I’ll stick with my 401. I suspect that the muscle cars will soon go the same way that the older antique cars did. Kids today don’t care and can’t afford or do a restoration. My neighbor had an old Cuda and every time it was started up it became apparent why it used to be easy to commit suicide by shutting yourself in the garage with a running car. Gack.

I wonder how many people are searching for their matching numbers driveline, and this guy has it sitting on a shelf. He's sitting on a gold mine, for sure.

[@nickeldime309]

This is hoarding at a whole other level!!

[@powerwagon3731]

I think it’s a mental issue since childhood. “ you’re jealous and I’m not gonna share” syndrome. Back in the seventies and early eighties I had my share of cars including 70 Charger R/T, 71 340 Demon, 68 Satellite 383 4 speed ,66 Chevelle SS 4 speed. They were affordable but now the hobby is ruined by hoarders and speculators. I’m in my sixties now and have an rusty old truck for a hobby and that’s all I need.

[@idaholineman5788]

So cool, the hobby is lucky to have someone save all this stuff. I’m sure it’ll filter into the market eventually

[@markvincent5992]

I have seen comments about the cars rotting away and I agree. This fellow should choose the rarest cars or a personally desired few, and raid the parts pile to restore the favorites. I believe he could probably get several cars restored and pay for it by selling the rest. Sure would be better than watching him let them rot out

[@mattwhaley9917]

The pallet racks are perfect for storage. My buddy did the same with his building and his Impalas. So Cool!!!

[@AutoArchaeology]

I was just thinking about how much can a three story pallet rack hold.

[@xeong5]

Depending on the width of the columns but standard ones hold around 4000 lbs per rack.

[@savedin87ify]

Wow you could make so many complete cars

[@freefromit2]

[@brianbartlett7313]

Not really a waste, a lot people put their money in a 401k. This guy just invested in rare mopars for a retirement fund.

[@AutoArchaeology]

Oh this is only a small sampling of their cars.

[@bluesman7475]

Not a waste at all. Especially for the guy who needs a part that is not reproduced.

[@Joedoeswhat]

That's what he enjoyed he enjoyed having and collecting it he didn't care what condition it was in trust me he enjoyed it just by owning it and looking at it it wasn't a waste to him people are very strange it what makes us great

[@simonfilippov2609]

Hoarding wouldn’t be accurate.. It’s called a junk yard, it was well stocked, and probably gave up on the business.

[@paulbartlett9054]

INCREDIBLE COLLECTION! The time to liquidate is NOW! If they know anything about the restoration hobby and how much time and money needs to be invested vs. how long baby boomers and their kids will still be willing (or able) to invest in such an endeavor. Will it still be feasible in 2030 to restore a Mopar? In 2035? In 2050? Will anyone care? No one knows, but it makes you think right? I saw one six figure investment after another in this video. Nice video!!

[@dalehood1846]

@paulbartlet, In the coming years, it will be even MORE feasible because of hybrids and electric vehicles. While the market does ebb and raise sometimes. Classic Mopars never go out of Vogue. All the best and may God bless.

[@nickrichards7646]

I would like to know why and how cars like this were once brand new and someone's pride and joy, to looking like it was dragged out of a swamp. I live in northern IL were every car rusted . Pretty much every old car I had in the 90's was a rust bucket, and not worth much. I never can across a Mopar E-body. I meet a guy at local show with a 1969 Charger, I asked him what it looked like before restoration, he picked up a piece of rusty metal, then show me a picture. I'm about 50yrs old, so I wasn't around when these cars were new.

Most likely nothing much is for sale either. I thank this guy for doing what he did for the hobby by saving these for the future generations to come but what is his advantage when he dies? I hope he comes to terms with his place in life and enjoys watching others thanking him for selling something. If it was me i would turn away flippers and sell them one by one to ordinary people that will put these cars in good homes instead of the quick buck guys that do not love these classics but bow to the dollar only. Nice to find out he restores some as his pass time or profit but lets face it even a young man could not restore all of them by himself. Maybe i am wrong about everything but i have met a lot of guys that let classics rot till no one wants them anymore.

All these cars at one point it time were worth hardly anything, as they were just old, used up, wore out cars at the time, to the public masses. No one wanted them. Now that the millions of them before were junked, scraped and crushed for probably next to nothing, everyone is upset at this guy, that used his time and effort to literally drag these ones home.

GOTTA ask if your friend is willing to part with any of them? A more complete-ish model is obviously preferred but if he were to be able to get any of them out is he open to possible sales? I have a 69 camaro rs/ss but I've always had a soft spot for the old mopars in particular the years he has stored. I love the body lines of the cudas and challengers and while it would take a lot of money time and work it looks like he has some viable restoration/restomod specimens in there AND while may not get numbers matching with the rest he has you could conceivably get a hemi or a 440 off his shelf and build it up from there as a period correct drive train.
