IMHO, a barn find consists of something that has been neglected and "forgotten". Those cars had car covers on them and the fuel in the tank was probably still useable!
I have a car that has been parked since 2009...would that constitute a barn find? It IS older than all of the cars in the barn find noted above!

I agree this was just a person with money speculating on vehicles that might appreciate in value. Most wouldn't have been my picks.

I wouldn't consider it a 'barn find', as Dave mentioned they are all newer vehicles that someone purchased 'hoping' for an appreciation in value. I have to say the Prowlers were likely the worst ones of the lot. From the ones I have seen around here, their build quality was sub-par, power wasn't even close and they are lucky to go for 1/2 their original sticker price. The Ford GT's are the only real winners in my book, YMMV.
