DESCRIPTION:
"Cool stories, but" according to S. Hammond. Great stories, but hopefully in the next edition there will be more stories from non-millionaires that can't afford to drop a few hundred grand on these cool cars (and the restorations). Maybe there will be more submissions from the guy who got that classic Camaro for free from the old lady next door. I'm still searching for mine!. Tom Cotter does it again Rider Boy "Cobra in the Barn" was so good that I worried this follow up might seem watered down, but if anything, the sequel is even better than the original. Tom Cotter deserves credit for creating not one but two of the finest automotive books ever written. Good work!. Roger Champagne said hemi in the barn. awesome!!! if i could write as an author- this would be my life long story! it made me feel like i was "hemi in the barn" according to Roger Champagne. awesome!!! if i could write as an author- this would be my life long story! it made me feel like i was 21 and hunting again--in fact i may start again. a real treasure for classic car lovers!!!. 1 and hunting again--in fact i may start again. a real treasure for classic car lovers!!!
A great gift for that gearhead on your list.” - Still Runnin Magazine . Edmunds, June 2007“Tom Cotter's sequel to last year's best-selling The Cobra in the Barn relays one great tale after another, with players unearthing rare cars to die for. These are great stories about great cars.” Cars & Parts Magazine,December 2007“Anyone who grew up with tales of buried treasure, loves a good mystery, or simply a rousing good read, are sure to enjoy both titles.” Musclecar Enthusiast, January 2008
There's the find of legendary race builder Smokey Yunick's Boss 302 Trans-Am car. And as Tom Cotter showed us in The Cobra in the Barn, it's a fantasy that can come true. There's another 1931 model Dusenberg Leno found in a parking garage in New York City that was parked in 1933 and was never moved. And there's the story of the original Cobra Daytona Coupe built by Peter Brock and sold to Phil Spectre--a story that somehow involves a chauffeur's daughter setting herself and her rabbits on fire. The treasures include an armored Mercedes-Benz Aktion P command car discovered in pieces in Russia, a desirable Dodge Daytona Hemi virtually abandoned behind bushes in a guy's yard, a bushel of Bugattis in a barn, the ‘Divorcee Cobra,’ and a GTO owned by a mobster. There's a Plymouth Superbird found buried in a hedge out of sight in
