The story is the property was sold to pay back taxes and no one knew what was in the welded-shut barn.

Don't know how true the story is, but the cars in the barn are amazing!!

Portuguese Barn Find: Fact or Fiction? (http://www.sportscarmarket.com/articles/archives/1110)

Manuel Menezes Morais shot the photos, but he was sworn to secrecy about the cars' location and the owner's name. However, he was able to obtain permission from the elusive owner to give me the following information:

The owner of the cars was a car dealer in the 1970s and 1980s, and decided to save the more interesting cars that came through his doors. When the barn was full, he padlocked and "soldered" the doors shut. (Perhaps welding was too permanent.)
