In our fantasies, barn finds include a few vehicles under a layer of dust that need nearly no work to get back into showroom quality.
The reason that these vehicles are so clean appears to be that the man behind the collection, Earl Trammel, wasn’t simply a hoarder.“These cars started accumulating through Earl Trammel’s love for cars,” said John Hollander, Trammel’s brother-in-law. “He was a car and body man for over 60–70 years. He was in business in two separate shops in Birmingham and started collecting cars at an early age.”
Sadly, Trammel passed away in 2022, leaving the collection to his ex-wife, Patricia. It was her brother who finally convinced her to sell the collection so that they could get into the hands of people who would love and treasure them. She turned to Wolfe, who bought the whole collection and plans to “This is a one-in-a-million barn find,” said Wolfe. “I buy and sell more than fifty thousand vehicles a year and hold the world record for selling 1,500 cars in one day but I’ve never accomplished anything like this. The diversity of the collection – from the brand new ZR1 to the limited edition 35th Anniversary Corvette that still has the plastic on the interior – is sure to make car junkies salivate when these classics go on display in a few months.
