This Montana car graveyard is full of forgotten classics from the post-war era.
The Treasure State indeed lived up to its nickname when it came to this property.
It has been growing in the mountains for over 50 years and is home to thousands of classic cars.
YouTuber Lambvinskis Garage undertook a 10 hour drive from Washington to take a look for himself.

A deep dive into this Montana car graveyard
Not a ton is known about the graveyard’s location and owners.
The host of Lambvinskis Garage told his subscribers: “I’m going to say this now, they don’t really want us telling you who they are because they don’t want to be on the phone all the time.
“If you guys just want parts send me an email then I can get you in touch with them.”
As far as car graveyards go, the vehicles in this lot aren’t looking too shabby.
Admittedly, some other car graveyards are in real bad shape, like this one in Sweden where trees have grown up through the cars.
The cars’ quality can be credited to Montana’s dry climate.
Among the assembled vehicles are Cadillacs, Rolls-Royces, Fords, Dodges, and Plymouths.
Hundreds of school buses have also joined the collection over the years.
There’s a ton to choose from – and this YouTuber found one he wanted to take home.
Which car did he purchase?
Ultimately, he opted for a 1966 Dodge D100.
With some patches of rust appearing, it’s showing its age but is othewise in fine shape.
It has a 318 Poly Engine and a four-speed gearbox.
Whilst its renowned for its ranchers on horseback, Montana is also a great state for car lovers.
Montana Treasure Island, located near the town of Belt, is host to tons of cars from the post-war era.
That’s not even going into the countless barn finds littered throughout the vast state.
There was this 1963 Chevrolet Nova SS which was found rotting in a field.
