Astonishing, two questions though. Who is "he" and why don't they turn the lights on?

I don’t get it.... they are all sitting there rotting? She mentions they “worked on” or “we restored” on some of them. There hasn’t been any work in that place in decades. They way they are packed in there... you can’t even get to move one car without moving 20 or 30 cars first.
Amazing collection, but at some point he went from a car collector to a car hoarder!

I personally wouldn't call it a "barn find" by the implied meaning "barn find". There was at least a couple relatively new cars in there.

Pretty awesome. I don’t care how much money you have, I never understood collecting cars to look at. You have to drive them some to keep them from rotting from the inside out

That, and it is a known collection. It wasn't just "found"


She also says they are all for sale, but goes on to say he's gonna finish that one, he wants to race that one, this is one of his favorites etc.

That was my thinking as well. Hoarders are not usually thinking value or what to do with the things they collect. They just have a compulsion to collect. But this guy is also selling many of the cars in this collection, so it kind of eliminates the "hoarder" label IMO. He just seems to be a HUGE collector who prefers to stick everything away in a dark warehouse. LOL.

That is one heck of a collection of old metal. Mind boggling!

Here's one of his cars being detailed.

yeah, I watched this one when he posted it. I liked it a lot more than a 30 minute tour of the place. Needs to be some sort of balance in the video. But anyway, there is a lot of money in that warehouse. Just because the cars have been sitting doesn't change that.

Yeah, the owner doesn't want to be identified. And he also didn't want the warehouse location identified. He's got to be filthy rich! That is 1 warehouse of 3 that he owns. There is well over $10M in that one warehouse. Wonder how many cars in the other 2 warehouses?
