YouTuber found incredible muscle car hoard in Oklahoma including Chevrolet Bel Air

YouTubers and explorers finding a hidden muscle car stash — even something as rare as the Chevy Bel Air — in a barn find is normal, but most of those are just memorabilia and can’t be driven.

This one certainly takes the win because it’s not just a hidden muscle car hoard but also has hidden gems.

What’s more, most of these cars are rare and iconic models from the early 1960s, so you know how serious it is.

To add the cherry on the cake, several of these rides feature a 409 Chevy engine.

Man found the greatest Chevy 409 muscle car collection

For the uninformed, the 409 engine might just sound like any other classic that Chevy used to make.

However, it’s actually quite rare and was extremely popular back in the day.

This 409-cubic-inch (6.7-liter) W-series machine first arrived in the Impala SS in 1960 and instantly became a hit.

Meet Patrick Glenn Nichols, a muscle car enthusiast who often posts videos of him finding rare classics.

In one of those videos, he visited a ‘barn’ in Oklahoma, United States, that was practically a Chevy 409 heaven.

Although the place looks like an old-school garage, Nichols called it a ‘barn’ because the place had no lights.

Seems fair enough.

The video started off with him showing a 1961 Chevy Bel Air, which was one of the most sought-after muscle cars of its time.

It looked like it was in a fairly decent condition, and it actually was.

Underneath a thin layer of dust was its bright factory red paint that was still shining after all those years.

The interior, too, was in excellent shape and would look like new after a thorough cleaning session.

Moreover, this wasn’t the only gem in there with a Chevy 409 big block engine.

As a matter of fact, it wasn’t the only Bel Air either.

Chevy Bel Air and other iconic names

There were two more Chevy Bel Air models in different colors — a 1962 variant and another 1963 model.

Apart from the Bel Air trio, the final 409 engine in the barn was inside a 1964 Biscayne.

These were the only big block cars in there, but other honorable mentions like an Impala, an L78 Camaro SS, and a handful of Chevy pickups were also in great condition.

The only turn-off-factor in barn finds is that most muscle cars don’t pass the test of time and often turn out to be in bad shape.

This Georgia barn collection with over 30 cars is a prime example of just that.

However, exceptions always exist, and Nichols might have landed on a gold mine here.

He also mentioned that the collection’s owner had some more cars stored elsewhere, so this wasn’t the end of it.

It might be the greatest Chevy barn find ever — provided the owner restores some of those or keeps them in a show-worthy condition.
