This guy found the equivalent of a gold mine of muscle cars in the middle of nowhere.
The fun part is he wasn’t trying to find it, he just sort of stumbled into it.
This abandoned warehouse is home to several muscle cars from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
He even found a tractor.

A gold mine of muscle cars
Raul Burgos found this abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere.
The warehouse is home to some gems, including some rare ones.
For example, Burgos also found a fifth-generation Dodge Charger, from the 1980s.
But the warehouse is packed with all sorts of vehicles, including pick-up trucks, and even a tractor.
Burgos spoke to the owner apparently and it emerged that some of these cars were left here 40 years ago.
The odd one out
Dodge unveiled Charger in the mid 1960s and for four generations, the car embodied the visual idea that we have of a muscle car.
The ‘General Lee‘ Dodge Charger from the Dukes of Hazzard TV show certainly helped.
Then they changed the shape with the sixth generation, when Dodge turned the Charger into a four-door sedan, before going back to the two-door configuration with the new electric one.
But, between those four generations with two doors and the sixth generation with four doors, we had the fifth-gen Charger, which looks nothing like any other Charger.
Between 1966 and 1978, Dodge Charger always looked like a muscle car.
The Fourth generation was a bit more slender, the first one was a little more compact, but the proportions were the same.
Then, in 1981, Dodge unveiled the fifth-generation Charger, which looked totally different.
Built on Chrysler’s front-wheel drive platform, it was a two-door hatchback, more than a coupe or a muscle car.
In a way, it kind of reminds us of some Japanese cars from the era.
It didn’t even use American engines, because it was also available with a Peugeot 1.6-liter I4 and a Volkswagen 1.7-liter I4.
It looks a bit funky, which is why some people love it, while others hate it, but it certainly feels special.
