Always laughed at the barn with the leaky roof, turns out it was preserving everything

For years I drove past this old hog barn near Mankato and figured whatever was inside had to be rotted junk. Last fall the owner finally let me poke around and I was dead wrong. The constant dripping from that broken ridge vent kept the humidity just right, so the 1972 Chevelle inside had almost zero surface rust. Even the original upholstery was still intact. Funny how the stuff that looks like neglect can actually save a car, has anyone else found a trashed building protecting a gem?
