Deposed Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad has left behind the country and an impressive car collection that could be worth as much as $20-25 million. Fighters broke into the abandoned presidential palace and found Assad’s car collection housed in a large warehouse-like garage.

In the video taken at the garage, we see it filled with everything from pedestrian Toyota FJ Cruisers to Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, BMWs, Audis and Mercedes-Benz models, again ranging from the ordinary to the extraordinary in terms of rarity and desirability.
There is one vehicle that tips the scale though — the Revcon Trailblazer. Only 67 were ever made, which makes this the rarest vehicle in the collection.
Based on a Ford F-350, the Revcon 6×6 OBS Trailblazer is a six-wheeled RV with two bedrooms, two kitchens, a full bathroom and dining area, powered by a 7.5-liter V8 and 2,200 watts of solar power. Priced at $45,000 when new, the Revcon Trailblazer is probably far from Assad’s most valuable vehicle but as far as campers go, it’s pretty cool.
That distinction goes to the Ferrari F50, valued at around $5 million. Only 349 F50 units were ever produced, making it the second rarest of Ferrari’s “halo” cars. Each one is a testament to Ferrari’s Formula 1 technological expertise with a race-derived 4.7-liter V12 engine making 512 horsepower.
The Lamborghini LM002 “Rambo Lambo” in the collection is also quite rare, with only 301 units made. Other highlights include a Lamborghini Diablo, a Mercedes-AMG SL65 Black Series, an Audi R8 and a Bentley Continental. The Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser, also known as the dictator’s favourite car, is also a nice addition. The fate of these cars is not yet known but we can only hope they go to good use.
