They look pretty legit. They seem to clean though to have sat for that long unless they cleaned them up before filming.

To each their own! Brown is probably my least favorite on a car. I mean it looks just fine but not my thing.  |

Both of these cars were offered for sale by their owner in 2011, and were bought as a package deal before being retailed to separate buyers. I don't know what the term "barn find" is supposed to impart, but neither car was a secret and their whereabouts - and storage - had been known by many people for many years. If storing a car in your garage for a period of time makes for a barn find, there will be a lot of them getting "discovered" soon.

Just bought Gumball rally from flea bay and watched it the other day. In the scene near the end when they are stuck in traffic. The front end of the cobra is smashed and the spot lights are missing. You can tell it's ali.
Then after that scene it's fine again.?

As I remember two cobras were used for the film. There is good history on them.

I think barn find is one description that is getting abused and I don't understand it a times. You mean a dirty car stored in someones garage is more valuable to keep dirty these days. lol Thanks for posting.
