A Reddit user shared an incredible story about finding a Lamborghini and Ferrari collecting dust in his grandma’s garage in the U.S. for over 20 years.
The post, shared a few years ago, featured a photo of the two iconic cars, both forgotten and covered in dust.
The Lamborghini – a 1981 Countach – and a red Ferrari 308 were once part of his late grandpa’s exotic car rental business.
However, sadly, due to high insurance costs, the business shut down, and instead of selling the cars, his grandpa stored them away in leaky garages.

Lamborghini and Ferrari found in garage
When the guy saw the cars for the first time in years, he described it as a surreal experience, saying: “Pulling the cover off made me feel like an archaeologist.”
Despite the years of neglect, he was still in amazement at the Lamborghini, calling it ‘the coolest’ even with all the dust and rust.
He also noted that there were other interesting vehicles in the garage, like an MG T-series and possibly even a rare 300 SL Gullwing.
The cars were in decent condition
Pointing out the condition of the car, a user commented: “There should be a Child Protective Services you can call for cars. I’d adopt that baby and put some blood, sweat, and tears into making it a new good life.”
To this, the Redditor commented: “I totally agree, this kind of car abuse hurts my soul. But it’s also kind of incredible and rare to see something so beautiful (and valuable) in this condition.”
He further added: “If it were up to me, I’d get it running again and clean up the interior but keep the exterior close to as is.
“It has character and tells the story of the car which sets it apart from any other Countach around.”
“I can honestly appreciate that more than a perfect paint job.”
While the Lamborghini Countach is rare, with just 321 units of the 500S model ever built, the Ferrari 308 was more common, with over 12,000 units produced across all its variants.
However, both supercars remain historical surprises.
