A collapsing barn is often the last place you think you’d find a Ferrari or Porsche, but this building was hiding supercar gold.
The surprise was unearthed by one content creator who took a leap of faith on an unseen bunch of cars.
After finding them, curiosity got the better of her, and she made an offer, not knowing if they were actually in working order.
And then she had to get them home…

This epic Ferrari and Porsche discovery will leave you in awe
We love barn finds here at Supercar Blondie, and usually we bring you all of the latest muscle car and vintage discoveries, but just wait until you see this one.
Content creator Madison Merchel shared how she’d managed to stumble across news of three cars sitting still after their owner sadly passed away.

So, interested in what condition the cars were really in, she made the ultimate gamble and bought all three.
The cars in question?
A Ferrari 360 Moderna, a 996 Porsche Carrera, and a Porsche 986 Boxster, so they really had hit the car jackpot.
Then, armed with trailers and hope, they made the journey up to the barn, ready to face the music.
As expected, the cars all looked a little worse for wear, covered in mold, dust, and dirt.
One of the vehicles even had an animal’s nest in it, proving that it had been left for a substantial amount of time.

But the real task at hand was seeing if any of them could actually start up and move.
Three cars and one mission: cranking the engine
As luck would have it, after hooking up a new battery and enlisting the help of fresh fuel and oil, the Porsche models and the 360 Moderna all managed to crank up.
Now, thanks to the supercars sitting untouched for a large amount of time, some work needed to be done to make them road-ready again, so the next task was getting them home.

Madison decided to load the 360 Moderna and Porsche Carrera onto the trailer, and was set to come back for the subsequent Boxster in due course, time permitting.
Once home, she tested out the Porsche Carrera in all its glory and found that it was leaking fluid on her driveway, which obviously needed fixing.
The plan was to clean up the cars the next day and see what they were really working with beyond the condition of the engine.
We’ll bring you the next instalment when we can, so keep your eyes peeled.
