A collection of classic vehicles has been unearthed in a US garage that hasn't been accessed for 27 years and two of the '60s supercars located are worth a combined £2.8 million.


A dust covered Ferrari 275 GTB and 427 Shelby Cobra were discovered in a storage unit beneath an abandoned house in North Carolina that was due to be bulldozed last month.


Collectible car finders running the Barn Find Hunter YouTube channel sourced the untouched beauties though found mice had made themselves at home in the forgotten goldmine of motors.


The cars haven't been touched since 1991 when the owner's mechanic died in that time mice and crickets have made themselves at home.




The Ferrari is the pick of the two and has covered just 13,000 miles in 52 years.

Finished in silver, it features a 3.3-litre V12 engine and in exceptional condition is worth around £2.2 million on today's market.

It's explorer the wicked thread producer on the beat again.

The classic car experts were notified of the whereabouts of the cars after they were found ahead of the demolition of the deserted property where they were being kept.


It was revealed in the show that the cars had all been sat untouched since 1991after the owner's trusted mechanic had passed away and he the locked down garage


The red Cobra is equally as rare and has covered short of 20,000 miles in its lifetime.

The two-seat Shelby was also the only one of the four cars that didn't have seized brakes, making it the easiest to load into a transporter to move to a secured location.


All the vehicles were found to be covered by classic insurance provider Hagerty, which valued the Ferrari and Shelby at almost £3 million.

Since the footage of the find was aired a fortnight ago, the owner has decided to keep the Morgan and Triumph but opted to let the pricier Ferrari and Shelby go to auction on March 9 as part of Gooding & Company's Amelia Island sale.





The engines in both started up straight away, according to the finders, though the exhaust pipes scattered mouse droppings across the floor as the powerful motors kicked into life.

Both cars will be serviced though it will be up to the new owners to recondition them and bring them back to life entirely which ultimately will see their values sky rocket further.
