I saw this during the past year. I believe the auction was Last November but the story is amazing

How could someone keep this collection. and no one say he had this? Read the promo, yes he is hung up on old bikes, but look at the cars, and think of the parts! How could some one keep a BARN load like this?

I didn't know some of these cars and bikes even existed. What a collection I bet they get millions.

This is a video on a loop, there are about 8 short clips. They will play one after another.

This would give American Pickers a heart attack. What a find old cars by the dozens and an unbelievable collection of old Harleys, Hendersons, Merkle and more. A lot of them started right up including a 100 year old Harley, Henderson & Excelsior. You gotta watch all of the videos as they pull this stuff out of the barn and start them up. It's all going up for auction. You will see a very unique and eclectic collection of a wide variety of antiques, found in the barns of an avid collector.

Well worth the watch - will take you back several decades in time - give it time between videos.

There are about 6 or 7 short videos that will play, one after the other. Really neat stuff!

Pretty amazing. The auction was on Chasing Classic Cars w Carini. 100,000 license plates. Took 3 weeks to catalog everything. Amazing collection or was it "hoarding"?

But I read recently on this forum that cars are not investments. :o
I guess it's different if the original "patina" is still on them.
Value must double if the original oil is in the crankcase and original
air is in the tires.
Even allowing for inflation I bet some of these are going to be
GREAT investments.
Oh but if that same money was put into art by Picasso or land in LA or or or or or.... it would have made wayyyyyy more money. :-D

Incredible! Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed it. Wouldn't it be fun to see in person and attend the auction?

I would have to agree with one of the earlier posters who described this as hoarding. I find it a bit disgusting. It certainley was Lee's right to collect these items, but to just let them sit there and deteriorate when there are many willing to purchase them and enjoy and restore them to working order for many to enjoy kinda bugs me. How could you possibly enjoy so many vehicles like this tucked away in a dirty old barn to gather dust. I find it odd. Definately agood video though , I did see this on chasing classic cars. I can only handle watching Wayne occasionally.
