Well, I know all want pics... too bad.

He is a very private person and does not want this collection flaunted. So pics of the entire collection are out of the picture....

BUT, I bet a few pics of the cars will be OK,,,just not the location or garage,,,which is killer by the way...

there are TWO SSR's and the rest is vettes,,,I counted at least 25 ..I know there is more.

I will not give the location or name of the owner....

Now that's a job that should be a real blast to do. 30 cars is a lot, but when they are nice, seems much easier to do.
