one would think that if someone had the cash to purchase all of those vettes, that someone could spring for car covers to protect the investment especially if he intended to let them sit like that. then again, now that these vehicles have deteriorated, some lucky people will eventually be able to pick up a classic vette for far below the fair market value.

I remember getting in trouble for calling the 900 number to enter that contest. Boy, if I'd have won that one, those vettes wouldn't be the condition they're in now. ; )

I did always wonder how in the hell I was going to store and insure all those cars had I won?

It could have been worse. Max could have painted them all.

Nice. 36 Corvettes that have been time capsuled “as is/was” in a garage for a couple of decades. Now the fun can begin!

Not the 1st won't be the last....

I knew an aviator with a collection of 16 aircraft, said he was going to restore them all. I watched airline pilots flying in from all over wanting to buy one of these collector birds of their dreams (all basket cases, and they wanted to restore it or have someone do it for them) and he wouldn't sell anything. Big sale after his death, all were sold in lots by type, and many had gone to seed beyond repair, it was in a way sad. He sold only one of them while he was alive and it is one of a handful of "Kinner Low Wings" and I am not sure if the hulk he had went on to fly or was used as parts, it went to someone affiliated with the a major museum....
