This man went on a hunt for six classic cars stuffed in the middle of Los Angeles because he loves Californian Jeeps – and what he found was so impressive.
There’s nothing like a classic Jeep, but to find six in great condition, some with extremely rare options and customs, is almost unheard of.
The man travelled with his team to rescue the six classics, all packed together in a busy square in the middle of Los Angeles.
Despite issues like flight delays, rusting and having to expend a lot of energy and willpower, the team had a great experience rescuing the six classics, and they had a very delicious celebration after the rescue mission.

When you find out that your dream car is available, you’ll move mountains to try and get your hands on it, but when there are six of your dream cars available in one place, you want to get there like yesterday.
That was the case for this Californian Jeep lover, a YouTuber called Dennis Collins, who kicked off an early morning Jeep hunt from Dallas to Los Angeles because he was told that six classic Jeeps were waiting for him.
The six classics came from the 1976-1986 era and were a mixture of different models with exciting extra customizations and rare limited edition builds.
Immediately, Dennis and his team were hit with flight delays, which was a disappointing start to what should have been a very exciting Jeep hunt.
When Dennis finally found them crowded together in the middle of Los Angeles, his mind was blown by the collection, which included two 1976s, two 1979s and two 1984s.
One of the Jeeps was a CJ7 Limited, the highest trim of the era, and another was a Laredo, both loaded with rare options like leather interiors and unique trim kits. The CJ7 was incredibly rusty, but the team still wanted it.

Dennis and the team used a bit of old-fashioned manpower and some even more old-fashioned jacks to load their six new dream cars onto their trailers right off Venice Boulevard.
Despite the flight delays, rusty CJ7 and having to manually load all of the Jeeps onto trailers, the team were incredibly pumped about their Jeep rescue mission and celebrated by visiting a Persian restaurant.
It was a delicious end to a great day all around.
