Barn full of 23 now-classic cars up for auction, many with virtually no miles on the odometer

An impressive collection of over 20 cars built between 1956 and 2010 is scheduled to cross the auction block in early 2024. Tucked away in a barn in Birmingham, Alabama, the fleet includes several low-mileage — really, no-mileage — American classics, including 10 examples of the Chevrolet Corvette.

GiveMeTheVIN, the online marketplace organizing the sale, writes that the collection belonged to man named Earl Trammel. He owned several businesses on the south side of Birmingham, and he reportedly considered his hoard of classics an investment; GiveMeTheVIN says he distrusted Wall Street and the banking system. His ex-wife sold the collection to the auctioneer after his death in 2022.

Trammel clearly had a penchant for General Motors classics with relatively low mileage. Of the 23 cars looking for a new home, 15 were built by Chevrolet including a 1990 454 SS pickup with merely 19 miles, a 25-mile 1988 Corvette 35th Anniversary Edition, a desirable 1990 Corvette ZR1 whose odometer also displays 25 miles, and a 1971 Corvette Stingray that has covered 103 miles. If you want an older Chevy, there's a 1956 210 sedan with about 64,000 miles. If you prefer a Camaro, you can bid on a 1968 393 SS or a 47-mile 2010 model.
