A CAR enthusiast stumbled upon a massive car graveyard in the middle of an abandoned lot.
Among the vintage cars was an Impala and Pontiac that had been left untouched in the lot for over 30 years.

YouTuber Ethan Minnie described some of the incredible auto finds in a public video that has amassed over 175,000 views.
Minnie titled the video, “Lotto Winner’s Classic Car Collection Left ABANDONED In The Middle Of Nowhere For Over 30 Years.”
“I’m so excited as a big car guy myself, I’m so excited to show you guys this place,” he said.
He pointed the camera at his surroundings, which appeared to be a vast lot of abandoned land that had been overgrown with vegetation.
The first car he brought viewers to was a bright red Ford truck from the 1980s that unfortunately had its windshield smashed in.
He then walked around to the back of the pickup truck and quickly identified the vintage car as a Ford Explorer.
The YouTuber identified another old Ford Explorer, in the same area, with a broken windshield that he estimated to be from the 1980s.
Minnie also stumbled on a white Pontiac Parisienne — a vehicle sold by Pontiac in Canada from 1958 to 1986 and in the United States from 1983 to 1986.
The license plate confirmed that the vintage car was registered in Ontario, Canada.
“That’s about a ’65 or ’66 Parisienne and its just been buried for years, decades,” he said.
“That’s insane.”
After roaming past some old tractors, the YouTuber panned to a Hyundai Pony, which had been lost underneath dried-up leaves, with old newspapers and a beer can inside.
He opened the door to the Pony pickup and confirmed that the vehicle was built 38 years ago.
Then, Minnie walked over to a shed where a couple of vehicles were parked and immediately pointed at a car which he said was a ’63 Chevrolet Impala.
The largest car graveyard is in the US
Junkyards filled to the brim with old cars are all over the US.
However, some are bigger than others. The largest in the world is in Georgia called Old Car City.
Sitting on 34 acres, the site is home to over 4,000 classic cars, vans, trucks, and buses from America and Europe.
The yard is more than just rusted cars, though. The main building has another time capsule for the early 20th century and beyond, with vintage toys and other automotive memorabilia collections.
The property has since become a museum where people can peruse the symbols of a treasured American era for $34. Weddings, parties, and corporate events can be held there, too.

“My grandpa had a ’62 Impala,” he said to the viewers. “He bought it when I was 4 and sold it around 5 years ago.”
“It was beautiful. We took it to car shows, won awards with it and everything,” he said.
Despite the rotting floor, Minnie marveled at the Impala’s interior.
“It’s been here for a very long time, but look at that old steering wheel,” he said. “That’s beautiful.”
He also asked his viewers if they could identify any information about the Chevy’s specifications or details based on the video.
Parked right next to the Chevy Impala, Minnie found a beaten-up Camaro from 1983.
Minnie emphasized how nostalgic these cars were for him and many other car collectors.
Another lottery winner from 1985 left behind a bunch of classic cars, including rare Mustang and Camaro models.
Vintage car enthusiasts were relieved after learning that 25-year-old cars are exempt from President Trump’s tariffs on auto imports.
