This is not verifiable, but a Shelby GT 350 #6s966 may have been pulled out of a Kansas garage after 30+ years

This story has issues, but notice the photo of the GT 350 doesn't have the H after the GT 350 on the rocker panel decal, and the story claims it is a GT 350 H rent a racer Hertz car with original paint.the original story http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2011/apr/02/rare-1966-shelby-gt350-fastback-found-garage-lawre but Jalopnik has the story http://jalopnik.com/#!5787316/how-a-66-shelby-gt350-was-hidden-in-trash-for-26-years as March 30th 2011 and writes that it's a Hertz rent a racer GT 350 H, and the Leake Auction website has no story to go with the photo gallery of the GT 350 that does not have an H after the GT 350.
The CNN video news clip never mentions Hertz. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2011/04/06/dnt.rare.nustang.found.kctv?hpt=T2
Shelby Forums says that this will be written up in the Spring 2011 issue of the Shelby American http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/13464-6s966-found-shed.html

I learned about this story from Robert L and his link was to the Kansas City Star article: http://www.kansascity.com/2011/04/09/2789114/rare-car-found-hidden-beneath.html
The SAAC forum addresses this story http://saacforum.com/index.php?topic=12348.0 and in the thread they state it was orignally a GT 350 H red and gold, but now has a replacement engine as well as a repaint
If anyone knows more about this, or has read the spring 2011 Shelby American, please drop me an email and add anything you can to this story
Thanks to Chad Lawhorn the story writer from the Lawrence Journal for sending me the link to the original article!

GTX
GSX, yup, real one
Z code 63 1/2 Galaxie , that means high performance, and highly desireableThey're still out there, and some are never going to part ways with the nimrod that owns it, and tells every possible buyer "Someday I'll restore it" but will die before he ever touches that car again, meanwhile it rusts so much no one can do anything with it.
But every now and then, the owner has forgotten the car was even hanging around because it faded into the background of the family farm

1929 factory race Harley. Not found in a barn, it was found in a mine in Australia

A. L. Bicker had heard stories of this machine still in a wooden crate and traced the Harley-Davidson to a mining operation in Western Australia.
It was indeed in the men's room of the mine. Best of all, the machine was a factory racer with overhead valves. Essentially a twenty year old motorcycle at the time, it was not coveted as a rare antique but still a desirable machine to own and use.
Sold for 125,000 in Jan 2011 at the Bonhams auction in Las Vegas
