Impressive Car Collection

[SC Cheesehead]

Passed along from a gearhead friend of mine:

"Car Collection
Try to guess what the value of this collection might be?

Punta Gorda is 50 miles north of Naples , Florida and there lives a guy with an amazing General Motors collection.

The Orlando Corvette club went to see the cars. Check it out."

No Fords, but anybody that appreciates cars will enjoy looking at these.

What a neat story! This guy has a cool place and plenty of great cars!!

I want to be him when I win the lottery!

[Pops]

That 58 with the new drive train was nice Marty!

[SC Cheesehead]

Bunch of nice cars. I've always loved GTOs and saw a couple nice ones in the collection.

+1 on the '58 Chebby.

It's about 20 miles from me. As you would expect they have quite a few car shows in the parking lot. My neighbor has a wicked GT-500 and he volunteers in quite a few of them.

[J-MAN]

I wonder if the owner of those cars would be interested in adopting a 63 year old?

[Pops]

NO!!!! He would want this 57 year old instead.:D

[martyo]

I wrote myself into his Will!!

My brother lives there in Punta Gorda and has told me about this --alot!

Amazing!

Value of the Collection = PRICELESS. He's got nearly one of everything ever made by Chevy and Pontiac plus the whole collector's set of Corvettes from the beginning. He's got some beautiful cars there. Too many great cars there to even single out some favorites.

Wow. Just plain Wow. :up:

Very nice, I googled an article about him and basically hes a self-made millionaire starting out in construction and ending up in property development. Ill never be rich but I like it when rich folks spend their money, especially in the US, its good for the economy (somebody sold him all those cars). I also like that blue collar stuff like Leno or Seinfeld where if you like cars, you go out and buy a s--tload of em and enjoy owning them. Not like some rich folks who just rathole their money away.

Totally beyond belief - beautiful collection. It's great that he has now turned the collection into a museum for everyone to enjoy. :beer:

A Top Class collection. It looks like no expense was spared. Would be an experience to see it.

[jgc61sr2002]

Unbelieveable :D Wow what a nice collection.
As to their value, I can't count that high.

[Crown Vicman]

Too many chevys for my taste but look at those goats WOO HOO!!!!!

[MyTMerc]

Going to put this on my list of must see's when I head back that way over the holidays.

[Mike Poore]

Do I hear a proposal for Marauderville VIII or IX in the making? :)

[Donny Carlson]

He is living my fantasy life. The only criticism I have is that it's more a warehouse of cars than anything. If you wanted to drive something you'd have to move a dozen cars. Also, there isn't any battery tenders being used that I could see, so my guess is most won't crank. There was a vid link some time back (it may have been on another site) to the Sultan of Michigan's collection, which has two huge rooms, one American the other foreign and exotics. All those cars you could see were on battery tenders, and at one point they fire up one of the Ferrari's. You could also conceivably move a car in or out without much fuss.

Small gripe, I know. It would be wonderful to have that kind of problem -- having to move 5 or 6 cool cars to get to one to drive.

Edit: Here's the Youtube of the Sultan of Michgan's collection:

sorry, for some reason they don't want this vid to be embedded.

+1 What Donny said for me. Anybody know the skinny on the limited Camaro?

[Glenn]

This is just beyond belief == what cars == unreal! A 1953 SC 6 cylinder Corvette - WOW! Thanks for posting Donny.
