Barnfind 63 Ranchero in So Cal was offered up by the owner for 500 bucks... that is so tempting
read about the find http://inlinesix.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/1963-ford-falcon-ranchero-barn-find I'm guessing he's going to get swamped with request for the location.

Barnfind Shelby AC Cobra, and a one owner, less than 7.4 thou miles '62 Benz 300SL roadster getting auctioned by Gooding Jan 21st
Said to be the only unrestored Cobra in blue and red livery, the '64 AAC Cobra spent 33 years in "storage" yet comes off as surprisingly lustworthy in spite of that. It began life as Carroll Shelby's promo car at SoCal racing venues, was pulled from the deeep barn sleep to do the 2010 Pebble Beach from http://www.autoblog.com/2010/12/15/gooding-unloads-its-time-capsule-cars-for-its-2011-

1 of 3 existing BMW R51 RS factory race bikes in unrestored condition getting auctioned
Read about the sad true story of how the first owner was ruined by the US Govt because he was German immigrant businessman at the beginning of WW2, just like many Japanese Americans were. He was the BMW importer in New York, and managed to finagle one of these seventeen R51RS racers from the factory. In truth, BMW sold very few motorcycles in the US in the 1920s and 30s, as protectionist trade

Update on the Portugese barn find collection that shocked everyone a couple years ago, full story and list of cars
Feb 2007 was when 58 photos and a description of a barn with steel doors welded shut was opened for the first time in decades and this collection was found. Well, the story was all made up... but a journalist finally went to get to the truth of the matter in 2009, and new photos as well as a complete inventory are after the linkhttp://www.hagerty.com/Hagerty-Online/News/Features/All-articles/

43 years in a barn, but it had one hell of a racing career before hibernation
Looks amazingly good for having hibernated.. about the only thing that indicates true age are those slicks. Mike Bamber's old "Silver Dollar" A/GS 1940 Willysthe engine was being rebuilt in it, to make a few passes on the Nostalgia circuit, when a guy teaching his daughter to drive plowed into the barn, missed the Willys, but hit the engine stand and knocked the engine over - cracking the blower
