My buddy and I occasionally set up a pile of junk for sale at local car or tractor shows and we hear every conceivable version of this story from dudes who visit our tables, sometimes we'll hear different versions from the same guy a few hours apart! The wars and the cars evolve with the times, but the same basic outline- a desirable vehicle sold for pennies on the dollar by a woefully uninformed relative never changes. If 10% of those tales were true, it would be amazing how many ultra-rare cars, trucks, tractors and motorbikes ther are hidden in old or divorced lady's barns per square mile around every one of us. Even more unbelievable, NOBODY who ever tells these stories was ever the person to buy the vehicle, although some variations cast the teller as the first one to TRY to buy it, but they wouldnt take a cheque so they went to get cash, and when they got back... It was always sold to somebody else in another town. Both of which never have a name.
I take them with the same grain of salt as the stories I get from my auction buds who tell me that that ONE auction I DIDNT go to was where the auctioneer was just giving stuff away!
AFTER SAYING ALL THAT, there is ONE old lady with a barn story I know to be true because it actually happened to me. I got a 100% original, never repainted 1950 Farmall Cub Demonstrator and a pile of attachments out of a barn, but it took me 25 years of working for the widow of the original owner to get it, so I'm not sure who really got the best end of that deal...

In the summer of 1995, my father, Russ Goodwin, and I acquired the 1945 Farmall B that my grandfather used as an overseer on a farm in Waynesboro, Georgia. After my grandfather’s death in 1955, J.P. Rollins, son of the landowner, used the tractor. In the winter 1985, while in his possession the engine block cracked and was unrepairable. He had told my father
