Abandoned Museum Holds More Than 200 Incredible Classic Car Barn Finds

Barn finds are some of the most incredible vehicles, and occasionally a collection of them will appear that will simply take our breath away. YouTube channel Classic Car Rescue has found an abandoned automotive museum that has over 200 classic cars hiding inside it, all left to rot in this former museum. There is an incredible array of machines tucked away in the museum, all of which are simply begging for a rescue.

The video starts with no background music or commentary and continues that way, with the eerie silence of the museum doing enough to convey the atmosphere of the video. Some incredible classic cars are on display, such as a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR, a model that was at the time the most powerful Mustang ever in the late 1960s.

The Mustang appears to be in good condition apart from the dust and dirt covering it. This is a theme with many of the vehicles that are sat abandoned in the collection.

As the video goes on, we see just how extensive this collection of vehicles is. There are muscle cars ranging from the classic Chevrolet Camaro Z28 to various Mustangs, and there are luxury vehicles like classic Rolls-Royce’ and some old Cadillacs.

The fact there are multiple Rolls-Royce in the collection tells us just how extensive it is, and there are plenty of examples of Mustangs, both regular Ford models and Shelby versions as well. The museum site looks more like an abandoned warehouse than a former exhibition area.

Unfortunately for us, the video doesn’t tell us where the cars are or what happened to them. The story behind how they became abandoned is no doubt fascinating, but it is likely that this former museum simply did not get the attention it needed, so it closed down.

Or, this was a private collection that someone had amassed with perhaps too many cars for them to handle. The saving grace for all of these machines is that they are at least undercover and protected from the elements. That should make any potential restoration of these vehicles easier in the future.

How cool. Fascinating very much so. What a great find this would be. All you’d need then would be a few million dollars and about 50 years and you’d have them all restored.

Muscle car heaven. But only one car in the lot I would bother with - the Porsche.

I missed it, where is the Porsche?

I think this is someones private collection and probably not abandoned. At least the cars here are protected from the elements better than what happened here:

My bad. Not a Porsche. I meant the cream car that flashed by at 3:00min. No idea what it is. It's a bit big for my taste though. Looks like it drives like a high powered couch.
