Surely every family has at least some old, long-time items thrown away somewhere that sometimes I myself do not remember well. But a car that has been left in a chicken coop for 32 years is probably a rare thing.

Thinking that it could only be brought out as waste, sold in ruins, but somehow, it was that old dilapidated car that brought a huge fortune.

The 32-year-old dilapidated car sits in the chicken coop

According to Caradvice, not long ago, an old Ford Falcon was found in a chicken coop in rural Queensland, Australia. The car was covered in dust, the inside was filled with garbage, rats and insects. According to research, the owner of this car bought it in 1973 to use as his wedding car.

But after 15 years of use, each repair was so expensive that the owner of the car moved it to the chicken coop until now. After 32 years of lying dormant in dirt, the family decided to sell it at auction.

The unexpected “turning point” when the abandoned car was bought for $ 160,000

The rules of this auction are that each bidder has a maximum of 10 minutes to make an offer to the opponent. And the starting price of this “chicken coop” car is only 9 USD , but only 10 minutes later someone paid it 160,000 USD. And the number was continuously added, at the end of the auction, this old car was sold for 300,909 USD.

According to automotive experts, this old car is the Ford Falcon XA GT RPO 83 series first produced in 1973, it is considered even rarer than the mighty Ford Falcon GT of the 1970s. In the 73s, this car was sold for $ 7,000 and it is a limited edition with only 250 units worldwide.

And now it’s been purchased for $300,909.

Perhaps even the owner of the car could not have expected that the “wreckage” inside his family’s old barn for the past 32 years is now such a huge fortune.

And this old car is only really valuable to those who are knowledgeable about it. After being known by the media and many people, this car was given the name Chicken Coupe to commemorate the special “story” about it.
