A lotto winner’s hoard…
The 1980s were a time almost solely dedicated to the puppy-love fest and drug fueled flamboyance that we all know, love, and seen on countless music videos. All of their cars were sharp and eye-catching, everything was about having fun, and there was always a party to attend.

First of all, there are a lot of Ford fox body Mustangs in this collection. It’s actually quite impressive how many of these cars the owner managed to find. Most of those cars have been pretty ridden over the years now but there is one Ford that retains its good looks well kept despite having sat for God only knows how many years. That vehicle is what appears to be a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500, and a convertible at that. Overall, the owner of these vehicles clearly had some pretty great taste.

Nowadays, the cars are in serious need of restoration and who knows, maybe somebody will get these vehicles back on the road again someday. Until then, we’ll just have to wait to find out.
