This YouTuber paid a visit to an old warehouse and found it was ‘better than a barn find’.

Barn finds are gold mines when it comes to uncovering classic cars, but they may have some stiff competition from warehouses.

Ryan Brutt, the Auto Archaeologist, visited a storage facility which was stacked with big car brands.

These were some seriously amazing finds.

Inside the remarkable warehouse collection

Oftentimes, barn finds can have cars at varying stages of decay.

Sometimes the cars are playing host to animals – like mice – or are just completely rusted over, like this 1970 Dodge Challenger.

Whilst it’d be a stretch to say these cars are kept in a pristine condition, there’s at least an order to things here.

Hundreds of muscle cars are kept in this building, including a 1970 Plymouth Cuda with a six-pack BS23V engine.

Its hood isn’t the original and there’s some rust creeping in, but it’s totally salvageable.

The majority of the warehouse is made of spare parts, including engines, fenders, radiators, starters and brakes.

For a petrolhead who likes trying their hand at mechanics, this is the place to be.

What other cars were featured alongside the Cuda?

In addition to the spare parts, a few other cars made appearances in the video.

These included a 1971 triple black Cuda convertible, a lime green Challenger convertible and some 6-pack Challengers.

There’s a ton of stuff to work with here, and a lot of potential for some wonderful makeovers.

Speaking of amazing warehouses, this London building has 175 vintage vehicles with a whole lot of dust.

The only thing all these cars had in common was their age – they were at least 40 or 50 years old.
