This man visited a 40-acre, city-sized junkyard in Georgia, with 5,000 cars in it – and it could well be the world’s largest.

The yard was filled with rows upon rows of rusted cars, with nature taking over.

Some of the junkers even had trees growing through their cabins.

The auto enthusiast was like a kid in a candy store as he got to explore all of the classics.

Car junkyards can be full of some hidden gems.

For example, one of the most incredible junkyards around is in Fresno, California, and it’s home to 100 acres of hidden gold.

And, if that wasn’t enough, another YouTuber went to a junkyard in Miami and found heaps of unwanted supercars, including a $1.5 million McLaren Senna – talk about luck.

This guy, though, documented his visit to what may just be the world’s largest junkyard, and it really was impressive.

YouTuber John Ludwick explored the leafy car lot in Georgia and found thousands of abandoned vehicles.

The first car that sparked his interest was a Chevy Corvette, which was in a sorry state.

There was also a Mazda R100 hidden among trees and debris.

As you’d expect, being left to nature meant that rust and dirt had taken over most of the cars’ once squeaky-clean outer shells.

One particularly shocking example was an old camper van which had actually been lifted up off the forest floor, thanks to the surrounding plants and nature completely taking over.

An Opel Kadett was also explored by the eager YouTuber, who had driven just over an hour to explore the junkyard in Georgia.

“I think they grossly underestimated when they said there were 4,500 cars in here,” John said as he continued to explore the junkyard paradise.

But, perhaps the most populous rusted member of the can was the humble Corona.

“The Coronas are everywhere,” the YouTuber quipped.

Take a look at all the exploration action down below. And hey, maybe visit if you’d like to see it for yourself, in the flesh.
