WARNING DO NOT LOOK UNLESS YOU HAVE AN HOUR OR SO TO SPARE FOR A "QUICK SCROLL" THROUGH THE ITEMS

OOOHHHHHHHHH s**t :o :o :o :o :o
 He sure has got a few bits, its amazing how you just put a couple of bits down and they act like magnets for a few more ::)

It seems every available space in the house/shed has been used for storage, even the fridge. Have you noticed the "Hand" in several of the photos? looks like this guy has even buried his family under spare parts.

I dont think Chrissie will ever need to tell me again about keeping a few parts incase they may come in handy ;D

I did email him for price of P & P to UK ::) ;D

Did I read that price right? -One & a half MILLION?!
A stunning collection though. I'd like the ambulance/police car half buried in the brambles please. How do you amass a hoard like that? Amazing.

Someone should buy that, including his house, & preserve it as an automotive museum exactly as it is. Wonder what his neighbours think of him?

2 million car parts, weighing 2,500 tons, collected over 34 years!
Incredible.

I love the fact that the land all comes free with all the cars! It could take years just finding out whats there. I wonder if you get the dogs?
I think the tractor is a monster hot rod. Model T perhaps?

..not sure about "T", the shell looks a lot like the '33 Plymouth that we run.
I have got some paint questions, mind if I Email you ?

Yeah no problem mate. Might take a day or two to get back to you though.
Your right, Ive changed my mind on it being a tall T. Could be a Plymouth like yours, thats why I recognise it.

Amazing how that's sunk into the ground like that -looks almost like it's been dug in.

Check the Valley Gas speed shop bit in the Rally/Show Photos or Miscellaneous sections Shaun.
This pick up's a fibreglass replica. It was used as set decoration in "Who Killed Roger Rabbit" & had one side completely shaved off as it was stood against a wall.
Now fully rebuilt & sporting a diesel engine, it was driven to Portugal & back last year.

Yeah, that's where the plan falls down a bit doesn't it. I'd be happy with just one of those motors. Any one would do. Bet they're in pretty poor shape though.
