Uday Hussein, son of Saddam Hussein, had quite a lot of cars. He didn't take care of them and a lot of them were destroyed when the US invaded Iraq. (warning: Ferrari F40 inside)

Yep one of my NCOs when I was in the Army had a few pictures burnt shell of the Ferrari 550 they found at random near a Palace.

That thing looks like a legit race car. Maybe even Trans Amed? Sad. I love the flares.

Ford tracked down the very first retail Mustang ever sold. Original owner still has it, and it was bought 2 days before it's debut at the New York Auto Show. Car was garaged in 1979 for 27 years. It has 68,000 original miles.

but there is a twist...it's been restored

I'm pretty sure that I said this in another thread months ago, but still awesome.

 

[Slash]

I don't think I ever saw it lol.

 

[Cano]

I don't even want to imagine what that thing could be worth now.

I don't even want to imagine what that thing could be worth now.

Should be no problem for you, $240M over 10 years?

I'm always wondering why I'm not so lucky with this barn finds business. Like a show that was on a while back
"Oh so I went out to my old relatives' barn, opened the door and found a 1950's Auto Union racer and now I'm rich as hell"
Why can't I find cool stuff like that?

^^^most of it is chance. They just happen to be in the right place at the right time.

I saw the story of the 1st Mustang a few weeks ago on the newspaper, when the 2015 Mustang was unveiled 👍

This car is on it's own category of epicness

 

[Slash]

Who would have thought a normal, everyday kind of person like us would end up owning, what is probably one of the most valuable Mustangs out there, without even knowing it.

 

[MoLiEG]

Not only the most valuable Mustang, but maybe one of the most valuable cars ever! I mean, the Mustang nameplate it's one of the most famous in the car industry...

You can't calculate it's value, like Cano said... it's priceless...

 

[Slash]

It has trim from 1966 and it looks factory...I just noticed that. Maybe there's some kind of hidden secret we don't know...

Toyota Sports 800

Honda Z

 

[BerettaGTZ]

and how about a S197 Mustang

 

[RocZX]

The Mustang looks like it's photo shopped.





One more for today.....

It looks like it has been restored- HERE

Looks legit to me. Crank and Piston covers the middle east and abandoned cars aren't a uncommon thing there.

 

[Cano]

That COPO Camaro is absolutely amazing. Holy 🤬

 

[Slash]

That COPO Camaro I like better before the restoration honestly. Sometimes, old cars like, at least to me, I feel are better left alone and admired for their history.

 

[Cano]

I am hapopy that it was restored to as-raced condition back when it was new. The stickers seen in the as-found pics seem too modern and unscathed to be authentic.

also, post:

One of the best pictures ever posted in this thread:

Looks like all it needs is a good cleaning. I saw that on Facebook earlier.
