A New York man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so
it would last, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.
The modest farmhouse that they looked at had been vacant for 15 yrs.; the owner and wife both
had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes.
There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and
they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see
what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway......so, nobody made an offer on the place.
The NY guy bought it at just over half of the property's worth, moved
in, and set about to tear in to the barn.......curiosity was killing him.
So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders.......and cut thru the welds.
What was in the barn...............? Follow the link below for the story------------------
My neighbor's 80 year old idiot boyfriend who fancies himself a 'car guy' printed me copies of the pics of these cars and told me the welded door story a couple of weeks ago. I doubted the deal then. When I saw that most were foreign cars, I wasn't impressed and tossed them.
