    That's an incredible find!
    What's the story on the owner? He built the garage and put the cars in there 40 years ago and never worked on them? Did he have other finished cars?

    The cars are in such great shape because they were garaged when they were only 35 years old. Imagine what they'd look like if they'd sat outside through 40 Ohio Winters?

    And they come with titles to boot!

    Mike, I wish I only paid $1200 for them. But I'm not complaining

    Well..... Time for more 'Haters'. We went and picked up the 2 door sedans today, along with 3 spare flatheads. Thanks Tim, Don and Leon, couldn't have done it without you guys!

    Amazing looking at a whole parking lot of rusty 39-40 vehicles. Looks like a late 1950's junkyard.
