Searching in the heart of North Carolina’s NASCAR country, automotive author and Barn Find Hunter Tom Cotter ventures into a garage full of cars and is hit with a lightning bolt. Parked before him is a silver 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/2, covered in decades of dust and spider webs. The Italian Sleeping Beauty has only 13,000 miles on the clock and, Tom soon realizes, is one of only a handful that were built with an alloy body. It just can’t get any better than this, Tom reasons, and then-miraculously-along comes a 1967 Shelby Cobra 427.

I'm a retired Ferrari carbon fiber tech and I have also completed a 2 year tenure at mosler aero-auto GT ((aero is to indicate high performance aircraft)). and I'm going to have to start calling bullshit on these barn finds. so here is the bullshit scenario you and this vid are trying to pass off on me. out of the millions of collectors with entire teams specifically employed to find cars like these. ad what you are telling me is that millions of dollars worth of cars went completely unknown to friends, family, passersby, collectors, the dealerships that sold these cars, and vandals, is this correct? you want me to believe this right? let me ask one more question. how many barn finds e there of $4 million worth of gold? why is it that we are able to find $4 million worth of cars in barns but yet we never see you and these other barnfind idiots not finding $4 million in gold? you find $4 million in cars all the time. but yet you never ever find any gold worth the same value. is that some sort of alien conspiracy bullshit or what?

Perhaps because people park cars in barns but they do not store gold in barns would be a good reason. Gold would typically be found in a safe, and for obvious reasons, these don't get forgotten about, or don't get published when somebody finds the abandoned gold.

I really thought the Ferrari would go for much more than this as not only are they impossible to find, this one is almost like new with only 13k on the engine. Who ever bought it got a great deal. One could argue that having a 2 cam instead of the normal 4 cam would hurt the price-I say that makes this version rarer and worth more money.

In 1973, when right out of grad school and starting my first "real" job, I was offered an original small block Cobra for $2500. It was a roller. It was complete but had been in an accident and, as I recall, nearly all of the body panels were missing. I knew it was a great deal but it was out of reach for me, so I passed. Should have borrowed the money and put it away. Now, today, even as a complete "roller" it would be great to have on display.

What a great video! I was an officer for the California Highway Patrol for 27 years, and from time to time I was dispatched to a residence to do a VIN verification for a car owner so they could register it after the vehicle had been out of DMV registration for a number of years. In my career I dreamed of going to a house with a garage like this one, but it never happened. The closest I ever came was doing a VIN verification for a 1958 or 59 Ford Sunliner in the '80's.

I love ALL old vehicles and I see them peaking out of barns, garages or just setting out in the weather every day as I drive my Freightliner all over the country. I'd LOVE to be able to rescue all of them but there was one that I just HAD to save. I'm a truck guy and a GMC truck guy to the bone. I already had a 1975 Gentleman Jim that my grandpa bought new. My family and I have been working on for several years to bring it back to it's former glory (we're almost finished). I kept passing by this old farm in Georgia on my regular route seeing a blue/silver GMC beside the barn. I knew in my heart it was a Beau James but never had time to stop. Long story short...I had to deadhead back to Ohio a few years back. I stopped to ask about the old truck next to the barn and yes it was for sale. I took a good look and determined that it was in fact an original Beau James. I turned the crank to be sure then agreed on a price, dropped my step deck and went to the bank for cash. When I got back I aired up the tires, winched the truck onto my trailer. My Gentleman Jim is almost ready for paint and the Beau James is next on the list. Only 1500 of each ever built and I have both!

he mentioned the morgan and if I heard him correctly , he said it had a V8 in it, which I found odd.Some of those were wooden chassis. or part wood. similar to the early Triumps.

a barn find is something that no one knew was there. just because someone leaves a car in a garage for a million years does not make it a barn find. they have to be forgotten, not just neglected. Clearly, these cars we're not forgotten or lost.

Some years ago my elderly neighbors garage door was open,a very quiet peaceful lady that was a retired teacher. In her garage was a Parade green 1957 Chrysler 300c Hemi Conv just hidden away. Her and her late husband bought it new in 1957and they was also married in it. Some years later I asked hey what'd you do with the old car and she said i donated it to my church.
