When Silas, the host of the YouTube channel Adventures Made From Scratch, purchased an abandoned farm in the United States, he did not expect to uncover a treasure trove of classic cars scattered across the property. As he began cleaning the land, he stumbled upon a vast collection of vehicles that had been left to age outdoors for decades. The discovery offered a rare and unfiltered glimpse into forgotten automotive history, far from the polished showrooms where collectors usually find such cars.
A Glimpse Into Automotive Past Left to Time
The farm, whose exact location has not been publicly disclosed, was littered with what Silas described as “incomplete” cars, many missing doors, wheels, or other essential parts. Among the assortment, Chevys dominated the collection, but there were also numerous Fords, Buicks, and Dodges.
These cars had been exposed to the elements for so long that their condition varied widely, with some vehicles suffering significant rust and wear, while others showed signs that restoration might be feasible.
“This has been here my whole life and then some, and I’m 31,” Silas remarked, underscoring the long-standing nature of this abandonment. The sight of these vehicles, left untouched in their rural resting place, carries a sense of authenticity and history rarely found in the world of classic car collecting.
Preservation Over Destruction
Despite the extent of neglect, Silas made clear that the goal was not to scrap the cars. “We’re not going to come in and crush a lot of this, I wouldn’t feel right,” he said. “We’re going to save a lot of the stuff. We’re not going to crush these old cars.” The effort required to bring many of the cars back to life would be substantial, but the value they represent as classic automobiles motivated the desire for preservation.
The farm’s collection likely numbers in the dozens, making it one of the more extensive finds of its kind in the United States. The vehicles stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era, waiting for new caretakers to revive their legacy.
Capturing the Discovery on Video
For those interested in a detailed look at the farm and its classic car collection, Silas documents his exploration on the Adventures Made From Scratch YouTube channel. His videos offer viewers a firsthand view of the vehicles and the property, highlighting the unique atmosphere of abandoned farmland and the stories held within its rusting relics.
This discovery adds to a growing list of abandoned car collections found on farms, showing how automotive history can sometimes be preserved in the most unexpected places.
