So, much like anyone else, I love a good barn find story.
But, is a 2009 Z06 Corvette really a "barn find"?!? Dust and "original parts" don't (for me) make a barn find.

Really? Original parts on a 2009 car...amazing. ::)
I totally agree. Way too many things being pushed as Barn Find. Takes away from the "Real Deal".
Agreed. I wonder how much they paid for the storage unit.
A 2009 a Barn Find....no way.
I think a standard needs to be considered so as to qualify as a "Barn Find" otherwise any car parked in a Barn/Shed can be considered a barn find if it has dust on it.
The term is being used lightly.
Lets get serious here

Yeah...
How long was it "lost" (in order to be considered a "find")
How thick was the dust layer?
Some minimum "age" of object... 2009 does not seem old enough?
... who's got more? ::) ;D
Mark, it gets worse than that:

Wow!! Now a 2010 is a Barn Find? You have to be kidding me.
Is it a barn find if the car is hidden under more than five years of stacked parts boxes,1/4 inch of dust or a month of laundry? How is it defined other than a car found in a barn or barn like structure?

Apparently, current usage of the term permits "poetic license". Exactly who licenses them? Sounds like a political appointee?
If it still has a lien its not a barn find it s bank fraud ;D

Now guys, it says barn find "condition". Their saying that it would have the condition of a barn find with the scant of dust on it and found in a......storage shed? NOT!!!
