More than 600 classic cars have been discovered inside a forgotten Montana car barn, including a 1960 Chevy El Camino that’s ready for new life.

The collection is one of the biggest we’ve seen in years.

It’s packed with everything from rare ’59 Chevys to big-block Camaros and fire trucks.

And now, it’s all going under the hammer. Every vehicle. With no reserve.

Inside the Montana car barn: a 1960 Chevy El Camino and more

The cars belong to the Willie Shields Collection, and it’s hitting the auction block in Billings, Montana.

Rows of classic Chevys from the late ‘50s and early ‘60s – including bubble tops, flat tops, and wagons.

One of the highlights is a 1960 Chevy el Camino, sitting unrestored and full of potential.

There’s also a 1960 Impala convertible, a ’63 Impala, and a 409-powered Chevelle tucked among the fleet.

The muscle keeps coming – Oldsmobile 442s, Camaros, Novas, Monte Carlos and more.

And it’s not just cars, there are trucks, too, including a 1942 Chevy fire truck, a 1946 White COE, and a full Napco 4×4 plow truck.

The barn bears striking similarities to the UK’s hauntingly impressive car graveyard, harboring forgotten Cadillacs among a sea of old-school muscle.

The whole barn frozen in time, just begging for a jumpstart.

This isn’t just an auction – it’s a once-in-a-generation find

This Montana car barn is stacked wall-to-wall with Americana.

Some of the cars haven’t seen daylight in decades, and while a lot of them need work, the bones are solid.

There are also crates of parts, memorabilia, and even vintage Plymouth clocks thrown into the mix.

Everything will be sold as-is, and it’s all up for grabs.

The El Camino is just one of hundreds of classic machines pulled from the shadows of this Montana barn.

Most people never get the chance to see a collection like this, let alone buy from it.

Now they can, and so could you.
