Old timer at a swap meet in Ohio made me rethink how I hunt for cars

Was talking to this guy at the swap meet outside Columbus last Saturday, he's been finding barn cars since the 70s. He told me I'm wasting time knocking on doors that look abandoned. Said I should look for houses where the grass is cut but the garage door hasn't been opened in over a year. Never thought of it that way, those places usually have something tucked away inside. You guys ever try this approach or got your own weird method?

Usually pretty rough honestly. Dust, dirt, maybe some mouse nests, but the body's often in decent shape since it's not sitting out in the weather. Seen a few where the tires are flat and the battery's dead, but the metal's still solid once you wipe it down.

So what kind of shape are the cars in those unopened garages usually?
