Barn Find, What Is It??

[Adz The Rat]

Apologies if this has been covered on here before but just seen these pics on another forum of a barn that has been blown over in high winds, apparently nobody knew all these were inside.

Anyway, the silver / grey car on the left, what is it??
Im pretty sure its a Ferrari but what model?

[matt21]

wow!

[AndrewW-G]

IIRC that would be part of Walter Medlin's collection

There's some pretty nice metal there, the car you're looking at I think is a 330GT?

Do like the look of that 275 GTB/4, a true classic Ferrari

[AndrewW-G]

and answer to your question, that looks like a 330GT

[dougc]

You can see its nose in the 5th picture.

Wow. Nice collection.

[velocemitch]

Yes wow... it's a 330 GT

I am fairly sure the light blue Ferrari is a 250 GT Boano or Ellena. I would go with Boano as the roofline is so low.

[Nickyboy]

Whatever it is its the same as the red one next to the 330

[durbster]

The F1 car is a 312 from 1967 I think.

What an incredible find!

Amazing...I love finds like this....330gt - what a lovely looking car

Me too, although it does make me angry that people let such rare cars get in this state.

One query about the article though: how can the auction be selling the cars 'at a knock down price'? It's an auction! Surely bidders will reach what they would at any other auction.

I *think* what that means is there will be no reserve price on the cars and they will go what they go for. Which in turn means if only one person bids $20,000 or whatever then the IRS will knock that amount off the tax bill the guy owes (less any auction fees etc)
