For 1.5 million, I could buy a warehouse and fill it with restored muscle cars. I don't think he'll get even close to that.

Holy crap! That is a boatload of stuff!

I think it would be easier just to buy the property with contents, than to try and move all that. (unless I didn't read all the way, and the land is included)

Can you imagine if all those parts where to end up on ebay all at once? The price for older used parts would plummet.

Anybody see any Benz parts in there??

I would think a collection like that would easily be sold privately, not on Ebay....

What about that FOOS dude with the tv show.....

Sale comes with the land 3.9 acres and a house. Check out the Q and As. The seller's friend has a sense of humor.

Now we know where ALL those muscle cars went to die.
