Wow, I thought I was lucky when I found a $20 bill in my coat pocket the other day. What a pleasant surprise for that owner!

Some judicious, but not exhaustive, internet snooping reveals that the original owner of the "barn" was apparently a Portugese doctor who died without heirs.
Presumably he was a closet car collector, and not a terribly selective one at that.
It's hard to believe that the property could be sold without anyone knowing what was inside the rather solid, and large, brick building. It's not like it was hidden away in an olive grove or something. The pics show it to be an imposing structure totally exposed on the top of a hill, for pete's sake.
There's a lot more to this story.
