Heh posted just as Goody posted his.

You sure do have some good stuff there. its a shame to see it all rotting.

I know it's a shame, but at least they don't see the crushers. And I do give my local friends good deals on stuff they need. I haven't even showed you 1/3 of the stuff. And probably won't..lol. Must people think I am bulling them when I say I have a bunch of stuff. But it all adds up in 30 years. I got rid of 200 mopar muscle cars in 30 days once. First I opened up the gates and let a dozen or so of my friends get anything they wanted. You should of seen them. It looked like super market sweep. I will never forget it.  I did this because my cars were being kept along an interstate and in the winter they could be seen. I got robbed, so I got mad and crushed them. I'm not proud of that remark, but I can't stand a thief. So gave away everything anyone wanted, then crushed the bodies for 50 bucks a car. I have always been a mopar person. Even when no body liked them and we were a minority.  Now my hot rods, I can never let them go.  I do have big trailers full of oddball parts tho. That's why one day when I get tired of working, I will just gather it all up and barter for food and lights with it.  Here's a big lesson for everyone. Never ever let anyone know where you keep your favorite toys. The word of mouth hits on fools thoughts.

My fantacy? To build my own test track, and start relaxing again. :2thumbs: Some of my toys can go as fast as 250mph. I got a killer deal in New Orleans 18 yrs ago or so and bought 2 nitro engines, some lencos, and the texaco havok t/a draggster when they went to top fuel a while back ago.  I don't think I can pass a physical anymore tho. My cars and stuff are in my will to go to certain friends and family.  I still own land I haven't walked on in 30 yrs. It's for my grand children.  Thanks for all the good comments about my stuff. It makes me feel good to know that some people enjoy what I have.  You can never be rich and happy...I'm happy. And blessed with a good family and many close friends.

Wow... seems like you have a heck of collection there, Al. Great stuff. :thumbsup:

Now, you don't happen to have a 67-69 Barracuda Formula S (340 or larger) project that you are willing to part with for a reasonable amount, by any chance... ;D
