Same! And what a lovely person he is! Joy is exactly the right word for it. It’s not tinged by possessiveness or avarice or self-importance - just pure delight and joy in the wonder of the things and what he obviously views as the luck of being the steward of these things. Alex always finds the most interesting people with a zest for life and a passion for the things they do and the things they collect.

What a great episode and concept…Alex, please consider showing more collector’s item narrated by these passionate owners! The knowledge these folks have is so valuable and can be shared via KZbin while they’re alive…as he said, not open to the public but we viewers can tour his museum quality items. Just think about how much interest there is when you talk about your finds…you’re so well connected, I’m sure this show and tell concept would be very popular.

A workmate of my dad's bought a '59 Corvette back several decades ago with the license, "XRACR". the plate made him curious, so he researched it, turned out to be Bob Bondurant's "614" Car just prior to the one Vic Edelbrock Jr. owned! He raced at Monterey with it for many years. He was able to get the original mechanic to go through the engine and all the paint was redone correctly. If you watch Ford v Ferrari, you'll see this "614" in the racing scenes at Willow Springs.

My grandpa bought a blue Monte Carlo with a white landau top back in the 70's. He was getting his car serviced and he was a newlywed. My step-grandma saw the Monte Carlo in the showroom and said, "that's a pretty car" so he bought it. He drove it all over and it lasted years.

Holy moly! This guy has the mother of all collections! I am like him but not on this grand of a scale. I have owned only 6 Corvettes over the years and used to write for one of the Corvette magazines. I sold my house with my "man cave" pole barn in Michigan and moved to Arizona 6 years ago. Sold the last Corvette too as I had a life threatening diagnosis. I have met many of the people he spoke about over the years too. My health has improved a bit but I just can't get out of a Corvette any longer - much easier to fall into one than to leverage the old body up and out. Thank you for this episode!!!!!!!!!!!

The 500 was a lot of car with it's 428 interceptor in it. That was the start of my love for them though I've never had one.
