This muscle car barn find has uncovered more Mopars than you’ve ever seen before.

YouTube channel Hauntworld paid a visit to the ‘Holy Grail’ of barn finds, which was home to more than 100 Mopar muscle cars.

There are more Mopars than you could shake a gear stick at – Hemi Challengers, Hemi Chargers, Superbirds and much more.

When we say this has to be seen to be believed, we really mean it.

A look inside the ‘Holy Grail of barn finds

This particular barn find was uncovered in the ‘middle of Missouri’.

The owner of the lot recovered them from a junkyard which was closing down.

Given that most of them were headed for the shredder, he saved them from being wiped out

It would be easy to think that barn finds are a dime a dozen nowadays, but this collection is particularly special.

These cars are from the golden era of muscle cars – considered to be between the 1960s and 1970s.

At this time, high-performance cars – much like space rockets – had a firm grip on the public’s attention.

The cars in this Missouri property aren’t in the best condition, but their value still shines through.

Some of them are exceedingly rare – like this 1968 Dodge Coronet Hemi Convertible, one of only nine to be built.

Elsehwere, there’s a Plymouth Road Runner and a Plymouth Superbird.

The Superbird is a highly modified version of the Road Runner, and pays homage to its predecessor with a graphic sticker of the cartoon character of the same name.

That’s present here, even though the rest of the car is covered by a sheet.

Whether or not it has a signature from a certain race car driver, we’re doubtful of – unlike this 1970 Superbird found at a car show.

More than Mopars – tons and tons of car parts

In addition to more than one hundred cars, there were tens of thousands of Dodge and Plymouth parts.

There was everything from fenders to Hemi motors.

It was like a giant car jigsaw waiting to be put back together.

Given that these cars had been sitting around for between 30 and 40 years, the odds of them getting made over anytime soon is unlikely.

But hopefully one day, they will be restored to their former glory.

In terms of size and scope however, this barn find can not compare to what has been called the greatest of all time – a few thousand miles away in Tacoma, Washington.
