The lottery winner’s classic car collection
Ethan Minnie, explorer of all things abandoned, uncovers a classic car collection of decrepit Ford Mustangs, in addition to a few other interesting vehicles.
He’d been trying to triangulate the secret-location stash for over three years.
Per Minnie’s intel, this classic car collection belonged to someone who won the lottery in the 1980s.
However, their windfall sadly didn’t last and they later went bankrupt.
Upon entering the barn, the content creator first discovers a seventh-generation Mercury Cougar from the early 1990s.
A 1980 Chevrolet Camaro sits next door and, unbelievably, the owner’s manual is still sitting in the glove box.
Despite this time-capsule detail, sadly a few of the vehicles had been vandalized with broken windows and spray paint.
In front of the Camaro? A 1960s Ford Mustang Convertible which is in pretty condition due to a missing roof allowing water and debris to seep inside.
Walking through to the back corner, a first-generation early 1960s Ford Falcon has all its glass intact and no rust.
In similar news, this mechanic who won $136m lottery prize now owns a fleet of supercars and his own race team.
Meanwhile, this $2 billion Powerball lottery winner bought an incredible car with his winnings.
The second room
Carrying on through the secret-location property lies a Fox body Mustang from before the 1987 model year design switch that smoothed out the front.
A pair of 1960s Mustangs sit in a corner in rough shape with several missing parts.
However, it’s a late 1980s Chevy Caprice wagon taking up the center of the room.
Further into the building still, finds an early 1980s Cadillac Seville.
Other than a smashed window, it’s in good shape.
A mid-1960s Ford Galaxie convertible, however, didn’t fare so well.
Finishing off the collection is a Fox body Mercury Capri and a 1960s Mustang.
While it’s suggested who these cars once belonged to, it’s unclear who now owns them.
This sad state of affairs isn’t unusual for a jackpot winner – this lottery winner tore through a record-breaking $50 million win including outrageous cars in the eight years before his death.
