Wouldn't be difficult. If its the same 'Marc' as in Marc Wein I'm thinking of, the warehouse where he keeps these cars is just outside Austin. He's constantly flogging them on CL.

After you read this I don't think you'd want to meet him

That guy has had cars listed for sale for several years.

Exactly, and that blue C2S has been advertised on Ebay. I get the impression his cars are driver quality.

You have to wonder what the idiots at 9 Magazine are doing that they don't know about this scum. He probably paid them to put the "article" up.

Targa decklid script may say something about the condition of the "collection"?

He actually called me when I was in the hunt, as I put a wanted ad in Panorama. He didn't sound real good over the phone even...every car he had seemed over priced.

Another interesting read: the webpage attached to Marc's e-mail address in the article.
It's for High Times' Cannabis Cup winner, "Grand Master Grind Marc"
at Spicewood, TX's "Wholesome Grinding Company," MamaGrind.com
His cars might arrive pre-scented

& with extra munchies

“When I retired, I wanted an alternative investment. Stocks and bonds can go to zero. A Porsche will always be worth something to someone,” he added.
....
The sale of them is to thin the heard. Marc currently has a whopping 23 993’s in his collection and would be happy with just 7-12 of the cars, “One for each day of the week,” he says in jest. I think we agree with you there too, sir!

It’s taken Marc over 7 years to build the collection. Each one of the cars were hand-picked with strict criteria. “Each car had to be one-owner, low-mileage examples and have the window sticker and service records.” Details like this are sure to make potential buyers extremely happy to lay down their hard-earned dollars. Interested parties can contact Marc by e-mail.
How's that "investment" working, after storage costs, insurance, maintenance, etc? OK, def more fun than the stock market however.

7 years to collect 23 of them, now most for sale....not much of a "collector", more like speculator. And once "one owner beauties" are now "two owner beauties" so by his own criteria, we shouldn't buy them!

he would need to hold them for 30 years from new to get a return. ( if they are second hand with miles on them).
