Barn find

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A barn find is a classic car that is discovered abandoned, usually in derelict condition. The term comes from its tendency to be found in places such as barns. Many of the people who discover barn finds tend to be collectors and offer to purchase the car so as to clean it, fix it, and in many cases restore it. Barn finds have been auctioned for thousands of dollars before any work has been done and have been seen at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance unrestored.
