Vintage rides often turn out in barn finds, but most of them are abandoned by their previous owners. Not this collection, though — someone traveled to Georgia, United States and discovered a barn that was hiding over 30 classic cars.
This wasn’t your average lot of abandoned vehicles but rather a collection that stored memories.
Mike, a 70-year-old man, had kept all the cars with which he had memories in one place instead of giving them away.
As it turns out, he now has a collection with over 30 of these, and they could use some attention.

Man finds 30 classic cars hidden in a barn
A YouTube channel that goes by Backyard Barn Finds posted a video about this collection, where Mike revealed how he got all his vintage vehicles.
The entire collection is not just for the sake of it — Mike only has the cars that were part of his life.
When you think of classic cars today, a bunch of Chevys, Fords, and Pontiacs might instantly come to mind.
This collection boasts precisely that, and all of them were hidden from the roads in a barn.
The video showed that all classic cars had a sizeable home, but the actual barn needed some serious repairs.
By the way, Mike’s barn was across Rick Ross’ Georgia mansion, so he actually had another enthusiast neighbor.
For context, Rick Ross holds car shows at the mansion every year.
Right off the bat, Mike told the host about a Le Mans-edition Pontiac Tempest with a V8, which was iconic in its time.
It had been sitting there for over two decades but could still shine once again.
All vehicles were there for a reason
Next up, there was a 1965 Chevy Corvair, which was Mike’s daily driver for several years before he got married.
Just when he was about to tie the knot with his to-be wife, he got a particular car — a 1970 Monte Carlo — which is actually his favorite out of the bunch.
Mike also told the story behind a 1963 Dodge Station Wagon, which his father bought.
If you haven’t already gotten the idea, all these cars have a special place and memories, so this collection stands out.
Although some cars, like the 1950 Chevy Bel Air, were solely in there as collectibles, most were rather nostalgic.
As remarkable as this collection was, many of these required restoration.
Mike mentioned that he had plans to repair the barn and take on some restoration projects.
We hope that he gets around to it, as these classic cars could shine once again and hit the road.
