Ever wondered what kind of treasures you might find in a collection of classic cars?

In Kansas, a man visited his friend’s private collection, which had over 100 classic cars.

Most of these vehicles were bought as junk or forgotten relics. But here’s the twist – many of them were still in surprisingly restorable condition.

An amazing tour of these classic cars was given on YouTube by IowaClassicCars, showing the wide variety of vehicles stored there.

Collection of more than 100 classic cars in Kansas

Though many of the cars looked like they came straight out of a junkyard, some still had intact floors and seats, showing only a bit of sun fading.

These neglected cars truly had so much potential.

For example, a 421 Pontiac appeared quite clean despite its junkyard origins, and a 1960 Buick Invicta Wagon stood out with its striking blue paint, still catching eyes even after all these years.

The owner’s passion for classic cars was clear.

His effort to save and preserve these forgotten vehicles showed his love for the old vehicles.

Some of these cars had features that were quite advanced for their time, like a 1960 Cadillac equipped with an ‘Autronic Eye’ – an early form of automatic headlight dimming.

The 1959 Oldsmobile was another standout, with automatic windows.

The cars had the potential to be restored

If any buyer were to visit this collection, they would definitely see the potential in bringing these cars back to life.

The collection also featured other iconic vehicles such as a few Buicks, Plymouths, Pontiac Stand Delivery, and a 1963 Impala.

It’s more a question of how many of these classic cars could be restored.

But given their condition, it definitely wasn’t too late.

Thanks to the owner’s passion, these cars still have a second chance at life.
