The Best Barn Find! MUST SEE! Before the storm Hit!

<removed at request of user>

 

is it air brush or dust?

 

Wow. what has happened to the cars now? Still there?

 

Leave them there and they will go up in value even more. It looks like a real barn find.

 

Looks like the barn in Portugal but a better group of cars.

Let's go get'em.

 

dust!

 

it was in florida before the hurricane hit um! now they are in really bad shape!

 

Looks like Medlin's collection...

 

it sure is brother!

 

I thought that they were sold off or taken. I seem to recall a story that had to do with non-payment of taxes.

 

Part of Mr. Walter Medlin's collection - rumor has it, he has Warehouses of Ferraris, only part of his collection gets re-re-repossessed by Uncle Sam (the rest they can't find). Only part of it was damaged a year or two ago from a Hurricane that hit Florida - none of the vehicles were restored anyway, so I understand he just moved them elsewhere.

 

I'll take one!!

 

I've seen the pics of the aftermath. I'll try to find them....

 

From what I remember;they were hidden when we got the pix; then a storm hit and they were EXPOSED ! The pix are from before the hurricane riped the building off the foundation and then they were seen! NOT HIDDEN ANY MORE! Damn hurricanes !

 

What a shame! I would of loved to restore them!

 

That would be my choice as well...

The Gov't. sometimes seizes the P4 Can Am car, actually in Scottsdale under a Mechanic's Lien, IIRC.........they want $M all in one car not piddling 330s and PF Cabs........

 

I posted this right after Charlie came thru here.

I remember this picture and the article. I remember that there were much clearer photos in an Fchat thread. Whatever happened to these cars?

 

Moved and put back into storage......he has several facilities scattered around the State.........

 

Re-Stored, not to be confused with restored....LOL!

 

I always wonder if he has so many cars, most of them Ferraris, how does he store such large quantities of them without drawing attention or more photographs. What did he do to accumulate the money to buy these things anyway?

 

Google him brother, you can find his address and put him on your Christmas card list, as I did.

He's just a lonely old guy since his wife died, with kids licking their chops to inherit the cars and the money.

Real Estate.

 

Real Estate is the answer more often than not to "How did they accumulate all that money?"

If your not in it and you want to make money over the long term (10-25 years) it is a great business to be in.

Great pictures of the cars in the barn. My buddy in Wauchula lost his 10,000 sq. ft. garage with a nice car collection (albeit significant;y less valuable then the ones in the picture)during Hurricane Charlie.
