In the '80s in Brazil it was not so unusual for farmers to buy a new vehicle and keep it hidden in a barn until they would supposedly be able to sell them for a premium, due to high inflation rates. Some eventually kept them unregistered and stored after finding out such deal became unprofitable, so once in a while similar barn-find vehicles appear for sale. Engines and NOS replacement parts on the other hand are not so common to appear in those barn-finds here.
