I'm really curious......if they're "not for sale" (everything is for sale)....they WHAT exactly is his "plan" for these cars? :willy: :willy:

Did he give you any insight?

If he plans on restoring and selling them, he better get to work! Looks like 50 years worth or projects!

I am not one to get all sentimental about cars. They are sheetmetal, not people. I don't mind people cutting up classics, etc. One of my favorite sayings (can't remember where I heard it) is "anyone can restore a classic, but it takes a real man to cut one up"
HOWEVER. This should be a crime, what this guy is doing. There is a massive difference between cutting cars up and letting them ROT. What possible reason could he have? I have a friend with a Supercharged 57 T-Bird that says it is his kid's college fund. That makes sense. This, I don't know?
It is always frustrating to see people who have something you want and don't respect it, don't deserve it, or don't care....

What a waste. He'll end up dying and someone will either buy the collection for pennies on the dollar and sell them for a profit (if any by then). Or some jackass family member with no knowledge of cars will come along and clear out the property and send these all to the crusher. S*** like this just pisses me off. If you don't have the means or resources why not make them available to someone that does. Theres nothing wrong with being selective about who you sell too with the hope you made the right decision. I know of so many cars within a 2 mile radius of my house just withering away in the elements its sad to look at. Hell I've got a Nova in storage I haven't seen in 4 years and its killing me not to be able to do anything with, and thats 1 car. Imagine a yard full.

Tim, thanks for forwarding that to me. Now I feel like a bad person for my mom's back yard. Dick. But seriously, that IS truly criminal. Having those pictures posted up here without an address is criminal too. It's like I'm a six year old and you're waving an ice cream cone in front of my face. What's your problem man, do you like watching us squirm like chihuahua's chasing a laser pointer?

My disdain for you is a thinly veiled mask of my own despair at seeing so much beauty oxidizing into oblivion.

(wow, emo.)

I would venture to say that there are quite a few hoarders that are configured in just this way, ie, a late model wrecking/recycling business with a lot of the owner's "good stuff" hoarded out back.

Sad, just sad. Nuf said. :mad:

Unfortunately there are probably hundred of yahoo's like him out there doing the same thing. By the time they sell it or fix it, its too rusted to restore. I know of one guy not far from me that has 50 Chevelles rusting in his backyard and have been "warned'", he isnt buyer friendly.

There's one in almost every town... :mad:
