    Stretching the concept of barn find

    I know the market for unmolested longhoods is overheated, but this is taking it too far...

    That is outstanding. They should have at least sprinkled some pigeon crap on it to give the "barn find" patina.
    I'm thinking you could actually lose THAT little car in a barn, only to find it 40 years later.

    Seller's a little too cute... they're available new for about the same price, but UH is a cheapy brand with lousy detail.

    Wait for a back-shelf find from Minichamps or Autoart, or for spenders there's always Exoto.

    Pretty sure it was Autofarm in the UK who got caught out doing a fake barn find on a 73 last year.

    The whole deal - staged photos with scattered hay etc.

    Look at seller's name: p0sparts -- the way I read it looks like "piece of s---" parts!
