1958 Porsche Speedster finally gets out of the garage after 30 years

barnfind Devin was hiding a Ferrari 340 America chassis... that will fetch 10000 times the ebay sale price of 26 thou if restored
But the short story is that this was a significant racecar, and when the original body was thoroughly damaged, a fiberglass Devin body was mounted 46 years ago, and the Ferrari lineage was forgotten. Out of sight, out of mind.
The seller bought it as a $200 project 15 years ago. It's a factory competition Ferrari, as the even numbered ones were, #0202 precisely. The car raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1952.
Luigi Chinetti bought it in 1953 and sold it to Ernie McAfee in Los Angeles.
Shaughnessy has the edge. "I already have a running engine, rear end, transmission, pedal box, radiator and oil cooler."
He even thinks he knows where the original V-12 engine is and hopes he might be able to persuade the owner to trade for his motor, which is close to the same number.
I learned about this barnfind at http://www.hagerty.com/classic-car-articles-resources/Features/News/All-Articles/2012/01/26/Top-five-barn-finds?utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_medium=email&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=January%20Hagerty%20News

(1 of 206) 1969 Z28, JL8 optioned, stripe delete... was sold in 1977, and finally bought back in 2010... wow! Home after 33 years, with only 22,133 orig miles
this is a X-33 car and was ordered with custom (deluxe) interior, fold down back seat, radio delete, headlight washers (only 116 non-RS cars were ordered with this option), and rear window defroster.
Tom sold this car in 1977, located and purchased it back in Feb. 2010. Not only is it a 22,133 mile 1969 Z28, but it is a rare JL8 Factory Option (Four Wheel Power Disc Brake 1 of 206) and a Stripe Delete car. He still has the Warranty Card & Protect-O-Plate that he kept when he sold the car in 1977, not for any reason except they were not important back then and rarely did anyone ask for it when they were purchasing a car from a private party

Larry Shinoda's Boss 302, a barnfind
Monday, 7 November 2011
Johnny Vegas made the most incredibly realistic looking faux patina on a 33 ford, with Cumberland paints, and they call it the Barn Find
Johnny is pretty damn good at getting and selling barn finds, check out this 1941 Buick Estate Woodie, one of 16 known to exist... he found it and has sold it already, but it had been stored since 1958
but go look through the other cars he has for sale http://hispeedcustoms.com/forsale.html and you'll find the stablemate 1933 Ford Woodie for 45 thousand doallars that Johnny also has among his many cars for sale in Tucson
