WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE.
SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME TO FIND A GREAT CAR, SOME FIND IT WHEN THEY ARE A TEEN, AND WAIT A LIFETIME TO WON IT. MARK WAS A FORTUNATE RARITY, HE GOT BOTH THE CAR HE DESIRED 30ISH YEARS AGO, AND IT'S A BARNFIND 1969 GT 500 SHELBY MUSTANG
Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office.

Did you like the posts about collections in barnfinds, the collections of cars that were found to have been neglected for decades? Well, here is another. In Belgium, and it's all Alfa Romeos
These are good photos, but there is another great set at http://timster1973.wordpress.com/2012/11/09/the-lost-alfas/ who says there are only 6 cars.
The original source website is dead. Well, it might just be having issues, but it doesn't seem to work. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/ and so I learned about this on http://sucksqueezebangblow-juice.blogspot.com.br who posted it a month ago
A couple photos are at http://www.wernerschijvenaars.nl/gallery/71988 but they aren't as good as these ones, and provide no info
