Barn Finds

How about barn finds that differ between user? Now, of course we’d all have access to the same barn find vehicles; but, what if they were scattered randomly so that the order in which we find them differs? It could be a heck of an interesting twist on the feature. Your first barn find is some old, decrepit Ford and I come away with a vintage Ferrari … so on and so forth.

My comment in the bolded section : Wouldn’t it be cool if we’d found the barn finds in the same order, but in different places? That would be crazy? :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously, that idea is great, and doesn’t require a ton of effort. The only moment I can see it not be possible is if the cutscenes are based around the barn find, but even then, the commenting, and the assets could be already “tied” to the barn find, meaning that it can be independant from the cutscenes.

I’d like to see the barn finds be all old cars. It seemed a little out of place in Horizon to be coming across barn finds that were not that old. It would be best if they were all pre-1970.

Even the 1991 Bugatti EB110 was over 20 years old at the time FH1 launched. That’s still pretty old. Just sayin’.

Most of them were pre 1970 with the exception of the 81 M1 and the Bugatti. The point of barn finds is that they are rare cars which in most cases are older cars.

I just hope the barn finds are not new cars, that will be unrealistic to find a Ferrari California T in the foothills of the ALPS :eyes:

Lol people wanted new cars in Horizon and they’re getting it. Never mind being unrealistic it’s a game xD

A monster truck.

Who’s with me?!

I want to see the following.

1973 Maserati Ghibli
1968 Ferrari 265 GTB4
1969 De Tomaso Mangusta
1960 Aston DB4GT Zagato
1976 Lamborghini Silhouette P300
1957 Mercury Montclair
1967 Pontiac GTO
1961 Porsche Type 356B 1600 Carrera GTL Abarth Coupe
1976 Holden Torana LX
1967 Ford GT40 MKIV LeMans

Well if I wanted a barn find it would be a 1961 Corvette C1 or 1993 C4 or heck a 1971 Buick GTX… but it’s funny how the barn finds are not owned by the person who owns the barn it’s self.
also above the: 1961 Porsche Type 356B 1600 Carrera GTL Abarth Coupe… that would be awesome to have… but dont know if it would count (as a Porsche) :wink:

A thread about barn finds and not one person has suggested a red Barchetta? Thread, I am disappoint. :slight_smile:

"I strip away the old debris, which hides a shining car,

A brilliant Red Barchetta, from a better, vanished time"

It’s perfect. Add “Red Barchetta” by Rush to the soundtrack while you’re at it!

Y’know what I’d like to see as barn finds? Concept cars. Like a Pontiac Banshee, an Olds F-88, or a Dodge Diamante. Something truly unique.

Seconding this, I wanna find an AMX/3 or a '72 BMW Turbo concept rusting away in a barn. Hell, maybe even a Lancia Stratos Zero.

It would be much more fitting with the theme if the barn finds are predominately Italian cars, with perhaps a couple German cars added for good measure. I wouldn’t expect to find old American muscle cars in Italian barns.

Of the barn finds in FH1, the only one that made sense was the 'cuda. As if you’d find an EB110 or a 250TR rusting away in a barn in Colorado?

Probably so…those were just a few I could think of off the top of my head. But you might be surprised…it’s happened before: http://www.autoweek.com/article/20130709/CARNEWS01/130709843

Give me this and i`ll be happy :slight_smile:

I would really like a 1970 dodge charger (if they don’t put in as default)

I’d like to see cars like below. One of the most beautiful looking cars ever made.

Alfa 1900 Zagato
