Cool I wonder what will happen to them, hopefully restored and bought by collectors who will look after them

I think I'd rather they get restored and actually driven rather than sit in some collection unseen by anyone.

This! More annoying is that that is the 2nd barn find the OP had. :eek:

This is what I have never been able to understand. An excellent find none the less. I love the 70's Celica even if it is a bit of a rip off design wise.

Exactly what I was thinking? What circumstances could arise?

An awesome find none the less and I have no idea what 1/2 of these cars are worth.

People we get to thank for storing petrolhead heritage

Cool find, I sense someone will be making a nice profit....

Anyone notice how clean the cars look when on the transporter! It was like they were stuck in a time bubble that only a layer of dust was able to penetrate. My uncle would jizz his pants if he saw those cars, he had a celica back in the day and had trouble sourcing parts afaik.

Some people have all the luck :rolleyes:

Death, disability, collector, hoarder, speculator, huge land owner who's forgotton about them, the list goes on and on!
