Abandoned car graveyard in Europe hides a mass fortune of vehicles that have been laid to waste

This abandoned car graveyard in Europe is the resting place of a bunch of vehicles that are potentially worth a lot of cash.

They’re actually worth something even in this decrepit state, so you can only imagine what they would be worth if they were in mint condition.

We even spotted several American icons.

Unfortunately, as you can see, they’re probably beyond saving.

One of the vehicles in this car graveyard is potentially worth six figures

We came across an incredible collection of completely abandoned vehicles in a field just outside Serbia’s second-largest city, in Europe.

No one knows how these cars ended up here, but what we do know is, if they were in decent condition, they would be worth a good amount of money.

Among others, we spotted two Mercedes W100s, which, if restored, could be worth $15,000-$20,000 each.

We also spotted a Chevrolet Monza, another $20,000 car when it’s in great shape, and a Buick Skyhawk.

This is worth a bit less, but you can still get $8,000-$10,000 for it.

And then there’s the real gem here: an old Ford that’s either a Ford Standard or Deluxe from the late 1930s or early 1940s, but probably the former.

Not long ago, a Ford just like this one sold for $220,000.

Why this is far from uncommon

You can find warehouses, garages, fields, and sometimes even caves and mines packed with abandoned cars just about anywhere in the world.

The reason why that’s the case is often a combination of circumstances.

Sometimes it’s because the cars were collected by someone who cared, but then inherited by someone who doesn’t.

As in maybe the family’s grandfather had been collecting, or hoarding, let’s face it, cars for a while, but then, decades later, they were inherited by grandchildren who don’t really care and just want to get rid of them.

Sometimes, there’s also legal trouble involved.

That’s what happened to the first-gen Tesla Roadsters acquired by a company that went bankrupt before taking delivery of the cars.

And that’s also what happened with the super rare and very valuable Mercedes SLR that’s been abandoned in Czechia for a while.

One thing’s for sure: it’s always sad to see these cars rot away.
