300 CAR BARN FIND: PRIVATE TOUR Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Corvette, Mustang, Porsche

hey guys I hope you're at home staying safe now I've received the most requests for a video I've ever gotten in my entire life and that of course is asking hey can you show a car by card tour of the facility no problem we're gonna do that in a second but I want to give you a little bit of a heads up number one it's very dark in the facility so the exposure on my camera is kind of going in and out same thing with the GoPro so give me a little leeway there number two the cars were so deep so many cars that I couldn't physically get to all of them so I had to hold the camera up sometimes while Holly was describing what's back there and number three this is just one of multiple buildings but at the end of the video I put a little bit of sort of extra footage because there's side pockets and they have really cool engines and just amazing car parts and things like that as well as a few cars so I just added them in at the end now keep in mind this video is thirty minutes long if you need your detailing fix I'm gonna do that in about two weeks where we do a 1967 stingray awesome car so that's gonna be fun now finally the owner called me yesterday and asked hey can you do me a favor and

they're two rows on the back wall exactly so I see the black Porsche back there can you catch a glimpse of the 500 the Shelby 500 that's a triple white convertible one of two that he has ah this one the Superbird this is a great story he found this car when he was about 20 years old it was in a barn in a state where they didn't allow these cars to be on the road because it didn't have a front bumper it wasn't street-legal and the car when it was parked only had a few hundred miles on it it's original white car as you can see the white coming through there and we've already started working on taking the awful blue spray off of it but this car was under a bunch of car covers in a barn so that was a barn find that he did many many many many years ago you can see the headlights are popped up because it doesn't hold when they sit so they naturally pop up and open their eyes I think that's kind of cool underneath it this is one of my favorites this Dodge Charger 67 it's just a gorgeous gorgeous car that's your bought this from a gentleman out of Tucson Arizona same with the blue mantra that we've already looked at another rolls-royce clan a convertible he had a rolls-royce phase so he loved it ah you see the Ferrari down here that's a race car yeah and he has another one of same body style black that's frustrated yep you see that behind it 67 Impala big body I like to call him

a nomad wagon buried back there see it the Roman red I call it orange watch your head AMG Mercedes has a complete custom canvas top yeah it's gorgeous this is a gentlemen's hot rod as I call it this was a GM built two of these back in the day and it was their answer to having more of a gentleman's version of the zl1 so between the colors it's still a high-performance vehicle I wish it was cleaned up right now but we'll get to that in a few weeks but this thing is gorgeous top and bottom one of my absolute favorite cars here Lamborghini uh-huh and then oh yeah the L M double O 2 that one has

you understand how he collected this he followed his heart so whatever made him smile is this was popular to do with the square body Seville's as I call him was to shorten them and make them two doors

Watching the video physically hurts me.

[u/AutomotiveEditor]

As an automotive journalist who covers collector car auctions (among other things), I see one of the major valuation problems is that there are no specs. A 440 Six Pack is worth way less than a Hemi; a 4-speed trumps an automatic; etc.

A Govier or Massini report multiplies the value of a car (Mopars and Fords, respectively), especially coming from a "collection" where "street rodding" intentions seem to be a hallmark.

And holy smokes, when it comes to Corvettes if you don't get a current or former NCRS judge to verify it, in this market, you're going to be getting a fraction of the value regardless of spec.

But worst of all is what every car person knows, that short of burying it or dumping it in the ocean, letting a car just sit for ages means--in the understated vernacular of the industry--they will need "substantial reconditionding." And this is where the "rareness" of a car actually hurts its value.

Now, more than once the "King Tut's Tomb" effect--"I bought this from that crazy barn-find collection"--can raise prices, as did the "barn find" fad. But we're working with scared money these days, and only quality cars with certified provenance pull the big dollars.

I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't love to spend a week or two gathering the necessary data to get the "best price" ball rolling, though, especially for charity.

You name the place, I'll bring the lights (and a respirator)...

This isn't a collection. This is hoarding. The "curator" says in Larry's first video "let someone else enjoy them." Who has enjoyed these cars in the past 30 years? She stated pretty clearly no one has seen this and they are just stashed there.

I got you on the "it is his car and he can do what he wants" but this just seems wasteful and selfish. As someone who was lucky enough to live near Canepa you can see beautiful 7 figure rare machines like this and share the experience with your local community too.

My jaw was on the floor while watching the video. I mean, just finding ONE of those cars stored for 30 years in a warehouse would be a rather big deal, but in this case ... It seems endless. I was still in awe with the Superbird but it kept going on and on and on, I simply didn't have time to recover! Here a XJS, hotrods, there Camaros, Ferraris 288, Daytona, GT 40s, E-types, a fucking LM002, Corvettes, etc and a goddamn Pinto lol.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. I mean you get sometimes hoarders on the Hagerty youtube channel with pretty impressive stuff but in most cases the cars were exposed to the elements and often too far gone. The cars featured here may have been locked away in a warehouse for 25/30 years but apart from the dust and the potential dry rot, I think that most if not all are worthy to be restored.

On the value question. I reached out to a friend who worked for a major auctioneer and now sells privately.

Lol yeah, everyone is sending this to me right now. I can't make a great estimate, based on a few different factors in play. Obviously we need to see more of the cars, but even with a longer video, showing more of the cars' cosmetic/mechanical condition, or even an exact listing of make/model/year, it'd be tough.

First, the race cars are wildly variable based on heritage. We can generally work with a price floor of around $300K for a 935, even one that needs some work. But depending on who drove it, that could double or triple the value. Same thing with that Olds Aurora. Is it the one that won at Daytona? Is it just a chassis with a placeholder engine? Back of the field? That kind of information is a $100K distinction that would need to be made.

On the road car front: yes, '67 Corvettes are always going to have value. But the market is surprisingly liquid and there's almost always an opportunity to obtain a car that has good history, show attendance, and a clean bill of health. I'd feel comfortable putting a $40K price floor on a car with a clean VIN and intact body, but beyond that.... it gets rough. All of those low mileage cars are big question marks also. There is a point at which the cost from negligence overrides the premium of low mileage. Cosmetic work, mechanical work, replacing rotted rubber, reupholstering....

Finally, options. Not all rare options are valuable options. The Porsches are in a good market, but are we talking about a manual or a tiptronic? What engines do the Chargers have? Lots of questions to be answered, all of which have a significant dollar amount attached to them.

Piece out could be anywhere from $60MM to $150MM, there are just too many questions? Re: the lot of them – Honestly, if I had the capital, I would only feel comfortable buying the lot for $40-45MM and praying like hell.

[u/left_turn_signal]

The 288 GTO and GT40 drool...but yeah how can you call this collection its more like hoarder that has zero interest in cars. edit: my theory is this collection belongs to Giotto Bizzarrini.

[u/cnewman3d]

Am I the only one feeling physical revulsion? I'm having a hard time not being pissed off at whoever collected these cars. This is less of a collection and more of a childs toybox to me. Maybe I'm overreacting, but what a display of arrogance.

summarizes every vehicle in this warehouse

Super impressed by how much back story the woman knew about every.single.car in there. There wasn't a single bit of doubt about any car in there. That's pretty damn impressive
