Hey guys i know where a ran down huge shop full of about 20,mustangs 8or9 camaros novas chevells and others .Coverd in about 20 years of dust.Almost looks like the place was abandoned years ago. I have not dove into trying to find the owner for i do not have the kind of money it might take to buy all the cars but it is definetly a gold mine.its in the dallas ftw area.If someone with financial backing would be interested let me know.who knows they may have all been stolen back in the 70s i just dont understand why they would just be sitting like they are.But i have recently went back and checked on them and nothing has been touched since i first saw them 8yrs ago.Just a thought maybe something to do.

How do you get into a building to see these cars w/o going thru the owner?

A friend of mine rides 4wheelers the trail he rides goes behind the bldg. the bldg is not sealed up you can actually walk up to one of the bldg and see inside. The bldg next to it is a little more complicated. I have not seen all of the cars close up (did not want to get in trouble) So who knows what kind of parts could be in there.I just cant think of a reason why someone would have all those cars in a falling down bldg like that.Many of them have bird dropins and most all of the cars i saw had flats.Like i sad they have 20yrs of dust on them.

next time you go riding the 4wheelers... bring your camera and take some pics!!:yes:

get some pics and find out who owns them. they may or not be for sale do alittle finding out

I tried to find the owner of the property years ago really dont know how to go about it.the place is about 2acres with 3bldgs each about 3500 sqf in an old industreal part of a small town. right off of a major hwy. I go buy about every month or so but it is gated in the front every thing always looks the same grass grown up bldgs falling in.How can i find the owner? Any ideas? I already have a 68 and a 67 rs/ss project my wife would kill me if i came home with 30 more. But i would be in heaven!!!

Go search the 'plats' at the county courthouse....where taxes get paid. Every landowner is named out on a map called a 'plat'. They will usually help you. Also some bigger metro areas have all this stuff online and usually free. Some charge though. It is public information.

Parker County?

http://www.parker.tx.us.landata.com/

No not parker but you got the State right.I thought about trying to get in and get some license plate info Just not as brave as i used to be.But i will try the plat idea thanks.

Your first post you said dfw area so yeah I hope I got the state right:D

Just do an internet search for 'xxx county court clerk', sometimes the info is under assessor, fork over their 20 bucks or whatever for 1 search or 1 week or whatever and bang you got all the info available, and if taxes are delinquent. And like I said sometimes the internet assessor data is free dude.

Get a general idea of information written down, city nearby, names of roads and streets, maybe another home or building that is occupied nearby, get that address for reference, then as others have said, local county court house assessors office or even auditors office. Either of them can then help you wade thru the plats or city information. Someone must be paying the taxes or it would be sold for back taxes, including contents.
Maybe a single dude with no relatives owns it and he died, probate doesnt know the building is in his name or a host of other excuses but for some reason, its there and locked up. Go quietly too, dont tell anyone else what you are doing or why. Once you have the name, attempt to call or mail that person. If no answer, then its time to talk to lawyer about options. :) I love a mystery.

...and since you have posted here, you must let us know the complete progression of this story. It's the law!!!

If you can get the address or the Tax lot and block from a neighbor ( tell then you want to buy the property and CLEAN it up or something, then got to the local tax assessor and the will give you the current owner info. I actually do this qiute a bit as i'm a land surveyor that find a few cars from time to time in my travels.

Oh oh, another barn find stampede?

alan

Tell me the address and I'll try to look it up online.

Tell me the address and I'll try to look it up online.

l:)l:)

Tell me the address and I'll try to look it up online.

Im sure every one would be more than happy to know where these cars are located or I mean help a guy out ;)

It shouldn't be too much trouble to get an address nearby if the actual site address isn't available, then use maps to pinpoint the place.

http://www.dallascad.org/ Dallas county
http://www.tad.org/ Tarrant county

Does this earn me a shot at one or more GM products at the place??

Maybe the cars are in the Witness Protection Program?

alan

http://www.camaros.net/forums/album.php?albumid=8&picturid=57Maybe thats where they stashed Jimmy Hoffa ! :cool:

yea guys the address is 1212 no way street nowhere texas. Ill try and do some research this weekend and let ya know.I figuref i just used up all my luck finally getting my 67 rs/ss i have been after for 15yrs but you never know

Is this the Keith that had a shop in Arlington at one time?

Billy blue z-28 billy. Yes the one and only Keith.

Take a camera and shoot a couple photos of the cars inside and post them here. This story has to start somewhere...

I knew it was you. I thought those cars would be gone by now. I thought you would have half of them by now......... LOL

Plane jane chevells ;) you mean copo right.

If you can get an address and have a friend who works for a title company or a friend who is in the lending business they can look it up for you . I can go on my title companies web site right now and put the address in and tell you in two seconds who owns the property , when they bought it , the mailing address where the county property tax bill goes to..... not hard to get that info. Interesting story though for sure !

If the cars were stolen 30 years ago, would the statute of limitations come into effect on this? i think its ususally only 2 or 3 years. In other words, could the cars still be recovered by their rightful owners?

IF and thats a big IF, they were stolen and IF insurance paid out on them, the insurance company owns them.
Not sure about statute of limitations in car theft cases. ??

Yes.

pictures?

Michael, he said he would try to sneek pics but they are in a locked building. Its a great story that hopefully unfolds with success in getting the cars before a crusher. These type of stories, its worth reading every post, some are funny, others good info. :)

I'll be watching this thread all weekend. Can't wait to see some pictures!

Been there --done that.. Need advice. PM me.

I have someone with the resources to buy everything is there, (Mustang's Camaro's, whatever) and we will pay a handsome finders fee. However, if it is all plane jane 6 Cyl bench / column shift / Bench seat cars needing full restoration, we might not be quite so interested.

I have access to resources that will take some of that action should it become available. Finders fee as well.

I think that the cars might be returned to the original owners. I heard of a Corvette that was recovered amd returned to it's rightful owner that was stolen twenty years ago. The car was found as it was being loaded onto a boat to go overseas, it had never been registered the whole time it was missing in the US. Of course I don't know if the car had insurance on it at the time of the theft. I think this story was in the news within the last year.

Jeff

Maybe they'll find Amelia Aerhardt's plane in there.

Maybe Jimmy Hoffa.

Joe, us Okies think alike... my guess is the statute has expired but the rightful owners still have a right to the cars.

that story was in the news about 3 years ago, the car was stolen in the 70s and returned to the owner. the owner now lives in california. I saw the car ( restored) and met the owner at corvettes at carlise in 2007.

I can't find my, "This thread is worthless without Pics" GIF:(

I can't find my, "This thread is worthless without Pics" GIF:(

Tell me about it !!!!!

http://home.freeuk.com/jrknight/smileys/postpics.gif

Im working on it guys i live about an hour away and had to work today so i will get some picts as soon as possible. I forgot to mention the six or seven coevetts i think one is a 65or67 427. And as far as finders fee goes i would have to have a percentage of the total profits been working on these cars for a long time .just dont have the kind of money to offer the owner if i do find him/her.Will try to get picts day or so.

Being in the business for nearly 30 years now, I run accross a lot of stuff. A lot of stuff I could not buy or did not want to buy, but a deal for someone else. I have recieved a lot of bird dog fees over the years. Believe me you are best to get a straight number, make your money and find the next ones. If you get involved in the profits, then you have to hope the buyer handles it right, tells the truth, (how much they sold for, how much they invested), you don't want to try to police all that.

Just make sure your dealing with someone that will take care of you properly. I have seen some pretty fat checks from this guy.

My how time flies when you're having fun. You didn't happen to ask if it had insurance when itwas stolen?

Jeff

My how time flies when you're having fun. You didn't happen to ask if it had insurance when it was stolen?

Jeff


If it had been insured, the guy would have signed over the papers/title to the insurance company to be paid out at the time and would have no rights to the car no matter the increased value after so many years. The ones who get the cars back are the poor guys who had no insurance on them when they were stolen. For me to get my insurance check on my 69 I had to send all keys and signed over title. My buddy got lucky since his wife worked with the insurance company via the credit union where she was employed. When his Z was recovered after 5 years, he got a shot at buying it back. If his wife had not had the connections the car would have gone straight to auction and he would have never known.
There was a 55 Chevy that was recovered after 30 years in the Seattle area and the guy got it back since it also had not been insured.


Good Luck on the find. Hopefully you won't be stepping on some one's toes by inquiring. best bet would be a Zoom lens so you can't get trespassing charges leveled against you.

so do i and ours will pay MORE of both ... :)

We don't care if they are plain janes either .... :)

Looks like the hounds are loose. Guys, please quit. Let him figure this out. If you want to offer help with no strings attached then offer it. Otherwise, send him a PM. This thread reads like a feeding frenzy.

This has gotta be a joke........... There is no such thing.

Four pages and no pictures....The natives are restless :)

so, I do believe the OP of this thread can be telling his story az t~iz :beers::thumbsup:

ok guys give me about an hour i will have some picts up and i found out more info today i will fill everyone in in a bit.

Yeahooooo thats what im talking about......

......the suspense is unbearable!!!!!!......pics,pics,pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

Tick, tick, tick....! Come on! I gotta go to bed soon!

:pout:Coming up on two hours, will have to check the thread again in the morning.

There is still a for sale sign but it is crumbled up and lying on the ground. I called and the realtor said the prop is for sale but wouldn't give any info regarding owner. I looked up the address at the appraisal district and the listed owner is a company but I can't find the company's info yet. Will do more research tomorrow. I am working on pics...having prob with damn computer. :mad:

Cool i cant wait any more, just eat dinner now I'm waiting for desert, like some pics :thumbsup:...

well, i can't beleive you found my stash, keep out of my building!

Hey Keith, I aint far from DFW , I've done lots of land deals in Ft Worth. Git'n tha skinny isnt hard ta do. Know lots of folks in that area that can handle it if ya need any help.

As much drillin for the Barnett Shale goin on in DFW it wont take long for it to be discovered...

If It's near the Dallas area...use this interactive map tool....

http://maps.dallascad.org/website/dcad/viewer.htm

Zoom in on the property...then click "Parcel Identify Current Year" which is towards the top of the page and you can find out all the details on the property..including owner and their contact info...

While we are waiting and waiting, I will hijack this for a moment. There's a real nice collection of cars in the Central Texas Museum of Automotive History, near Austin. If you're ever in that area, it's worth seeing, imo. I go there everytime I visit TX. They have 130+ cars on display...Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

There are three buildings and this is one that the bay doors are on the ground. The other two buildings are closed up but not inaccessible and those are the buildings with the nicest cars. I didn't want to push my luck and get a trespassing charge.

Wow! I would love to poke around in there for a little while.

looks like a bunch of worthless clapped out rustangs.

How much are they asking for the property? Also thanks for the pictures. I would love to see more.

The property is 550,000 like i said thats not even a fraction of the cars to name a few 5 corvett 2 69 camaros 467 camaros 1 very nice unrestored 68 camaro a couple of 55 chev a 64 impala ss a old 69 camaro race car with bigblock etc to anyone who is serious about helping me get these cars please e-mail me at cavfamily5@yahoo.com

Dam i gotta check my Lotto numbers.

I hope the cars in the other buildings are in better condition.
I'll take the 66 Caprice, tho, if it's a coupe....:D

Yes the cars in the other bldgs are in a lot better shape like i said were these cars are is almost like being outside. The other two bldgs are closed up so most of the cars are just really dusty. I think there has been a few people going in and out taking parts with them out of that back bldg because it is so accesable.

Keith,
Thanks for the pics:beers:. I didn't know that so many different makes of cars were all painted that same dull tan color :eek: :D.

Maybe you could get the real estate company to give you a tour. That would be cool.

Kinda looks likes an old auction house.

Ray I think you are correct looks like a old auction place with all the numbers on the windows. What engine was in the 70 camaro? Man know I can get to bed.:thumbsup: nice pics.

Wow I hope one of us can pick those up. Would be great to have a big sale on here with list of cars pics etc.. FUN!!

Or if we can get a complete list of the cars, we could do a group buy :-)

Something is fishy here. I saw these pictures in a car magazine last year before I went to Iraq. There was a story on these cars but I don't remember the details.

It is a bizarre story. It got me thinking how many abandoned properties holding true gems might there be throughout the country. Even here on my apartment's parking, there is 68 or 69 plain Camaro. Rusted out like hell with interior totally rotted but it moves as I see it changing parking spaces from time to time.

Sure you're not thinking of that barn find story that was going around awhile back about a guy buying some property and there was a building full of vintage cars in it? Anyway, check this out on snopes for the full scoop about that deal. http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/barnfind.asp

Did I miss the link to the pics? Where is it?

Very clean cars and floor for an abandoned building...

I haven't seen that many Mustang II's since 1977.

Some one needs to get the Camaro's away from all those Ford's, the rust is jumping off and attacking all the good cars :yes:

hate to admit it but actually there are more surviving Fords from early years of the automobile because Ford used to use better metals than the competition... Ever wonder why there are so many Model-T's out there?

Too bad that guy didnt collect the earlier gen mustangs. The 70s models really sucked. Also I know someone looking for a 65-66 GT.

J/K these are from my neighbor's collection

My friend said he thought the owner probably worked at, or owned an auction house. When there were no bidders, he snatched up his collection. Makes sense.

Have the pictures disappeared? They are not showing for me.:confused:

Have the pictures disappeared? They are not showing for me.:confused:



No. Still working for me at post #80

You are right, it was the story on the Portugal story I was thinking about.

Have the pictures disappeared? They are not showing for me.:confused:

Were you trying to see them from work? My office blocks a lot of the photo hosting sites and I just don't see hardly any pics from there. I usually have to wait till I get home to read threads like this.

Lol !!

So are there any buyers to help me try and get these cars? I think i found the owner it seems it might be a company i am not sure just yet.Could use some advise on what to say when i do find the owner .I have bought many 60s cars and know how to buy when it comes to one car but 40 cars. I might try and get some picts of the rest of the cars this weekend but dont want to take too many chances if no one is interrested in helping to buy them. Because i dont!!!! have that kind of money.

J/K these are from my neighbor's collection

What does this have to do with this thread??????

man i love that white 442 olds, had a 72' w-30 years ago would love that as much as another camaro.

I say you talk to the owner and find out what he would want for the cars -- tell him it can be mutually beneficial -- he'll have a clean building and several pieces of American history can continue to be preserved

Really, what about a group buy? I doubt OP needs or have money for all the cars.

Ok, I got $100 to throw in....I want a camaro though! :D

That's just too damn cool! I hope it works out, I'd go in on the purchase but I'm still saving my loose change and trying to finish off my 67' :noway:. Be careful who you tell around there, someone might swoop in and steal your find right out from underneath you, that would be a b*t#% :(.

If the owner can be located and contacted, then we could offer him a deal to purchase the cars only. This way he/she gets $$$ for the cars and still can sell the property. Of course we should be able to negotiate good wholesale price for the cars :-) Not being to greedy (as I would like only one car), whatever we do not want/need, can be sold and the profit from the remaining cars could be OP's finders fee. Should work out pretty well.

Sounds good on paper, Until there is something rare in the other garages then there would be problems between some people. :boxing::boxing:

Those are cool pics but I haven't seen anything yet that has me checking the bank balance...

My gut feeling, is that there may be a court order preventing anything from happening top the cars or the property. A possible lawsuit or maybe even probate. JMO.

so guys looks like theres not much interrest should i just forget about the whole thing? I think this could be a gold mine but i dont want to invest too much time if i dont have any help.

Not sure if its lack of interest as much is it lack of info!

Go in and get numbers

PM'd with interest.

I will try to get more pics of the good cars in front bldg i just didnt want to waist too much time if no one was really interested. I love pics but i have seen whats in there. But i do know it is hard for you guys to just go off of what i am telling yall. Ill see what i can do about more pics.

As stated above, don't expect guys to be willing to drop 100K on a bunch of cars that so far, are not worth anything. Get the information on every car that is there. Then guys might be willing to get involved.

The thing is, you have to be willing to make an effort if you want others to spend money for you to profit from. It may not be sufficient to get pictures. Investors would want to know exactly wht models are there. You could take a picture of a 6 cylinder '69 Camaro with a cowl hood in the far corner and it might be a COPO. Might will not get the money out. Positive id will.

Yea but the problem is getting in to get all the numbers.and there are sooo many cars it would take forever. Plus there all parked almost on top of another with tons of dust. And as far as profit goes i would only want what is fair and maybe a couple of cars.But i do understand what youre saying i just hate to miss out on a possible rare find.

If you can't make contact with whoever owns the cars/property, it is a waste of anyone's time to start talking about making a deal for the cars. Especially without knowing exactly what is there or if they are even available for purchase.

I would think that others have figured out where the cars are by now.

No offense, but to this point, there is no reason to cut YOU in on the deal so far.

Find out who owns them and if they can be bought.Then go through there and get a price.Some of them maybe valuable some arent.Doesnt matter whats there or what its worth until you know if they can be bought.You might get all of them for crush price to clean out the building $200 / car 40 cars $8000.00.You dont need an investor.What if someone is already looking for the owner while you talk about it?Next new post I SCOOPED ADMIRAL BOUGHT 40 CARS FOR $8000.00.Not trying to be an a$$ to you but you NEED TO TALK TO THE OWNER FAST!

Have you seen the price of scrap metal these days? Old 2 ton tessie's will bring a grand each!

Know 2 people that run crush yards they are paying $200 to $300 per car still.Point is he needs more info.Even at $1000.00 ea. its only $40,000.00.

Anyone that owns that many vehicles knows what they have. They didn't accidentally leave 40 cars in storage for no reason. If the owner has passed, I am sure whoever is in charge of the estate also knows what they have.

That's why we have to act fast. We still may have a lead if we find the owner and offer him fixed amount and "car disposal". Of course they might be worth more than what we can offer, but selling them individually takes time and not everyone is interested in doing so.

We really can't go any further without:

1. A detailed list/info on all vehicles.
2. Current property owners terms of liquidating vehicles. --If interested in doing so at all.

^^^ at the VERY minimum #1. nobody but the OP really knows whats there. I sold my boat yesterday so I have 20k on hand for the right cars. yes I said cars, for this to be a great deal 20k needs to buy more than 1 unless it is something really special.

I am also in with $20K on hand. I do not really need more than one car but I can buy more if right arrangements are made with the owner.

its all about what cars are there. the money is not the issue. Lots of people have the cash "on hand" There are pople on this site that could drop seven figures without even thinking about it (not me) if the cars were worth it. whats there and are they for sale? post a list of cars that people want, and the cash will FLOW in.

You still have to put your name on the list :-)

This deal sounds like a nightmare in the making.

Alright found a little more info out today getting close. A few people on this site has just said give up or someone already has beat you to the cars. The point of me letting everyone know about these cars is to give everyone a chance at getting a great deal. But at the same time i dont want to walk away empty handed.if i was to give up every time i found old cars. like someone said on page 9 then i would not have so many cool stories to tell like the my 67 rs/ss i just picked up I guess i should have gave up on that one 14yrs ago! Anyway i hope some of us can get some cool cars and great stoeies out of this i am doing the best i can. And to some of you that has pmd me i will get back to you as soon as i get all the info hopefully after this weekend. And thanks for everyones help.

For the people on this sight with 7 figure wallets I'll sell everthing I own.:D

I agree this sounds like a nightmare in the making!!
I would start by checking if back taxes are payed,
1 VACANT PROPERTY
2 FOR SALE FOR A WHILE
3 IF TAXES ARE UP TO DATE HE OR SHE PROBABLY HAS PLENTY OF MONEY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PROPERY MUCH. IMHO

What do you mean by nightmare? What bad can come out of this. If anything, it's adventurous and that's the fun in finding these old cars. Right? Or am I the only one that looks at it that way?

This deal sounds like a nightmare in the making.

Thats what I'm thinking. I have been following this thread since it began and still am wondering if these cars are for sale or just sitting? I know the property is for sale but that doesn't mean the cars are. As mentioned earlier; the person who owns all these cars must know the value.

I hope it turns out they are for sale but if they are not, there are going to be a lot of dissapointed people.

Ive also been following this thread and i don't want any of the cars, but i would love to hear the stories of the hands these cars fall in to... There must be a couple of rare cars to really check out and find some history....Just keep doing your best and if possible take more pictures.

I look at it as an adventure too. If it works out, then it would be one hell of a story. If it doesn't than fine with me. It does look like a lot of work but it might be worth it. Once we are able to locate owner and talk to him/her, we will have better understanding of what's going on. Who knows maybe the cars are stolen or maybe the owner is loosing money on the property in taxes/fees and is willing to let the cars go just to clear out the property for easier sale.

Did you ever hear about the Miracle Car Scam?

Unbelievable that people are gullible enough to hand over that kind of money for a car they've never seen.......:sad:

I don't foresee that happening here...:noway: I believe the potential players are smarter than that.:yes:

Keith
I dont mean anything negative towards you and im sure your intentions are good.

What im saying is that it all sounds like a recipe for disaster from all the unknowns to the bickering that would ensue if folks really did start throwing money around as to who gets what and why etc.....

I too having following this post since the beginning. What a great story, what I think everyone means by a nightmare is, with mulitple people throwing in it will be very difficult to say who gets what. Your best bet in my opinion is if the cars are for sale you find 1 or at most 2 investors. With both agreeing what is what and who gets what. By far your best bet is 1 person with the resources to cover the hole nut. Here's to hoping they are for sale and you find the right person with the money.

Kieth, Exactly what Craig is saying. It is not directed towards you, If a few people put up some money, who would get what car, I would prefer the big block camaro or a z28, not a rustang. I just thing there is way to many things that could cuase problems between people. I truely hope it works out for all that get involved. good luck:thumbsup:

Have you considered contacting the owner and getting an option?

Whatever the outcome of this, I still get excited thinking about looking through all these lost cars!

Alright guys good news ( I HOPE) i spoke with the realiter today she i very nice and she thinks i am interrested in the property! she talked to the owner wich is a bank ( long story) anyway the cars are for sale the owners are going to let me know monday what they want. I did alot of diging the property went from one man to a rental bussiness then merged with a bank now the bank ownes the place since 1992 What i get from her is they could care less about the cars in the bldg. I think she i helping me so much because she really thinks she has a sale on the property.So everyone keep there fingers crossed!!!!!!

That's good news Keith; keep pushin'. Don't forget to take your camera with you when you go back. :-)

When do you get to go into the 2 buildings?

Monday or tues

Cool. Keep us posted and take more pictures.

Alright guys good news ( I HOPE) i spoke with the realiter today she i very nice and she thinks i am interrested in the property!

I think she i helping me so much because she really thinks she has a sale on the property.

Wonder how her attitude is going to change when she realizes all your really interested in is the cars?

I dont think it will be too bad. ill give her a little something for helping so much.

Keith, as a Realtor I can say, if you tell her what you really want up front, she will be helpful to a certain extent. Offer her a 'finders' fee IF you are able to acquire the cars. Im talking $500 plus or minus, for her helping you stay on top of the cars. If a bank owns the building and land, they might not own the cars unless they have foreclosed on all the VIN Numbers too. One way to find out, is grab some VIN's and have them checked at DMV or grab some license plate numbers and have them checked to see status. You have to find someone willing to sort out "WHO" owns the cars. Cars are personal property not real estate , so they are treated different. If the bank charged for storage of the cars for 10 years, the bank might own them BUT They have to go thru the legal channel to take them for storage fees. With all those cars, if it were me in your shoes, Id find a good lawyer that knows that area and the bank and get some professional help so it doesnt blow up in your face. The right lawyer might even bankroll your purchase of the cars and then take his finance charge out when you sell them. Just tossing ideas out here.

Wonder how her attitude is going to change when she realizes all your really interested in is the cars?


Well if the cars have any significance/value it may pay to just make an offer on the entire property. If the property is for sale are the cars actually included ???? If so I dont think anyone would mind if you documented EVERY car on the property. All you need a few big hits in the pile and its a worthwhile investment. As far as getting a bunch of guys to all throw in some coin for a bunch of ratty old cars...... Thats got disaster written all over it :clonk:


MAN....... This sure smells fishy to me :beers:



bob

Hey Bob i would not want alot of people to go in on this deal maybe one or two if needed I can promise you there are some very good cars in there that i personaly saw including at least 7 pre 1972 corvetts one i think is a 427 vett also atleast 8 camaros from 67-69 dont know if there hi end cars but trust me there is not alot of junk in there. we will find out in the next couple of days and to you guys that have pm.d me i will call all of you and talk thins over with yall as soon as i get the facts.Unless they tell me to come get them for a couple of thousand wich i doubt will happen but you never know.

Here's some interesting cars...........

http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/837333662.html

WTF man, come on! I think this is a b.s. story for how long it's been play'd out.
I would have easily risked trespassing charges to get pics of the cars.
Good luck.

WTF man, come on! I think this is a b.s. story for how long it's been play'd out.

That or the realtor now wants nothing to do with the sale as he is only interested in the cars and not the property!

I thought he was suppose to get in there on Monday or Tuesday.

Where are the pics!!!!

Buy the entire property and quickly install your own locks on the buildings and put up a cyclone fence... :)

Everytime I read the title of this post I sing the jingle to a Chock full of nuts coffee commercial

talked to the lady yesterday she is showing me the property monday and giving me the info on the cars i told her one of my friends is into junk cars. She is young and sounds very wealihy i dont thin she cares about the cars and as far as she knows i still want the property. And no this is not a BS story i have better thing to do than make things up there are a few here that know me very well and know better. I would love to get someone involed as i work around 60hrs a week and have a family to support i just dont know who to trust i have been burned many times in the past. I

Opps sorry about the post as i was saying i know most of you guys on here are very honest i just dont know how we would work out a deal but i promise i am doing everything i can too find out how to get these cars.

Anxiously await a report on Monday night....

**Jeopardy Music**

I'm sorry man. :oI don't know you but i do know what it's like to work long/crappy hours to support a family.:boring: We're all very impatient when it comes to a potential gold mine find. I will be on here as often as it takes just to get a glimpse at some pics.:thumbsup:

Do you know the asking price for the building or buildings?

Do you know the asking price for the building or buildings?

Seems like it was mentioned somewhere back in the thread that it was $550K.

Interesting story, should be interesting on Monday evening.

I think we're losing thread followers here with the lack of updates!

I am still interested, but all I can do right now is to wait for OP to update us on what's going on.

please post update before eagles game:beers:.

Although I have not posted, I've been watching this thread with guarded optimism. Should an opportunity to invest in one or more of the cars present itself, I would be interested.

I got an extra $25!! Oh wait, gas just went up.......never mind.

If she says you can see or photograph the cars, you should try VERY HARD not to: 1) jump and down in glee, 2) laugh out loud, 3) clap your hands and sing Hallejujah!, 4) or say 'OMG.. I thought I was never gonna get to see them!.. *G*

If you can remain calm, perhaps she will persist in her mistaken belief that you *really* might buy that property! *L*

Gary is right, you need a good excuse or maybe you can just come clean with her and let her know that you are after the cars. You mentioned that you will give her something for helping you so she should be OK with that. Just make sure you say that cleaning out the buildings of the cars will make the property more appealing to the next interested buyer.

I think 'cleaning up the property of the cars' is the BEST approach, and it's honest and correct. Anyone interested in the property itself, will find it much more appealing if it is cleaned out so they actually inspect it... the realtor will understand this perspective as well.. and *might* help you approach the seller in the best way..

Is it Monday evening yet?

Oh well, Maybe tuesday. We need more pics please.
Go eagles!!! :beers:

Is it Monday evening yet?

It is here on the East coast. It might still be Sunday in Texas though. Not sure. :)

I worked for law firms for many years and was married to an atty a long time. I would be very careful telling the realtor you were interested in the land when you actually are not. If she has spent time and money showing you the land under false pretenses, there could be legal action. Some may argue anyone who gets involved could be named in a suit if they knew what was going on and form some sort of business group. I'm no lawyer, but these are things that should be considered.

Hey Wait..are you married to my wife too? :angry:

This is what happens when a timeline is not met... we have been waiting with baited breath to get an update and now the thread has taken a turn for the worse. You MUST giveus an update A.S.A.P. or the next thing you know we will be talking about politics in this thread, and that won't be good......:D

you're wanting *politics* now? SEX isn't enough for ya???? *L*

Heck, for all I know this discusion could spiral into a conversation about religion if this guy doesn't post something pretty soon ;)

Both my sons started CCD this week :yes:


As I previously stated.......................... Somethings fishy about this post :wacko: But I put my $25 aside and am ready to make a move. I always wanted a real nice, cheap Hemi 'cuda......but I'll settle for a challenger.



Good luck with this thread.....

So who do you think is more religious...McCain or Obama??







J/K...DO NOT respond to that. :)

This thread is http://images.corvetteforum.com/images/smilies/icon_bs.gif

Oh well, Maybe tuesday. We need more pics please.
Go eagles!!! :beers:

No pics and the eagles lost.

I am bumming hard core.

Great game but lousy ending...kinda like this thread?:D

There are no cars and there are no buildings.

My kid made the Atom B Rep team! NHL here we come....

Skip- really think so? I think Keith regrets opening a can of worms here and is probably now dealing with a few people, out of this thread. Of course, it would help if he were to come in here and explain that. I felt like it was for real not only because of the pics, but because he had been a member here for a few years. I can't even imagine the personal messages and emails he received on this. I'd guess well over a hundred; mostly from friends of friends and such. He's probably a decent guy, just overwelmed by all this.

This sucks... I just want to see some History of old cars, where are they. Its getting old and i would settle with the pics of the other set of cars. Good luck hope this works out for you. The anticipation is killing me.

You could be right....but a little update would be cool.

I did PM OP in the beginning of the thread with interest but besides not so frequent updates here on the forum, I haven't heard from him.

This is starting to get a little annoying :D

If this location was near Houston Hurricane Ike may have slow things down or maybe the location suffered damage and is inaccessible.

I gave up on this thread, you guys should too. it is as bad as the crushed cars thread. people keep posting to it like something is going to change. looks like a dead end. :(

Only good excuse for no updates , would be he is in jail for tresspassing;)

admiral if you are still looking for someone for financing I could arrange that. I have a car guy friend that is a multi millionaire, that could most likely buy the whole lot of them no problem. PM me if you are interested in doing this.

Dallas is a long ways from Houston, they'll be getting some rain and wind but nothing bad; as far as that being an issue.

Dallas is a way from Houston, Didn't take the time to re-read the thread. I knew it was up that way somewhere.

I vote that we boycott this thread until we receive an update... can I get a second?

J/K...about the stupid part i mean. :D

Guys relax he meant this monday!!:noway:

One big let down. I suppose because I wanted to believe that this was going to have a great ending. It still might, but I really doubt it.

Sorry guys it has taken me so long to post an update. I have been putting in many hours at work and we moved this past weekend and I just now got internet hooked up. I do have a few more pics of the cars that I will post ASAP (as soon as I find the cord in all these boxes!!)

Good news!! I found the owner and I spoke to the guy that is handeling the property and the cars on the owner's behalf. I do not know the story of the owner and the history of the cars but I hope to find out soon. The guy told me there are 150 pre '72 cars in the buildings and he also has another 150 pre '72 cars outside in another location. I last spoke to him yesterday and he is suppossed to call me to set up a time to look at the other 150 cars. He said he was once offered $900,000 for all the cars but the buyer had a heartattack and the deal fell through. He is not trying to sell the cars and prob never will but if he is given an offer he can't refuse he will take it. He did say that he will sell them all or split them up. He stressed that he is not interested in any kind of business ventures such as restoration, etc. or make any deals on the cars. It's either sell the cars or nothing and he really doesn't care either way. I think he has an idea of what the cars are worth but not to the extent to invest any time or energy into them. He is a really grouchy older guy and difficult to talk to. He said nobody else has approached him regarding the cars besides the previous guy. To me $900,000 sounds like a lot but it works out to $3,000 per car which for some of the cars that is very well worth it, for some maybe not so much. But then again, that is what the other guy offered so maybe he will accept less, then again he may want more. The good news is I am dealing directly with the owner's rep and have eliminated the go-betweeners.

Some of the cars in the building are a '69 Firebird convertible, '68 Charger, and a '69 Boss 302 Mustang. There are a total of around nine '67-'69 Camaros and the pics I am going to post there is a row of about nine '70-'73 Camaros still in real good shape and original. I still have not gotten into the first building as the door is screwed shut. That is where the nicest cars are located and they had to screw it shut as people were stealing parts off the cars.

A LOT of people have PM'd me and at this point, yes, I am overwhelmed. I have not had the time to respond to all the e-mails and PMs but I am looking for one or two people to go in with me to purchase all of these cars and sell them and/or possibly restore them. I would really like to start a business with this gold mine as I have a passion for restoring old cars and have been doing it for many years. I need to have the right backer to do what I am wanting to do but I am still entertaining the idea of purchasing 10-20 cars at first and then go from there.

These types of finds do exist. A friend of mine was driving down the road and noticed barn with what he thought were cars and sure enough....Mind you there are no hemi cuda's but there may be a 69 El Camino in the basement level but he said the bard is ready to fall down and he did not want to take the chance going down there.

wow, thats good news!

:rolleyes:I've got 2 million in my kids college fund i'd be willing to put up! Anyone else?!!!:clonk:

Thanks for the update. Im sure with moving and the long hours your putting in, your time is spread pretty thin. Good luck with whatever route you go with these cars!

I will take the 69 Boss 302..where do i send my 3 grand. :)

Then I guess I'll settle for the '68 charger for $3K, but only if it's a 440+6 car. :D

since no one likes 2nd gen cars, i will take the whole row for $5k ...

Dead thread?

not yet!!!!!!

Waiting on price for the 7 camaros 3 68 3 69 1 67 will let you guys know.

I know we are all Camaro guys, but what about the other cars? Are you only interested in Camaros? Vettes, Chargers and even Rustangs can be resold with profit if the purchase price is low.

I wouldn't mind hearing about the other cars as well

It is just taking me longer than i thought to deal with the cars he wants alot of info he asked what cars i wanted to look at the most i said camaros like i said he is pretty hard to read but i am working hard on it.

Glad to hear that this story is progressing. I know that this thread sometimes drags but I can understand that this is something off hours for you. I myself have full time job, part time consulting position, 2 year old kid and another one on the way so I know that at the end of the day there is not too much time left for other stuff.

Have a great evening and keep us posted.

This may have been answered already but are they any Goats in there maybe a judge?

Keith, find out how he came to own these cars if you can; how long they been there, etc.. that may give you some insight into what he's looking for. Is he a "car guy" or just a guy who owns cars? It wouldn't hurt to ask. that's a logical question at this point. Some of the basic things still apply. Does he have the titles? .....

I would be interested in any convertibles for the wife. Just about anything else for me thats cool and cheap enough. I do love Camaros, but I love lots of others too. I sent you a PM a few days ago. Brian

.... I do have a few more pics of the cars that I will post ASAP (as soon as I find the cord in all these boxes!!) ....



Have their been photos already that I missed?

Dibs on a 66 or 67 Chevy II!
If there is one in there.......
