‘One-in-a-million’ car graveyard found in dusty barn packed with classic motors…that ALL have barely clocked any miles
A "ONE-IN-A-MILLION" collection of classic cars was found inside an old barn - and they've barely clocked any miles.
For decades, a car enthusiast had carefully hidden away dozens of barely-driven vintage motors in an outbuilding in Alabama.
“He was a car and body man for over 60-70 years...and started collecting cars at an early age.
"These cars need to be out where people can see them, so I finally talked my sister into selling the entire inventory.”
The treasure trove of over 22 motors includes a 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 still wearing its delivery packaging with only 25 miles on his odometer.
And sending car-lovers into a frenzy was a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible, a 1979 Stingray with only 41 miles and a 999 F-150 SVT Lightning with 46 miles.
GiveMeTheVin.com (GMTV) bought the whole lot.
Its founder and CEO John Clay Wolfe couldn't believe what he was seeing.
“This is a one-in-a-million barn find,” said Wolfe. “I buy and sell more than fifty thousand vehicles a year....but I’ve never accomplished anything like this.
"The diversity of the collection....is sure to make car junkies salivate when these classics go on display in a few months."
They dubbed the secret collection the "Car collector Holy Grail" and explained that they bought them on the spot.
Recalling the discovery, Wolfe said: "In a tiny little barn in Alabama that looked ridiculous, you'd never expect to find a million dollars worth of cars there."
The auction is planned for Spring 2024 in Texas.
It comes as an urban explorer stumbled across a vintage car graveyard behind an abandoned house and was filled with nostalgia.
Sean Piper discovered classic cars hidden in the back garden of a home in Chester, Cheshire after they had been left to rot for more than a decade.
Elsewhere, a classic microcar will go up for sale having been discovered sitting rusting in a garage for half a century.
