The location of J-418 in the NYC parking garage was no mystery. I heard another X survived but didn't know where until Leno bought it. Since Tom Cotter's (wonderful) book "The Cobra in the Barn" was published, the car media has made a big deal over these "barn finds," but to me a "barn find" is something that wasn't known to exist until it was "found." Everything else is just an unrestored car.
We will find one in Europe, and soon. Mark my words.
Randy should write a book about what was in the garage with the X. The Duesenberg was known to Randy and probably Fred and a few others. However, I do believe all the other stuff they found with the car probably does qualify as true "barn finds'. One example is this original Stutz SuperCharger, one of 4 or 5 known to still exist.
