learned about it from http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/vintage-thru-365-gtc4-sponsored-redline-restorations/399562-zz-top-drummer-frank-beard-ferraris.html

Source of the photo, and there is a long article at http://www.stevestatham.com/automotive.html

Looks sorta odd with the white front bumper huh? That is just one unique detail, and the factory had to sell it that way, because the paint hadn't been figured out that would stay on the Endura bumpers.

Learned about it on the backpage of the Dec 2012 Muscle Car Review

Someone please slap the person responsible, across the face or soundly up the back of the head. Make it hurt as much as the look of these headlights does

 That is a barn, sometimes they are easy to distinguish, and sometimes, they look like a lot of wood in a vague pile that might have space under it
 Inside you mghight find a pile of stuff... like the above 1961 Renault Carvelle, or even better the below 1956 Jaguar xk 140.

 Or sometimes you might just see that pile has a tail light under it. Right in the above photo to the bottom left
 or the above pile with a hood and a bit of windshield
 turns out to be a 1969 GTO
 Look in the back, a lot of people are not happy about every poor out of money dreamer asking if they want that car hauled away, and so they pushed it around to the back of the garage
 or threw a tarp over it. Above, a 68 Mustang, below, a Boss 302 Mustang
So.. that is about all you need to know about barnfinds, now, here are the ones that were up for sale last year

1947 Pontiac woody (these woodys are worth upward of 50 thou in this condition)
