How many more barns are like that out there ? yet to be found ??? I think quite a few over the next few years, as the owners, sadly pass on.. I hope they have made provision for their collections in their wills..

I'm actually disappointed such a huge and amazing collection has to be parted, I personally would have rather someone like Jay Leno turn it into a Museum of some sort and keep the collection together.
