A multi-million dollar car collection has been saved from the LA wildfires after the owner moved them to a McDonald’s car park.
The pricey assembly was spotted by Jordan, a diesel mechanic, who was driving round his neighbourhood of Calabassas, in California.
He was stunned to see multiple Mercedes, a vintage Shelby and a Ferrari parked below the Golden Aches.

And after the 19-year-old found the owner, he discovered they were there for good reason.
“I was honestly shocked at first,” Jordan told Luxury Auto News.
“The way we entered the parking lot, you could see a vintage Mercedes 180 and a vintage Shelby gt350 – both very rare cars
“Then peaking in I saw a yellow Ferrari, and as we pulled in closer a Mercedes 300sl.
“That alone is worth anywhere from one to seven million dollars.
“And it’s just sitting in a public parking lot.”
The owner told Jordan that the Palisades fire, which now ranks as the second-most destructive fire in Southern California’s history, forced them to move the vehicles quickly.
More than 23,000 acres and 5,000 structures have been destroyed in the Palisades blaze.
The McDonald’s car park is five hours away from the site of the fire.
Jordan shared a video of the collection to TikTok, where it has gathered over 830,000 views so far.
In the clip, Jordan is in the passenger seat of his friend’s car as they drive into the car park.
He then gets out the car and roams around the cars, showing a Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari and Mustang.
He can be heard talking in the background as he explains what each car is.
Jordan captioned the clip: “A 300sl is crazy.”
So far, the post has gained 91,000 likes and 900 comments.

Iris said: “This made me so emotional they lost their homes but they tried to save what they had left. And it’s still at risk.”
Steve wrote: “This is so upsetting there are probably so many that didn’t make it.”
Jordan added: “I kept in touch with the owner and they told me they have since moved the cars from that spot.
“It was so unexpected as in California you see plenty of nice rare and expensive cars that are usually kept away and hidden from the world.
“To see cars like that out in the wild, in a public lot, left there in desperation, was very wild to me.
“I’m happy to know that the cars are safe.”
