While some of the stories actually are about cars found in barns or sheds, author Wyss is taking the liberty of expanding the definition of barn find to include any collector car found derelict, ignored, in pieces, or generally found in circumstances belying its stature. This could include cars parked in fields, found in cellars, left in parking garages, or even found under a pile of cars in a junkyard. What the cars do have in common is that they are valuable and exotic and have histories chock full of unimaginable twists and turns. Every marque has a story. Corvette, Porsche, Mercedes, Mustang, Cobra, Ferrari, Rolls, and they are incredible and true. Take, for instance the Two Rotor Corvette, a car that cost GM 2 million dollars to build and then they gave it away to the first guy that asked. Same thing for a GT40 Roadster, one of four built, and Ford goes and hands the keys to a movie car customizer who kept it for decades and never quite got it up on the big screen. That car today is worth 4 million dollars. So, if you're into collector cars and love the thrill of the hunt, then you'll truly appreciate the 50 stories Wyss has selected. With 272 pages and 50 illustrations.
