A YouTube creator regularly shares auto content as they use their channel on the video platform to showcase "the joy of driving."

The user behind the car-based account Hagerty (@Hagerty) titled a recent post, "JACKPOT: 90,000sqft of Barn Find Heaven - Muscle Cars, Trucks, & more | Barn Find Hunter."

"90,000 square feet or six barns full of dusty, rusty, forgotten treasures from decades of collecting," the creator stated in the clip's description.

"To name a few, GTOs, Caprices, Firebirds, Blazers, Suburban, Trucks, Jeeps, Broncos, and some pre-war cars. Everything is for sale and everything must go."

The owner of the barn, James Harky, said he bought the land the farm is on in the 70s.

He then started collecting cars over the past two decades.

"All this stuff we're going to look at, I've been collecting over the last 15 to 20 years," he said.

"That's the story of the cars and now you know my wife died last year.

"And I need to get rid of this stuff. I mean I live here by myself and I can't keep this stuff."

In the barn, Harky had a Porche, a Chevrolet Camaro and Caprice, and even a Pontiac GTO.

"If you're a car enthusiast and you have 60 acres and six barns," he said.

"This is what it looks like."

The barn owner shared where his love for muscle cars started.

"It started with Broncos," Harky said.

"And then it went to scout and you know Blazers and Toyota FJs."

Now, he has some rare cars on his hands.

"This is a rare car - this is a Pontiac Firebird," he stated.

"You think about Firebirds having you know an eagle on the hood and all that stuff, you know, Firebird on the hood decal but they also made an overhead cam six-cylinder and this is one of them."

The video of the auto enthusiast showing off all the muscle cars in his huge barn has been viewed nearly 800,000 times.

"Nice guy with nicer prices," a viewer commented.

"He’s a breath of fresh air after countless videos of pie-in-the-sky dreamers."

"I love the fact that this gentleman is living with these cars, I’d do the same thing," someone else added.

"A real passion. I can completely relate. Condolences for your wife."
