‘One-in-a-million’ barn find includes Corvettes with under 100 miles on clock

A man uncovered an incredible ‘one-in-a-million’ barn find of more than 20 vehicles, including Corvettes, a Porsche, and a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible. 

Even more incredibly, six of the cars have less than 100 miles on the clock, with a 1990 Chevrolet 454 SS having done just 19 miles and a 1988 35th Anniversary Corvette sitting on only 25 miles. 

John Clay Wolfe, CEO and founder of GiveMeTheVin, hailed it as the ‘biggest find’ of his career.

The barn find included several low-milage Corvettes

The complete collection was shared by Wolfe on his YouTube channel.

It includes a 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 with only 25 miles under its belt that is valued at over a million dollars.

Wolfe explained: “It was in a tiny little barn in Alabama that looked ridiculous like you’d never expect there were a million dollars worth of cars in there. 

Chances are that washing them was pretty satisfying, like the satisfyingly ASMR moment the ‘rarest’ Mercedes got its first wash after being in a basement for 60 years.

“I don’t know what to do. I know they’re not going down in value, so we’re good there. I may be like the crazy guy that bought them.

“I may die and the next time you hear about them is when I die and people come to scoop them out of my barn. I’m very happy to have them and this is by far the biggest find of my career.”

The collection, which has 10 Corvettes, was amassed across many decades by Alabama businessman, Earl Trammel, who sadly passed away in 2022. 

If you’re a fan of Corvettes, this 1962 Chevy Corvette looks as good as new but comes with a twist.

Following Trammel’s death, the collection ended up with his ex-wife who called in Wolfe. 

In a press release, Wolfe said: “This is a one-in-a-million barn find. 

“I buy and sell more than fifty thousand vehicles a year and hold the world record for selling 1,500 cars in one day but I’ve never accomplished anything like this.

“The diversity of the collection – from the brand new ZR1 to the limited edition 35th Anniversary Corvette that still has the plastic on the interior – is sure to make car junkies salivate when these classics go on display in a few months.”
