I've always taken the attitude that, even though the guy is a major league 'TARD.....I've always believed that the more cars that are out of commission, the higher the value of the active cars becomes.
Doesn't make it any easier to look at and dream though.....
dude i just pitched a tent in my pants...... oh my lord that is heaven ......he needs to find shelter for that gold he has there . imagine how low mileage those cars have too ....probably build sheets in the seats too..
Theres only one muscle car in all those pictures the gto rest are pony cars one 55 nomad and a corvette.Yes some people are stupid i know where a Yenko nova is stilling in a field floor pan deep in the ground old man wont sell it i have afford up to 30 grand for it.
We had tales of a musclecar graveyard around where I live. Supposedly him and his brother were buying up wrecked and cheap muscle cars from across the us back in the late 70's. He has about 30 or so from the 60's era he guesses out back in his yard. You could drive by this place a 100 times and never guess the mess out back, because his house is run down and he has trees all over the sides blocking the backyard view.
I heard about it in chats with other people who heard the same story, but never anyone who knew whee the guy lived. The only reason I found out was at the barber shop, and people yacking about others. Just so happened they got talking about old Soandso with old cars galore, and how they were sitting there rotting away out back.
Needless to say that caught my attention, and I twisted my way into the chat and got the guys address which sadly was only 3 miles from me and I never knew! So I popped in one saturday before lunch and told him, I heard he had all these old cars, etc.... and asked if I could just look at them, being an old car fan and all.
He laffed and we walked around the side of this house, I was excited. I was about to enter the fabled muscle car graveyard. The old man was muttering something but my mind was just guessign at what treasures he might have, and how could i wrestle one away from him.
As we came around the corner there is was, the fabled muscle car graveyard everyone in my area talked about.
I saw;
73 mustang shell sitting on the ground, no interior/engine.
75 camaro that had been rolled by his brother
71 ford pickup, that had more rust than paint
64 impala 4 door that had become a dog house
and a couple various farm tractors
The old man told me not to feel bad, I was not the 1st person who came knocking on his door about a bunch of old muscle out back. He said; "I am old son, but not crazy. I would of cashed in on them cars long ago had I had em."

I have looked a hundred times at those pictures and can't find a 55 Nomad in any of them. I did see a 55 2 door station wagon though.
It doesn't take rocket science to figure out how this story ends....
He keeps rehashing the same old rhetoric about how he's going to restore them someday and yadda, yadda, yadda and then one day the worthless piece of crap dies and his family has to hire a company to come out and auction off all his never realized projects, many of which are now beyond repair thanks to his preschool level intelligence.
He's the last of a dying breed. If God's looking for another village idiot to add to his kingdom...he can take this moron tomorrow.
