In 2023, a barn find discovery was revealed, echoing the dreams of classic car enthusiasts worldwide. This historic barn unveiled over 20 classic cars, all of which were steeped in history and automotive heritage. 

The car collection was stored in a small barn in Alabama for over 50 years and owned by local businessman and avid car collector, Earl Trammel.

This treasure trove of vintage vehicles has long been hidden from the public eye and includes a 1990 Corvette ZR1 with a mere 25 miles and a 1976 Corvette Stingray Coupe with only 103 miles. 

Absolutely bananas.
