An auction is coming up next week featuring what might be one of the ultimate barn-find collections. The collection features cars like the Lamborghini Miura, Jaguar E-Type, Porsche 356, Chevrolet Corvette, even a 1956 Lincoln Continental. In addition to the rare classics like the Miura, there are dozens of other classic European and American cars that were abandoned around the property in Tarbes, France.
