It's making the rounds for sure and being described as "patina".

Barn finds! How does this happen?

Gee Martha, I finally found the ole 63 in the hay loft!

What a great selling technique! Drag your old car you can’t sell with normal techniques into the barn, or a field, cover it in dust, junk and mouse remains and sell it for a fortune. I am formulating a plan now.

Great example of a flipper trying to hype something up to make it seem more epic and get more $$$ from a sucker

That cars been listed at least a couple times on the C1/2 side and I think it sold not that long ago to the current seller.

It's a base car with automatic. It would never bring $150,000 dollars, like the story says, even if it was perfect.
