It is a shame. This is a well known collection, as there have been a bunch of articles in the past.
Thanks for posting this.

I have seen that pic before and it made me just as mad as it does now, such a shame... I'd really like to get my hands on that guy and beat him or at least have him drug through the streets.... those cars deserve better.... I hate seeing these old vettes sitting and "waiting" for something to be done with them.... they are just rotting away.

Typical artiste. He thinks that his "Peter Max" paint jobs are the important part of the collection and is willing to ruin some really desirable Corvettes to serve his "vision". He's even willing to sacrifice his investment in these cars on the altar of his ego. First off, who the hell remembers Peter Max except a few burned out hippies from the psychedelic sixties? The guy is so passe that they don't even have a word for it. Well, maybe "dead".

You need to be old enough to have been young enough in the 60's to know about the birth of the word psychedelic. Then you'll remember Peter Max.

Man, I think thats awesome! Not that he has them locked up, but they are all there together. There must be some good security on them because like he said, there's a couple million dollars down there.

That's one situation where the work will be worth more if the artist dies BEFORE he paints them!!
Somebody stop him!!!!

Why is so many artists comes up with some stupid fn idea and calls it "art?"
"Hey I know, lets screw something up as bad as my no talent azz can and see what I can get for it, Ill call it vision or art or something, it will be cool. Beats getting a job, man"

Drugs.

i remember when vh-1 had that contest ,i entered a few times, then when someone from huntington long island won i thought that was great ,then i found out ,where does one put all these cars,you also have to realize that this amount of cars were put together for a purpose, to promote music vidios ,i saw some of the cars on comericals ,and they were put toghter for that purpose , bad body work ,bad paint, non matching anything ,don;t worry no high dollar big money cars in that collection ,i wondered if it was still together ,maybe someone will contact peter and he will open it to the forum members so we can look and see, maybe we can make a fundraiser for a charity using this collection with a few hundred people we can clean up all those cars in less than 1/2 day
