that is unbelieveable! It's a shame he doesn;t have the time to auction stuff in lots. he'd get a lot more for the stuff, but it would take another 40 years to sell it all.
Good thing though, hopefully someone will get it. I fear when you see stuff like that, that someone with no appreciation of how rare some of that stuff is , or an appreciation of anything motoring wise will dig a big hole and bury it all. cheers Chris |

Each old part seems ghostly, only if these parts could talk, there would be many great stories in that lot.

droool... some of that stuff is unbelievable. It looks pretty well organized too I must say. Better than my shed
![]() Hows his "parts" cars... the inline 8 is awesome. Do you reckon you'd make your 1.5mil back? I mean, its all there, but the condition of the parts leave a lot to be desired. I would take a couple of items from him no worries though even having said that!

haha, yeah. With one of them labeled "Thing"
What about the Shelby engine? right down the bottom of the page... The hardest part would be selling it all, without flooding the market and bringing down the prices in doing so. Q: Paul, I hope the ex-wife doesn't get a dime. A man after my own dreams. There's always the Powerball! Jul-06-07 A: Don't worry. She won't. She left 34 years ago. Good luck! HAHHAHAHA

I like this question from someone in England. It's GOLD
Q: Hi, Me and my friend Adam (a real petrol head)have been looking at your site, WOW! Adam is wondering if Bruce would take his wife-to-be (getting married in a week) in part exchange for the lot. She's 27 brunette, extremely intellegent,earnn v.good wages (I can vouch for this). However she can't cook nor is any good at house work but she's good in bed (Adam told me, I have to take his word for it!) Should Bruce decide do the deal, he will have to collect her from London, England as she might disappear before then. Unfortunately, I can't supply the photo as it might prejudice the deal.This is an offer once in a life time and I'm sure she would make (or break) Bruce a very happy man. Thank you and we really enjoyed looking at your site. Chai Jul-06-07 A: I say, old chap, that's a sticky wicket. Would a test drive be possible? Bruce also said Thank You too, and tell Adam good luck with the marriage. Sounds like he's going to need it! |

Woah that's crazy! If you devoted 5 or 10 years of your life to sorting, cleaning, polishing and listing you could make a huge profit.

Have seen it before, in my watch list for when I win tattslotto
He needs to get some one in to list and sell the parts individually. Although yanks do pay over US$1,000,000 for nice classics

That 1.5m you could convert into a easy 5m+ with a little effort.
But dam that is one hell of a collection. |
