A Woman Looked Inside Her Grandma’s Old Garage – And Discovered An Incredible Supercar Surprise

[Music] you may have sometimes gone rooting through your child at home or grandparents house as an adult and the chances are that you'll have stumbled across some slices of pure nostalgia indeed whether it's your childhood toys a vintage record collection or simply some long-forgotten clothes you never know what you might find one woman however found something arguably above and beyond all those treasures an incredible supercar surprise compulsive hoarding isn't just something people used to describe those whose collecting habits have gone a little out of control indeed it's actually a real disorder in its own right if you're unfamiliar with the term it involves amassing so much stuff that you basically can't move in your own home anymore well the items collected by hoarders are often worthless it's not impossible to make some absolutely incredible finds among the junk and it doesn't have to be while they're collecting this stuff it can be years later what everything's been left untouched and forgotten and that's exactly what happened to one Reddit user going by the name of Irie Jin the female student who's based in the u.s. shared the astonishing contents of her grandmother's garage with the car porn subreddit in August of 2018 the reason she chose that particular subreddit well just check out the title of her post despite the dust and rust Gramma's 1981 lamborghini countach is the coolest unsurprisingly the post was a huge hit with her fellow redditors gaining thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments clicking through the links she provided revealed why there indeed was a classic white Lamborghini Countach photographed in her grandmother's garage and no doubt the picture of oak some sweet nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the 80s the car may have looked a little worse for wear unsurprising giving how long had been in there yes the gorgeous yet dusty Countach had actually been sitting inside the garage for more than a decade when Irie Jin took the pictures however the Lamborghini wasn't the only classic supercar sitting inside the garage indeed just creeping into e region's original image was the sight of a red car and after a few redditors enquired she posted a few more pictures which revealed the vehicle to be a Ferrari 308 in the pictures Irie Jin's boyfriend can be seen sitting in the Lamborghini according to the redditor she brought him along to assess the condition of the cars in the background of the pictures there's also an mg type which she dated to around the late 1930s and early 1940s clearly this was a garage full of some seriously cool vehicles according to GT spirit the Countach is a 500 s model which had a limited production run of just 321 cars it also packed a 4.8 liter v12 engine and at its peak could fetch somewhere in the region of 400 to 500 thousand dollars however even in their current condition the Daily Mirror estimated that both the Lamborghini and Ferrari could still be worth around that amount together still you don't need to be a petrol head to recognize just how awesome these vehicles are and if you're a movie buff you may recognize them already after all Leonardo DiCaprio drives something much the same as the Countach in the wolf of wallstreet well the Ferrari 308 is quite like Tom Selleck's iconic ride in magnum p.i but exactly how the cars had wound up there and why they'd been left on touch for so long remain mysterious at least that was until II region revealed all my late grandpa bought it the Lamborghini for his exotic car rental business in 1989 but after insurance costs became too high for him to operate the company he kept the car and many others including the Ferrari 308 in front of the Lambo outside in leaky garages for 20 years instead of selling them she wrote unsurprisingly her fellow redditors were quick to express their interest in the awesome 80 supercars there should be a child protective services you can call for cars wrote one I'd adopt that baby and put some blood sweat and tears into making it a new good life I totally agree this kind of car abuse hurts my soul Irie Jin replied but it's also kind of incredible and rare to see something so beautiful and valuable in this condition indeed she revealed that if she had the chance she'd love to be able to work on the car and restore it back to its original condition inside at least if it were up to me I'd get it running again and clean up the interior but keep the exterior close to as this eerie Djinn explained it has character and tells the story of the car which sets it apart from any other Countach around I can honestly appreciate that more than a perfect paint job unfortunately she acknowledged that her chances of being able to do so are slim that's because her grandmother has five kids and nine grandkids including Gary Ginn however she hopes that if the car stays in the family someone will eventually be able to restore it no matter how long it takes apparently these weren't the only cars that Erie gens grandfather had bought for his rental business indeed she even revealed that he'd once owned a 1955 Mercedes Benz going and that's a car that's now worth somewhere in the region of five million dollars alas that's one super car that wasn't waiting in the garage to be discovered according to Erie gen there are currently no plans to sell the cars however her grandmother is apparently looking to get rid of them sometime soon of course this meant that the post was instantly flooded with offers from hopeful buyers nevertheless while the vehicles may not have been able to make a classic car collectors dreams come true right now the pictures are still worth posting indeed in the follow-up post Erie Ginn wrote I'm glad this picture has elicited so much amazement and joy from the people on the Internet and that was my sole objective and sharing it super car enthusiasts will know that II regions find isn't the first of its kind in fact there have been countless tales of long lost or forgotten cars dug up over the years just take the Ferrari Dino 246 GT that was found buried in a California backyard in 1978 or the 42 year old Bugatti type 22 Brescia found sunk into a lake in 1967 whatever happens to the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari 308 that were found sitting in Origins grandmother's garage there's no denying that the family is sitting on a gold mine not just financially but in terms of pure nostalgia too indeed the cars are an absolutely awesome throwback to the design staples of the 80s for better or worse now who else is off to check out their relatives garages [Music]
