While here in the US we have barn-find Corvettes and muscle cars, in places like Australia they have Nissan Skyline GT-Rs that have been stored and forgotten. A YouTuber recently told the story of how he came across a beautiful but very dusty R33 stuck in a stable on a rural property, among other interesting rides.

At the time, the man said he owned a mobile car detailer as well as a growing car rental business. He went to a farm to check out a single taxi, believing it would be a good ride to add to his small rental fleet.
While looking at that vehicle, he started talking to the owner about what he does and his interest in cars. Then the man opened up and said he had several others stashed in a shed. Once he saw those telltale four round taillights, he had to take a look at the R33 that had just been rotting.
But he definitely expected it to be a GT-S or another Skyline model, and certainly not a GT-R. Who would do something like that to Godzilla?
The owner casually told the YouTuber that it was in fact a GT-R, which blew him away. When he asked if the owner was interested in selling, the man admitted that he had decided to part ways with them the night before.
In other words, the YouTuber was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. This is why if you fantasize about getting some crazy barn find, you should not only keep your ear to the ground and talk to people, but also set aside money so that you can buy a solid find when you get it. encounters. After all, no bank is going to finance your purchase.
The YouTuber realized how lucky he was after making an offer that the owner accepted, saying he felt like he had “won the lotto.” In a way he did, as the R33 GT-R has been nicely refurbished and has some great features like NISMO wheels and HKS turbos.
Can you imagine finding something like this?
