Finding a classic muscle car in a dusty barn is every automotive enthusiast's dream. But finding a rare 1968 Ford Gran Torino GT that has been literally entombed in a fortress of massive wooden railroad ties for nearly half a century? That takes the treasure hunt to an entirely new level.In a recent episode of his popular YouTube series, classic car rescuer Dennis Collins and his crew traveled to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to uncover a bizarre and spectacular piece of automotive history.When they arrived at the property, Collins was greeted by an incredibly strange sight: a massive, stacked structure made entirely of heavy wooden railroad ties, topped with corrugated metal. Squeezed tightly inside the structure, just the white rear bumper of a classic Ford was visible to the outside world.AdvertisementAdvertisement"Well, it has been entombed right….. this is to protect it from all the elements, I imagine," Collins remarked as he surveyed the bizarre makeshift garage.The vehicle's owner, Tazra, explained that the car had been sitting on the property since her family moved there in the late 1980s, but an inspection sticker on the windshield revealed the vehicle hadn't been legally on the road since 1976."So we are fixing to untune a car that has been in there for 48 years. Let's hope for the best," Collins noted before his crew started the grueling process of prying off the metal roof and dismantling the heavy wooden fortress by hand.The S-Code RevealAs the crew slowly peeled away the walls of the tomb, the true prize was revealed: a highly optioned, Wimbledon White 1968 Ford Torino GT Fastback.AdvertisementAdvertisementA quick look at the vehicle's identification tag confirmed Collins' highest hopes. "It's an S code says it's a 390; it's an 8K, so K for Kansas City," he explained, confirming the classic muscle car was originally built with a highly desirable 390 cubic-inch V8 engine.The most shocking revelation of the extraction, however, was the impressive foresight of whoever built the tomb five decades ago. The car had been thoughtfully placed on blocks over a plywood floor, protecting its undercarriage from the harsh Wyoming ground. Incredibly, after half a century of sitting completely dormant, the classic tires took an air charge without blowing out."There's air in the tires. Look at that, Sean. How in the world could it have air in the tires? There's definitely been almost 50 years sitting here," Collins laughed in disbelief.Once the tomb was completely dismantled, the Torino rolled out into the Wyoming sunlight with shocking ease. The steering was completely free, the wheels turned perfectly, and the classic chassis glided right onto the rescue trailer.AdvertisementAdvertisement"This car wants to live again, love it. No fight at all," Collins cheered.While it will certainly need a thorough interior overhaul and a mechanical refresh, Collins assured the previous owner—and his massive audience—that this incredible find is destined for the open road, not a parts catalog. "This car is going to survive; we are not parting it out," he confirmed.
