Classic car left in shed for 30 years goes for over $200K at auction
An Australian Ford Falcon XA GT Hard Top RPO 83 Manual Coupe was recently auctioned for over $215,000. The owner held on to the car for 30 years and rejected several offers reportedly because it was the car he owned when he first got married.
Some people have very specific tastes.

A collection of Plymouths, DeSotos and a Dodge from the 1932 model year are being auctioned in Acheson, Kan., on Nov. 14 by VanDerBrink Auctions.
The cars belonged to Paul Adair, a banker from the Kansas City area who died in November 2019. Adair purchased the cars over the years and reportedly stored them in rental units and the decommissioned salt mines around Kansas City that have been converted into storage facilities. His family didn't discover how many he owned until after his death.

Among the 14 Plymouths is a rare right-hand-drive, four-door Phaeton convertible that is one of 259 built. There are also two DeSoto roadsters – one in pretty good shape and the other in need of a major restoration – a couple of models from 1929 and 1931 and a 1984 Chevrolet C/K 30 Series car hauler to move everything around in.
