I watched a 'barn find' being staged for filming a couple of years ago, been pretty skeptical of all of them ever since. Every time that I have seen a car that has truly been sitting untouched for 10+ years, the brakes are seized and the tires are cracked to the extent that they won't hold air for even the amount of time that it takes to move it out of the 'barn'. How come they always roll right out the door on television? Not to say that the occasional hidden treasures doesn't exist, just thinking that most of the stories are pretty embellished.
