I get really agitated looking at photos of collections like that, makes me wish I could just go in there and say, Hey listen, I dont give a rats backside if you want to sell them or not, here's an open cheque for the lot, tell what numbers you want put on it.
The fact that they sit there with rotting tarps over them or worse, month after month, year after year is just so frustrating, when so many people would lovingly restore them and give them a good home.
We read on here so often, of guys looking for a project car and half the battle is finding one and getting the intial dosh to buy it.
Most of the time once you have a project car, at least you can start picking away at the resto, as cash flow allows.
Stay on his case Tbird, im sure he'll end up parting with some of them.
