It’s always interesting to see valuable classic cars in barn find condition, which means dusty and inoperable for a long time. But to behold over 200 of them in a single building, with a number of highly desirable models, and it’s easy to see why people are so mesmerized by this video footage.
Barn find Dodge Viper should be illegal.
Among the impressive rides housed in this dusty old facility are many Ford Mustangs, including a Shelby GT500 KR, almost as many Camaros, Cadillacs, Rolls-Royces, and so much more. A number of the cars are convertibles, so we’re guessing the late owner had a thing for drop tops.
Some have taken issue with Classic Car Rescue, which shared this peek at the car collection stored in some old industrial building at an undisclosed location. They have a few problems with how the video was portrayed.
For starters, it says the cars were “abandoned.” While some are clearly in some stage of disassembly, they don’t look overly neglected, just dusty. Some even have newer covers over them. So people are correct – these rides haven’t just been forgotten.
The other issue is their being called “barn finds.” There’s some confusion about what that term means. Far too many are under the assumption it literally means a car was found tucked away inside a barn. And they’re so literal they believe the structure has to be made of wood and painted red.
In reality, “barn find” is a condition where the vehicle hasn’t been started up or driven in a long time, is caked in dust, yet hasn’t rejoined the earth, yet. These cars qualify, even though they’re in what is obviously not a barn.
There are some newer vehicles in the mix, which is random and a little funny. Among them is a Mercedes G-Wagon, which is partly covered so we can’t see too much of the German SUV. There’s also a Lexus GX 470 of all things. Were it not for the dust all over the thing, we’d think it belonged to the guy who took the video, but it instead is part of the collection. Go figure.
Check out the video for yourself; it’s packed with some amazing rides.
