You know, when I see something like this, I keep thinking that all of the car enthusiast in the country/world should team up and start some type of group that has some political clout. I mean gun owners have the NRA, landmarks are protected by historical societies, and other groups have representation in Washington, yet car enthusiasts are at the mercy of the state and federal governments with no representation.
A well organized group could block the efforts of the govenment to have these car crushed, and could, instead, protect them until they could be catalogued, and then sold, or carted off to museums, etc. God knows how many truely rare and/or historic cars are just sitting there, waiting to be destroyed by an uncaring state government who has no business infringing on this mans personal rights. The cars are not in view, they are not an eyesore, they are on personal property, so why is the state even getting involved? I hope that some attorney, that is also passionate about cars, will step up and donate his time to portect this guy and the cars until something more can be done for them. It would be sad to see so much automotive history be destroyed when there are thousands of people looking for cars and parts.
