radar. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

It sat in a barn, garage, lean-to, pole barn, or storage building for years\u2014sometimes decades\u2014while the rest of the hobby chased restored show cars. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

The best barn finds share a few traits:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>
