Title: An Amazing Story of a Collector and Donation of 30,000 Cars!!

If you haven't seen this yet, it's worth a few minutes to watch The Video.
A man in Lakeville, MN (2 hours from me), had died.. 69 years old, not married, not kids or family
left his house and contents to his church.
when the church went to look at the house, you'll be amazed at what this guy collected... It's well worth the watch!

Wow, what a nice story.  It just goes to show you you just never know what collections are out there.  More importantly it shows you what great people are out there.

That is a great story. Strange, but I can fully understand his mission in this collection.

Very cool. It would be great if the new owner keeps and expands on the collection and makes it public for people to be able to see it. I loved the notes he took, he totally had a passion for his cars. Amazing.

The new owner is a Church and they are selling it off for the $$$$
