An interesting e-mail floating around

You may have received an unbelievable e-mail that is floating around that goes like this:

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 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...............?
Go to http://www.intuh.net/barnfinds/index.htm and start wishing it you had bought the place.

The story is a hoax but the collection is real and the real story is just about as good as the fake one:
What we are actually seeing in those pictures is the collection of an automobile dealer who over the years had added many(200) vehicles that caught his fancy. He just drove them to the barn and parked them there, presumably waiting until he decided what to do with the lot of them next. About a year ago he sent in a photographer to document the collection, and those pics are the ones circulating the internet, helping to create and sustain this myth.
