CharlieBucket Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 you think this guy was just crazy, or had a plan to sell everything and "retire" and just died early. he obviosly knew was trying to build a great collection, but for what i wonder. i read this story a while back and have been wondering about him ever since.

Duke Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 There was an article about that find in HOT ROD around 6 months ago. It said that the guy was just one of those weird guys that hoards stuff. At least he kept it stored in the right way instead of just letting it rot outside like some datsun guys do...you guys know who you are. Quote Link to comment

Still.... every time I see a closed garage or barn I want to look inside. Quote Link to comment

tiltnose510 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 When I was growing up in Arlington I used to frequent the home of a fellow Mopar enthusiast. He took me to his old barn outside of town one day. An old barn out on the edge of the field. Inside was (and maybe still is) An AAR Cuda, T/A Challenger, a Hemi Challenger (26 original miles, 1/4 mile only car), '69 Hemi Roadrunner and a 440 six pack Charger R/T. Not mentioning the parts there too. Quote Link to comment
