That ad is funny..........
Although I must say, if I was to have my arm twisted into going to a "auto graveyard", this guys place would be first on my list...........Champaign to Augusta only 600+ miles and 10 hours away.

I didn't ask about the S4 but if that's true, I'd run away fast. Oh yeah, I already did.
Anyway, he quoted me $1500 for the Oak Green 80 Euro. I told him no thanks and that's when he said to make an offer. I think he's going to eventually sell them for whatever he can get for them.

Yes, a lot of rust and quite a few missing parts under the hood. I mentioned the missing parts and he said I could take whatever was missing from the other cars. He said the Oak Green Euro was a one owner car that belonged to a professional race car driver. He told me the name but I can't remember. It wasn't a name I recognized.

That explains why all these cars are still there rotting away. What a shame.
Considering that it will probably take $10,000 to get that car up to it's $8,000 value, he owes me $2,000 to take it off his hands!
Nevermind, but thanks for the update.

Yes, it's sad, but people who have a remarkably distorted sense of value, unfortunately, are not uncommon. My father in law is a prime example - he thinks his 20-year-old pieces of crap are still worth the price he paid for them.

"I will buy it and fix it up mentality but then I let it sit and rot because I imagine that I will get to it someday."
So the guys with these collections simply magnified that thought about 20 times. Maybe he's 20 times the car nut I am, and couldn't pass up buying things he thought he'd get around to. Maybe he bought the cars and drove them for a while, then parked them when he saw something else 'shiny', and the process repeated itself.
