Man discovers incredible Texas barn find of more than 300 muscle cars

A YouTuber discovered an incredible collection of more than 300 classic cars in a cow barn in the US state of Texas. 

The pitch-black quarter-of-a-mile barn was jam-packed with classic motors that had been left parked for years. 

The barn, which was explored by Jason from the Southern Bush Motorsports YouTube channel, had cars taking up every available inch of space. 

He spent a full two days exploring the barn and trying to document and identify the various cars crammed inside.

The old cow barn was jam-packed with vehicles

While any barn find is a pretty cool thing, there’s something extra special about discovering an old-forgotten collection – such as this 230-vehicle haul stashed away in an old church or this incredible classic car pile that included a Porsche, a Lotus, a Rolls-Royce, a Maserati, and a Ferrari. 

Meanwhile, this treasure trove in Texas was part of a salvage yard, which goes some way to explain why it was home to so many old cars. 

According to Jason, the late owner of the yard, would occasionally keep vehicles if their owners refused to pay towing fees.

Over the years this all added up to a whopper of a collection. 

Jason first got wind of the barn when he was working out in Texas in around 2003, and said he initially assumed it would be a smallish collection of around 10 to 20 cars. 

But when he arrived at the barn, the owner’s daughter informed Jason there was actually 302 cars stashed away. 

They were so tightly packed in that Jason had to kick off his shoes and clamber over the cars in his socks. 

None of the cars turned out to be particularly rare

It was a slow process for Jason, who spent a couple of days in the dark barn painstakingly checking out each and every motor. 

Jason soon noted that there weren’t any particularly rare or valuable cars in the collection, but there were still a few cool hidden gems. 

There were several C3 Chevy Corvettes, a 1964 Chevy Impala SS, several Chevy Chevelles, a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner, a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass, and a Ford Mustang Mach 1. 

The owner was hoping to sell the whole collection for around $1 million – but after taking a look around Jason valued the lot at around $300,000 to $400,00. 

Let’s hope they all ended up in a good home.
