We have witnessed over the years many finds in barns, but something like this doesn't happen often. On the channel Classic Car Rescue na YouTube a video was released showing extensive collection cars in various states of preservation that could be worth several millions in total. Just two models in this sea of iron they can cross the line million. But more on that later.
First, here it is not a barn. The term "barn find” has evolved to encompass all manner of abandoned or forgotten cars, including an alleged collection of over 200 vehicles stacked in old warehouse. The title of the video says it's about old museum, but whatever it is, it houses an impressive collection of classics.
Where should we start? The video starts with the classics American muscle men, namely two models Camaro first generation and red Shelby Mustangs – probably GT500 from 1969. We see even more in the nine-minute clip Mustangs, including a rare convertible Shelby GT500KR from 1968. Assuming it's not a replica, it's one of only 518 made and could be very valuable. Red KR from 1968 was recently sold at Barrett-Jackson za $ 205.000. And that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. The video takes us past many American classics from the 50s and 60s, including many Cadillacs from the tail bar era. There is also a lot to see sedans and coupes from the XNUMXs and XNUMXs, but not all of them are American. In the video, we approach the classic Rolls-Royce, but we'll see later Volvo P1800. Looking for something more modern? It's under the hood Mercedes-Benz class G. Not to mention the convertible Dodge dakota pick-up, which was introduced at the end of the XNUMXs.
Then we get to Auburn's. Wait a minute, huh? Yes, there could be two vehicles in the corner of the warehouse Auburn Boattail Speedsters, parked near the Camaros seen at the beginning of the video. We expressly emphasize that could be, as these cars are extremely rare and valuable, but they do exist replicas. The video isn't clear enough to capture the details, and unfortunately we never get to see a close-up. Light blue model but has markings that resemble the stern of a boat. Just for comparison: earlier this year there was a model 851 SC Speedster from 1935 sold at auction for $ 747.500.
There is no information in the video about the history of these cars, about who might own them or where the building is located. Considering what's inside, it's probably the best location remains a secret. Hopefully soon there will be someone who will brought these classic vehicles back to life.
