That house was cool as hell at one time.

[@kevinbrucestevens7747]

Kind of sad to see...

[@sparenothing1487]

I have seen some incredible finds but I gotta say this is by far with the cars and rare parts one of the best real barn-house finds ever! Truly incredible

Thats nuts! I've watched all your videos 👌😎 greetings from portugal✌️

This is what happens when dudes do not sell their cars before they die...

[@GNaron]

It looks like the house was built just for the cars and parts!!! It's crazy how life goes and ends. The guy really cared about those cars. I would like to see a video on the property and the story, I bet it is a interesting one.

[@chevelle-pi1bn]

I agree those cars had there own garage - home somebody at one time really loved that stuff .

[@noneed4me2n7]

Yes, really want to know about where all the parts were scored. Some might be one offs or experimental stuff. Can’t believe how cheap some of that stuff was let go for way back. So much history in that place it’s ridiculous.

[@CHEGTO]

That's great for you dude but I'm pissed I moved to Georgia as a teenager and worked for my uncle on places like this all we found was crackhead heroin poo and trash never any dope ass cars

[@mikeh.748]

What a crazy find. A Shelby, another 65 Mstang, and a Grand National sitting there growing moss with a chunk missing out of the front end. That house was a nation disaster area. Nice little parts stash. Very nice and fortunate find. Enjoy reaping the rewards from this one.

[@RDMash]

Lol, more like $400K just like it sats, and that's just the car, no parts. Seriously a 65 350 is in a class all it's own, even over it's Brethren the 66 350. A 65 350 just sold for north of $1.3M not long ago. The restoration done by a Renowned 65 350 expert using only original parts when possible, then use NOS when original wasn't available.

Or at least push the Grand National in the garage, if she'll fit!!

[@gurneyforpresident2836]

I'm a Ford/Shelby guy and this is by far the best it can get regarding barn type finds. On the other hand there must be an extremely sad story of why it was abandoned like this. Would be indeed interesting and probably a tear jerker.

[@dylanmccallister1888]

My dream car is actually the 289 hipo in the basement And it’s sitting in a real 65 gt350 when I was 8 that made me fall in love with these cars in the first place. But my neighbor/teacher later in high school had a burgundy red 66 fastback gt with the rally lights in the grill and white Mustang stripe along the bottom He had added the air scoops from a Shelby to the car. It was a badass Mustang

That one single 4 barrel intake with two water necks is a rare factory Trans Am 1970 Boss 302 intake! The 302 tunnel port heads were run in 68 right before the Boss 302. Spare Boss blocks, sounds like he had a Boss 302 also. I guarantee you this guy died suddenly or was sick and died with no family at all. This house has been through before this guy got here, the damn Grand National and 5.0 vert are worth good dollar amount also!!

Unfortunately most of these situations end with the family coming in, bringing a huge dumpster and throwing everything away. They just see the money the real estate is worth. The cars & parts are trash to them when they are likely worth MORE than the real estate.
