In the auction someone asked about buying the land and all. The seller said it could be arranged.

One person couldn't turn around that many parts in a lifetime, without devoting every waking minute to sorting junk. No thanks it wouldnt pay much when you consider the amount of time invested....Half of that **** couldnt even be sold.

I spy a BB with the offenhiemer heads (cant spell it, dont shoot me) I believe that was a 409... right?

anyone dig up the lyrics to the beachboys song about it.... try me.

I'd like to spend a few days going through lookint at all of it hearing the stories. I'd say 1.5 would be a decent start, but true value would surpass that with the sheer volume of rare parts. Hell some wheels I saw would go for a couple grand.

If I hit the lottery I'd buy it, then I'd have one hell of an ebay auction going. No telling how many appraisers and books and research would have to be done just to sell a few of the parts. I'm sure a killing could be made.
