Geez louise. It would take days to unpack all that and this video is just one of three ware houses. Wow. I agree with many of the commenters that its a shame that these cars have been neglected they way they have.

I only made it 5 minutes through. Strange barn find, not what is usually thought of by that. Any knowledge about the owner? Seems like the guy had more money than brains. Hoarding almost.

No idea who he is and haven't looked to find out. Agree. Way more money than brains.

At least 8 C2 big block Corvettes, at least one 288 GTO, at least one Ferrari Lusso from the mid-Sixties...this isn't your everyday barn find...unless the barn is on an oil sheik's farm...

I thought that was a 288. Saw the driving lights and that was the first thing that came to mind.

I'll just take a wild guess and say the accumulation of cars might have been done with ill got gains. Cars being harder to trace than money? IRS or partnership dalliance?

That video shows the difference between a collector and a hoarder.
