Man’s seven-year chase pays off as he saves seven classic cars from eye-popping 550-acre Minnesota barn find

This man spent seven years trying to recover a car collection from a 550-acre barn in Minnesota – and finally recovered the incredible barn find.

It took him years, and presumably a lot of patience, but he finally managed it.

Loading up the cars in the trailers also took a while.

But it was all worth it when you look at the value of the cars that were saved.

A seven-year hunt in Minnesota

YouTuber Dennis Collins spent seven years trying to work out the details about this barn find.

After confirming the cars were indeed there, and they were indeed savable, he traveled to Becker, Minnesota in the US, with his crew and some trailers.

All in all, it took them 10 hours to dig out the cars and load them up.

Classics found in barn find

The collection comprises five cars, including two from a brand everyone knows, two from a brand some people might know, and one that most people won’t.

Let’s start with the first two, a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 190 SL and a 1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible.

The 190 SL is not that common in the US, but the Impala certainly is.

But even though the Impala is the protagonist of barn finds on a weekly basis, it still makes headlines every time.

Not long ago, a 1966 Impala became one of the best barn finds ever when it was recovered, in relatively good condition, in Indiana.

Then there’s the curious case of the collector/hoarder who’ll give away a free Impala to people who’ll build his driveway.

Moving on, we’ve got a 1963 Austin-Healey BJ7 and a 1956 Triumph TR3.

Both cars would be considered rare in the UK, but they’re unicorns in the US.

Lastly, we have a 1937 Diamond T Deluxe.

The Diamond T is an iconic truck from the 1930s that looks like it came out of a Western movie.

This vehicle alone was probably worth the seven-year wait.
