May Have been posted before, however, another hidden collection of classics that came to light after the owners death
The rundown AK Miller Farm in Vermont was not what it seemed. After Alex and Imogene Miller both passed away in the '90s, the barns were found stuffed with more than farm equipment -

What a find
I'd be happy with a one car, any car, barn find.
Come to think of it we have a miserly farmer just down the road
Thanks Scotty |

Thanks Scotty. A remarkable story indeed and appears so far fetched that any movie would be considered a work of fiction.
Here is a link to Christie's auction. Unfortunately the photos have been taken down. After the actual cars, there is a list of assorted lots.
No need to worry about trying to keep a running total, the web page has it at the top. 2,185,138 (USD) (Prices include buyer's premium)
Not sure about any other forum members, but I find it impossible to imagine what it was like living the kind of life that the Miller's did.
More information about Alex Miller can be found here

Photos of some of his vehicles, pre auction and the man himself.
