Yeah, or put those hommages into production.

A lot of people are asking how stuff like this ends up in a barn. It's hard to imagine, but at some point, this was just a used-up, old racecar that wasn't competitive any more, and didn't have anywhere to run. Until some time passed, it was quite worthless, at least to the people who put it in the barn. I'm always happy to see old race cars brought back into the light, enjoying a nice retirement in a museum or being run at vintage race events. I hope that's what happens here.
