The cars were found in an empty field, and while many show signs of age, some are nearly ready to be driven off the lot.
Classic models from the pre-war era, the 1950s, and the 1970s will all be available for purchase.
Some, like a beige Dodge Dart and a black Dodge convertible can start right up when you turn the key.
Others, like a red Plymouth Barracuda, need some work, but are still in decent shape.
The cars are part of the Sagaser collection, which will be auctioned by VanDerBrink Auctions on June 7 in Epping, North Dakota, approximately 200 miles from Bismarck.
Paul Sagaser, a geologist, began his collection years ago while traveling for work across North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming.
He found old American cars during his trips and brought them home.
Over the years, he amassed a huge lineup of project cars that he never had the chance to restore.
Sagaser passed away in a motorcycle accident in 2018, and now his family has decided to auction off the collection.
The auction will include saloons, wagons, and pickup trucks.
Many of the vehicles are covered in rust and missing parts.
However, for car enthusiasts, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of automotive history.
VanDerBrink has not released a complete list of the cars, but bidders can expect to see a wide variety of classic vehicles from the golden age of American car manufacturing.

Abandoned high-end cars aren’t as rare as some might think.
In many cases, they are left behind due to financial troubles, unpaid taxes, or legal complications tied to ownership.
Some end up rusting away on roadsides, while others are towed off and forgotten in junkyards.
But claiming an abandoned vehicle isn’t as simple as towing it away; legal steps must be followed.
