What I initially meant was that my car did indeed come out of a barn. I do acknowledge that "barn find" can generally refer to any car found in long term storage: a shed, garage, basement, dry van trailer (I've seen it) or a Quonset hut, etc. My point was that the circumstances for my 65 were legit as I have seen some slick or puffed up sales ads for old cars emphasizing a "barn find" when the ad's accuracy and truthfulness is suspect. The term can be misused.
