Some claim that the 2014 French barn findings with those uncommon Ferraris and Bugattis were the greatest discoveries ever made. Even if there won’t be as many jewels like that in one location going forward, there are still plenty of amazing barn finds to be excited about. The clearest example of this is this deserted property in the middle of nowhere.
Documented by YouTube’s “Ethan Minnie,” this barn is somewhat of a mystery. Our host doesn’t reveal its location and it appears to be in the middle of nowhere based on its surroundings (and the fact that he spotted a coyote toward the end of the video). The building has also been abandoned for years based on its advanced state of decades. But it hides quite a few interesting classics.
The first room houses no fewer than four cars, starting with a sixth-generation Mercury Cougar from the 1980s. Yup, this one is far from special, but it sits next to a late 1970s Chevrolet Camaro and a first-generation Ford Mustang. The latter appears to be a 1965 version, which makes it highly desirable among Mustang enthusiasts. It features a cool blue-and-white interior and a manual transmission. The fourth classic, a 1960s Ford Falcon, is almost hidden in a dark corner.
When our second host finds out there’s another room, things get even more interesting. This one has five Ford Mustangs hidden in it. Sadly, it’s too dark to tell exactly, but the other two are first-generation ponies from the 1965–1968 era, while the other three are just plain boring Fox-body variants.
It’s safe to assume that both automobiles have been disassembled for restoration because their cabin components are missing. Sadly, the people working on them gave up, and it appears that they will only ever exist as historical artifacts.
But that’s not all. Our host discovers a third room that also includes an early Ford Mustang. Unlike the others, which are of the fastback variety, this one’s a coupe. Again, it’s too dark to tell for sure, but it could be a 1965 or 1966 version, which may be desirable with the right engine and options.
This room also includes a Ford full-size from the mid-1960s. Based on the headlamps, it’s a 1965 or 1966 Galaxie. Based on the trunk lid trim, it’s a 1965 version, but I’m not sure since it may be missing some bits. This car appears to be in solid condition, but it’s been parked for years with the soft top folded so the cabin is pretty much covered in dust.
Sadly, it looks like none of these cars will be saved anytime soon, so they’re likely to rot away where they stand. And that’s a shame because those first-gen Mustangs are definitely worth saving. Check them out in the video below.
