The real story, thanks to Tom Cotter & sportscarmarket.com, is far-less exciting. The cars all belong to a former car dealer form the 70s & 80s who saved his favorites until the barn filled up. After that the doors were locked and soldered shut. A photographer, Manuel Menezes Morais, was commissioned by the owner to take the pictures that have fueled the ludicrous story we now know is false.
Now you know the facts. Yes, there’s a barn in Portugal filled with rare cars. No, they’re not for sale, and no, some New Yorker didn’t stumble into the fortune of a lifetime. Case closed. (And here are more pictures for you, because, well, they're awesome.)
