The Lamborghini Countach, one of only 321 ever produced, was covered in dust and surrounded by years of clutter. Despite its neglected state, the car holds significant value, with estimates suggesting it could be worth around $500,000 once fully restored. Powered by a 4.8-liter V8 engine with a five-speed manual transmission, the Countach was a symbol of Lamborghini's rise to iconic status, boasting a 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 182 mph.
Beside it sat the Ferrari 308 GTS, a car famous for its starring role in the TV show Magnum P.I. While less rare than the Countach, the Ferrari remains a prized classic capable of fetching a good price depending on its restoration quality and condition.
The family’s inability to cover soaring insurance costs led to the cars being stored in leaky garages and left outside rather than being sold off. Over time, these precious vehicles were forgotten under piles of junk and dust, until their rediscovery shared on Reddit by the user ‘eriegin’ sparked widespread interest and fascination on social media and automotive news outlets.
Alongside these two Italian legends, there was also mention of other classic cars linked to the family’s collection, including a late 1930s MG T-Type and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. However, these were not found in the garage at the time of discovery.
The cars have not officially been listed for sale, but the family has expressed an interest in potentially moving them.
