Let 'em rot. It's ART!!

If that guy didn't buy them you know what they would be now? Toyotas.

And if you guys owned them you'd cut them up to match the flavor of the month anyway.

 

This is copied and pasted from the article:

"There just aren't many places where windshields still wear campground passes from the early '70s or university parking permits from the '60s. The enamel on steering wheels wears off in a particular way, seats sag peculiarly according to each driver's butt, and a pickup's floormats tear where the owner put his lunch box every workday for 20 years. Every one of the Car Garden's offerings was lived in—loved when new, taken for granted the majority of its life, and then discarded. They have no new life in Tom Merkel's Car Garden, but the lives of their owners, families, and drivers can be found in these artifacts."

I love this paragraph. These cars have a ton more character and history than some dude's chopped flat black coupe or sedan. I say let em sit. They're no more of a waste than half the "kustoms" on the road. There are plenty of cars to go around. I'd be damned if somebody tried to tell me what I could and couldn't do with the cars that I own.

 

I love hoarders. He's saving that shit for our kids man. Like it's been said already, when he kicks off in x-amount of years, those cars will be released on the world to people who really want them. According to the article, he bought all of them as cast-offs, I bet he didn't pay much at all for any of them in the past 25 years. Think about it, all those great stashes are there because some crazy asshole didn't want to sell his cars. He kicks off, then it becomes avaliable. It's the cycle of life.
