Barn Find???

[Shelby_r_b]

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?

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?

Mark, it gets worse than that:

indeed - I guess the hysteria is officially and fully out-of-control

Apparently, current usage of the term permits "poetic license". Exactly who licenses them? Sounds like a political appointee?
