Finding that special car hiding in a warehouse is the dream of many auto enthusiasts that few can experience. Finding multiple iconic vehicles in one place is incredibly rare, perhaps even rarer than the cars revealed in this incredible warehouse find video.
Epic is a term often overused, but with a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T convertible sitting next to a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, we’d say it’s entirely appropriate in this case. An old car show sign was found for the Mustang, stating it was a real car with 35,000 miles. We’re not treated to anything so obvious for the Challenger, but the grille design with the R/T badge seems consistent with the 1970 model year.
Videographers don’t understand the importance of these two muscle cars, and that’s okay. Being an expert in all things automotive is not a prerequisite for appreciating cool cars, but to offer some context, the Boss 429 Mustangs from 1969 and 1970 are considered by many to be the most sought-after ‘Stangs’ of all. Only the 859 was built in 1969, and as for the Challenger R/T convertible, only the 963 was built for 1970.
We can’t see what engine is under the hood of our Challenger consider those weren’t real Hemi cars as only a handful existed. Then again, parked next to the 429 Boss which was Ford’s answer to the 426 Hemi V8. We could see over $1 million worth of classic muscle just from these two cars.
They weren’t alone in the shed either. A shaker-bonnet Ford Torino Cobra jet tucked into a corner, parked next to a first-generation Pontiac GTO. There are a few early 1970s Mustangs strewn about, with what looks like a partially disassembled 1965 Fastback Mustang by the door. And these are just some of the cars inside, no matter what’s outside.
Exposed to the elements, the video shows more Mustangs, other Torinos, Plymouths, Pontiacs, and even an old Kawasaki Ninja sportbike. There are lots of junk cars, spare parts left over, and according to the video description, all belonging to one person who apparently hasn’t touched it in about 30 years. Whether that change is imminent is unknown, but for now, some of the rarest and most prized cars of the classic muscle car era continue to collect dust, awaiting a rebirth that may never come.
