Forgotten Mansion Garage Hides Rare Cadillac and Muscle Cars in Pristine Condition

A 1946 Cadillac Series 62 and two muscle cars found intact in seemingly abandoned home garage.
Tucked away behind the weathered walls of a long-neglected mansion lies a time capsule of Detroit iron: three classic cars, seemingly untouched for years but in surprisingly solid condition. The discovery was recently documented by YouTuber “RangerRickTV,” who toured the quiet property and stumbled across an unexpected automotive trio.
According to the video, the home was once owned by an elderly couple whose children moved away years ago. Since their passing, the estate has reportedly remained unsettled and virtually undisturbed — including its garage.
The first vehicle spotted was a 1959 Ford Thunderbird, identifiable by its distinct grille and trim, and likely powered by a 352ci V8. Though not particularly rare, its preservation status as an unrestored survivor gives it potential value among collectors.
But the real surprises lay in a second garage, where a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 and a Cadillac Series 62 coupe from the 1940s were tucked away. The Chevelle, though badged as an SS 396, reportedly houses a swapped 454ci engine — a hot-rodded remnant of its former self. The last known listing for the car dates back more than a decade.
Most eye-catching, however, is the vintage Cadillac, believed to be either a 1946 or 1947 model. Finished in what appears to be Seine Blue Iridescent, the postwar coupe still shines with elegance. Though its restoration history is unclear, its condition is remarkable. With production numbers in the low thousands, and values often exceeding $55,000 at auction, this may be the crown jewel of the forgotten collection.
While the property isn’t technically abandoned, the cars remain in limbo. For now, they sit in quiet seclusion, relics of a bygone era — waiting for someone to bring them back to life.
