Firefighter Buys Widow’s Old Porsche and Finds What Her Husband Left Behind 46 Years Ago

What began as a casual chat about an old sports car turned into one of the most touching barn finds in recent memory. When firefighter Matt admired an elderly woman’s Porsche 924 Carrera GT, she told him it wasn’t for sale, but mentioned her late husband had owned another one, tucked away for decades.

When she led him to the barn, Matt couldn’t believe his eyes. There sat an original 1968 Porsche 912, untouched since 1979. Dust coated every surface, but the car’s elegant shape was unmistakable. On the driver’s seat lay a folded newspaper dated November 29, 1979, the day the car was last started. It felt as though time itself had stopped!
