In Tennessee, there is a businessman called Don Baskin who has over 1,000 cars in his collection.
Many people dream of having a huge collection of cars, but Baskin, from Memphis, has collected a huge array of cars over the years.
His fleet of cars looks more like a private museum than a car collection, and there are some amazing vehicles on show.
YouTuber 1320Garage managed to get into the collection to take a look and showed viewers just how big the Baskin collection really is.

Don Baskin has over 1,000 cars in his collection
As the video showed us, classic American cars form a large part of this amazing collection of cars.
The collection resides in two buildings, housing the cars across a 270,000 square-foot area.
Muscle cars form a big part of the collection.
Cars like the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Mustang, and Dodge Super Bee are inside the building.
Baskin’s favorite manufacturer, however, is Chevrolet.
There are at least 80 Camaros that belong to Baskin as part of this fleet.
The businessman also owns 20 Chevrolet Novas as well as 20 Chevrolet Corvettes.
One of the Camaros is very special, being the third example built in 1967.
There are also race cars in the giant fleet of vehicles
Road cars form a large part of his fleet, but Baskin also has race cars on show.
He is a racer and owns a track, and has had several famous victories in drag racing.
There is a set of championship-winning cars, mainly from Chevrolet, pulling wheelies as part of the display.
Other interesting cars, however, are part of this giant fleet.
Baskin owns cars from Oldsmobile, Ford, Peterbilt, Volkswagen, Buick, and Dodge, to name just a handful.
Baskin has a lot of love for Dodge, too, hence there are 25 Hellcats in his fleet.
For something a little different, he also owns ten Buick Grand Nationals and various Ford Mustangs.
The video from 1320video of Baskin’s cars is 45 minutes long, and it showcases as many cars as is humanly possible.
Even the most diehard of us gearheads could only dream of owning a collection that big.
