Earl Trammell classic car collection

Unlike typical barn finds where vehicles are often in poor condition, every car owned by Earl was in excellent shape.

This shows that Earl didn’t just collect these cars to show off; he truly loved and took great care of his classic car collection.

The story of Earl and his incredible car collection was definitely worth sharing, and John Clay Wolfe covered the story on his YouTube channel.

You can watch that video here.

Trammell had stored his cherished cars in various locations, including basements and a nondescript barn.

Despite living in the small town of Warrior, Alabama, he managed to keep his impressive collection a secret from the world.

The cars were in excellent condition

So, are you excited to find out what classic pieces were in his collection?

The stunning lineup included a 1990 454SS, a 1988 35th Anniversary Corvette, a 1996 Porsche C4S Manual, a 1990 Corvette ZR1, a 1968 Camaro 396 SS Coupe, and a 1973 Lincoln Continental MK IV.

These are just a few of the many rare gems he bought during his lifetime.

Interestingly, some cars in his collection had impressively low mileage.

His 1998 Indy Pace Car only had 23 miles on the odometer, for example.

Earl’s possessions could have remained hidden, but came to light when his wife, Patricia, decided to sell it.

As expected, car enthusiast John Clay Wolfe was amazed by the excellent condition in which the late mechanic had kept his cars.

He even called it the biggest car find of his career.

Earl may be gone, but his passion for cars still shines and fascinates collectors everywhere.
