Before I retired, one of the owners of the company I worked for was reputed to have a garage similar to this. He was a car enthusiast, even had his own hydraulic lift for working on his vehicles. I never saw it myself, but in good weather during the summer he would show up at work with a mint condition
‘65 Mustang. He had 2 or 3 Corvettes that he would occasionally drive.
I admire people like him- he helped create that business, created jobs for a lot of us, and made a bunch of money in the process. He and the other owners were great people to work for. More power to him.
Can a mechanic these days afford a 10 acre ranch with a warehouse?
Since he can’t take the beautiful collection with him I have only one reaction: Oh what a country!
Nice
When I was in high school I worked for a guy who had a mint condition 63 Corvette convertible. He also had a couple others in need of restoration along with a AC Bristol (Cobra)
He wanted to sell the vette and a prospective buyer checked all of the VIN tags. Turned out he had unwittingly bought a stolen car. When he tried to sell it the statute of limitations was just a couple months from expiring.
The insurance company thanked him for taking such good care of their car when they came to pick it up. He lost the entire value of the car.
