Despite its overuse in collector car discussions, “barn find” can be used tastefully. Consider the latest “Lost and Found Collection.” This fleet of twenty vintage Ferraris was found and housed in a barn for years until Hurricane Charley destroyed the structure in August 2004 and damaged several of the cars. The collection was moved to a storage facility near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where it remains today. Motor Authority reports R.M. Sotheby’s will sell the collection soon. R.M. Sotheby’s will auction 20 cars at Monterey Car Week in August. If you have several million dollars to waste, walk around and inspect each vehicle beforehand. The collection’s most unusual relic is a crumpled 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider Series I. It’s also old. One throwback is a 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB resembling a Magnum P.I. car. Open the barn doors to see how much we’ll bid on this sought-after collection.
