Barn finds really are the ultimate win when you’re an avid auto fan. But it’s not just cars that are discovered in huge warehouses.
Aircraft and machinery can also be waiting to be given another shot at some action, too.
Supercars are often found hidden in the echoing spaces, as when this father and daughter duo bagged a rare find of a 1966 Ferrari in Michigan. Lucky right?
One guy even came across the world’s fastest truck that had been locked away in Australia for over 15 years.
But this lucky Youtuber really hit the jackpot when he stumbled on this location stuffed with gem after gem.
Jimmy’s World uncovered the ‘biggest barn find of his life’ and quite literally couldn’t believe his eyes
This rare barn find had planes to keep anyone occupied for days

Among the tanks and trucks were some impressive aircraft snap ups screaming for a second shot at life.
In fact, the standout find for us could be the fighter jet that was just waiting to be mended and flown up into the blue once more.
Yes, that’s right, there was a real fighter jet, and that really was just the tip of the iceberg.
A firefighter bomber and T28 military trainer were also begging to be saved, and Jimmy was amazed at just how many aircraft were grouped together in one location.
Then, inside the hanger was where the real gems were resting

Once he took a peek inside the aircraft hanger, his imagination was left to run wild with ideas and possibility.
Rows of historic machinery were at his fingertips with some pretty impressive standout picks.
A piece of history in the form of a blue helicopter peaked Jimmy’s interest.
He then found out that it was ‘apparently’ the first ever civilian helicopter in Canada, and hadn’t been flown for about a decade – impressive huh?
In fact, the Bell 47 helicopter became the first to be licensed for ‘civil operation’ in 1946, as noted by the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.
A Jeep with a huge cannon – an ‘evil villain half-track truck’ – and even a Cobra attack helicopter were discovered, including rockets… Although quite why they still had their rockets remains to be seen.
We’re not even sure that’s legal.
As if that wasn’t enough, there was also a mean looking marine helicopter.
“It kind of blows my mind that civilians can own this stuff,” he said. And he’s not wrong.
Alongside the aircraft were trucks and tanks too, he really was in luck.
The question we all wanted answered, though: What would Jimmy actually buy?
Now it’s just a case of seeing if he’ll put his money where his mouth is and snap up the goodies.
