A YouTube channel specializing in barn finds uncovered a warehouse packed with rare Ford and Shelby Mustangs.
Some of these cars are in good condition, and some aren’t.
But what they all have in common is they’re quite rare and potentially very valuable.

This particular barn find, or ‘warehouse find’ to be more accurate, pretty much only includes Mustangs.
But the people from the Adventures Made From Scratch YouTube channel probably aren’t going to complain, because these Mustangs are all unique.
A collection of rare Mustangs
The warehouse is home to a long list of Mustangs that collectors adore, some made by Ford but most made by Shelby.
Among others, they found a 1968 convertible Shelby GT350 and a Sportsroof Shelby GT350.
Only 937 of those were ever made.
Then there’s also a 1967 Shelby GT500, which is the one that people often use to create replicas of the famous ‘Eleanor’ from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds.
They also found a Mach 1 Cobra Jet and a 1969 Boss 302, an SCCA Trans-Am homologation special.
Some people are building careers with barn finds
In the past, a barn find – by definition – used to be something people ‘found’ usually by pure chance.
These days, barn finds are something people are actively looking for.
There are entire YouTube channels – some of them with a load of subscribers – dedicated to the discovery of great cars abandoned in barns or warehouses.
The Bearded Explorer – to name just one – has discovered a barn filled with cars worth millions on two occasions in the last few months alone.
Sometimes they get tipped off, and sometimes they just randomly happen upon these collections.
But either way, seeing these valuable cars rot away is always heart-breaking, isn’t it?
Let’s hope someone comes along to show them some TLC.
