The myth of the barn find lives, at least on the internet. It's always hard to get the full story from an web posting, but in this case the details look fairly legitimate. After all, the story appears on a website called "Cars in Barns," how could it be wrong?
In this case, site author Ryan Brutt visited the "collection" of a Mopar enthusiast near Bloomington, Indiana. He had multiple barns full of everything Mopar, but the big prize was a Dodge Charger Daytona buried under various boxes. It's rough to say the least, but it appears to be the real deal.

Whomever abandoned the car and those who chose to pile all that crap on it should......well......be taken behind the barn!

There is something not right about the picture. Appearance of the wood, clean walls of the pole barn do not match up with the condition of the cars. They were stored in another building before being moved to the one pictured.

Interesting observation/point, Moparbad.

I would suggest clicking the link before getting too suspicious. Although it's entirely possible that all the cars were stored somewhere else at one time, it's pretty clear the current owner likes to collect and store Mopar merchandise.

Hi there, I'm the one that found these cars. My name is Ryan Brutt.
FYI... it was near Bloomington, IL.
The cars have sat there for many, many years.
There was also 2 69 Hemi Charger R/T's in there.

Is that a Rambler sitting next to it? And a BMW motorcycle?

Bike looks a bit like a 60s-era Honda Dream.
