Barn Cars

A New York man retired.  He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, and decided to buy a home and a few acres in Portugal.  The modest farm house had been vacant for 15 years.  The owner and his 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 that were 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 had made an offer on the place.




The New York guy bought it at just 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 heavy duty grinders and cut through the welds.
