Why can't I find a barn like that? Although selling those beauties would cause a bit of an internal argument in my brain.

Seems so. The cars were owned by Roger Baillon, who was owned a "transport company" in France.

The history of the cars is, indeed, quite fascinating. They were fondly handpicked by French transportation mogul Roger Baillon. When faced with misfortune in the early 1970s, Ballion had to part away with his beloved collection for near throwaway prices for these priceless pieces of luxury transportation. The collector had taken utmost care of his collection and ensured each of the car was in pristine and drivable condition. Hence, when it was time to sell his car collection, Ballion tucked away some of his favorite cars in a far-off farm in rural France.

But as fate would have it, before he could disclose the location of some of his most treasured urban means of high class transportation, Baillon passed away, leaving the cars to quietly rot in the barn that was only recently opened.

Obviously the Ferrari and Maser will find homes irrespective of their condition.

That blue Facel Vega though would probably cost more to put right than an already immaculate original example.

Kachiiing! Kachiiing! But those cars need a looooooot of work done

It's kind of like that woman who bought a painting for a few bucks at a garage sale mostly for the frame and it turns out it might be a Jackson Pollock. She is trying to get it authenticated. If it is real it is worth tens of millions maybe even a 100 million or more. She has turned down millions for it in hopes it is real.
