Investment properties 50 years ago

If time travel had already been invented, we wouldn't be short of ideas on how to mess up the past a little. For example, we could travel back exactly 50 years to 1966 and snatch two cars that were advertised in the same month.
There's the Porsche RSK, which was driven by Hermann Müller at the Gaisberg race, among others, and was sold in March 1966 "due to retirement from racing" with a freshly fitted Porsche 904 works engine, presumably for just over 20,000 francs.
Or the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ, which you could get as a racing car with 8 rims and an exhaust system for road and racing for probably 15,000 francs and even trade in a little.
It would have been enough to store the two cars safely, only to find them again 50 years later as a "barn find". Today, both cars are worth many times their original price, the Porsche is estimated to be worth millions, the Alfa in the upper six-figure range. So the stakes could have been multiplied many times over.
However, would we have been able to store the treasure safely and unnoticed for so long?
